Time for the Turnaround

It's been a rotten year so far for my beloved Leeds United. But every match brings the promise of a turnaround. This afternoon, we head to Bristol City, who are very much in the thick of the playoff race. It'll be a tough lift for us, but I hope that we can get a result for the new gaffer Paul Heckingbottom. Come on, you Whites (or whatever color we're playing in today)!

Oh - and Spurs face Rochdale in the Cup....

I slept in through the early one in the Championship, where Norwich and Ipswich shared a goal a piece in the East Anglian derby.

Going into this afternoon's match, Leeds are 13th on 44 points from 31 matches. Bristol City are in that last playoff spot. A win for us would catapult us back up to 10th.

Good morning, Bob. It was great to sleep in. Went to bed early and woke up late, so I'm really well rested. How about you?

How do you feel about the draw for United against Brighton in the quarters?

10:32 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

First up, it's the most romantic tie of the FA Cup 5th Round. It has a bit of everything, this, doesn’t it? Rochdale, bottom of League One, take on a Spurs team that is absolutely flying. There’s been some hustle and bustle about the pitch at Spotland, freshly relaid as it happens, but we’re all set now and Tottenham cannot say they haven’t been warned in their cup run so far.

10:43 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The teams gathering in the tunnel at Rochdale:

Rochdale: Lillis, Rafferty, McNulty, McGahey, Humphrys, Camps, Done, Delaney, Cannon, Kitching, Henderson. Subs: Ntlhe, Rathbone, Thompson, Inman, Davies, Moore, Adshead.

Tottenham: Vorm, Trippier, Alderweireld, Foyth, Rose, Wanyama, Winks, Sissoko, Lucas, Son, Llorente. Subs: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Walker-Peters, Dier, Alli, Lamela, Kane.

10:51 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Not surprisingly, HK is safely on the bench today. Fernando Llorente leads the line. Honestly, if it were up to me, I'd wrap HK in cotton wool until the World Cup starts.

Lucas Moura makes his Tottenham debut - I'll bet he never dreamed that it would be at Spotland, though. LOL!

10:52 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Two notable names on Rochdale’s bench. Joe Thompson has recovered from cancer twice; his is a remarkable achievement to be back here today and it would be wonderful to see him come on. Daniel Adshead is just 16, and still at school.

10:56 AM

LOL, Indeed. Rochdale is reality check for anyone new to the English game. If you want to know anything about old -fashioned Britain then Rochdale is the place to be.

I'm right on it, mate. As always, I'm hopeful that this will be the start of the turnaround.

11:03 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

First test for the Rochdale defense as Lucas Mora showed some trickery. Nice crossfield pass to Number One Son, but tackled as he was about to shoot.

11:03 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Clumsy as usual by Wanyama. Concedes a stupid free kick.

11:04 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The winners of this tie get a quarter final against either Swansea or Not a Big Club.

11:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That was wasted. Rochdale's best chances will come from set pieces, so they will need to do better than that.

11:05 AM

To answer your question, I'm happy with the draw. It's a repeat of the 1983 Cup Final.

11:06 AM

Lucas Mora goes on a solo run and picks up a cheap free kick

11:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

This pitch is in much better condition than Rodney Parade, the Rodney Dangerfield of pitches!

11:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Spuds game plan is to ware down Rochdale . They're hanging on , so expect goals in the second half.

11:10 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The pitch looks fast and a bit slippery, but it’s the same for both. Decent start for the Dale.

11:11 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That looked like a promising move for the Spuds until the Llorente Express was guilty of poor ball control. Could have been the lead.

11:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Then a long teasing cross is headed out by Trippier for a Rochdale corner.

11:13 AM

Mora hard to dispossess then fouled by Delaney

11:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Toby heads the free kick straight to Josh Lillis in the Rochdale goal.

11:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Appeals for a Rochdale penalty as Toby fell. Was it hand ball? I think the L1 side have a case.

11:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Camps called for a hand ball off a clearance from Wanyama . That was less a hand ball than the spot kick decision

11:17 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I do, too, mate - Spurs got a break there from Bobby Madeley.

11:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agricultural by Delaney on Harry Winks. Just a lecture from Bobby Madley.

11:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Henderson straight at Worm as Wanyama coughed up possession deep in the Spuds half.

11:18 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Henderson burst into the area and got a shot off eventually. Straight into Vorm's arms, sadly. The Dale giving it a go, though.

11:19 AM

Number One Son has a shot blocked for a corner as he got a long ball and turned a defender.

WOW!! Josh Lillis does well to block from Number One Son. The SPuds kept possession., Then LLorente tried to get the perfect shot half and ended up shooting wide through a sea of blue Jerseys. Should have scored.

HI Boys,
I am here for a bit before we go off the the NYS Museum

Ipswich scored an 89th "winner" and then Norwich tied it up in the MADE UP FIVE added minutes
Both of them jump above Leeds and they kick off against Bristols.. not a result... just a bit of gossip!!

11:32 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH!!! Henderson beat the offside trap and shot wide with just Worm to beat. it was thanks to a slip from young Foyth and winning the ball off a Spuds long throw.,

Again the added minutes come into play

I was so against having a clock that tells you how much is left but I have changed my mind. I didn't like in college the clock showed we had no chance when the ball was in the wrong half with 5 seconds left. I have tried to think about what can be done. The clock shouldn't stop when the ball goes out of play but if a team takes an age get it in threaten and then stop the clock. A man goes down and physio has to come on, stop the clock. A substitution, stop the clock. All those moronic substitutions would end!. I was even thinking about taking a book from rugby. After the time is up, they keep playing until the ball goes out of play. The team winning gets the ball and just kicks it out and it is done. Football could do that.

10 minutes in at Elland Road... Leeds still have 11 on the field!!

The advantage of ESPN 3 is that I got to sleep in late and watched the replay of the last seven minutes of the match. It's great to feel well rested on a five day weekend. A little mini vacation then two and a half weeks before Spring Break.

12:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I just thought about the rugby link last week. I saw the 80 minute go up and they kept playing but as soon as England got the ball, the kicked it out of play and it was over
Football could do that
The time wasting for injuries and substitutions would stop. Teams could have as much time to score as they want as long as they keep possession. If there is a foul called for the team defending.. kick the ball out.. final whistle

12:01 PM

As much as we did not want the Spuds to score, credit for a well worked goal. A long Spuds clearance resulted in a bout of head tennis .

Rathbone , the former MUFC Academy player, fouls Danny Rose , the former LUFC Academy player just outside the Dale box. Bob will not be pleased.

If I'm right in my predictions, England have an easy run to the quarter-finals, where we would meet either Brazil on July 9 or Germany on July 10. I fear that's curtains for us.

The Cup can be cruel. Danny Rose passed to Lamela, whose shot deflected to Delle Alli Sandwich. He flopped easily under the challenge from McGeahy. Really sad.
