Just as I was saying I want more good, strong challenges Histon are allowed a free unchallenged header from a corner :rolleyes:

Wow, the magic of the cup and all that!

Nothing but the magic of an awful ground in my opinion, if this was at the Elland road it would be a TOTALLY different game and far in favour of Leeds in my opinion

but then again I can't prove that so just have to live with the awful scoreline and the sodding rainy camera which is driving me nuts :(
 
That might well be true, but that's what provides this kind of atmosphere and this kind of tie. The fact that league clubs do need to adjust to non-league conditions and grounds.

In fairness the pitch looks very good.

I think one of Leeds biggest downfalls of being in league 1 and below has got to be the pitches they play on, the Leeds ground is so well kept and huge that compared to anything else below them its like playing a totally different game away from home

Or am I just talking testicles?

Testicles imo, we may have a poxy temporary ground but we've got one of the best pitches in the league (ironically, is because the groundsman can get his tractor round the running track). Plus football is still football, I agree that the Histon pitch is about my as good as my local park but it's the same for both teams.

Its not like Leeds don't know the quality of the opposition and grounds before they get there, they've probably scouted it out more than once so should be well prepared.

Clubs like Leicester, Millwall, MK Dons, Huddersfield et al all have decent pitches and stadia (you can include Nottingham Forest and Donny in that as they'll be back down next year!)

And FWIW, go Histon!

If Robinson has to go off it might well be a good move to switch Snodgrass out there and get Showunmi on.

I said that at the top of the match. Daft to start the way we did.
 
Marques needs to be very careful.

I think I'd take Delph off at this point and put in someone a bit stronger. Delph is a fantastic player but he's a bit too light for this.

[edit]They've brought off Hughes for Howson. I certainly wouldn't have done that :confused: Howson isn't a bad move but I think I'd want Hughes on.
 
Oh god. It's not going to be our day is it?

Hopefully fitness will tell from now. That's a heavy pitch.
 
That's rubbish. Must hit the target from there.

Few histon players look to be struggling with cramp.
