Dropping Down The Table At Alarming Rate

Leeds United 0 Fulham 1

United welcomed back Ross McCormack to Elland Road and got a good reception from the majority of the crowd. However Hugo Rodallega scored the only goal on 60 minutes as Fulham departed with a valuable three points and leap frogged Leeds in the Championship.Leeds had a fantastic chance to level when Fulham keeper Gabor Kiraly missed Billy Sharp's cross but Adryan headed wide.
Rodallega had a chance to seal the game when he was through on goal but failed to hit the target.
The result dropped Leeds to 19th and heaps more misery on Neil Readfearn.

Disastrous Defending After Super Start

Ipswich Town 4 Leeds United 1

After a superb victory at Elland Road last weekend United came crashing down to earth with a bang at Portman Road. Neil Redfearn's side made a great start to the game taking the lead after only four minutes with in form Mirco Antenucci converted a Warnock's cross. This was a totally unusual scenario for the away side but unfortunately the lead lasted only seven minutes as an unmarked ex Irish International Daryl Murphy headed a Chambers cross beyond goalkeeper Marco Silvestri to level for The Tractor Boys

Worse was to follow on 26 minutes when Stephen Warnock bundled Paul Anderson in the box and McGoldrick made no mistake from the spot. On the stroke of half time Murphy got his second of the afternoon slotting the ball through the legs of the Leeds goalkeeper for his 13th goal of the season. Whatever manager Redfearn said at… Read more

United Down The League Leading Rams

Leeds United 2 Derby County 0

What a game for the 26th visit to Elland Road by Ennislusc members and see their beloved Whites down the high flying Rams,gaining their first victory over them since September 2005.Derby had won 10 of the previous 12 meetings between the two sides in all competitions and drawing the other two.

It was a terrific day for United's Mirco Antenucci whose double strike gave the home crowd of 26,028 one of their best days of this topsy
turvy year. His first strike came on 43 minutes when he slotting home Alex Mowatt's cut-back from 12 yards. Then to settle the nerves of the home fans he made it 2-0 on 50 minutes after a one-two between Stephen Warnock and Adryan.He nearly completed his hat trick late on first forcing a fine save from Lee Grant before later cutting inside the box and striking just inches over… Read more

Finally A Win To Lift The Gloom

Leeds United 3 Blackpool 1

Neil Redfearn who was in caretaker charge earlier in the season before being handed the job permanently finally got off to winning ways in his third game in charge second time round. Liam Cooper's left-footed volley from twenty yards on 9 minutes gave United a dream start and was his first goal for the club. Things got better for Leeds on 31 minutes when Doukara's first-time finish rounded off a superb team move.

In a brilliant first half display Leeds secured the points on 42 minutes through Antenucci's deflected strike from 18 yards which was the Italian's fifth goal of the season. The second half was a drab affair with United content to defend deep and ex Newcastle striker Nial Granger pulled one back for Blackpool on 75 minutes but that was as good as it got for new manager Lee Clarke. Leeds are now up… Read more

Two Super Mowatt Strikes Not Enough

Leeds United 2 Charlton Athletic 2

Neil Redfearn's side twice squandered the lead as two Johann Berg Gudmundsson goals earned Charlton a point at Elland Road. United are winless in eight but took led through 19 year old Alex Mowatt's third strike of the season. The central midfielder curled a superb left foot shot into the top corner from 12 yards on 49 minutes.

Charlton got back on level terms when Gudmundsson scored on 62 minutes but Mowatt hit a stunning second from 20 yards on 67 minutes and Leeds looked to be on the way to securing a much needed three points. However it was not to be and Charlton earned a point after Giuseppe Bellusci's foul in the box allowed Gudmundsson to score from the spot on 81 mins. We are now 17th in The Championship and sliding down the table at an alarming rate.

No Dream Start For Redfearn

Cardiff City 3 Leeds United 1

Leeds announced Neil Redfearn's appointment as their new manager less than 90 minutes before kick-off but there was no silver lining for The Whites as they remain winless in seven games. There were only a few half-chances for either team in a dour and drab first half and in truth Leeds probably shaded it in the possession stats.

