Transcript

00:00 Hello there, Lee Sobot at the Yorkshire Evening Post here from Hull City where Leeds United

00:07 have picked up a point through a goalless draw, 0-0 it finished here. Basically the

00:12 tale of this game is two ridiculous events I would say. Firstly, the red card for Joe

00:19 Rodon, I don't think you can have any complaints about the second yellow card, but the first

00:22 yellow card towards the end of the first half was one of the softest you'll ever see, probably

00:27 not even a foul, just basically a player getting in his way. Didn't really think too much of

00:32 it at the time, it's a yellow card but it's always costly when you're on a yellow and

00:36 in the midway through the second half after 60 minutes a definite yellow for a foul on

00:39 Aaron Connolly and that was the end of him and he probably felt like, you know, well

00:43 my first one was soft so I can get away with the second one, but not to be. The second

00:47 yellow card and that was him giving his marching orders. Leeds actually had created by far

00:51 the better chances, had plenty of them in the first half, but the second ridiculous

00:55 thing we saw here was an absolute sitter at the end missed by Adama Traore, the ball

01:00 squared to him from Aaron Connolly, open goal, Melie was beaten by the square ball and just

01:04 slumped it against the post and all he had to do was side foot it in. They're really

01:08 the two main tales I would say from this game. The third ingredient there really, although

01:13 it's difficult to sort of, easy to forget that now, the way the game has finished, is

01:19 the number of chances Leeds missed basically. There was lots of them in the first half and

01:23 without a shadow of a doubt the best of those fell to Georginio Routier who was played in

01:28 by Crisanthia Somerville and just maybe seemed to overthink it a little bit and take a bit

01:33 too much time. Yes it was a good save but it's a one on one and you've got to finish

01:36 them off. Somerville was then denied a brilliant volley, a fantastic save by Olsav to keep

01:40 that out as well. There were lots of other chances as well, they were the two that really

01:44 stuck out though and Leeds definitely had more than enough chances to put themselves

01:48 well in control before the time that Joe Rodan got sent off. Even when Rodan got sent off

01:53 they continued to create chances but I suppose naturally with one man more, the whole gradually

01:58 got going and as I say that Treore miss at the end was an absolute sitter. Another thing

02:03 from today was the fact that Willy Nantes went off injured, we'll have to wait and see

02:06 how bad that is, I think he rolled his ankle but it has to be said Somerville who came

02:09 on his place was fantastic and looked like a player who has to start quite simply playing

02:13 like that. And Liam Cooper also back from injury as a second half sub, he came on once

02:18 Rodan had gone off. Rodan will obviously now have a suspension as well. I think before

02:23 the game you'd probably come here and try and get three points, especially with Leeds

02:26 I suppose playing catch up after the start they'd had but they're still looking pretty

02:29 good shape. Just got to say though, they've got to take the chances because I know there

02:33 was a sending off here but they could have been almost out of sight really, the number

02:36 of chances they had. There's another point though onto the tally, Watford at home this

02:41 weekend, sooner or later they're going to have to start pushing on if they're going

02:44 to start going for the automatics obviously which will be the aim but not in bad shape

02:47 overall you would say and you still feel like the best is still to come. No goals but no

02:52 No shortage of drama. It finishes here. Hull City 0-0 Leeds United.
