Wise: Point better than nothing

Leeds manager Dennis Wise insisted "a point is better than nothing" after his side snatched a late 1-1 draw at Walsall on Saturday.

Ian Westlake deflected a free-kick from substitute Alan Thompson past home goalkeeper Clayton Ince to give the Whites a fortuitous 90th-minute goal.

Wise said: "We knew they would be up for this match - it was their cup final but we kept going and a point is better than nothing.

"I could not see anyone winning it at one stage. I thought it was not a fantastic game, but they scored from a set play and our marking disappointed me.

"Walsall had lost only one of their last 15 matches and you could see why because they are well-organised and have some good players who caused us problems."

zamalo da pogodim... a bio sam siguran da dobijamo utakmicu... Mada, zlatno pravilo fudbala: kada ekipa izlazi iz krize, prvo igra nereseno, pa onda dobija... znaci, sledece gostovanje nosi 3 boda...

WHO'S THE SCORER?

Ian Westlake was officially named as United's goalscorer at Walsall on Saturday - although Alan Thompson would have been quite happy to take the plaudits!

Westy got the final touch on a late Thommo free-kick to secure a share of the spoils at the Bescot Stadium.

Substitute Alan was credited with the goal in the media on Sunday, but the timely deflection has earned Westy the honour of being named as the official goalscorer.

"It was officially my goal, although I'd glady give it to him," Westy told LUTV.

"He wanted to claim it, but it came off me. I think the keeper would have had it, but luckily I got the touch on it."

A smiling Thommo was only too happy to join the post-match debate and he joked: "It does matter who scored, particularly when you've not got long left playing!

"It did come off Westy's shoulder, but it was on target. If Westy has it, he has it. I don't mind. A point is the most important thing for us."

TRANSFER TALK

United boss Dennis Wise is hoping to sign Finnish winger Sebastian Sorsa when the transfer window re-opens in January.

And the United boss also revealed he is still pursuing his interest in Bolton's Slovakian central defender Lubo Michalik.

Sorsa, a 23-year-old former Finland under-21 international, is currently with HJK Helsinki, but his contract expires on December 31 and he is available on a Bosman transfer.

He has trained with the club, and impressed the boss.

"He's a winger who caught our eye, and did well," said Wisey.

"We've spoken with him and I'll be looking to bring him in.

"He's got a lot of pace and good ability. What we've seen we liked, and I'm hoping to sign him in January."

Slovakian international defender Lubo is another the boss has his eye on for when the window re-opens.



Lubo made seven appearances for the club while on loan last season - the defender scored the winner against Plymouth at Elland Road in April - but he has recently forced himself into the reckoning at Bolton.

With Rui Marques set to join up with Angola early in the New Year, the boss is looking for more strength at the back.

"I am after a centre-back, and I think everyone knows who," said Dennis. "I've been chasing Lubo for a long time.

"It would be nice if we could make something happen there. I have to look for the right time to do the right thing.

"We know what he is about, and we missed him when he went back last season. He'd be perfect."

The boss says he is looking to strengthen in several areas in the New Year and is looking at targets.

"There's three or four players I'd like to get," he revealed. "I'm looking at the long-term, with young players who can provide good competition for what we have.

"I'm not talking 18-year-olds, but players aged 24 or 25 with games and the experience to make us better."
