The moment is almost upon us when we kick off in the second of 46 matches in the Championship this season, this time at home to Nottingham Forest. Stay tuned here for regular updates as we await the team news coming in and then preview and follow the game all the way through to the post-match press conference.
OK, team news is in as we count down. I'm almost beside my self with excitement lol
Leeds start with an unchanged side with still no starting place for Helder Costa who is again on the bench along with a reappearance for the previously suspended Berardi and new goalkeeper, French under 20 keeper, Meslier.
13Casilla, 15Dallas, 5White, 6Cooper, 3Douglas, 23Phillips, 19Hernández, 4Forshaw, 43Klich, 22Harrison, 9Bamford
Substitutes
1Meslier, 10Alioski, 17Hélder Costa, 28Berardi, 44Bogusz, 46Shackleton, 47Clarke
We're off!!
No place today for new signing Eddie Nketiah as expected
5 mins - On-loan Man City goalie Aro Muric looks well iffy as he HEADS a clearance lol
8mins - First corner to Leeds after Kalvin whacks one from a mile out and their goalie pushes it out for a corner. Corner is poor but we are looking like we are beginning to turn the screw
12 mins - Camped in their half and getting the ball back as soon as they get possession but we need that first goal to really take charge.
A great Pic from Phil Hay, only Kiko Casilla in the Leeds half lol!!!
25mins - Ohhh Bamford, breaks free and only the goalie to beat.........you know the rest, still 0-0!!
30 mins - Kalvin, calm down lad.....stay patient and careful with the challenges! Yellow only ;-)
39 mins - Need some magic to get one in. Same old same old, high pressure, 70% possession and no goals. We need that first goal.
Half-time 0-0 Should have turned that possession to a goal. I think there will be changes at half time. Time to see Costa?
46mins - Leeds get us off for the second half with no changes for either team. Can't see it staying that way for long if there is no break in the deadlock!
51 mins - "A miscued volley into the turf by Patrick Bamford after more good work by Jack Harrison bounces down and away to safety off the bar." GET HIM OFF !!!
59 mins - GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL PABLO !!!!!
Really top quality finish again from Hernandez....the guy is 34 and again, top quality skill and he reads the game so well
64 mins - Forest have made 2 substitutions. We desperately need another to settle my nerves!!!
73 mins - Another Forest sub and Leeds with their first. Alioski on for Harrison who LIMPS off....thats not good!
77 mins - BOLLOCKS we all knew the script.....How many can Bamford miss? WE should have had an unassailable lead by now.
We desperately need Eddie Nketiah ready to go and Bogusz playing instead of Bamford. Shocking
80 mins - Costa on for Klich...very attacking substitution. Leeds are going for it. Let's have another and don't let Bamford near the ball.
90 mins - 4 mins of injury time to play....We can still take all three points.
FULL TIME. Not Impressed....Look at these numbers. Again lacking a clinical striker. How long will Leeds persist with Bamford?
Same as last season. Simply not good enough. Let's hope we get Eddie up to fitness ASAP. Let the boy become a hero!
This will be s tough challenge for Leeds United because Nottingham Forest is a strong side. But I still beleive Leeds United can win the match they just need to be focus and cohesive in the game, team work is what they need to win. I wish them the best of luck in the game
my preduction is 3-1
I'm with you on this score but I'd love to keep a clean sheet.
