Queens Park Rangers v Leeds United Your Report added by Geoff78 at 18:46:35 What a night! It truly was such a night! I was thinking, naive fool that I am, that maybe playing Sheffield Wednesday the hand brake would come off and we'd score a hatful, well maybe 3 or more likely 2. Even though we can't score goals it still seemed possible that if the stars and referee aligned we'd manage one very good result. Last night was it.
Enough had been said already but a couple of thoughts. Jimmy Dunne more than held his own against one of the trickiest players in this league. Maybe he really is a right back. Willock played as if he really enjoyed it and no worries about his hamstring. Marti has rebuilt his confidence. Paal a bit below par recently played his full back/overlapping winger/extra midfielder role really well. More evidence that Marti is a genius.
It has to be said Leeds were poor from the off and soon looked shaky. They gave the ball away and gave silly fouls way all evening. Even when they did get their game together Begovic was at his best. The ref probably favoured us a little, not something you can often say. Certainly he penalised most of Leeds' rough stuff as well as Colback's contractual requirement to pick up a yellow every game.
The whole team played well. Just one word: Brilliant!
Got to say I'm surprised Dozzell came second in GOTS - great goal, but I couldn't bring myself to vote for him. I think Dunne's must have got about 95% of the vote, surely.
BUT, different award. What was the most *important* goal of the season? I think there's a few candidates:
1. Dykes v Stoke. 2-1 down, Stoke with 10 men, atmosphere flat. Out of nowhere Dykes chests and volleys in and brings us back from the brink.
2. Goblin boy og v Stoke. It's now 2-2 and the crowd is remiscent of the famous 3-2 v Liverpool. Larkeche, in his biggest contribution of the season, chases a ball down like a man possessed and forces the winner. Willock the cherry on top soon after, which signalled the start of his own renaissance.
3. Paal v Huddersfield. 1-0 down. A deeply depressing game and a horrible performance. Paal, I think at the time our top scorer, knees one in and rescues a point. Felt like not much at the time but a few said how important it might be. Looking at the table today, it was absolutely crucial.
4. Field v WBA. 2-1 down despite absolutely destroying WBA for the entire match. Penalty missed, shots cleared off the line by bodies and fists. Had we lost that, what effect might it have had? Playing really as well as we can (at least until last night) and still losing. But Fieldy forced a vital and richly deserved equaliser.
5. Dunne v Birmingham. Probably it's a double for Dunney. Not quite a must win game, certainly a mustn't lose, but this goal of the season was huge for more than one reason. Scary to look at the table without this goal.
6. Dykes v Preston. Our forwards hadn't scored for weeks. We'd picked the wrong time to lose a bit of form. We'd just lost 3-0. Someone had to step up, and Dykes did it, with an assist from Woodman. A big, big goal in a game we had to win.
I guess Dunne will win this, but how about your top 3?
obviously the leeds 4-0 game tops the list.....never see that coming
millwall at home 2-0....just complete satisfaction looking at their smug faces slowly disintergrate into anger...they were so sure they were gonna beat us that day... cardiff away..2-1..after the 4-0 defeat to watford the week before, i thought we might, just might have something there, how wrong was i.
anyone got any other favourites whether attended or watched on the box.
When trying to analyse the reasons we turned this season around, it is important not to underestimate the Jimmy Dunne effect. Of course appointing MC was the true catalyst, and it must have been his choice to transform our struggling, sluggish, error prone centre half into a joyously rampaging full back. But the way that Jimmy responded to that was incredible and invaluable. His spirit, his drive, his fearless, skilful runs and of course That Goal, have been transformational. Even on the bad days he never gave in, and he seemed to raise the spirits of fans and fellow players alike. Just seeing the big man giving everything was to believe that we could and would be better, and he might be my personal player of the year. Love that man.
Guessing there isn't going to be a huge hankering for these anymore, but if anyone wants to go and couldn't get hold of any tickets originally, PM me as got 2 adult tickets and not going now.
Were £37 each but happy to knock a few quid off for a good home. I would have to post them to you as physical tickets.
