Wolves 2 Leeds United 2

Full back Danny Batth's first league goal saw Wolves snatch a dramatic late point at Molineux with a 93rd minute equalizer and keep the club just above the Championship's relegation zone.
The defender's later header was a huge setback for Leeds boss Neil Warnock in his late bid for a play-off place. And it didn't start very well for United with a own goal by Lee Peltier on 57mins putting Wolves in front, only for Leeds to go ahead thanks to goals by Luke Varney on 64mins and a penalty from Ross McCormack on 78 mins.

However Wolves late late show was a kick in the teeth for Leeds and now leaves them in 11th position and 5 points off the play offs with games running out.The galling thing for United fans is that we should have beaten both Cardiff and Wolves in our last two… Read more

Leeds United 0 Cardiff City 1

Leeds last defeated Cardiff with a 1-0 away victory in the old Second Division in February 1984, five months after achieving a similar result at Elland Road so yesterday's result was no shock to United fans. New signing Fraizer Campbell scored the winner for Cardiff following a mistake by Sam Byram,described by manager Neil Warnock as a schoolboy error. David Marshall made two good saves in either half to deny Ross Barkley and Tom Lees a share of the spoils for Leeds.

Leeds United 1 Bristol City 0

The only positives out of today's game were the three points, Ross McCormack scoring and United making it six wins in a row at home. So why all the doom and gloom I hear you say. Well this was a game to forget football wise and certainly doesn't inspire confidence as the fans showed once again by booing as the team trudged off the field at half time.

Bristol who are routed to the bottom of the table and had a new manager of three days ( ex Forest boss Sean O Driscoll) and certainly deserved a share of the spoils. Today there were only 18,000 at Elland Road and if they continue to see this type of drivel they will stay away in their thousands. And if Lucciano Becchio joins Wigan in the January transfer window as the rumour mill has it then this… Read more

Barnsley 2 Leeds United 0

Two second half goals from striker Chris Dagnall saw manager-less Barnsley shock Yorkshire rivals Leeds at Oakwell. As Eddie Gray said in his after match comments this was one of the worst displays he ever witnessed from a Leeds X1. Couple that with the 5,000 Leeds fans chanting "Time to go!"at Neil Warnock and that about sums up the frustration of all White supporters at present.

A dominant performance from bottom of the table Barnsley was rewarded when Chris Dagnall scored a penalty after he was fouled by full back Sam Byram on on 63 mins. Byram who up to now was having a super season for Leeds was once again at fault three minutes later as Dagnall tormented the young full back. He cut in from the wing left Byram for dead and beat Paddy Kenny with a tremendous shot from twelve yards. Everton's Ross Barkley… Read more

Today is a very special day in the life of one of our staunches members, Bryan Woods who tonight celebrates his 40th birthday with a party in Johnno's Pub in Doora. All his friends at Ennislusc wish him sincere congratulations and hope he has a super night. Marching On Together no doubt will be sung during the evening.

Leeds United 1 Bolton Wanderers 0

The less said about this first fixture of the New Year the better other than Warnock's boys came away with a valuable three points thanks to a Lucciano Becchio spot kick on 66 mins. Ex Man United midfielder Chris Eagles hit the outside of the post early on for Bolton and the winger then forced Leeds goalkeeper Paddy Kenny into a good save from distance on the half hour.

Ross McCormack who had a quite game overall was brought down in the box by Bolton full back Tyrone Mears and the referee immediately signaled a penalty. Who better to take the kick than leading scorer Becchio and he sent Bolton goalkeeper Adam Bogdan the wrong way from the spot. While this won't have Leeds fans dreaming of a top six spot at least it arrested our losing streak and now we have another home game vs… Read more

Hull City 2 Leeds United 0

Hull moved within two points of Championship leaders Cardiff with a comfortable victory over Yorkshire rivals Leeds United. The Tigers dominated from start to finish against a lackluster Leeds side who barely managed an effort on goal over the entire 90 mins.Neil Warnock made five changes from the team defeated by Forest on St Stephen's Day,giving David Somma his first start 1n 19 months. However the changes failed to have the desired effect and Leeds gave one of their poorest performance of the season with Somma being replaced at half time by Luke Varney.

Despite all their dominance The Tigers had to wait until the 52nd min to take a deserved lead when Corry Evans drilled a low angled shot from 15 yards into the corner of the net with Paddy Kenny well beaten. On loan Sunderland and ex Irish U21 International David Meyler headed… Read more

Nottingham Forest 4 Leeds United 2

Leeds conceded three kamikaze goals in seven second-half minutes at the City Grounds and giving Forest their first win over United since 1996. Despite this victory for Forest who had won only won of their previous five games they sacked manager Sean O Driscoll hours after the game. No sentiment in sport !

United went ahead on 12 mins when Jerome Thomas crossed for Irish Inyernational Paul Green to tap in from a yard.

