Republic Of Leodensia
Player Valuation: £1.5m
Pleased with that result. From a Leeds perspective it was the best performance I've seen from them in a long time. Diouf was superb, Austin's free kick was beautiful. Very reminiscent of the Grayson era.
You shouldn't be so down on yourselves though, every team has an "off-night", it happens. God knows how many times we've lost to lower opposition in the past. 4-1 and 5-2 to Barnsley in the past two years to name just a couple. Your side is still class, with players like Fellaini, Jelavic and Pienaar rated by myself as some of the best the Premier League has to offer. Some of Moyes' selections tonight were questionable, but hell, as a Leeds fan I know how it feels to see dodgy team selections by your manager!
Sp chin up, best of luck with your season (you'll definitely be in Europe next year, one way or another), and I hope to meet you lot on the pitch again sooner rather than later!
