2nd half we were much brighter Scanz, as above, had a chance i didnt see the pull back but he connected with his left foot and we had more of the ball in crazy energy sapping heat, christ I must have dropped a stone watching.

Wells poached a loose ball in the box in true striker fashion, him dropping deep or out wide or challengine 2x 6' centre halfs isnt his game but I like the way he just gets on with and gives his all, yes he might be light weight but play the ball to him or in front of him and at this level he's a handful, he needs a target man taking the knocks to give space and chances.

Seen the goals now and yes 90 mins+ panic centre half defending gave their chap a simple knock down and time to ram it past Murphy who had saved on 89 mins superbly the 25 yarder flying to his top left, hoped that was good enough to notch us a win on the road.

Support I thought 1200, very vocal very supportive, give me 1200 there to back the team anyday V 2700 on a jolly boys outing like last season.  I had to sit in the overspill area as my seat was taken, it was the stewarding (from my view)  that antagonised a lot, they allowed about a dozen seats in the first half but then pushed back at HT allowing just 4 seats free leaving many of the same group stood in the aisles and the stewards didnt seem to want to move them nor direct them elesewhere.  We saw what happened at Millwall last year when Russ was invited to leave early for persistent standing, difficult one as yes many have had a skinful since the early morning train and tend to be in small tight groups of mates.

The McCormack (could be any ex Leeds player) Y baiting will always be there, RM rubbed it in our noses at Bellend Road during the 4-1 drubbing and the Jimmy Saville chant is just something town fans can throw at leeds without any comeback currently, that will blow over, so I'd lighten up a little and keep your ink dry ELT.

So  a good point on the road in barmy 90 C temperatures where we were gallantly defeated last term.
Some lads were saying they'd met a group off Villa fans were commenting that Town fans seemed to be allover London, on their trains from Mancs thru the midlands, perhaps they thought we had 3000 following the team today.

Sloppy, both stewarding and crowd behaviour did nothing to solve the issue, I saw no aggression from any steward, I was sat down in the ticket I had bought and was right next to where all of it took place, their actions may have been daft to move town fans at half time but some of the behaviour towards them was downright appalling. A player gives you a bit of stick because he's getting abused all game and you call him a paedo and make a racial slur at him all game? Do me a favour, we're not in 1984 anymore. Come up with something witty, not tarnish our club with that reputation. I'll lighten up when I hear a chant worthy of wit or something approaching it. We're normally good at that. Clearly we reverted to Neanderthal language yesterday. I'm glad I didn't grow up during the 80s when some of those 50 year olds were 20 year olds, God knows what we chanted at Leeds fans then and I'm disappointed more town fans haven't spoken up about this post-match.
