Millwall 2 Leeds United 0

As Brian McDermott put it in his after match interview "If the fans see another second-half performance like we did then we're going to have a problem. We need to keep the fans with us." To say this was a dire display is a understatement and certainly has knocked the true Leeds fans for six. Many have already given up on a top six place and we are only seven weeks into the season but it's not hard to see there despair

Leeds should have gone ahead through Ross McCormack but he failed to connect with a left-wing Mowatt cross. United were punished on 65mins when Woolford's smart finish giving Leeds keeper Paddy Kenny no chance. Leeds brought on Sam Byram and Matt Smith as they searched for an equaliser, but the game was all over on 76 mins when Malone exchanged passes with Trotter to seal… Read more

Leeds United 1 Burnley 2

Another defeat for United their third in four games and second consecutive loss in five days which drops us to 9th in the table.Not the form one expect so early in the season for a team with aspirations of having a top six finish.

Sean Dyche's Clarets took a two-goal advantage into the break after Scott Arfield beat Paddy Kenny on 18 mins at his near post and ex Wolves player Sam Vokes followed up his own header to score a second on 42 mins.This gave United a uphill struggle and it was only when Matt Smith came on that we looked dangerous in attack He headed in an El-Hadji Diouf free-kick on 79 mins to give Leeds hope but the visitors held out for a deserved victory and moved to 2nd in the Championship.

Goals have been our problem and since Luciano Becchio left for… Read more

Reading 1 Leeds United 0

It was a unhappy return for Brian McDermott to the Madejski Stadium as Adam Le Fondre scored a 96th-minute winner for the Royals and leap frog Leeds in the Championship table.Le Fondre scored from Royston Drenthe's free-kick to give Nigel Adkins a win with Leeds still having never won at the home of Reading.

The chance came after United's left back Stephen Warnock received his second yellow card of the game for a trip on Le Fondre. Luke Varney wasted the best chance for United who now drop to 11th.

Bolton Wanderers 0 Leeds United 1

Striker Luke Varney headed the only goal of the game after six minutes and consigned Dougie Freedman's Bolton to their fourth successive league defeat.This was the first time Leeds had opened the scoring in a league match this season
and in a week when manager Brian McDermott ruled himself out of the Republic Of Ireland's manager job it was a super three points for the visitors.

Ex Liverpool star David Ngog went close for Bolton but found Paddy Kenny in excellent form between the sticks for Leeds. We are now in sixth place,playing some decent football and getting our back four playing as a unit who knows what this season will bring. Marching On Together

Leeds United 0 Queens Park Rangers 1

Queens Park Rangers excellent start to life back in the Championship continued with a scrappy win at Leeds. In a poor game at Elland Road Clint Hill scored his first goal in two-and-a-half years, tucking in from two yards following Joey Barton's free-kick. Barton had an early finish ruled out for offside, despite television replays appearing to show him level. Rodolph Austin nearly rescued a point for previously unbeaten Leeds in injury time, but his dipping shot hit the bar.

Next week will see some of Frankie's friends head over for a few days and no doubt reminisce and celebrate the big 50 in style. Congratulations and Best Wishes Frankie from all your friends at ENNISLUSC. MARCHING ON TOGETHER

Ipswich Town 1 Leeds United 2

When The Tractor Boys went ahead on 12 mins through David McGoldrick things didn't look good for United at Portman Road considering their dismal record there over the last twelve seasons. Leeds have only picked up one point from their previous six visits,scoring just four goals with our last victory being a 2-1 success in the Premier League in September 2001.Ipswich went ahead when Daryl Murphy flicked on Loach's clearance and McGoldrick beat Tom Lees to fire the ball home off the inside of the post. This was no more than Mick McCarthy's boys deserved having earlier having a goal ruled out for offside.

