Leeds United 1 Cardiff City 4

A harrowing day for Leeds at Elland Road where they were humiliated by Neil Warnock's (his 5th straight win against Leeds since he was sacked as their manager) high flying Skybirds. And yet another red card, the fourth in the last five games. It's hard to see Thomas Christiansen last much longer after this dismal performance which was shown live on Sky Sports.

First half goals from Callum Paterson, Junior Hoilett and Sean Morrison along with a deserved a red card for Leeds Gaetano Berardi saw the game over as a contest at half time. Anthony Pilkington added a fourth before ex Leeds defender Sol Bamba put through his own net for a consolation goal. At this stage huge numbers of Leeds fans had left the stadium and who could blame them such was the effort of their side.

Hull City 0 Leeds United 0

Leeds United secured a draw at relegation-threatened Hull City to end their three-game losing run in what can only be described as a poor advertisement for the Championship.Much maligned goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald had an excellent game for Leeds making excellent saves from Bowen, Dicko and Jackson Irvine to secure a valuable point.

It was a game that Leeds targeted the three points after a poor run of results but they can be thankful for the pint as Hull were the better team. Pierre-Michel Lasogga and Ezgjan Alioski both had half chances for Leeds and this was as good as it got for Thomas Christianse's side.

Leeds United 3 Millwall 4

What can one say about this game where Leeds had a man sent off for the third consecutive game, went 2-0 down, came back to lead 3-2 and then conceded two goals in the last five minutes to lose a thriller. The Lions went 2-0 up through Aiden O'Brien on 18 minutes and Lee Gregory n forty two while Liam Cooper was sent off before the break for a late challenge on George Saville. Some might say it was harsh but on second viewing the referee had little option as it was a terrible tackle. Millwall had also a goal disallowed in the first half and in truth could have been 6-0 at half time with all the chances they squandered.

However a double from Pierre-Michel Lasogga on 46 and 62 minutes either side of Kemar Roofe's finish on 55 minutes had Leeds supporters scratching their heads… Read more

Today 15 years ago Ennislusc was founded in Considine's Bar , Parnell Street which at the time was run by Paul Nuggy Nihill. It has been a roller coaster time for Leeds supporters since then with relegation from the Premiership, them the Championship and promotion back up to the championship. However our membership has never wavered and we are an extremely well supported club.

Unfortunately we have lost four of our members since our foundatin who have gone to their eternal rest and we think of Mike McNamara, Jimmy Allard, Gerry Sheridan and John Finn today. Gone but never forgotten by all your friends at Ennislusc. The friendships made through Ennislusc are for life and there is a bond there among members that isn't found in too many clubs. Here's t the next 15 years Of Ennislusc. Marching On Together

Ipswich Town 1 Leeds United 0

The Tractor Boys denied 10-man Leeds the chance to move back into the Championship play-off places thanks to a wonder strike from Bersant Celina. He hit a gal of the season effort over Felix Wiedwald from 30 yards after Kalvin Phillips lost his footing in midfield and Celina benefited.

The turning point of the game came in the 37th minute when Leeds midfielder Eunan O'Kane was shown a straight red card for an off-the-ball incident involving Jonas Knudsen. This gave the visitors an uphill battle but despite being a man short they looked most likely to win the game let alone take a point until Celin's intervention. With ten minutes remaining Liam Cooper fired over from three yards out and thus dropped Leeds out of the top six.

For the want of repeating myself we need a striker in this January window if we hazard any… Read more

Newport County 2 Leeds United 1

Leeds made nine changes for the FA Cup tie with
League Two Newport County at Rodney Parade and paid a heavy price being dumped out of the competition. To compound a terrible day for The Whites Saiz was sent off in the 91st minute for spitting and will now get a six game ban. Earlier in the season Leeds beat Newport 5-1 in the Carabao Cup and it looked like being more of the same when Gaetano Beradi put them ahead in the ninth minute but that was as good as it got for the Yorkshire men.

Conor Shaughnessy's own goal on 76 minutes lifted The Exiles and from there on Leeds were hanging on in the hope of a draw and a replay at Elland Road. However on 89 minutes Newport's Shawn McCoulsky rose highest following a corner and bedlam ensued as the Welsh… Read more

Leeds United 0 Nottingham Forest 0

Leeds were held to a goalless draw by manager less Forest in a game that they dominated but couldn't find the net. Pontus Jansson had a header cleared off the line and Kemar Roofe rattled the crossbar after a brilliant run by Samu Saiz had set him up late in the second half. It's now blatantly obvious that we haven't replace Chris Wood's goals and if we are to have any chance of a play off pace we need t buy in the January transfer window.

