Leeds United vs Hull City match thread

He was awesome in pre-season. I thought against Blackpool he looked promising in the first half but as you say he lost composure, however I thought in the second half he looked really good. He looks very promising.

 

Shows how weird it's become supporting the Tigers lately... if we were at home - I reckon Leeds would nick it, but away from home, I'm full of confidence. Like tigerman said, we're currently on one loss in 20, and that came with a ****load of injuries on the game after the play-offs had been ruled out.

Won't be an impressive win, but another 0-1 steal is on the cards I think...

 

Tricky, Direct and Fire in his belly best way to describe him maybe a lil selfish at times but hes young so we'l forgive him

 

Brady one nil for me

 

Probably more to do with the club he comes from and their 'morals'.

 

Well we wont have any complaints about them, theyve sent a few nice players our way, its a shame Stewarts injured or ur fullbacks would of been in for a busy night

 

So what would u say leeds biggest weakness is at the moment?

 

Up front, midfield and defence!

Well, mainly just up front and defence. They're not the important ones... are they?

 

Just seen the Leeds game on FL show.

Grayson moans that Howson was wrongly sent off. I get that.

Except that Howson had earlier managed to get McMahon sent off with his whining (which he must have learnt from Gradel).

What goes around...

 

If last season's matches (2-2 both) are anything to go by, there will be goals, I'm not getting carried away, Elland Rd is always a difficult place to go no matter how low Leeds' confidence.. but NP sets us up well away so we've always got a shot of getting a point or three..

With Gradel out, they'll play young Nunez with McCormack up front I suppose and he's got bags of talent so Chester & Hobbs will have to be on their guard.

 

Brady is very very exciting, bags of skill, pace and power. You'll have a tough game keeping him back to be honest with you especially without Howson.

Fryatt found his feet with a goal today and much growing in confidence, hes gonna bag a hat trick past you im affraid. With McLean chipping in with some neet throw balls.

No Gradel, Howson, Schmichel, Bechio, Johnson.... I mean its a League one team isn't it? Lost 3-1 to Southampton and 1-0 to Boro today... Need to be beating teams like that if you want a good season this year. Looking forward to coming down to your ****ting ground to come back with a big result.

Im not worried about your attacking 'threats' you should be more worried TWS just you wait... 0 points 3 games in with a GD of -7....

 

Sam, Nunez and Snodgrass all worry me. The rest are poor or average players, who'll no doubt raise their game for this massive derby match and play out of their skin.

At the back for us I feel only Rosenior can be fully relied on to stifle, at least partially, the threat of the aforementioned Leeds players. Hobbs and Chester have been hit-and-miss in our three games so far, and Dudgeon is an unknown quantity. In Midfield, Koren drifts in and out but can produce game changing moments of quality that would otherwise be entirely absent from our team, thanks to a complete lack of creativity in our other players. Brady was excellent in pre-season, but this is competitive football we're talking about, so can he have the same impact? I certainly think so, and it's imperative that he does with Cameron Stewart still out. Stewart is a big miss, as he's the one player we have with any pace (somewhat ridiculous when you consider that we employ a defensive, counter-attacking style). Leeds fans should be praying that Hapless Harper's name appears on the team sheet, as he's ****ing gash.

Up front Simpson has the touch of an Elephant and is unreliable in front of goal, and missed an absolute sitter against Macclesfield. Hopefully Fryatt's goal today will have given him a bit of confidence, and with any luck it'll be the start of a (preferably extensive) purple patch. Dele Adebola is Dele Adebola, so no further comment is required.

 

Red Cards, I'd say. isnt that 3 in 2 games now?

 

It's a good job Becchio's already injured, the daft twat gave himself a black eye last year when he headbutted our Captain's elbow.

 

2000+ City fans will be going away with a big smile on their faces as we continue our dominant away form, 1-0 win against the "Champions of Europe and Kings of Yorkshire (Allegedly)". You white ****e are in for a long hard season of struggle and eventual relegation.

 

You forgot about Tom Cairney.

 

You'd start with McCormack in goal???????????

Still the way you are playing it won't make much difference.

Good luck for all other games.

 

Scmeichel and Johnson = Both ****. I'm not taking anyone seriously until they stop with that crap.

I think this will be our first league win. Lonergan and the defence were excellent against 'Boro and would very likely have kept a clean sheet, and probably won, had we not had 2 players sent off for looking at the referee funny, so weirdly I would say we're in quite good form coming off that defeat. Weakest areas for us are the fact we have no decent LB, although O'Dea did not badly, and no cover at CM which is why 18 year old Thompson's on the bench. Likely line up:

---------------------------------------Lonnie Donegan

Lees-----------------------Bromby-------------------------Paddy----------------------------O'Dea

---------------------------Clayton-------------------------Brown

--------Snoddy--------------------------Nunez--------------------------------Sam

----------------------------------------McCormack

And my prediction is 2-0 to us. Another show stopping Clayton performance, a 30 yard thunderbolt from McCormack and another scrappy tap in for Nunez while QSS goes on to create a new religion with Nunez and Somma as its deities.

 

and there was me trying to help you not look quite so stupid as usual.

Ah well, it's clear stupid's the image you're after, and you've got it down to a fine art. Mind you, whining and blubbing's not an attractive look on you.
