KAMP: vs. Hartlepool 8/9

[Lids]

Herlig med nok en seier vel i havn, og takk til våre to fantastiske målscorere - uten de hadde vi nok slitt litt mer.

Leser at Wise`y er misfornøyd med kampen igår,men fornøyd med 3 poeng og enkelte gode prestasjoner.
Er sikker på at vi fremdeles har litt å gå på når det gjelder det spillemessige,men 3 poeng på en dårlig dag er noe som kjennetegner et topplag(vel og merke i div.3.da)

Uansett,Beckford og Kandol ser ut til å være kapable til å sikre oss maaaaaaange poeng utover sesongen.


1 4 all and all 4 1

Becks mål var virkelig som Tony Morentica på YR utropte: "A beauty!!"

...er dette en lettere omskriving av Alamo Rent-a-car []

For øvrig rapporteres det at Norman Hunter (som trakk seg fra kommenteringen i YR ved pause) følte seg dårlig og ble kjørt hjem.

Får satse på at det gikk bra...

Beckford stars as Leeds march on
Leeds 2 Hartlepool 0

LEEDS UNITED’S match programme boldly carries their version of the “real’ League One table, which sees their team sitting firmly at the top with a 100% record. To the rest of the football world yesterday’s fifth successive win merely kept them anchored at the bottom.
But what isn’t open to debate is that Leeds are on the move, and this time in an upward direction with the 15-point penalty imposed by the Football League on the eve of the new season already wiped out.
Their best start to a season since winning the original League Championship in 1973-74 must be considered against the fact that they have never previously played at as low a level as this, but so far they have done all they can to try and make amends. Accordingly a season’s best crowd of 26,877 saw Leeds continue their winning run against a Hartlepool team that is also unrecognisable from some of its predecessors. When Leeds were launching a run of three consecutive top-four finishes in the Premier League eight years ago, Hartlepool avoided relegation to the Conference by a single place.
Now under the guidance of Danny Wilson and revitalised by Norwegian oil money, they are looking to build on last season’s promotion and in all but one area were a match for Leeds in their first ever league meeting. Yet while Richie Barker and James Brown were thwarted by the woodwork and countless other chances went astray, Leeds were razor-sharp from far fewer attacks with goals from Tresor Kandol and, with a brilliant finish, Jermaine Beckford.
The fact that Leeds were even playing on a day of international fixtures reflected their continued fall from grace as only one of their senior players was required by his country. But the absence of Jonathan Douglas, and his injured midfield partner Alan Thompson, did not appear to inhibit the home side too greatly as they took an 18th-minute lead through Kandol. The striker once endured an unhappy loan spell with Hartlepool’s neighbours Darlington, was again very much in the right place at the right time to head his fourth goal of the season from Frazer Richardson’s deep cross.
The pace of Leeds’s front line at times threatened to swamp Hartlepool but to their credit they clung on and hit back strongly before half-time, Richie Barker heading a Robbie Elliott free-kick against the underside of the bar. The benefit of the doubt was given to goalkeeper Casper Ankergren, who moments later beat away a fierce drive from Godwin Antwi.
However, any hopes Hartlepool had of extending their own winning run to four league games were seemingly ended just four minutes into the second half when Leeds doubled their lead thanks to a stunning goal from Beckford, controling Seb Carole’s long pass and beating towering goalkeeper Jan Budtz with a measured, angled chip.

Leeds United 2 Hartlepool United 0
LEEDS UNITED recorded a fifth consecutive victory against Hartlepool United at Elland Road today to wipe out the 15 point penalty imposed by the Football League.