Cardiff stareted the second half in determined fashion and their two centre-backs combined for the opening goal on 61 minutes when Sean Morrison heading across goal for Ecuele Manga to nod in his first goal for Cardiff.The Bluebirds doubled their lead six minutes later as Macheda's shot took a huge deflection off Jason Pearce. Alex Mowatt scored a brilliant individual goal on 77 minutes to breath some life into United .

However Leeds hopes of a comeback were undermined by their own farcical defending as Silvestri and Giuseppe… Read more

Darko Gets The Boot After 32 Days In Charge

Leeds United 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers 2

We are slowly becoming the biggest joke in football with Darko Milanic being sacked after 32 days in charge,breaking our previous record of 44 days which was held by legendary managers Brian Clough and Jock Stein.Since 1986 Leeds have had 24 managers which is the same amount Manchester United have had in their entire history which says it all. While Darko was in charge for 6 games (Appointed 23rd Sept, 2 draws and 4 losses) he had a guillotine hanging over his head ever since he took the post after leaving Sturm Graz.

Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has a reputation for sacking managers having sacked 36 in 22 years in his time with Cagliari. Even the great John Giles has gone on record as stating that he should get out of the club and leave it for an owner who could work for best interest… Read more

No Singing For Canaries

Norwich City 1 Leeds United 1

Despite a possession stat of 38 per cent Leeds managed to steal a point at Carrow Road and Milanic is still looking for his first win as Boss in his 5th game in the hot seat. How long more will Cellinio's patience last I wonder give his reputation foe sacking managers. Add to that a claim by Norwich striker Cameron Jerome that he was racially abused by Leeds defender Giuseppe Bellusci just adds to the woes of the club. With total uncertainty with the owners position over tax problems in his native Italy is it any wonder Leeds fans are wondering when will this long running saga ever end.

The Canaries had the better of the first half and were rewarded on 59 minutes when Russell Martin headed in from a corner. Thankfully the Leeds heads did not drop and four minutes later were… Read more

Howardy's 40th Only Bright Spot

Rotherham 2 Leeds United 1

Another televised match and another defeat but at least we got to celebrate our club member Enda Howard's 40th in style. Defeat never matter to Ennislusc when we hit the town and true to form we had a mighty sing song and even Enda's friends and relations were in awe of the comradeship in our club.

Leeds dominated the first possession and opening the scoring on 30 minutes when Antenucci finished brilliantly after being played in on goal by Souleymane Doukara. However the second half was an all together different game and in truth The Millers deserved their win with goals on 58 and 65 minutes. It was only Rotherham's second league win over their more Leeds since 1962 and heaps more pressure on manager Darko Milanic in only his fourth game in the dugout.

No Goals For Nuggy To Celebrate

Leeds United 0 Reading 0

Ennislusc Secretary Paul ( Nuggy) Nihill made a five hour return journey to see his beloved Whites welcome their new manager Darko Milanic to Elland Road but unfortunately he didn't get to see a goal.Paul who is over on business,drove up to the game and on the positive side he saw a much improved performance from their dire performance on Saturday.

The Royals were the better side for much of the game and Nick Blackman went close when his low shot was pushed away by goalkeeper Marco Silvestri. United's best chance was a free-kick from defender Giuseppe Bellusci that went just over the bar. Silvestri who was the busier of the two keepers blocked Glenn Murray's header before Leeds striker Billy Sharp's low drive was held by Adam Federici. Unfortunately Billy Sharp's effort with five minutes remaining was the home side's only shot on target out… Read more

Bad Start For Darko

Brentford 2 Leeds United 0

Leeds United started life under new boss Darko Milanic with a disappointing defeat at Griffin Park where the home side had 24 shots on goal to United 13.They even had the luxury of missing a first half penalty when James Tarkowski hammered a first-half penalty over the crossbar after Jason Pearce floored Andre Gray in the area. In first half injury time Jota gave the Bees a deserved lead and ex United midfielder Jonathan Douglas played a big part in the build up.

