Emne: FA-cupkamp vs Sutton United @ Gander Green Lane, 29.01.2017 kl 15:00 på TV

[Promotion 2010]

4.runde i cupen går borte mot Sutton, 84 plasser under oss i ligasystemet!

Lagene møttes sist i en cupkamp i 1970. Rekorden på 14.000 tilskuere står fortsatt som den høyeste i Sutton Uniteds historie. Nå for tiden er kapasiteten på litt over 5.000.

Klubben har denne type kunstgress som også finnes på Thorp Arch. Så får vi se om noen av spillerne Monk sparer er de med litt skjøre knær. Det er veldig annerledes å spille på kunstgress!!

Skummel kamp men håper og tror vi har vokst som lag og tar dette lett 3-0.

Blir spennende å se om Sutton beholder 11 mann på banen. Denne Jamie Collins virker som litt av en fargeklatt.

Hva er det med ex-Liverpool-spillere og Leeds Utd for tiden??? 
I går Robbie Fowler (ok, han er på sett og vis ex-Leeds også).
I dag Stan Collymore.

Begge er ganske lik i uttalelsene sine også: Massimo has gone quiet, Monk er en bra mann!


Garry Monk is awaking Leeds United from their slumber after more than a decade in the wilderness
ByStan Collymore  08:03, 29 JAN 2017
Leeds are flying high in the Championship and a return to the Premier League is very much on the cards

Garry Monk isn’t one of the brown-brogued brigade of ­football managers.
You know the sort – who speak ­endlessly about “philosophy” and end up losing matches in search of a ­non-existent Holy Grail.

He’s soft-spoken, a thinker – and a man who has cut through what needed to be done at Leeds United very quickly.
It’s an oil-tanker of a football club that might not have been heading towards the rocks – but the rudder was ­certainly stuck in one direction – and it was going in circles.
Monk clearly understood the ­dressing room he inherited and has identified with that.

He’s applied the simple basics of Championship football – clean sheets, hard work and a bloke up front in Chris Wood, who knows where the net is.
That’s the “philosophy” you need, if you want to make it to the Premier League.
And Leeds United is just awakening from a slumber – ­giving us all a glimpse once more of the force it could be in English football.


I’ve seen the Whites twice this season. I like Pontus ­Jansson at the back, Monk knows centre-half Kyle Bartley from his days at Swansea.
Liam Bridcutt is honest and Souleyman Doukara is a powerful force in the heart of Leeds’ engine-room.
Just for a change, it’s all systems go at Elland Road.

There’s no gossip about Massimo Cellino’s latest stunt. Ownership issues have been sorted out. The fans aren’t being marginalised by sky-high ticket prices and the players appear to be ­singing off the same hymn-sheet.
It’s a potent mix. Contrast this with Nottingham Forest – where I went last week. The crowd at the City Ground was flat, there’s a moany atmosphere, the owner is getting it in the neck from the punters.
There’s none of that at Leeds – the club is on the way back.
Obviously, the eyes of the football world will be on them today to see if Gander Green Lane will play host to another FA Cup upset.
Obviously, it won’t be on the same scale as when Colchester United ­famously killed a true footballing giant in the early 70s.

Defeat at Sutton should not derail Leeds. But it may knock their ­confidence, placing a seed of doubt in players’ minds.
I played against Shrewsbury and Rochdale in cup competitions for Liverpool – and I was more nervous against them than ever I was pulling on that red shirt when Manchester United were in town.
Those matches take care of ­themselves. And every manager and player knows it.
But lose in the cup competition and it could have a negative effect – and that’s why Monk needs to tell his players to forget surroundings and to treat this as they would any Championship fixture.
It really does depend on the manner in which Leeds United approach this.

If they are in the zone after 25 minutes, Monk won’t need to worry. He should be able to tell by then how the match is going to pan out.
It’s not a must-not-lose. It’s not even a must-win.
But Leeds United have a good thing going at the moment. It would be typical of the club of old to allow nerves to creep in and make it a difficult afternoon.
The chemistry is working at Leeds United at the moment.

As per the club anthem, the Whites are Marching on Together and, if they can negotiate this banana-skin safely, there’s no reason why it should not lead them back into the promised land.

I går Robbie Fowler (ok, han er på sett og vis ex-Leeds også).
I dag Stan Collymore.

...bare for å samle de: Her er Robbie:

I don't know Garry Monk , but it turns out I did introduce myself to him rather rudely when we first met.
It was back in 1999 when he was a kid at Southampton, hoping to carve out a Premier League career.

I genuinely don’t remember – really sorry about that, Garry! – but apparently he was marking me that day at Anfield and I happened to score a hat-trick in 25 minutes.
We won 7-1 and I don’t think he played many more times for Saints after that, though I’m pretty sure I can’t take the blame for that one.
I should really thank him because my second that day was also my 100th league goal – it was pretty generous of him and the ­Southampton defence to help me to that landmark.

