JfR Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 If last night's game was set up for Rowett to sort out his plan would probably have been to keep it level and try to do them on penalties, something we would likely have failed miserably at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 What highlights the difference for me, is the fact that away at Elland Road, we didn't try play defensive, we didn't hoof it. We took the game to them, and played them off the pitch with high tempo, brilliant football. It was amazing to watch a young side perform like that under so much pressure in a hostile environment. The seasons are incomparable for me, this has been miles better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 We were undeniably more direct last night and did play several very long forward passes. Define hoofball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 My lad said to me he felt more confident last night 1-0 down after the first leg than last year 1-0 up after the first leg. I did too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair i think the home defeat did us a favour to be honest as Lampard changed the formation and we went for it,had we won or even drawn at home we would of probably been set up differently and not were we are now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canary Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Thought the tables started to turn in the middle of the first half when Derby started to take the game to Leeds and play the game on the front foot. Not sure whether it was DLS bottling it or if it was FL's tactics but imo the victory was more than deserved- played far better than in the game at Pride Park too.

jono Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I wonder if some of it down to more youth in the team. Not so much walking in an old groove, baggage and cynicism ? Their “joyful awe” for want of a better phrase was infectious. It was always going to be tough but Marriots goal lit fires in bellies, first the young and then it spread. Thou shall not pass, this isn’t over. Lot of balls hanging out and confidence on the rise. Self belief is an incredible weapon Stiring stuff, it’s been a roller coaster but even if we lose at Wembley we have bonded with this team in an entirely different way. Did you hear the players singing the fans songs to each other. This really is the right stuff. .... one more dose at the big arch COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 We're now a team that don't know when they're beat. We're now a team that can unlock opposition defences, not just get shut out by a defensive wall. We're younger, fitter and better suited to a long arduous season. The wage bill is slimmer. We've had better coaching this year to the point that you can see players have improved over the course of the season i.e. Bogle, Bennett, Wilson, Holmes, Tomori, Roos We've got a manager who while is still learning, has a far more well rounded understanding of the game and is far more passionate about this club. We've broken the end of season slide curse. We finished strongly no matter what happens now. The curse is lifted. And the second most important one...we really really got under Leeds skin. They've been rattled all season by Frank Lampard's Derby County and we got the last laugh. The most important... ... ... We got to Wembley this time!

eddie Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 4 minutes ago, Tombo said: It's possible to make diamonds out of pencils? Yes. You just need a pressure of around 50,000 atmospheres and an enormous amount of heat (around 3000K). Natural diamonds are essentially carbon crystals, formed within the mantle and ejected during volcanic eruptions. Industrial diamonds are manufactured using a technique which mimics the natural process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
