Unashamed to post my tv report. That win is worth more than the 3 points we get for it, not only because it knocks our biggest threat back but in terms of belief alone it is worth 4 points. In terms of what we deserve for artistic merit, skill, effort etc, hell the FL should just give us 6 - we were fabulous. Derby weren't just seventh, they were an expensively put together seventh who were made to look ordinary. Player ratings (genuine) Green, 8 nearly cost us but maybe not if hadn't waved his arms in the air. Anyone who thinks Silvestre is better is....wrong can't quantify the belief he gives those in front of him and had the audacity to commentate at the same time - had so little to do. Coyle, 9 - player, will have a really good career Bartley, 9 - ain't nobody etc. Also brilliant captain, showed what it really means to try not to score from 4 inches out because you are so confident in your Centre Forward. Just excellent. Ayling, 11 - simply because you can't give more than 10. Berardi, 9.5 - just excellent. Roofe, 9.7 a snip at 3 million. Already excellent but going to get so much better. Even plays with his socks down like Eddie. Hernandez, 10 - too good for anyone else outside the prem. Just sublime. Bridcutt, 9 - captain dirty, don't care what anyone says, we missed him. Viera, 11.5 - said it a few times, this boy is why we have to go up. If we don't, he won't be here long. Yes, a few 18 year old errors in possession but my oh my, any top club in the world could sign this boy for a lot of money and not be wrong. Doukarra, 4. Better second half. Wood, 9 - does more than it says on the tin. Subs, Dallas, 8, Glory is wrong. Mowatt, 6 unless someone wants to pay a lot of money for him. Side notes, sounded awesome, son was gutted we weren't there but I was grateful for the log burner and Sky after a long week at work. He was, however, pleased, that they covered up the lower section of the cheese wedge to keep his seat dry for our next visit. Nearly last, Garry Monk deserves true recognition. If you could have guaranteed me safety in October I would have bitten your arm off. Lastly, it's good to see Rad has settled in well enough to invite one of his Italian looking scally mates along to the match
Doukara was excellent pal , didnt quote cos to long, agree with everything else but 4 really!! 9 in my book, held the ball up well brought team mates in to play and beat derby players in to submission !!
If I PM you, would you send me some? Just don't see it in Doukarra. Probably the best post I have ever seen about him was Eire saying he probably put weight on during the Cambridge match - laughed all week at that
Even the attempts of the top of a radiator onto kneecap will not dampen the spirits of the returning Leeds fan. Not sure why walls and radiator obstacles appear out of nowhere to cause this versus normal walking around the house behaviour pre-guinness. It is as if they are waiting to have a go. If you hate Leeds United have a go.
Apparently, if you put 100 monkeys in a room with typewriters for long enough they will write a classic novel. Doesn't make them great authors. I prefer my 11 for Ayling and 4 for Doukarra.
