Leeds v Sheffield Wed - Team/Reports/Ratings

[rab_rant]

Mowatt and Murphy on

[rab_rant]

Brilliant run from Dallas and puts in Wood for a goal

[The Subhuman]

Sorry Gandi nothing impressive from this SW team at all bar maybe Palmer. We're playing the better football and were geting contained by niggly fouls and poor refereeing..plus three of our first teamers were on the bench.

Dallas much better on the right

It'll come down to Wood and Beradi for man of the match...both out satnding

[rab_rant]

Dallas off lump of lard Doukara on... why not Erwin????

[rab_rant]

What is it with five men a straight line for corners???

[rab_rant]

Another draw! if it goes on like this for the rest of the season will 46 points be enough to save us.
This is getting to be like another Darko effort.

[Gurj]

Have to say I'm extremely disappointed with that today !

That is the worst Wednesday team I've seen for many years , there for the taking yet we could only manage a draw again.

We looked so slow and ponderous going forward, better in 2nd half but again the lack of pace is killing us. Without that we are too easy to defend against.

Has Chris Wood been banging that linesman's wife? At least 4 times in that half wrongly given offside.

[Gandalf]

Much better second half. Murphy helped to shore up the central midfield area where we had struggled in the first half. Bamba MOM for me - Imperious in defence and dangerous bringing the ball forward.

[Norm]

You got the draw right faaip - at least we didn't lose.

Thought the entire back four was solid, though Berardi was rash a couple of times. Young Taylor is some player for all the age of him. Bamba a natural leader and Ant a real handful. Murphy, Mowatt and maybe Cook to start next game, we need a much higher tempo, especially at home

[The Subhuman]

Beradi for me, immense in defence and going forward. Wood a close second, looks a very good player. Bamba 3

[ldsutd]

we should of won that game but I have said that all season lol.
Adeyami far too slow he has the pace of a slug in mud.
Philips isn't good enough to be in our midfield yet, we need to play Murphy.
Antenucci is a handfull they had him well marked. Wood is a great player never stops for a big lad and is starting to find his shooting boots.
Defence handled everything well it took a bit of brilliance to get there goal.
Can anyone tell me why we have Erwin???
Dallas played well again he could well be the difference for us this season and opened them up when he was switched to the right.
A week off now and boy do we need it.

what I like about Wood is he doesn't let his head drop if he fluffs a chance. And for a big lad, he puts in a shift. There's the makings of a partnership with him and Ant, I reckon. Berardi was solid today, but could have walked on another day. For that reason, I'm going with Bamba

not sure what for. the booking wasn't and he was more sinned against than sinned. We saw much worse from SW without penalty.

Wood almost made something from nothing on 2 occasions including getting up quickly and well at the near to get his head on Taylors snap cross which I don't think anyone was expecting.

[Crude]

Cooper got totally owned on that goal. Bellusci in instead, and the Wendy player never gets into that position.

I think that's a fair assessment. I'm in the way of thinking with these past results that we are beginning to become a harder team to beat rather then dwelling on the draws....the wins will come, we just lack that 'bit-of-edge' going at goal, but we are getting closer IMO.

My God it's almost September, all I'm asking is Saturday afternoon 3pm kick off A week off should be welcomed.

[The Subhuman]

Silvestri - nothing much to do, did it when called on - 7
Beradi - Class act throughout - 9
Taylor - Looks better going forward - 8
Samba - would prefer him in his natural position, set himself too far right on occasions - 8
Cooper - a little hesitant, short passing was poor, lost possession early which could have been trouble - caught offside - 5
Byram - Got back well but a little quiet upfront without his mukka Mowaatt with whom he has a telepathic connection - 6
Adayemi - lost possession in dangerous areas looked a little sluggish, should start if Cook is fit - 6
Phillips - Booked for nothing really, but didn't seem to know what to do with the ball when he had it. - 5
Dallas - poor until he switched sides, call me old fashioned but right footed wingers need to play on the right wing...it brings the by-line into play - 7 with a whole 1 point for the assist
Antenucci - always dangerous, if he were more consistent he'd be playing in a top division somewhere - 7
Wood - does what it says on the tin with the addition of some nice close control, Won headers all afternoon and once players learn to play off him his assist rate should sky rocket - 9

Mowatt - some neat touches - 6
Murphy - looked better than either Ada or Phillips but for him that's not difficult. - 7

Doukara - one sublime pass apart from that don't remember much - 6
