Hull City v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Hull site (fair commentary) & LUTV extended highlights up

[dezzy]

I think we won’t have an easier game, these guys are out of form and missing lots of players. It would be great to get a big win, but again this league is crazy so who knows.

[John in Louisiana]

What's the final word on Kalvin? Will he play today? Or will at be Berardi again with White moving forward?

Playing the early game today we could put a lot of pressure on all the others with a win.

Kelvin back, Meslier starts, Caprile on the bench

[Irish Ian]

Somewhat off topic, but the Swiss hockey leagues will be playing to empty arenas starting this week as a response to the coronavirus.

Any chance the British government might make the same sort of decision? It would be just my luck to wait 48 years to get to a game and then not be allowed in.

Only a week for them to make that decision John. Things would need to deteriorate a lot for the govt to make that choice in that period of time.

Team News

Bench is
Douglas
Ali

I think we'll basically ignore it....as is the way of a Brit.

Agreed.

I did hope Pablo could have been benched, how can Bielsa expect three games a week out of him?

Surely Shacks or Roberts need at least 60 minutes?

You have nothing on us. Our president's big concern is how the virus will affect the stock market. If someone over here ever suggested we close off baseball, basketball, or (heaven forbid!) football games, he'd be drawn and quartered.

Some things are worth courting death for. Seeing Leeds is one of them. Heck, I've lived sixty years now, so if I kick the bucket for having seen Leeds it will all have been worth it.

Assuming, of course, that I also get some fish and chips from Graveley's.

Let's get two quick goals and then sub him off.

Good luck with all your travels and I really hope this rain that has been falling the last 4/5 months clears away for a week for you..

Thanks for that.

There is almost no amount of rain that could spoil this trip for me.

That hdstreams.club site seems to have a stream

Our great president has claimed that the performance of the stock market is due to him being president. I hope he will be taking responsibility for its dramatic decline.

Let's keep the promotion train rolling. Another 3pts today, please.

[John in Louisiana]

Pretty ragtag lineup for Hull today.

We need to put these guys to the sword.

[NorfolkWhite]

Boys are underway.

Didn’t realise they had Pennington there.....apart from him and Wilks don’t think I’ve heard of one of their players.

[John in Louisiana]

Man unmarked in our box on a long throw. Got away with pone early.

[gessa]

Costa ball watching off their throw again, that's what annoys me with him

[Denman]

If Meslier gets the protection that Kiko had these last three games that is the "nil" part sorted.

Question.

If we get a penalty today ( and I feel we will)

Who takes it?
No confidence Paddy?
Klich even though he had an aberration against Forest? or was it Derby
Pablo?
Jack ( hit the post ) Harrison?

Anyone else?

Klich. He has the right demeanour to take a spot kick.

[NorfolkWhite]

Good work down the left early on - nothing from the cross.
