My fiesty five-year old's first game and my first game since Doncaster at home last season and what a contrast! The best game I've seen for years and the atmosphere was cracking - top marks for the south stand!
Although my young lad really enjoyed it, he wouldn't sit still and I had him climing over me for the half the game, but players I noticed:
Berardi - noticed he got skinned a few times by Bunn and his frustration boiled over in those tackels culminating in his sending off.
Warnock - hard working and put in some good tackles.
Bellusci - put in some good blocks.
Doukara - liked what I saw briefly of him when I watched the Bolton game on TV. Really liked his movement, power and commitment to the cause in the game.
Austin - not that I get to many games, but best I've seen him play. If he can consistently deliver he's a great asset. Oh, and a great goal!
Antenucci - skillful, exciting to watch and took his opportunity in the rebound for the second goal.
Overall, great performance from the team. It was a pleasure to watch a Leeds team who can pass, are committed and can play with some flair. Really enjoyed it. It's been a long time, but it was the first time in years that I've watched a Leeds team and been able to enjoy it and not feel anxious throughtout.
Another nice touch at the end was Cellino who came over to the East Stand after the game and walked up through the fans to say hello.
Wish I had the spare cash to come up for the next game, but I'll have to save my pennies. Hopefully I can get a ticket for Cardiff away.
Redfearn has done a great job. I can understand putting him back in the acadamey, but I wonder if some other club will make an offer for him in the future?
All looking very promising. We've had a few false dawns, but this time if feels like it is all coming together. I just hope Shaun Harvey doesn't get to stick the knife in.
So pleased Leeds put on a show for you & your boys CW, hopefully see you at Cardiff
