So much good news, L is for .... Lambert. What technique again. One chance - one great goal. Lallana. We won without him. We missed him, but he's had a break while we've won. Luck. They say it balances out, well yesterday made up for Brighton (Lallana 'goal', stonewall penalty and the absurd red card) and Cardiff (how many penalty shouts) and any other bad luck we may have had. On another day the ref would have given them the pen for the Fonte 'handball' and/or those late headers would have dropped under the bar. Lord Davis! What can you say? Let's make sure we sing his name especially loudly against Barnsley next week. Loquacious candour! Our Rickie after the game gave his usual honest appraisal. We were terrible and Kelv was great. That's it, I've stretched this as far as I can! Help, please Right just off to dig out my Cardiff scarf from last week!
What more is there to say? I am still checking the score in the pink to make sure it wasn't all a dream. Just hope we haven't used up all of our luck in that one game.
I think it shows just how good we have been that its soo surprising that we've won a game which we player poorly in pretty much all our other wins have come from good performances. Also what's happening with Lallana I presume it was his knock from last week but I havent actually heard anything about it, does he have a chance of making tuesday?
I think he is still carrying a groin problem. He may need to be looked after for the rest of the season by the looks of it.
Don't think he'll be too away based on his tweet from just before yesterday's game @adlallana1: Up in Leeds supporting the lads! Not far off full fitness! Great atmosphere at Elland road, fancy us for all 3 points #COYR
In one of Nigel's post match interviews, he said he thought Lallana would be ok for Ipswich. Tbh, I'm slightly glad he wasn't quite ready for Leeds. As the master playmaker that he is, he almost certainly would have been kicked from pillar to post, and may have come off worse. Adkins doesn't want to lose his Best Player in the Football League™ during the run-in.
