Well we chalked up a rare away victory and to be fair we deserved it.
When the team was announced with no Nicholls, no Flo and no Derry we feared
the worse, surely a midfield of Sa , Douglas, Howson and Thompson would be
overrun and we would be in for a hammering ?
Instead the team went for it, fighting and contesting every ball and at times
playing some decent pass and move football.
Once again Marques made everyone wonder why he was not given a chance
earlier, Sa continued to impress, Thomspon looked a class apart and Douglas
covered every blade of grass putting in one tremendous goal saving tackle.
We deservedly went one up when a floated free kick was poked in by Heath ,
the second was another great free kick from Thompson. Hull never really
threatened and never put us under any real pressure - they were pretty awful in
truth. The goal came when we failed to clear a free kick wiht Lewis colliding
with another Leeds player resulting in the ball falling kindly for the Hull
player to score from a yard out. But despite this equalising goal coming in
the dying seconds of the first half we refused to crumble and cmae out for the
seond half seemingly full of confidence.
So all in all a good result and performance even thought the gloss was taken
off a little bit when news filtered through that we were now bottom of the
league.
For the person who asked about Tom Elliott - since he did not get on the
pitch it is impossible to comment on his ability but he certainly looked very
tall and thin when he was warming up - think a young black Peter Crouch !!!
