14th February 2006- Championship, Leeds United 2 Watford 1 http://watford.fcdb.info/index.php?page=matches BBC: Robbie Blake’s double-strike sank nine-man Watford as Leeds leapfrogged the Hornets into third place. Daily Telegraph, 15 Feb 2006 Independent, 15 Feb 2006 Evening Standard, 15 Feb 2006 BSAD: Word had already reached us in the chatter beneath the stand that Gavin Mahon had succumbed to the dead leg inflicted by Saturday’s referee. With Matthew Spring already missing (due to a clause in his transfer that is as graceless as much of Leeds’ conduct this evening) and with Dom Blizzard still absent we fielded a central midfield of eighteen year-old Al Bangura and full-back James Chambers. Chris Eagles was back in the side in place of Anthony McNamee; otherwise it was the same line-up that faced Coventry. BSAD: Jordan Stewart’s poor header back to Foster allowed Hulse to intercept, push the ball past the on-rushing Foster and land in a heap on the floor. From my appalling view, five rows back at the other end, I couldn’t tell you if Foster made much contact with Hulse, but what I’m pretty sure of is that Hulse was never going to reach the ball for a second touch. Referee Mike Jones must have seen otherwise though and bowed to home pressure by sending Foster for an early bath. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=2006-02-14 https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-championship/14-february-2006/ Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
