Big one for Leeds whites, given there are only three of us we are proud to have 5 mobbing up for this one.

So before the game, not knowing the result, if Dougie changes team for any reason other than injuries, is he a fuckwit ?

I loved the way our fans sang "Speedo" - lulling the Leeds fans into a 'brothers in arms' scenario - and then hit them immediately after with the Jimmy Saville song. Was like the wooden horse of Troy!!!

Sums up wanderers fans/humour perfectly. Love it.

Superb

Fantastic day, was great to catch up with Smiley, Garrp and Colin and great to meet Victor Meldrew, top chaps all.

 

Brilliant atmosphere yesterday, even before we scored!  Well done to everyone concerned, yesterday was one of those days that remind you why you fell in love with it all in the first place.

Pretty decent following, that. I'm a bit delicate today.... well worth it though

What the fook's going on back there.

I suffer months of (mostly) old rubbish tat.

I go away and they start dry-bumming half-decent opposition match after match.

Did not think I was that pissed.

 

Apparently agreed mother in law could come on holiday with us in the summer when I got home.

 

Fuck me it is easier when are shit.

Cracking day out and a great team performance. shame we conceded as a clean sheet would have been the cherry.

 

1100 whites didnt stop singing throughout and it went mental underneath when we scores the first - keeping up my habit of missing any goal within 10 mins either side of half time.

 

 

De de de de den!

oooooooOOOOOHHH!!

 

Train journey back was ace - my jeans stink of beer! :-D

It's me who's responsible - shit fan who hadn't been for ages - 200 miles away etc. Mother in law poorly in Heaton so go to both Watford and Dingles and personally tee off winning run.

 

Saturday - flew to India (regular trip for me) and in 20 trips have never got to Bangalore, switched phone for score and seen a win or even many draws until yesterday.

 

Epic but still can't get access to highlights as wifi criminally dodgy.

Fair play to dougie, it would have been so easy for him to see going away to Leeds as the point to shut up shop and go back to the 451 but he stuck by his team and let them worry about keeping juke, mason, Davies and Danns quiet. The way those 4 are playing I don't think there are many teams that could cope with them.

 

A lot of things have come together at the right time, getting juke in alongside mason who is a different player when he's part of a 2 man frontline. I was completely wrong about him and am very happy to admit that.

 

Davies back from his injury and playing in a midfield full of 4 players who are willing to run their bollocks off in order to compensate for our lack of width. As soon as Leeds' wingers got the ball yesterday there was always 1 of the midfield straight out to them to make sure the full backs had cover, it was never just 1 of them either, all 4 were willing to put the effort in and work for the team.

 

Wheater is showing just how good he actually is, he looks a completely different player to the semi fit performances he put in at the start of the season. Fair play to freedman for making the decision to take him out of the team and getting him back to his best, we're starting to see why he was given a new contract in the summer.

 

Support was once again top class as well, not a ba away day all in all.

 

Bring on Yeovil

Talkshite yesterday the reporter said we were playing 442 with Juke playing up top with Medo.

Talkshite yesterday the reporter said we were playing 442 with Juke playing up top with Medo.

Medo definitely wasn't up top, but I'd struggle to put an exact formation on how we play at the moment. The 4 man midfield is constantly switching, it looks for the most part like a diamond with Spearing always sitting and Danns generally the man behind the strikers, but Medo, Davies and Danns are always changing and covering each other. It works very well with 4 players who have so much energy and don't stop running all game.

 

I wouldn't fancy putting Eagles, Lee or Moritz into that system from the off

I know I never shut up about him but Neil Danns is a ridiculously good footballer.

 

he's nearly as good as doogie is at picking a player.

I love Danns he's the type of player would have got in the great mcginlay team, however there's a rolls Royce playing for us now step forward Mark Davies, do you agree Garp?

Bit surprised there was no Stuart Holden song, but if that is the only thing missing from the day.

 

12 year old step daughter was singing wanky wanderers and time to go with much gusto.

 

The 15 year old lad is looking forward to school with his Leeds mates tomorrow.

There were a couple near us but they didn't really catch on

Made up for Zat. He deserved that goal.

Over heard One of the female coppers telling her male colleague "these lot are so funny" in referance to ohr fans.

 

I can't put into words how good yesterday was.

nobody and i mean nobody wanted 4-4-2 with mark davies on the left wing and danns on the right

 

or with a coventry motherwell middlesbrough failure playing with a useless cardiff reserve up front

That's not mutually exclusive of the post you quote though is it

Pretty sure most would have taken 4-4-2 in any form given how poor we were playing with one up top. I'd certainly have taken it earlier in the season, even before we signed the two loan lads. He persisted with the old system for too long, despite how well we're playing now, we're too far away from the play offs (unless we go on a truly ridiculous run, although after the end of last season hope springs eternal)

 

On a vaguely related note, does anyone know when this transfer embargo would kick in due to FFP? We might not be able to sign the loan players (Danns aside), regardless of cost

Thing is... we're not really playing a tradition 4-4-2. As someone above said, it's more of a diamond in midfield with the forward three of that floating between positions.

 

FWIW I agree that a traditional, ie. flat, 4-4-2 wouldn't work.