On 28 mins Luke Varney made it 1-1 after Ross McCormack's 25-yard shot rebounded into his path and he finished with aplomb.It stayed like this until HT but three minutes later that man Ross McCormack struck his third goal of the season.… Read more

Following the televised game vs Sheffield Wednesday last Saturday the club held their Annual AGM. Secretary Paul Nihill outlined some of the highlights of the year and the success of the 3rd running of The Mike Mac Golf Classic. This was followed by Treasurer Johnny Moroney who said the finances were in a very healthy state and that €2,000 would be going to Cahercalla Hospice following the golf classic. All outgoing officers were elected en block and then it was open to the floor for questions.

The question of new club gear was raised and it was proposed that we check out the cost of polo tops and rain gear with a view to the club subsidizing them. It was proposed that the club's first trip would be to the Middlesboro game on Saturday 23rd Nov as the new Ryanair route from Liverpool would be running on Sunday evenings for the… Read more

Leeds United 1 Sheffield Wednesday 1

Scottish International Ross McCormack once again came to the rescue of United with a stunning individual goal on 58 mins. Ross has scored 31 goals in 112 games for Leeds since joining from Cardiff in August 2010 and has been the subject of three failed bids from Middlesboro in the last three weeks. On this showing it's imperative that we keep him and Brian McDermott is adamant he wants him to stay, let's hope the board feel likewise.

The Owels collected their first point of the season and could have taken all three against Leeds but for two superb saves by Paddy Kenny.
They went ahead on 37 mins when defender Kamil Zayatte's headed home following a corner but then came Ross's moment of magic. Three games down and still undefeated but Brian McDermott will be concerned that we went behind for the third time… Read more

Once again Leeds are live on Sky Sports 1 tomorrow for the local derby vs Sheffield Wednesday KO 12.15pm. After the game the AGM on Ennislusc will take place with the usual election of officers, discussion on the previous years events and of course the proposed trips for this season.

Our esteemed secretary Paul Nihill has indicated that the Yeovil (Nov 2nd) and the Middlesboro (Nov 23rd) games seem to be our best options so we will go with the general conscious of the meeting. Looking forward to seeing all our existing members and intended members tomorrow for what should be a fiery derby game.

Leicester City 0 Leeds United 0

With both teams having won their opening fixtures this game could see the winners going top of the table but alas it was a dour stalemate with Brian McDermott being the happier manager. The 2-1 victory over Watford on the final day of last season is Leeds's only away league win in 2013 and if they are to challenge for promotion this statistic has to improve drastically.

The Foxes finished stronger and striker Chris Wood's shot on 82 mins came back off the Leeds post.Leeds substitute Matt Smith did give the home side a late scare when his far post header was tipped against the side-netting by ex United keeper Kasper Schmeichel. However the stat of only two shots being on target in the whole game ( both to Leicester) tells it's own story of this fixture. Never the less two games down ,undefeated and four… Read more

Leeds United 2 Brighton 1

Leeds £1m summer signing from Crew Alexandra,Luke Murphy grabbed a 93rd minute winner on his debut as United came from behind to beat Brighton & Hove Albion in the opening fixture of 120th season of the Football League. The Whites have won their first league game in all-but two of the last 10 seasons now and have scored on the opening day in the last 13 campaigns. Leo Ulloa put the Seagulls ahead on 13 mins when Tom Lees failed to cut out Andrew Crofts's and he made no mistake from eight yards.

Last season's top scorer Ross McCormack pulled the sides level on 19th mins when he finished neatly after Michael Tonge and Luke Varney combined to set him up.Paddy Kenny was forced into a stunning double save to deny Crofts and Inigo Calderon in the second half before Poleon and Paul Green wasted… Read more

Last Monday evening Ennislusc member Tan Greene from Sixmilebridge had the honour of leading out Leeds United in their friendly with Shelbourne at Tolka Park. His dad Kevin a staunch Leeds fan and Ennislusc member was there also and they met all the players with Irish International Noel Hunt giving Tan his jersey after the game.

