Comments on: Leeds grabs 3-2 victory over Crewe Alexandra http://leeds.theoffside.com/team-news/leeds-grabs-3-2-victory-over-crewe-alexandra.html News from Leeds United English League One football team Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:23:09 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: j http://leeds.theoffside.com/team-news/leeds-grabs-3-2-victory-over-crewe-alexandra.html#comment-3381 j Sun, 22 Mar 2009 01:32:56 +0000 http://leeds.theoffside.com/team-news/leeds-grabs-3-2-victory-over-crewe-alexandra.html#comment-3381 Thank you for your comments - its always nice to have you join in. I respect your opinion and to be honest I don't think Leeds is playing to their ability as much as playing under the new managers vision. That is the problem of replacing a team in a promotion fight mid-year because the existing talent base isn't being utilized to their ability. As far as my posts I thought I was fairly obvious but I appreciate your commentary and maybe I should be more obvious although I do want balance a honest reporting of the match given that many readers are not familiar with League One. However as it relates to Leeds, in my opinion they don't necessarily need a different defender but a different vision to <i>defending</i>. They are remarkably predictable and will need to make significant changes if they do win promotion, which of-course is far from guaranteed.

First off, I like your site because you have something intelligent to say although sometimes you rush it and sometimes you don't completely speak your mind. I would hope that anyone who participates in this blog has something constructive to say even if the opinion is the opposite so long as it is supported. So often sport blogs are just one fool slamming another. What bothered me about today, other than obvious fact that the defence is still very suspect, especially when a sub is needed, is that the team with the extra man could not keep its form and determination and keep up the assault. That is always the problem when the game starts to get lopsided but it is up to the coaching staff to ensure that they do. Anyone who didn't should have come off. The same is true when a team backs up and goes into a defensive mode. Someone on the sidelines has to shake them out of it. If this team wants to advance, they have to mature and get disciplined. And get another defender. It is me again.