I’m going to thank him more ­seriously, though, for helping put my old club Leeds back into the sporting headlines where they belong, and not in the news columns where the antics of co-owner Massimo Cellino catapulted them so regularly.
A few Leeds fans still have mixed feelings about the way I left Elland Road because of problems surrounding my wages, but most know that was not down to me.
And most know that I think Leeds are a fantastic club who deserve to be in the Premier League because of such passionate, loyal support.

Just look at the crowds they get, even after dropping down the leagues. Even when they’ve been through the worst of times.
I loved my time there.
We had a brilliant, gifted ­British-based team with a hell of a spirit and ­camaraderie. It was such a shame that group was broken up because of the financial problems that beset the club.

I remember going top on New Year’s Day in 2002. We had the quality to win the league – no doubt about that – but it kind of drifted away and just didn’t happen for us.
Yet, what stayed with me was the support. The noise was always ­deafening and the fans always committed.
The stadium was always sold out and, even when things turned against us, they never stopped coming or stopped believing.
I don’t care whether people think other clubs deserve to be in the Premier League, but I KNOW Leeds do – and, in Garry Monk, they have the perfect man to take them there.
He did well at Swansea, but it could have been the end of the line when he didn’t immediately get another job.

Leeds boss Garry Monk will NOT be handed bumper transfer kitty
Some people said it smacked of desperation to accept a job under Cellino, but it has worked out because now we can see the talent he has.
I’m truly happy for him. He has shown real coaching skill in setting Leeds up right, and managerial talent in producing a togetherness within his squad and a belief they can win games.
Now, the Leeds fans are talking about Monk and his team – not talking about the owner. And I believe they can go up this season.
Of course, Cellino isn’t just going to go away. If they go up, it won’t be the last we hear of him because it’s clear he doesn’t want to sell until the money is right.

 
Yet, a club the size of Leeds in the Premier League would surely attract other investors.
They have a history and a support that is bigger than most English clubs, and an entire city right behind them. If Cellini ­exercises his option to buy back Elland Road, it would be even more attractive.
Monk, as an innovative young manager, would also be an attraction.
He deserves his chance and he deserves promotion too.
It would be some irony if it was at the expense of Swansea.

Leeds have a tricky game at Sutton in the FA Cup today and it will be made even trickier by the focus on promotion because he’ll want to rest some key players.
But even if they slip up, I don’t think a single fan would blame Monk – if he went on to deliver promotion to the Premier League.
Given what he inherited at Elland Road, that would be some feat.

Det som slår meg etter å ha lest disse to "epistlene", er at Fowler ikke kan la være å skryte av seg selv til journalisten.

Collymore setter Monk og Leeds i fokus, ikke seg selv.

[auren]

Bartley, Jansson, Pablo og Wood utelatt fra troppen! Mckay og Wilks starter visst. Masse endringer ventet. Dette i følge Hay. Tror det kommer til å bli en svært jevn kamp. Blir vel fort:

Silvestri, Coyle, Ayling, McKay, Berardi, Phillips, O'Kane, Dallas, Roofe, Wilks - Antonsson

Mon ikke Denton starter?

[Hallgeir *]

Flere store klubber røk ut i går. Sannsynligvis fordi squad-players og unggutter fikk sjansen, eller at cupen nedprioriteres.

Leeds kan bli neste klubb på den listen. Jeg liker ikke helt at benken sannsynligvis vil mangle matchvinnere vi kan sette inn, dersom vi kommer under.

[RoarG]

Slår ikke et halvt A-lag et non-league lag som Sutton, må man stille store spørsmålstegn til kvaliteten på stallen til Leeds. Bør forvente en storm fra hjemmelaget første 25-30 minutter. Har vi unngått innslupne mål til da, tror jeg at kvalitetsforskjellen viser seg til slutt. Et råtips vil være 3-1 eller 4-1 til Leeds.

Over hodet ikke uenig i det, men jeg kan tenke meg hvordan fansen i Liverpool og Newcastle har det akkurat nå. Det er skikkelig kleint å bli slått ut av et lag som man burde slå 20 av 20 ganger. Husker med gru flausen mot Histon.

For meg virker det ganske unødvendig å gjøre seg så sårbar med vilje. Jeg skjønner jo at ligaen må prioriteres, men det går en grense på hvor naiv man kan være.

Sånn tenker i alle fall jeg.

Hvorfor ingen lagoppstilling enda??

Det er faktisk bortekamp mot Blackburn allerede på onsdag, og jeg forstår Monks behov for å spare de viktigste spillerne.

Kun Doukara som spiller noenlunde ofte på dette laget. Kan bli tap med dette laget, men i og med divisjonsforskjellen. Ja da bør det holde

Startoppstillingen er såpass svak at jeg tror vi skal få problemer med å vinne denne kampen.
