Given that we still have to play Man Utd and Arsenal away this season then if we still hope to qualify for the Champions League this season then we really have to win games like this one.
Leeds are bottom of the league , before today's game they only had 3 home wins and scored a meagre 13 goals. With off the pitch problems and a stand in manager they should have been there for the taking. After all the League table doesn't lie after a third of the season - they are the weakest side in the premiership.
We succeeded in turning a lead into a deficit with some poor defending. Baros did look sharp and took his goal really well - pity we cannot say the same about Owen. If you don't put away the majority of chances when your defence is not as strong as it once was then you will not win games. I give Leeds credit for their attitude and endeavour but we really should be winning games like this
And then we have the post match reaction of our wonderful leader. Yes he really enjoyed the game , football was the winner today ! Maybe there is some truth in what he says but it his smug complacent manner which winds me up.
Basically his attitude says " Yes we f##ked up today but I don't give a f##k as I am untouchable ! I will come out with nice sounding platitudes about how good the game was , how hard Leeds tried... that way Moores and Parry will swallow this patronising bullsh#t ...and avoid me from having to answer questions about how we nearly 30 points behind Arsenal and a million miles away from winning anything of true substance under my management !