Birmingham City 1 Leeds United 0

A humiliating defeat for in form Leeds at St Andrews when Congolese International Jacques Maghoma 83rd minute goal sealed the points for relieved Blues manager Steve Cotterill. The midfielder smashed the ball in from close range after Jota's shot was parried by Felix Wiedwald to give Blues their first victory in eight games.

Leeds best chance came from Pablo Hernandez when his shot was palmed onto the top of the crossbar by excellent Blues keeper David Stockdale. Thomas Christiansen side had won four-straight matches before today's game but they weren't at the races today. Why Christiansen didn't start Saiz only he can answer as when he came on in the second half he was Leeds best player. Now New Year Day game at Elland Road vs Forest takes on a new dimension and there would want to be a hundred percent improvement if we… Read more

All at Ennislusc wish each and every member and their families a Happy New Year. We also think of those members who have lost loved ones during the year and we pray they are looking down on us from on high.

Hopefully 2018 will see us at least gain a play off place but as one knows following Leeds United is a roller coaster ride so only time will tell

MARCHING ON TOGETHER

Burton Albion 1 Leeds United 2

Leeds United earned a fourth consecutive victory as they came from behind to deny Nigel Clough's side a win. The Brewers took the lead against the run of play on 29 minutes when defender Tom Naylor tapped in a Lucas Akins cross from two yards. The equalizer for Leeds was an absolute thing of beauty as Pablo Hernandez free kick from outside the box found the top corner.

This gave Leeds the spur to find a winner and three minutes later Kemar Roofe, who has found a new lease of life as a centre forward put Leeds in front, shooting home from ten yards. From here on Leeds dominated proceedings and deservedly held n fr the away points.

Leeds United 1 Norwich City 0

Pontus Jansson's 41st minute header gave Leeds a well deserved home victory over The Canaries.
Leeds biggest threat was from set-pieces and Jansson rose highest to power home Pawel Cibicki corner kick which went in off the post. Norwiche's Alex Pritchard went closest to levelling for Norwich seeing his effort come back off the bar with Wiedwald beaten.

Norwich were denied what looked a stone wall penalty after Nelson Oliveira was fell on the edge of the box but his protestations were waved away. Samuel Saiz who once again had an excellent game in the middle f the field struck the woodwork late on as Leeds held on for a great three points.

Queens Park Rangers 1 Leeds United 3

Ex Oxford United striker Kemar Roofe scored a brilliant hat-trick at Loftus Road and kept up the recent good run by Leeds. Mind you after a poor first half which was dominated by the home side Leeds came out all guns blazing in the second half and deservedly took the lead on 63 minutes. The first goal which was always going to be crucial
came following a great cross from Ezgjan Alioski which Roofe headed home powerfully. His second followed five minutes later when he got on the end of a cross from substitute Pawel Cibicki.

It looked like Leeds were home and hosed until
Leeds keeper Felix Wiedwald made a horrendous error to allow Pawel Wszolek's cross on the strike ff full time to bounce over his head to give the R's a lifeline. Since Robert Green left in the summer the goalkeeping… Read more

Once again Ennislusc members continued the tradition of traveling over to Elland Road for a fixture prior to Christmas and they were rewarded with a battling performance from The Whites against Steve Bruce's high flying Aston Villa. Being a Friday night televised fixture it was a bit unusual for the crew as that's normally the settling in period for them to sample some Yorkshire brew and get in the mood for a 3 pm kick off on Saturday. Gone are the days where we can fly over and back from Shannon as a group so it's buses to Dublin and trains to Leeds on arrival from Manchester or Birmingham.

Joining the lads at the game was Tadhg Murphy, son of Leeds United fanatic Alan. It seems only yesterday that Alan used be buying out the Leeds Superstore of a gear for his sons and now Tadhg is returning the favour… Read more

Leeds United 1 Aston Villa 1

The Friday night live Sky Sport Championship game at Elland Road proved a cracker and was a great game for the traveling fans from Ennislusc to attend. Leeds were much the better side in the first half with Pontus Jansson heading home on 19 minutes following a Pablo Hernandez corner. This was no more than Leeds deserved but they were dealt a major blow on 42 minutes when play maker Hernandez was forced off with a leg injury.