Goals from Tresor Kandol (18) and Jermaine Beckford (49) secured all three points but Hartlepool were unlucky losers after enjoying long periods on top.
Just under 27,000 supporters attended the game which leaves Leeds on zero points at the bottom of the League One table but with their sights firmly focused on a promotion push.
With Jonathan Douglas away on international duty for the Republic of Ireland and Alan Thompson ruled out with a groin injury, Leeds manager Dennis Wise was forced to make two changes from the side that had won last weekend against Luton Town.
On loan defender James Clapham was recalled at leftback with Andrew Hughes pushed into the centre of midfield alongside teenager Jonathan Howson, who replaced Douglas.
The game, the first league meeting between the two clubs, was preceeded by a minute's applause in memory of charity fundraiser Jane Tomlinson.
Leeds might have gone behind after five minutes but Hartlepool winger James Brown shot over after Ankergren failed to punch away a near post corner.
Leeds improved quickly and took the lead on 18 minutes when Tresor Kandol rose to head home a far post cross from Frazer Richardson.
But Hartlepool, who had won three of their first four games, were no pushovers. Striker Richard Barker thought he had levelled when a header struck the crossbar and bounced down on the line but Ankergren grabbed the ball and the referee waved play on.
Ankergren made another good save moments later to block a driven effort from Godwin Antwi as Hartlepool kept up the pressure.
Leeds grabbed a glorious second goal, against the run of play, four minutes after the break..
Beckford showed great technique to bring down a long ball from Carole before instinctively lifting a shot over Hartlepool goalkeeper Jan Budtz from 25 yards.
Leeds stood firm and also rode their luck as Hartlepool refused to give up the chase.
A deflected header from Brown bounced back off the post and both Ian Moore and Andy Monkhouse blew golden opportunities during a goalmouth scramble..
Clapham and Howson both cleared off the line in the closing stages as Hartlepool's afternoon ended in frustration

Leeds United wipe out deficit
THIRTY-ONE days have passed since the Football League removed Dennis Wise's arms, legs and more painful particulars, but Leeds United's manager is now in possession of the surgeon's knife.
The dismemberment of Leeds was intended as a warning of how dimly the Football League views insolvency, and it was unclear before the start of the season whether United's heart remained intact.
The answer came emphatically yesterday as the club's 15-point penalty was butchered beyond recognition.
When the League imposed their stringent punishment 48 hours before the season started, September 8th was the earliest date at which Leeds could hope to wipe the deficit clear.
Even in his most ambitious dreams, Wise would not have dared to imagine that United's hastily-constructed squad would strike that target.
But after a 2-0 victory over Hartlepool United, their fifth successive league victory, September 8 will be remembered as the date when Leeds return to zero points and normality returned to Elland Road.
Leeds' sequence of form is their best since 1973, and perhaps the most timely they have ever had.
The run called on a generous slice of fortune to remain intact yesterday, but United in their present mood seem impossible to obstruct.
Hartlepool hit the woodwork three times and saw at least five efforts cleared off the line as they ran Leeds ragged after half-time.
Danny Wilson's players are not the first group to bemoan United's charmed existence this season, but it is hardly reasonable to begrudge Wise's his renaissance. It is not so long since the extent of his fortune was bad luck and no luck.
Goals from Tresor Kandol and Jermaine Beckford secured yesterday's victory, the latter's a precise chip of outstanding quality which deserved to settle the match.
Hartlepool fell behind midway through the first half and were 2-0 down immediately after half time, but their spirit was commendable, and their performance superior to that of Leeds.
It seems likely that Wilson's players will be among the League One sides who make a sustained challenge for promotion, and though Wise would not admit it, he knows Leeds are also in that number.
Kandol has been irrepressible since discovering a vein of confidence during the summer, and his fourth goal of the season gave United the lead in the 18th minute.
Jonathan Howson picked out Frazer Richardson on the right wing with an intelligent pass from in front of Hartlepool's box, and Richardson's deep cross was headed home at the far post by Kandol.
The striker is becoming the talisman of United's recovery. He was weighed down by a lack of belief and constant criticism last season, but there is no player more certain of a place in Wise's line-up.
His finish was as simple as it was emphatic, and a reliable source of goals was a fundamental necessity for Wise as he assessed the damage caused by relegation in May.
United were worth their lead, but only just.
The tone of the match before Kandol's goal seemed to point to a comfortable afternoon for Leeds, and Hartlepool had been spared in the 10th minute when Sebastien Carole volleyed a delivery from Richardson over the Jan Budtz's crossbar.
But Wilson will have been mystified by his side's period of pressure midway through the first half which saw Leeds' defence creak to the point of collapse.
Hartlepool's manager had watched James Brown scoop the game's first chance into the Kop after Richardson and Casper Ankergren prevented each other from clearing Robbie Elliott's corner in the fifth minute, and an equaliser seemed certain to come when the visitors came to life after half an hour.
Richie Barker appeared to have beaten Ankergren with a 31st-minute header from Robbie Elliott's free-kick, but the ball caught the underside of the bar and allowed Ankergren to clasp it desperately on the line. The Dane then parried a 25-yard strike from Godwin Antwi, but his fallibility in the air threatened to undo his influential performance.
A replica of Brown's early chance fell to Barker when Ankergren punched a corner into the striker's path, but Barker's overhead kick flashed wide of the post, and Andy Monkhouse headed a good opportunity across goal after Ankergren was dragged out of position by another deep cross.
For all the keeper's outstanding reactions, his lack of presence unsettled Wise's side.
United's boss was forced to alter both his defence and midfield before kick-off after losing Jonathan Douglas to the Republic of Ireland's squad, and captain Alan Thompson to a slight groin strain.
In Thompson's absence, Andrew Hughes took hold of both the armband and a position in the centre of midfield, and his contribution was impressively dynamic.
But Wise's midfield has looked short of a certain something this season, and yesterday's experiment with Hughes and Jonathan Howson at the heart of proceedings did not resolve those concerns.
But just as a nervous second half seemed in order, Beckford added a second goal with a sublime finish in the 49th minute.
Hartlepool centre-back Michael Nelson misjudged a long pass from Carole, and Beckford brought the ball under control with a wonderful touch. The striker edged into space and beat Budtz from outside the box with the most perfect of lobs.
The goal gave United space to breathe, but Wise's side seem addicted to the hard life. Leeds soaked up pressure throughout the second period but were too willing to allow Hartlepool to dominate; as comfortable as the scoreline seemed, United's victory would have been seriously threatened had another spell of chaos inspired by Hartlepool produced a goal shortly after the hour.
Brown sparked an onslaught when his deflected shot sailed over Ankergren and rebounded off the post and Barker headed the rebound wide.
As Hartlepool pressed forward again, Ian Moore, Leeds former striker, clipped the outside of the post from a yard out, then Monkhouse flashed another chance wide.
Late headers from Barker and Antwi were then cleared off United's line, summing up Hartlepool's unfortunate afternoon.

