katieakita Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 Really good win and with Fryatt i think i;ll back Sven's judgement as to if he's in the squad on Saturday, we might have a couple more players by then and if so the promotion charge is on. I think the Thai's had more to do with it than Milan but well done for bringing in Sven, come on Sky show the goals. ATB Paul
Guest Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 Steve Howard's goal was a beauty. All the hard work done by King though with a perfectly weighted pass to set Big Steve up. King was immense, as were Moussa, Davies, Hobbs and Naughton.
caz05 Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 I'm dreading the day he gets linked to a much much bigger club and ends up on their bench and not playing regularly . He's fast becoming a fans favourite the way that he's playing. Can't believe he's played 126 games for us already. Time's flown by! To be honest i wouldnt think he would want to leave (hope not anyway)
Tommeh Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 How did Moussa get on? The boy is growing on me. Very exciting lad, comfortable on the ball, very fit and athletic and a constant problem for Leeds. Big fan of the lad, I'd happily see him be a permenant fixture on the right on that showing.
Guest shearfox Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 Davies and Naughton = sign them up now! Those two alone would probably take all of the supposed transfer budget plus more but it would be worth it.
Stevosevic Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 Very exciting lad, comfortable on the ball, very fit and athletic and a constant problem for Leeds. Bug fan of the lad, I'd happily see him be a permenant fixture on the right on that showing. Better than when Gradel broke on the scene? I hope so.
ozleicester Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 just back at the hotel in wakefield... my first awayer... and WHAT A GAME, we were all over them, out played all over the park... the 2 CB's we awesome built from the back. The midfield dominated them they didnt touch us, up front we worked hard deserved a coupe in the first half and got reward in the 2nd. Moussa was sensational, when Abe came he was superb. WHAT A ****ING GAME... can we play here every week. Also just heard the radio saying that we are the best team to come to ellend rd this year (think it was Grayson who said it) ei ei ei o..... its upp the football league we go
foxer Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 How did Moussa get on? The boy is growing on me. Yeah he played well. He was quick and showed good feet and always seemed to come away with the ball after a challenge. Was only the second time I have seen him this season and I was impressed. He has made the step up to the championship with ease it would seem.
Jakemoore Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 I can rub this in my gf's stupid yorkshire face, again. Bet she's having a great time.

STUHILL Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 Great win!! Sven is showing his class already with Davies and Naughton signings, plus playing Moussa. We still need to tighten up at the back but I can see us doing that over the next couple of games. Plus with a striker coming in, Roberts or Miller as well as Vassel, then I think we will start being more clinical infront of goal. I can see a bright future under Sven
Koke Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 From a Leeds perspective. http://www.thescratchingshed.com/2010/10/leicester-city-master-class-leaves-leeds-united-shell-shocked/ The signs of a tough evening came early for Leeds United tonight as Leicester City passed their way around Elland Road like they were the home team, effortlessly carving out no less than three goal-scoring chances in the first 13 minutes.Things didn’t get any better for Leeds United either and despite a vast array of missed chances, Leicester kept their tails in the air and wondered around the Leeds United players like they were nothing more than traffic cones. There was even show-boating displays at one point as Leicester’s effortless stroll in the Elland Road park continued. Such was the inadequacy of the Leeds United team, Simon Grayson took the unusual decision of making a substitution midway through the first half. It was decided that Sanchez Watt’s services were surplus to requirements this evening, as it quickly became apparent that Leeds would have little opportunity to attack. In his place came Bradley Johnson to add some much needed strength and power to the Leeds United midfield – it seemed unlikely that we’d be able to outclass Leicester, so Simon Grayson’s decision to try and out-muscle them wasn’t without reason. Unfortunately, the change did little to halt Leicester’s progress and despite a goalless scoreline at half-time, it was only a matter of time before they took the lead. The problem was that Leeds quickly surrendered home advantage and allowed Leicester to control the game. Eriksson’s side were so dominant, that at the interval the possession must have been around 70-30 in their favour. Taking my rose-tinted spectacles off for a second, it really was impressive to see the impact Sven Goren Eriksson had made in only a few days in charge. The team that started the game 22nd in the Championship and with the worst away defensive record in the league had clearly been replaced by Brazil! It took 64 minutes for Leicester to make their dominance count when a long-range strike deflected off Neill Collins to leave the on-loan Brown stranded. Whilst the goal was certainly fortuitous, it was nothing less than Leicester deserved – in truth, they could have (should have) been at least four up by that point and Leeds had been lucky to hang on. The second goal followed on 80 minutes when King capitalised on a Leeds United defensive error (no shocks there, I know) to play in Howard who made it 2-0. The second goal was the cue to evacuate the stadium for the home fans, but just as they did Luciano Becchio gave us a brief moment of hope. Substitute Max Gradel had brought a little spark into the Leeds team and it was his cross that set Becchio up for a headed finish. 2-1 There was a few attacks from Leeds as the minutes dwindled away, but in truth we got exactly what we deserved. Leicester’s passing was dizzying at times and Leeds United had no response. Not a single player can be singled out for praise tonight, as every one of them was outclassed by the opposition. The most disappointing player was Amdy Faye – not because he was any worse than the rest, but because his display was nothing compared to the one he gave at Middlesbrough. I’m left questioning whether he was fully fit following his absence from training Monday and the knock he picked up at the Riverside? Overall, we can have no complaints because the best team definitely won. The transformation to Leicester may have caught us a little off-guard, but that can be no excuse for a truly woeful performance on home soil. Back to the drawing board for Larry then. On and on…
mancunianfox Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 Up the football league we go. Hold on to your hats! We can still do this

thybluefox Posted 19 October 2010 Posted 19 October 2010 Easy now kids.....yes its been 7 points out of 9 (3 wins and a draw if you want to count the international...) since Sousa has gone, and tonight was undoubtedly a very impressive performance, but do you remember Coventry away, or Cardiff at home? Lets see a little consistency before we decide we're out of the woods.
