Leeds v Walsall Match Ratings

Stockport White · Leeds v Walsall Match Ratings

Casper 7 - Looked solid when called upon. Didn't have a lot to do which is good news, and a clean sheet for added bonus points.

Parker 7 - Another solid display from the left back, did well at the back and looked good going forward.

Telfer 7 - Led from the back well, Walsall didn't really get a sniff up front as he and Lubo looked strong throughou.

Lubo 7 - As above.

Richardson 7 - Another good display from Frazer, always has a better game when he gets to go forward more than he has to defend.

Howson 6 & 7 - Howson gets two ratings, a six for his performance when playing on the right and a 7 for when he moved into the middle, looked a different player when right in the mix of things, tackling, passing and making things happen.

Kilkenny 6 - Sideways football again from Killer, much like Tuesday, however we weren't creating the chances so he was pulled of for Robbo.

Douglas 8 - Great performance from Douglas, exactly what we've come to expect from him. Snuffed out any threat from Walsall's midfield, commanded the ball and was stong in the challenge.

Delph 9 - MOM performance again, this kid really does have everything and two top draw goals from him, the first was the pick of the bunch, poor lad was gutted when he was taken off just after sealing the win.

Beckford 7 - A quiet game in terms of chances for Becks, but he worked hard and was always trying to make some space and create chances for himself.

Becchio 8 - Again, the same as previous matches, we've come to expect it and he keeps delivering. Very hard working and bagged himself another goal.

Subs:

Robbo 8 - Changed the game when he came on, gave us the outlet we were craving in midfield and made things happen, must start in future games as we'd be out of sight by half time.

Prutton/Snoddy 6 - Not really on long enough to make significant impacts.

First half was slightly frustrating, but for once we got the early goal after half time, so many times I've seen it go to the opposition team. Walsall didn't look up to much, they either had an off day or they were just rubbish! Delph scored two crackers from a good 20 yard plus. The second half was one of the best I've seen and has got the confidence flowing again. Up to second, it's ours to hold onto. I said we needed 6 points from 6, we've got that and can hopefully pick up some points on our travels next week.

Agree with LM re: match ratings and report(or close enough)

we made Walsall look wank tbh, apart from a few(very few) chances from them, we dominated from start to finish imo. (had a drink though

)

Delph was correctly brought off imo, stand and applaud lady's and gentlemen hello1
