General Matchday Thread

[WilsdenBantam]

yeah enjoy league 2 nothing club

see you in 75 seasons

anyway after all the heartbreak i'm finally over it, well done to Derby and actually Frank Lampard was class with his dig back at us in his dressing room with our premature song

all in all for once it was an exciting season for Leeds, can't help thinking if not for calamity cooper and kiko we'd have won comfortably but hey ho, Derby wanted it more in the end

please smash villa in the final preferably with Grealish crying

Don't get so upset Kev, nothing club but I'm the only one you reply to. Check some of the other comments on the game and you single mine out.

I do agree with you about the final though.

How do you work out im upset ? I told you that it would come back and bite you on the arse ,still at least you keep the spine of your team for next season .

 

[villa loyal]

Are you a Leeds fan?

 

[JJH]

Only a Leeds fan would be odd enough to sign up to a general football forum pretending to support somebody else. He's not intelligent enough to keep it from being obvious either, all evidence points to him supporting Leeds.

 

[SF_]

Has he ever made a post about Lincoln?

 

[villa loyal]

Bizarre

 

[JJH]

Bet he fit rights in in the Old Peacock with the rest of the middle aged, divorced, balding shelf stackers.

Apart from the divorced and shelf stacker, I'm gonna fit in there!

And me . I dress smart though.

Straight on here the morning after to get your ribbing into a team you have no affiliation to, there's a pretty clear motive me owd.

Nothing has bitten us on the arse. Spine will be sound don't you worry about us.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

He's not a Leeds fan he says

He's a Bielsaite (£3.5m a year).

A fair few on here predicted Leeds would fall away, though not as spectacularly as they did.

RAWS claims to be a football profiteer professional gambler, be interested in his strategy next season.

Oh and he's, to my knowledge, never posted about Lincoln.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

So it all starts again this weekend, we kick off our season at Reading, confirmed Lee Bullen will be in charge for this one which makes sense considering he's been taking the team since Bruce's departure, and a bit of continuity from the good work that fatty did might help. Hopefully Chansiri is holding out for somebody good like Hughton, because no doubt if it was going to be one of the usual unemployed mob they'd have been appointed by now. We've done some good business this summer with the 3 we've brought in, but we are still massively lacking in midfield and way too top heavy, we probably wont do anymore business until the Premier League squads are announced, which means we'll be lining up with the preferred 4-3-3 at the weekend.

[Craig]

Can’t fucking wait!

 

[JJH]

We play Sunday mate, Huddersfield vs Derby I think is Monday.

As for our game, we lose to Leeds twice a year regardless of circumstances usually so written this game off completely.

Bentley
Hunt Kalas Webster Da Silva
Pack
Brownhill Szmodics
Eliasson Diedhiou O’Dowda
​

That’s probably our best team. Think Weimann will start instead of O’Dowda though.

0-2. Hernandez 19’, Klich 81’.

24,012 (2,333)

Can't believe I'm looking forward to Luton vs Middlesbrough

That’s a really very strong defence. Just need to keep Diedhou fit really.

Same here, cant fucking wait , when is it

 

[JJH]

Need a new striker really mate, sounds like we’ll get one as well.

 

[SF_]

Hoping Rudd is gone by the time we play Millwall or I think he'll be starting. With the two daddy long legs they have up front it's a guaranteed goal for them, they'll have free reign of his six yard box unless Bauer can be superman for 90 minutes.

Ben Davies is class but if he has one weakness, its dealing with high balls into that six yard box. Was our main downfall last season, as Huntington had a poor season and Storey showed his inexperience at times.

Don't think Bodin is 100% to start, so i'd go with Potts down the right. Gally has had a better pre-season than DJ too.

Not Rudd
Fisher, Bauer, Davies, Hughes
Pearson, Gallagher
Potts, Browne, Barkhuizen
Maguire
​

If we make any attacking signings then I can't see them being thrown into the 11 at this stage.

 

[Bobbin']

Bauer spent four seasons with Charlton Athletic before making a Bosman switch to Deepdale this summer.

North End start the season against Millwall on Saturday at The Den – a ground just four miles from his former club.

So that adds a little bit of extra spice to the occasion for the big German defender.

Bauer told the Lancashire Post: “Millwall are the biggest rival of Charlton so this is a very good game for me.

“To go there and get three points would be a great way to start the season.”

Nice to see Charlton still have his heart, just like he has ours after (90+4).

 

[SF_]

Fuck it, bench him and play Storey.

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Seems like Cranie is set to play right back tomorrow with nothing new being announced. Was likely too late anyway even if we did announce something today.

That being the case we are going going to look pretty unbalanced if last Saturday is anything to go by. Going from 2 very attacking fullbacks to 2 very defensive ones whilst still seemingly pursuing the diamond formation. Not sure that’s going to work out very well.

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

Are we really Charlton's biggest rival? I thought you lot disliked Palace more than us.

 

[Bobbin']

I personally would rank Palace above Millwall. To be fair to Bauer though, he’s only really played against Millwall in local derbies for us so probably feels like it to him.

Excellent, nobody likes the Nigels. Obnoxious fuckers.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Stripey Nigel bastards

 

[Kenneth E End]

I have a fear we're going to get a bit of a tonking tomorrow; that said it's probably not a bad time to be facing Middlesbrough - they've not had the best summer either.

We're considerably weaker defensively; a goalkeeper still getting to know his defence; playing a system that really isn't suited to the players we've now got and an unproven front line.
