It is hard work being a Leeds United supporter. It is not many years ago since Leeds were playing in the Champions League semi final, but now we are faced with taking trips to places like non-league Histon. I must admit that I had never heard of Histon and I had to "Google" it to find out where it was. It turns out that Histon is in Cambridgeshire and is a village with a population of about 4,000 people.
Despite being a village football team Histon managed to beat Leeds United one nil. The weather conditions were terrible and the pitch was virtually unplayable. When the conditions are like that it is a great leveler and it wasn't a suprise that Leeds lost. Leeds play good football and their normal passing game just got stuck in the mud ! The whole circumstances made it very likely that there would be a suprise result and that's how it turned out to be.
When your team loses most football supporters feel down in the dumps but when you lose to a team like Histon I can tell you that the feelings of depression are not good.
Leeds have picked up a few injuries lately and they need to pull themselves up quickly if they are to bounce back - hopefully against Tranmere Rovers this Saturday.