It was always going to be a hard ask to keep Steve Bruce's Villa at bay and they were a much improved side in the second half. Wiedwald made a great save from Adomah but he'd no chance on 71 minutes when Henri Lansbury shot home from the edge of the area following a driving run from midfield. Neither side was able to create a clear… Read more

Barnsley 0 Leeds United 2

Leeds got back to winning ways after the Molineux nightmare when they beat Yorkshire rivals Barnsley. Oakwell is never an easy ground to visit but right from the start Leeds set the tone for the game. It was only right that Samuel Saiz but The Whites ahead on 23 minutes as he was the dominant player on the field and was pulling all the strings for Leeds. Four minutes into injury time Ezgjan Alioski made it two nil with his third consecutive league goal curling in a left foot shot from the edge f the area.

There was little in the second half with The Tykes not troubling Wiedwald in the Leeds goal. It's a badly needed three points to put Leeds back on track and with Aston Villa visitors to Elland Road next Saturday it couldn't come at a better time.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 4 Leeds United 1

Leeds were though a lesson by a team Leeds manager Thomas Christiansen described as the best team in the division although he did point to the sending off of Vieira on 60 minutes as a contributing factor to the big defeat. Wolves went ahead on 15 minutes when Barry Douglas curled in a superb free kick after Liam Cooper gave away a silly free on the edge of the box.

Top scorer Leo Bonatini twice went close before Cavaleiro doubled Wolves lead on 26 minutes shooting from 12 yards to beat ex Wolves keeper Andy Lonergan. Leeds got a huge break three minutes after half time when Ezgjan Alioski ghosted in to pull one back but the sending off of Ronaldo Vieira for a second booking on sixty minutes effectively killed off any chance of salvaging something from the game.

Diogo Jota ran through a static Leeds… Read more

Leeds United 2 Middlesbrough 1

While ex Leeds manager Garry Monk received a great reception on his return to Elland Road that was as good as it got as the home side won for the first time on their home turf since the 23rd September. Mind you it may not have turned out so good for Leeds as they were on the receiving end of a horrendous penalty decision on 77 minutes given by the linesman and it was a battle there to the end including eight minutes of injury time to frey the nerves.

It was Pablo Hernandez who gave Leeds the lead on 24 minutes turned in a Kalvin Phillips flick-on when ghosting in at the back post. On 54 minutes Alioski scored his second goal in two games following a Hernandez cross. It looked like Leeds had only to see the game out for the three points until the… Read more

Bradford City 3 Leeds United 1

A dominant Brentford inflict a sixth defeat in seven Championship games on Leeds and this despite missing a penalty on the stroke of half time and crashing two shots against the crossbar. While Leeds might feel hard done by after drawing level the truth is they were well outplayed by a Bradford team who dominated them in all positions. On this display Leeds will be lucky to stay in the top half of the table not to mind dreaming of a top six finish.

Neal Maupay headed the Bees ahead on 22 minutes after Leeds keeper Andy Lonergan made a complete dogs dinner of Yoann Barbet's left-wing cross. Then on 45 minutes, much to the relief of the travelling Leeds supporters Ollie Watkins blazed a penalty over the bar after been taken down by Pontus Jansson. Midway through the second half the Bradford keeper Daniel Bentley… Read more

Leeds United 1 Derby County 2

Leeds went into the game in poor form having lost four of their previous five games and despite the tonic of an early goal they succumbed to a dreadful refereeing decision not to award Ezgjan Alioski a stone wall penalty and then giving The Rams a penalty on 80 minutes when the offence clearly took place outside the box.

On loan Hamburg striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga had put The Whites ahead on seven minutes after being put through by Samuel Saiz. Derby had not a single shot on target in the first half but once Winnall scored on 72 minutes it seemed to deflate Leeds and the confidence drained from the team. Then disaster struck when Hadi Sacko was adjudged to have fouled Tom Lawrence in the box and Winnall scored his second goal of the night sending Andy Lonergan the wrong way from the… Read more

Leeds United 1 Sheffield United 2

Sheffield United went top of the Championship thanks to substitutes David Brooks 81st minute winner in a tense Yorkshire derby. Leeds got off to the worst possible start when ex Leeds favourite Billy Sharp put The Blades in front with a second-minute header. It was catastrophic defending from Leeds and not the start that was wanted. Indeed they looked very nervous and were not up the the pitch of the game from the start.

Despite being out played for much of the first half Leeds got back into it on 34 minutes with a wonder volley from Kalvin Phillips. It looked as if Leeds had withered the storm when on 52 minutes Samuel Saiz hit the post from outside the area but in truth that was as good as it got for the home side.