This all came about through the links Kevin forged with the Leeds United Academy who held a two day coaching course in Sixmilebridge in July. As a result of Kevin's determination a number of young players will be going to Torp Arch for a coaching course and Colm O Loughlin from Avenue Utd is already at the Academy.

With connections now set in stone with Terry Potter and his coaching team it's hoped in the future that many more young players from Clare and beyond will be give a opportunity to shoe case their skills… Read more

Well it seems like the season has only just ended and more so as we face Brighton tomorrow at Ellland Road having played them our last home game of the season on 27th April which unfortunately ended in a 1-2 defeat. With 31,000 tickets already sold there should be a super atmosphere for Brian McDermott boys and new signings Noel Hunt,Luke Murphy and Matt Smith sure to start.

Unfortunately El-Hadji Diouf and Rudy Austin are both ruled out with suspension while Sam Byram is out with a hip injury. It is vital we get off to a good start and facing a play off team from last season is a tough asked first day out but there are no easy games in The Championship as us long suffering Whites know too well. Marching On Together

Last season may be just over but the fixtures for 2013/14 came out this morning and the buzz plus anticipation for the new season has already begun.

Watford 1 Leeds United 2

New Leeds manager Brian McDermott who was winning promotion with Reading this time last year will be pleased his mid-table Leeds side arrived with the commitment and desire to play their part in the final day permutations.They showed a desire that we haven't seen in quite a while to eek out a unlikely victory at high flying Watford's Vicarage Road and end they table in 13th position while denying The Hornets automatic promotion.

Dominic Poleon put Leeds in front on 42mins but Almen Abdi levelled on the stroke of half time with a brilliant shot from 20 yards.The game then took a dramatic turn when Watford's Troy Deeney t saw red for two bookable offences before news of a late Cardiff equaliser at Hull left the Hornets needing a goal to go up.Leeds finished off their promotion dreams when Aiden White broke clear and fed Ross McCormack… Read more

Leeds United 1 Brighton 2

On a day when three Ennislusc members (Marty Brennan, Bryan Woods and Kevin Greene) were in attendance at Elland Road indiscipline cost the home side dearly. After only 8 mins Randolph Austin was sent off for a foul on Ashley Barnes and two minutes later a weak back pass from Tom Lees allowed Will Buckley the simplest of chances to score.Ross McCormack had Leeds two best chances of the first half with a half volley and a shot just over the crossbar.

On 74 mins Leeds got back in the game from the penalty spot when El-Hadji Diouf was chopped down in the area by Inigo Calderon.He was shown the red card and Diouf dusted himself off to score the resultant penalty.However a red mist descended on him as he ran fifty yards to make a gesture to the Brighton fans and was shown a straight red… Read more

Birmingham City 1 Leeds United 0

Hayden Mullins scored on his 550th league appearance and hand Leeds boss Brian McDermott his first loss in three games. Mullins scored on 71st minute after Paddy Kenny could only parry Nathan Redmond's effort. Up to then Leeds looked the better team but lacked a cutting edge up front and have done so since the departure of Becchio to Norwich in January.

Ross McCormack did hit the woodwork for United with a free kick and Jack Butland brilliantly tipped over Michael Tonge's 20-yard strike. Leeds are mathematically safe and can now plan ahead for the new season.

Jamaican International Rodolph Austin scored his first goal since September as Leeds picked up their second win in four days under new manager Brian McDermott. Austin ran on to El-Hadji Diouf's through ball on 62 mins to shoot home past Burnley keeper Lee Grant.Ross McCormack saw a volley saved on a day where Burnley manager Sean Dyche said "Leeds showed their experience and that's interesting because the same group of players weren't playing like that two weeks ago because I saw them.

A second straight Championship win lifts Leeds up tp 11th in the table with three games to play.Now it's all about finishing with a flourish and kicking on for next season. MOT