Jeg la merke til at våre bytter kom svært seint i denne kampen. 83. og 90. minutt. Da må karene ha greid seg bra, eller de på benken ha lite å bidra med!

Hvorfor velter kvalmen opp i meg når flere kaller Beckford for "Becks" ... usmakelig.
Det er (heldigvis) bare 1 Becks, og vi får finne på en annen forkortelse - "Jerms"?

Du, meg og alle de andre her på forumet kan kalle Jermaine det vi vil, men han vil nok fortsatt gå for Becks blant venner i Leeds United.
There is only one Becks and, it's not David!!!

"Jerms" var ikke akkurat det beste alternativet. Nå må vi huske på at "Becks" henter kallenavnet sitt fra det deilige øllet BECKS! Det er det jeg assosierer "Becks" med :-)

Ellers er vel "Jamma" et mulig kallenavn, men da begynner jeg å tenke på floppen Jamma Wright...

Hvor blir det av høydepunktene på lutv? Det stod en eller annen plass at de skulle være tilgjengelig fra mandag av.

[Sleivind]

Og nå er hvertfall høydepunktene lagt ut på lutv. Og at vi greier å holde nullen i denne kampen, kan vi takke Ankergren og høyere makter for. På en god Hartlepooldag så hadde de vel mest sannsynlig ha scort 3-4 og kanskje til og med 5 mål.

Det eneste vi kan ta med oss fra denne kampen er vel 3 poeng, for det virket hvertfall ikke som om det var mye godt spill, bortsett ifra scoringene.
