Leeds Utd v Hull City Match Thread - Uncut footage!!!

Leeds United v Hull City
Saturday 31st August 3:00pm | Elland Road


Hull City are the visitors to Elland Road on Saturday, with Leeds facing their second Yorkshire derby in seven days. They produced their best performance of the season at Hillsborough last weekend, proving there's life after Rutter, despite his level of contributions last season. Belgium hotshot Largie Ramazani, and Israeli International Manor Solomon will go a long way to softening the blow, but only if Leeds can bring further in further reinforcements, before the transfer window slams shut!

The Tigers too have experienced significant upheaval this Summer. Tim Walter has replaced Liam Rosenior at the helm, and has had a complete clear out which has seen 18 players leave and 13 new faces arrive, including Cody Drameh and Liam Millar. Left-back Ryan Giles (£5.3m) and centre-half Charlie Hughes (£4.7m) have been drafted in to tighten up their leaky defence.





They concede at a rate of 1.54 expected goals per game, the fifth worst in the Championship, but are only one of nine teams not to lose yet (in the league) this season. They are expected to complete the signing of former Leeds stalwart Liam Cooper before Friday's deadline - how awkward is that going to be....

Leeds have no new injury concerns. Max Wober's calf injury is expected to miraculously clear up if interest from Borussia Mönchengladbach materialises. Largie Ramazani has received his work permit, and could start whilst Manor Solomon has a long way to go until he reaches full fitness.

Never an easy game against Hull so we'll need to be at our best to get the three points.

Unchanged team with Ramazani on the bench is the most likely.

Certainly wasn't as easy as the result suggested last season.

Dan the man's stunning goal was a massive relief.

Miller who was at Preston last season will likely cause Bogle plenty of problems down their left side.

I was just wondering about what the starting 11 will be. You're likely right - same as last time with the 2 new boys on the bench. Hope we get to see both of them.
We're up to our ears in wingers again.

One of Archie's worse games at Deepdale, though he had Miller in his pocket in the return match at ER.

Indeed, we can take our time. Enjoy our respective mate's company & watch our team win football matches at a traditional time.

See you on Saturday, about 2.15 to 2.30, Kev.

I think we'll be unchanged with Ramazani, Solomon and Tanaka on the bench.

[The Subhuman]

Assuming we're not throwing the newbies in at the deep end we're picking from 11 really, with Piroe, Aaronson both starting.

Ramazani has his work permit. Don't think Tanaka will get his in time

[Cjay]

Tanaka is available tomorrow

[Ellandback1]

Tanaka is available tomorrow

Great. I'm looking forward to seeing him play. Word in, we were offered Jlubacic for £6m on the 11th hour but fter signing Tanaka, didn't need him...
