On my entrance, the steward on the inside is sitting reading a book each game. Not checking any of them.
Hopefully, I loathe to praise them but Leeds appear to have done us a favour with both Gelhardt (no loan fee) and Gyabi (free transfer) with our current transfer restrictions when they probably could have got fees for both players.
Pandur was spending a long time on the ball because of what Portsmouth were doing. They were letting him have it and marking everyone else. It was a good thing that he didn't rush to boot it before anything was on. The first big delay with the ball at his feet ended with him finding Destan's head who flicked on for Gelhardt, creating one of the best chances of the game. Sergei mentioned that they knew Portsmouth would press in this way and that's part of why Destan was picked, for that pass in exactly that scenario. I think Pandur struggles more when he is pressed and is forced to kick it quickly under pressure, like Preston did to him.
