p_mards 1,365 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 If we manage to win our next two home games v Burnley and Reading then the play offs won't look as impossible as they do now. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dekker Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Interesting set of results under Karanka. Lost to form side Derby away with 10 men and a last minute goal. Near the same at Leeds. Beat Bokton who were the form side and won at Millwall who had not lost at home in seven games. Nearly won at Brum bar a last minute equaliser and lost at home to Brighton to a last minute goal from a corner. None of the games were a disaster and with a bit more discipline we could be four or five point better off. Now stats are stats, but things are beginning to turn. We could beat both Burnley and Reading - we probably won't - but who knows. Got to go back to the family now, then midnight mass. Hopefully the big man upstairs will hear our prayers. My guess is 1:1 with Burnley Link to post Share on other sites

It only takes a semi decent run to make up that gap. Link to post Share on other sites

southern softy 10 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I really hope that Ledesma starts tomorrow. When I've seen him play (which admittedly is not often) he has appeared to give 100% percent. He also looks so disappointed when he makes a mistake. An unusual commodity these days. IMO. A footballer that wears his heart on his sleeve. I think with confidence and the opportunity to stake his claim in Karankas line up he will make a big impact for us next year. He will certainly score more goals and provide more assists than the not so marvelous Marvin. Link to post Share on other sites

He will certainly score more goals and provide more assists than the not so marvelous Marvin. I agree he has the right attitude. There's a comment Mowbray made about him in the gazette which has always ensured I've had a good opinion about ledesma, which is that he's always the last off the training pitch and stayed behind late to do extra training and fitness practice. That for me shows that he's a true professional who always wants to be on top of his game and genuinely cares about how he plays. I admire the guy's attitude, and I really hope that he can show us that he can consistently play to the standard he did against millwall. He can spot passes that no one else can. Don't think anyone else has picked out any passes like he did to set up adomah against millwall this season. I see adomah and carayol make runs like this game in, game out, and no one ever slots the ball through to them. He has the vision and the capability to do it, and hopefully he'll learn to on a regular basis. If he could, he'd be one of our biggest assets. Link to post Share on other sites
Block53 12 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Gibson spoke highly of Ledesma in that fan meeting in the spring. "Would play for free" etc Link to post Share on other sites