Brentford sealed the win on 77 minutes when McCormack goal bound shot was deflected wrong-footed Silvestri but in fairness it was no more than the home side deserve.Leeds only threat on goal was a Pearce header that was well saved by Bees keeper David Button. In four games under Neil Readfearn Leeds won three and drew one but Milanic has a long… Read more

Impressive Derby Win

Leeds United 3 Huddersfield Town

Leeds's caretaker boss Neil Redfearn saw them continued their impressive form as they cruised past The Terriers to earn a third win in four games under his reign. United are expected to appoint Darko Milanic the ex Sturm Graz manager as their new boss led 2-0 at the break through Rudy Austin's strike on 19 minutes and Mirco Antenucci's close-range shot on stroke of half time.

Souleymane Doukara made it three on 69 minutes from an Austin pass and Leeds were in cruise control. United defender Gaetano Berardi saw red for a second yellow card with 17 minutes remaining but Leeds help firm for a hugely satisfying victory.

Revenge Is Sweet And Unexpected

Bournmouth 1 Leeds United 3

Earlier this year, the 25th March to be precise we were 4-0 after 51 minutes away to Bournmouth and after going a goal down after six minutes it looked like being deja vu all over again. Guiseppe Bellusci and Mirco Antenucci inspired Leeds to a second-half fightback as they moved above Bournemouth in the table. Andrew Surman curled the home side ahead but despite a host of chances they could not increase their lead.

Souleymane Doukara equalised before Bellusci sent a stunning long range free-kick into the top corner. Antenucci wrapped it up with a calm finish as caretaker boss Neil Redfearn remained unbeaten.

No Blues For United

Birmingham City 1 Leeds United 1

Alex Mowatt's 76 minute equaliser rescued a point for managerless United at St Andrews to maintain their unbeaten start under caretaker boss Neil Redfearn. The Blues led on 37 minutes when Wes Thomas fired home an angled left-foot shot for the live game on Sky. Despite all our off-field problems,United's fans remain staunchly loyal which was borne out by the 2,654 travelling supporters in an attendance of 15,266. Mowatt levelled 14 minutes from time when he score with a low left-foot shot and gave the United supporters both at the game and watching on TV some relief given our position in The Championship.

Not Pretty But Three Great Points

Leeds United 1 Bolton Wanderers 0

Caretaker Manager Neil Redfearn now in his third spell in that role at Leeds having previously stepped in after the departures of Simon Grayson and Neil Warnock must have been delighted with his charges. Despite having less possession and a stat of shots on target of 9-2 to Bolton Leeds came away wth their second home victory and move to 18th in the Championship table,

Leeds parted company with head coach Dave Hockaday on Thursday after just six games in charge but it came as know surprise Leeds supporters. Former Liverpool player and Bolton loanee Stephen Warnock gave United the lead on 17th miunutes when his low effort beat visiting keeper Adam Bogdan. Efforts by Joe Mason and Jay Spearing for Bolton went close and in injury time ex Leeds star Jermaine Beckford head straigh at the keeper when he should have done better.

Beyond Belief

Watford 4 Leeds United 1

Just when you think that things could not get any worse we get hammered at Vicarage Road,have two players sent off and then our owner threatens to sack our manager but does a U turn after sleeping on it. Being a Leeds supporters is nothing if not a roller coaster and one has to be a true White to stick with them theses days.

Watford took the lead on 20th minutes through Italian U21 International Fernando Forestieri who scored at the second attempt after Marco Silvestri saved his initial effort. Then Leeds grabbed a fortuitous equaliser on 32 minutes through an own goal which on the balance of place wasn't deserved. The turning point of the game came on 57 mins when Leeds debutant Giuseppe Bellusci took down Forestieri in the area and Troy Deeney sent Silvestri the wrong way from the spot.

After that… Read more

Back To Earth With A Bang

Leeds United 0 Brighton 2

Brighton scored their first goals and first points of the season of the season through winger Joao Teixeira and Kazenga LuaLua. The result gave former Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia his first league win as Brighton manager and consigned David Hockaday's side to the second defeat in three league games. More worry to home fans is the fact we have only score one goal in 270 plus minutes of football and the goal we scored had a large element of luck.

Brighton went in front on 6 minutes with on-loan Liverpool striker Teixeira who skipped down the right wing and shot low into the corner.This was a disaster of a goal to give away so early and put Leeds on the back foot. Ex Newcastle United striker LuaLua then made sure of victory at Elland Road with six minutes to go when he drove home a 20-yard… Read more
