You're a tinker, Hemsworth, aren't you? Before anyone comes on and slaughters you I'll acknowledge that you're stating what someone else has said, not what you're necessarily thinking yourself! It seems to me that Danny has set the team up with the first priority of stemming the flow of soft goals - which he achieved. Beyond that, I think Danny envisaged us attacking on the break. 51% possession and an equal number of shots (admittedly fewer on target) as Leeds suggest Danny was spot on with his tactics. Big bonus that Bobby and Nyatanga have played and offered something better. All in all, a fantastic start, and I can't wait for Boxing Day! COYR! WITWW!
Job well done then. Had Tudgay not been sent off we could have got more according to my brother who went. Said Wiseman Butland Cranie and Nyatanga played particularly well. But his man of the match....... Bobby Hassell.
We sort of did. Well, not exactly, but we set up to keep it tight and stop them scoring, but hoped to nick one on the break. Good tactics away from home as far as I'm concerned. I think the main evidence that we didn't play for 0-0 was that when Danny thought Leeds had burnt themselves out, he brought on another striker in an attempt to win it. Unfortunately, 2 minutes later, Tudgay got himself sent off so we never got the chance to do it.
I heard Nigel clough talking the other day about grinding out results.... it puts points on the board, boosts the players confidence, gets the fans behind the team and everything snowballs from there. We need to get out of the losing habit. Today was step one on our road to recovery.
Why, oh why didnt you apply for thr job, then we would only play your best players and win every game 6-0???????????
