Dirty Leeds Done Dirt Cheap


Excellent. You’d never believe that two weeks previously we were unacceptably dire against Huddersfield and weak against Plymouth and then can play as we did against West Brom and Leeds.

Dodds has actually improved our attacking effectiveness by being more pragmatic and making us much tighter and competitive (niggly hunting in packs a la Peter Reid era) with subtle changes in the way we line up and things like the introduction of Seelt against Leeds and this video underlined his brilliant contribution.

My biggest complaint with Mowbray were his constant messing with starting line ups, inability to change things in negative situations, slow build ups and ridiculous scattergun substitutions that mainly confused the situation.

Beating West Brom and Leeds in consecutive matches is great credit to Dodds and this was another weakness under Mowbray-an inability to beat the better teams in the division-my only worry in both games is that we still often overplay at the back in tight situations and often Patterson would be better throwing longer if appropriate. Law of averages, the risks we take sometimes will get punished but well done all on the last two results.
 
Here you go - The Leeds United Review. Mike Dodds goes Two for Two against promotion rivals. Find out what changes he made from Mowbray and just how he engineered two unlikely wins. Enjoy.

Love your stuff mate.
It was a great match to watch, but there's always little things I miss and get an extra appreciation for on your reviews.

Thanks for doing this mate. I miss the matches when I'm on Nights and don't enjoy the match as much after the fact. Your videos are so useful as I care about how we're playing, not just the highlights. You're a good egg and funny to boot.
I love the celebrations at the end, what a class bunch of players. Patti acting like a big silly kid was lovely to see, they're having fun and it's great to watch a lot of the time.

Excellent as always, although you may have excelled yourself with this one on the humour front.
 
Excellent summary of the match, we looked very solid and Leeds ran out of options.

Out of interest @10 Trenches Deep where are you located as you obviously dont sound local ?

I look forward to your Bristol summary, thanks for all your efforts this season it must take up lots of your time.
Grew up in Concord, Washington. Family from Penshaw. It's just my telephone voice.
 
Another brilliant watch thanks Boris, got me all excited again from Tuesday and even more excited for tomorrow, I was both the Doncaster and Cheltenham games 2 seasons back and I'd never been so flat as walking back to our Cheltenham hotel after the game the younguns looked shot mentally and physically look how far we've come man and so pleased dodds can put those ghosts to rest, 2 impressive set ups and results,
 
Was a very good video, went into great detail on the changes since Mowbray left. Don't think the lad does a bad video and the title is an excellent pun on the AC/DC song.
 
Wins are more fun, but the losses often make better tactics videos. I became obsessed with corners a few videos back, learnt a lot.
That’s another plus at the moment
We’ve gone from being hopeless at corners ( too many short ones for me-corners not players !) to a big threat with Ballard Seelt Jobe -Pritchards delivery is great at the moment and set pieces are suddenly a massive positive for the first time in many a season !HTL
 
You sound like you should be wearing tweed, and holding a pipe
Perhaps think of me like this...Playing football is very much like making love to a beautiful woman @Lankester Merrin

Superb again. Look forward to these every week.

So if the masterclass of tactics and motivation planned by Dodds was by a trendy young foreign coach we would all be in awe of his genius. But because it came from Dodds it was not as widely praised in some quarters. It was said to be a fluke couple of games.

I say give Dodds until the end of the season and then we will see. We are not expected to go up anyway, so why not.
The same people will have said that SAFC being constantly beaten by poorer teams was also a fluke.
