Not a pretty sight this afternoon but we got the 3, much needed, points - and against the white scum at that!
First haalf yes, shi*, but great second half... Leeds are just crap, just seem slow and dont want to play for shirt.
RE: First haalf yes, shi*, but great second half... Leeds are crap, unfortunately they brought us down to their level. Dirty though - thats right....and gamesmanship as well...Gary Kelly went down early in 2nd half with, what appeared to be, cramp...on comes the physio, a few minutes later he says something to 4th official, who speaks to the ref and game held up again while ref retrieves something from the pitch that the physio left on!
RE: First haalf yes, shi*, but great second half... And he'd realise he didn't have that when he was in the dugout wouldn't he?! Gamesmanship that was.
RE: Agreed 2 sit just behind me at work as well! It'll be even better to tell them it was the worse I've seen us play this season! ff
Very harsh IMHO I don't think the first half was up to much and we allowed them to control the midfield - we got what we deserved as a result and went in behind at half time. However, the 2nd half performance I thought was magnificent, we closed them down much better and won our share of 2nd balls and knock downs (which has been a problem all season). Credit where it is due, AR got an extra 10% out of them 2nd half. Nardiello changed the game, not just for his own efforts at goal but for the fact that their defenders shat their pants every time he got the ball. Brian Howard would not have got his chance for the winner had Nardiello not taken 3 of their defenders out of the game with his run. Which essentially explains the difference between him and Richards. On a contribution by contribution basis Marc can make a case for being in the side, but he just does not pose a threat in the same way as Nardi. Well chuffed for the Reds today, lets just hope we can get something else before Ipswich turn up here - tricky games coming up...
