The score makes it look as though we made heavy weather of it, but I thought we could of had three or four.

I though Vine was awesome.......ran his socks off, won most headers and really linked well wth bendtner.
Clem was outstanding along with Sadler.......McSheff was ok.......Muamba was ok winning the ball, but looks poor in his useage.......Tiny was immense again.........but N'Gotty looks poor at centre half........Kelly looked rusty and got little help from Larsson who had a poor game apart from his set pieces.....Jerome and Nafti did ok, infact Jerome looked hungry and set Bendtner up for the shot that hit the post............I know Gray came on, not sure if he got a touch........and finally, Doyle looked comfortable, but needs kicking practice.

Man of Match for me..............can't split Clem and Vine.


Another performance that looked to promise lots, but just lacked the final ball os shot to really put the game to bed.......but you can't argue with three points **thumbup

We did make heavy whether of it and were out played for large periods of the first half. Leeds really should have scored and missed a couple of glorious chances, maybe that’s why they are bottom because there certainly didn’t look like 24 places between the teams.

Yes we should have had three or four but only because of the chances we missed at the end when Leed’s through everything forward and left huge gaps.

Vine played OK but he works the channels, like Bendtner does, so we often had no target man / man in the box. Not sure that partnership is the best we have.

I would agree with most of your other player assessments. Biggest problem though is we have poor ball retention and passing plus we try to over complicate things. Makes you wonder how good we could be if we played as a team.

Whilst Leeds did have long periods of ball retention and had a couple of chances to possibly get level.....
I never really thought they worried the keeper too much, and really flattered to decieve.
I also agree with you that we do try to overcomplicate things......in and around the oppositions area we always lack the correct final ball.....or try too many passes around the box........and in our own area, sometimes it just needs the big boot......not the fancy footwork some of them try !!!

Did Doyle have to make any saves???? We hit the post and their keeper made a couple of brillant saves, let alone half chances we had. WE ARE TOP oF THE LEAGUE!!! Loads of positives from tonights game and guess what? It was against a team that is struggling and that as been our down fall of late not being able to finish of lower teams. So that for me is improvement.

Doyle - Safe but they actually EVER work on his distribution in training ???
Kelly - Excellent so good to see a RB playing RB
Sadler - Best game in a while, did what he is paid to do & defended
N'Gotty - Fair seemed to forget that he had moved to centre half on occasions
Taylor - Defended well without his Ronaldinho turns for a change
Larsson - Huffed & puffed but didn't blow any houses down
McSheffery - So wants to get hold of the ball & get us going that he is now trying too hard & failing
Muamba - Looks world class without the ball
Clemance - Played too deep IMO but swept up and played effective 5 yard passes throught
Bendtner - Best game since early December
Vine - Good to see him get a start but how many of his goals did he smash into the net from the left touch line...not many I suspect....GET IN THE BOX MAN !!!

Nafti - The Crab made a noteable forward pass just minutes after coming on
Gray - The stats will say he entered the pitch
Jerome - Works hard & tests defences to his own detriment looks a better sub

I am not saying it wasn’t an improvement, it couldn’t have got much worse that some of the recent performances.

However, whilst Leeds seldom troubled our keeper we hardly made theirs work that hard, not counting the last five min where they piled forward and didn’t bother to defend.

We did a job, we just about deserved the victory but it was hardly glorious football and for long periods a neutral would have been hard pressed to tell you which team was twenty four places above the other.

By the way Doyle made three saves, including getting a touch to the one that hit the post, whereas their keeper also made a staggering three saves.

We are good in our own way. Some though seem to think we are better than we are, whilst others, me included, feel we should be better than we are given the quality in the squad.

We are top of the league on merit but certainly not because we are making best use of our resources.

I was just having a bit of fun - I agree completely - I think we've got the best squad in the division but really don't play like we have!

seriously (for once!) would you rather be playing good footy and being mid-table or top and squeezing results out? remember, this is a transitional time with the prem as our aim i believe. if not, bring back bazza and lets get the party started! :D

I'm not saying that we should play good football and be worse off! My point is

1 - we play poor and win we play well and win more!
2 - we don't have to play total football to play well we can play defensive and play well.
3 - results make me happiest - but I can't help but think there is more to be given by blues and they've not really looked like doing it this season.
4 - this standard of football won't keep us up if we get promoted (IMO)
