On this week’s podcast we spoke with
Leeds United supporter Professor Richard Parrish, he’s been a lifelong Leeds
fan.
His early memories of meetings between
to the two clubs are the FA Cup quarter final at Springfield Park in 1987, Leeds
won that one 0-2, and also the 2006 3-3 draw at Elland Road, classic
Last season’s amazing defeat for Leeds
– Richard’s words - was memorable for Reece James’ performance, don’t we know.
When asked for a bit of insight into
Leeds, Richard say’s - “If you can put
Leeds under pressure you can really turn the crowd”
“Bielsa has been fantastic, an excellent coach
who improves players, keeping Calvin Phillips has also been very important, he
keeps Bielsa’s formation in games, playing just in front of the two central
defenders, but he is suspended for the game tomorrow.”
“Ben White’s been terrific since he signed in
the summer.”
When asked on current form Richard
says “We’ve only won two games since
December and we are susceptible to crosses”
“We’re also poor at converting chances,
similar to yourselves, Bamford although top scorer is most guilty of this.”
Player to look out for? - “Hernandez is our best player, a magician,
shame he’s in his mid 30s.”
Thoughts on the Latics – “I’ve seen Wigan lots of times over the
years as I work in Ormskirk, under Martinez they played some of the best
football that I’ve ever seen.”
“The Sheffield Wednesday win must have been
great for confidence, hopefully you can pick up enough points before the end of
the season to stay up.”
