I feel so sorry for Dan.
You just knew the scenario when James or Ampadu stepped up to take a penalty.
The poles were so accomplished with their penalties, I suspect they were quite content with the 0-0 result.

Not sure if anyone noticed Amps limping / walking gingerly after a challenge late in the game last night. He seemed to run it off……… but still a worry for me. Fingers crossed it is much ado about nothing.

On the channel I was watching - after Neco Williams scored the 4th the camera panned to the Welsh player huddle. DJ looked white and was clearly bricking it, straight away I had the suspicion that he was taking the 5th. Horrible situation to be in as it is sudden death after they scored their 5th.

I would have thought there was an argument that the disappointment for the Welsh contingent would have the effect of galvanising the determination to ensure that they do everything to ensure automatic promotion . Falling into the Play Offs now would run the risk of facing another penalty shoot out so there's now an added incentive for the final push towards the line .

Indeed, Dan must have wanted the earth to eat him up after his miss, he looked like he was about to cry, poor fella. Great footballers from the past have missed important penalties.DDB220 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 11:48 am On the channel I was watching - after Neco Williams scored the 4th the camera panned to the Welsh player huddle.

At least the Welsh lads won't have staying injury free on their mind now.

Was thinking down the same lines, they won’t want to taste disappointment and failure again so soon. Had they been celebrating a win then they might have got a little bit complacent- but either way these are professionals and it shouldn’t have too much impact if any. Certainly want our CB pair on the pitch for every remaining game.ruttermania wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 11:55 am I would have thought there was an argument that the disappointment for the Welsh contingent would have the effect of galvanising the determination to ensure that they do everything to ensure automatic promotion .

I think EB just typed it too quickly, in his head he knows what he meant , I think ?

Re: The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Wednesday 27th March) Wales heartache and the knock on effect for Leeds
Looking at the injured list we will need James replacing Gnonto, Piroe replacing Rutter BUT who replaces Gruev in midfield ?
Georgie Rutter- Hernia
Connor Roberts- muscle
Wilfred Gnonto- Hamstring
Ilia Gruev- Ligament
Junior Firpo- Travel issue

I think Rutter will pass a late fitness test .DF will be mulling over the Gruev situation and if necessary will move Ampadu to midfield and play Cooper at Centre back . If Roberts had been available he would have been tempted to play Gray in midfield but that seems to have been ruled out .

Worse case scenario.
Move Gray to midfield, Byram to right back, and send Firpo straight to Vicarage rd from Heathrow.

It's between Ampadu and Rodon for sure. Ampadu has kind of made himself club leader. Such a bargain too. I think both would be great in most premier league sides. Hopefully they'll be in our premier league side next season.Ellandback1 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 10:02 am To me, Ampadu has to be player of the season. He's been head and shoulders consistently our best player, just behind Rodon. Really hope both are fit for Friday!
