Nice to see I've been missed
Been a tad busy with family (how did you guess Rev?), out in Cuba supposedly celebrating the wedding of our youngest, Irma did a right job on us on that. Fortunately no-one in the party was injured, but being evacuated from Varadero to Havana was a tad unnerving. Rivers replaced roads, and the Malecon was completely overwhelmed. Feel sorry for the people, who seem simply to get on with things and don't expect much in the way of help from outside (been here when Wilma went through and hit Mexico, same atmosphere, just get on and fix things the best you can).
Got back yesterday and thanks to all you good people
, have been able to catch up on things related to Leeds, how exciting! Haven't seen all the games, but as I did say before departing the likes of Saiz and Alioski have most definitely proved me wrong in terms of acclimatising (never said they were rubbish, just not experienced in the championship, prove me wrong on that?). Very impressed and with Lassogga too, although would like to see him having to work harder against a real defence.
Not going to get into an argument about the structures etc, time will tell if they benefit the club long term, but for now top of the Championship and unbeaten is a very good place to be.
Oh, just to finish off (I do have other things to attend to, honestly), the main reason we have clean sheets is a bloody good back four, and if it hadn't been for Ayling the faffing around from Wiedwald would have cost us a goal. And I saw some comment regarding the highlights of the Birmingham game that we saw a "save", err really? He fell on the ball when it was travelling at about zero miles an hour, my granddaughter could have done the same (and more elegantly too!). He doesn't command his area, he doesn't communicate well with the back four, who basically function independently of the keeper at the moment. He will be found out if (when) we get an attack who knows where the goal is (which Birmingham clearly didn't given the number of sitters that went begging). He needs to sharpen up in the box, come for the ball and make it clear he is doing so, WHEN NECESSARY, and do a little less arm waving.
Otherwise, all good! Toodle Pip
