Now Clive, I'm posting thread now. However, as folk generally don't start commenting until 2pm, this thread will drop down the list. See? Tell me I down have to start bumping it up for ya?? ;D


Leeds United welcome back defender Pontus Jansson after he missed the opening two games through suspension.

Full-back Gaetano Berardi (shoulder) is out while Samu Saiz will hope to retain his place after scoring a hat-trick in the EFL Cup win over Port Vale.

New signing Josh Harrop could make the Preston squad for the first time since joining from Manchester United.

Harrop has been made to wait to make his debut after picking up a calf injury in pre-season.

SAM's prediction
Home win - 48% Draw - 27% Away win - 25%

Match facts

Leeds have won four of their last five league games against Preston (D1), including both matches last season; they've never won three successive league contests against Preston.

The Lilywhites have only won on one of their last eight league visits to Elland Road (D2 L5), coming from 4-1 down to beat Leeds in a 6-4 thriller in September 2010.

Kalvin Phillips (2) scored as many league goals versus Bolton last Sunday as he had in his previous 45 league apps for Leeds United.

Preston, who won on opening weekend versus Sheffield Wednesday, haven't won their opening two league games of a league season since 2008-09.

Preston have kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 Championship matches, however the most recent of those came in their season opener against Sheffield Wednesday (1-0).

Only Tom Cairney (8) has provided more assists in the Championship in 2017 than Leeds' Pablo Hernandez (7).


3 - 0 to the Leeds.

MOT.

With Preston coming to town, previous friendly jibes from Thor sprang to mind. 🤐 Does anyone know what became of him?

[españablanco73]

Wheres Clive´s matchday thread? im lost....

[BelfastAndy]

Port Vale 🤣

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Noted and logged folks

2-1 to Leeds here, no Grayson Beckford snodin or thompson so I think this game becomes just another game for Leeds now

Not sure about Thor, he just disappeared - he was quite good for the banter and certainly like to wind people up by posting on other teams sites. I used to see him occasionally in Preston but not for a while.


As for the game , I have just been out with some K-ender fans and they are resigned to losing, I hope they are right

[ColombianWhite]

Come on Leeds
3 points please

[españablanco73]

looking forward today, first game i can listen too due to work commitments. Just hope LUTV works, ive seen a few complaints from the first matches,theres a dedicated "foreigners version" for us expats now, feel sure it wont work! Is it in Spanish by the way?;D

[pete1967b]

Just about to set off,Really excited near on full house full of optimism, Still lots of work to do for TC to work out his best team will take a while,We have strength in depth for the first time in ages,Hope they all click,

Think we would have beaten Bolton more comfortable than we did if we dint have our back four disrupted,

However your watching, Listening this afternoon enjoy....MOT

[españablanco73]

nowt in it so far, think we need an injection of pace second half though, time for Wonderboy methinks..

[Billyni]

Bit quiet here folks. Perhaps our goalscoring hopes have been a bit exaggerated.

[CromerWhite]

First home game and it looks like they are up for it.

Still think we will win it 2-0

[Billyni]

And i believe our resident Bumley stalker Alf has had to have an emergency drop of tissues parachuted in at half time.

We'll never hear the last of it from him if that score line stays that way.

[ColombianWhite]

Saiz and viera for Hernadez and Okane , we need to get into this
Come on Leeds

[BelfastAndy]

Only home. WTF's going on?

[CromerWhite]

Preston down to ten men, Saiz and Veira on (subs) for Phillips and Roofe.

0-0 at the moment.

[BelfastAndy]

OK. Lucky trunks here. 1 will do it.

[Billyni]

Not really happening at the min. Just lots of huffin and puffin.

[ColombianWhite]

Need to take our chances
Come On

[BelfastAndy]

Dallas. Yip. Here it comes. 3 minutes from now.......

[Billyni]

So long as we dont get hit by a sucker punch.

[Billyni]

Quite like the Bbc final score colour scheme.B)

[Billyni]

Nervous is an understatement.

[BelfastAndy]

Disappointing performance against 10 men

[ColombianWhite]

Disappointing should have won that
FFS
MOT

[CromerWhite]

That was a bad result.

[españablanco73]

normal service resumed. unconvincing.

[Billyni]

Maybe PNE are better than we thought.

[Rev72]

Early days for this team/squad but they (PNE) were on top until they had a man sent off (according to SSN) which is very concerning..but to be given a lifeline for the last 30+mins against 10 men..well you gotta take it.

2 points dropped but 4 points from yer first 2 games ain't bad either.

MOT

Same as last week , great going foward still nervy at the back

To be fair any defence with Cooper in it is gonna be nervy..and we go and give him a 4yr deal XD :O XD :O

Almost billy lad..almost.

[alfinyalcabo]

Honours even at Bellend rd..,I won't mention our away win at the champions elect last season.. :P

[Acido]

Ok then kid, don't mention it. Ohh you just have. :P
Was it Ben Pearson who was sent off for the Nobbers today ?, hes a player we had on loan from ManUre a few seasons ago. And I bet hes still got extremely fluffy hair, he needs to sort his barnet out lol.

[WTF11]

If Preston hadn't been sh1t in attack and don't to 10 men for the last quarter we could have easily lost this. What the f00k is Wiedwald doing, flapping about from one post to another about as much use as a chocolate teapot. Good job their goal was disallowed, but ffs what was Wiedwald doing?