However disaster struck on 44 mins when Tom Lees felled Billy Sharp in the area and he then sent Paddy Kenny the wrong way from the spot to give Forest a huge boast just before half time.Then some comical defending put pay to Leeds hope of moving into the top six when Billy Sharpe scored his second on 54 mins and Leeds midfielder Randolph Austin sliced into his own net. To compound… Read more

Leeds United 2 Middlesbrough 1

Neil Warnock made three changes from the side that was defeated by Arsenal in the Capital Cup with Paddy Kenny, Alan Tate, and David Norris coming back into the first eleven for the tough fixture with Tony Mowbery's Boro side. It also marked the return of former Leeds great Jonathan Woodgate to Elland Road as part of the Boro back four.

Boro started brightly and took the lead on 30 mins through Lukas Jutkiewicz whose shot was initially saved by Paddy Kenny before he scored with a follow-up via a deflection. Then on the stroke of half time Lucciano Becchio equalised with a half-volley for his 16th goal of the season after a mix up in the Boro defence.

Then on 73 mins Becchio headed in a Diouf corner which proved to be the winner and sent the 25,000 crowd into a frenzy.The victory came a… Read more

On Wednesday evening Leeds play Chelsea in the Qr-Final of the Capital Cup at Elland Road and it's live on Sky Sports with KO at 19.45. What makes this tie most interesting for Ennislusc fans is that the Chelsea supporters also meet in Moroneys so one can only imagine the banter on the night.

Ennis Chelsea Supporters Chairman Jim McMahon has been rallying his troops and while they will be firm favourites on the night they will earn it to out shout Ennislusc who have over 60 members in the club. At the end of the night win lose or draw it will be handshakes all round and the obligatory sing song. We'll definately win that hands down :-) Marching On Together

Leeds United 2 Ipswich Town 0

Leeds moved to within four points of the Championship play-off places as they defeated Mike McCarthy's Ipswich Town. The Tractor Boys had won their previous three league games so came to Elland Road on a high but it was United who prevailed to win their 1,500 game since joining the football league in 1919. On-loan Jerome Thomas from WBA scored the first goal on 19 mins when he flicked the ball past Stephen Henderson following Tom Lees flick-on from El-Hadji Diouf's corner. Dioufy had signed a 18 month contract on Friday and got a great reception from the home fans as he's becoming a firm favourite after many doubted the wisdom of signing him last July.

On 68 mins Paul Green who has really come into his own in the last 5 games doubled Leeds's lead, firing in from a Thomas pass after he had been… Read more

Derby County 3 Leeds United 1

Derby gained their second victory in six games as they ended Leeds three-match winning run. Ex Irish U 21 International Conor Sammon put The Rams ahead on 16 mins when he shot past United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny following an excellent run from 17-year-old midfielder and Man Of Match Will Hughes. Ex Derby player and captain for the day, Paul Green equalised on the stroke of half time flicking into the net after Luciano Becchio's knock-down.

But Derby scored their second on 66mins when Becchio's weak header fell to Keogh and his shot was steered in by team-mate Buxton. Leeds nearly grabbed a second equaliser but Lees hit the inside of the post from a excellent cross from substitute El-Hadji Diouf. Substitute Davies sealed the victory for the Rams in the 4th min of injury time shooting home from the edge of the penalty area and… Read more

Huddersfield City 2 Leeds United 4

Following two great wins in the last seven days Neil Warnock made one change from the starting eleven with Ross McCormack starting in place of Diouf. This was the first West Yorkshire derby between the two sides in the second tier for 25 years and it was a all ticket game.It took a double salvo from Luciano Becchio gave Leeds a deserved victory in an action-packed Yorkshire derby at Huddersfield.

The Terriers went ahead on 12 mins from Chris Atkinson but Leeds hit back with two goals in two minutes from Michael Tonge and Becchio. United were gifted an equaliser on 35 mins when Huddersfield keeper Alex Smithies somehow let Tonges 18-yard effort squirm under his body.Then Ross McCormack set up Becchio who hit a super shot from just inside the area up into the top left hand corner of Smithies net. Town equalised on… Read more

Leeds United 1 Leicester City 0

Luciano Becchio's third-minute penalty was enough to earn a second successive home victory for United.Teenager sensation Sam Byram was fouled inside the box by Jeff Schlupp after a neat bit of skill and Becchio sent ex United goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way from the spot.
Schmeichel denied United a second when he made a spectacular save from Paul Green.

The Foxes dominated the possession stats with 55 percent and went close when Martyn Waghorn hit the bar with a brilliant first-half strike but that was as close as they came to denying Leeds a deserved three points. It was great to get the win against one of our bogey team with Neil Warnock sticking with the same starting X1 as played Palace.

A minute's applause was held before kick-off to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of former midfielder great Gary Speed. He would… Read more

Leeds United 2 Crystal Palace 1

Leeds marked their first game since being bought by GFH Capital by ending Ian Holloway's Eagles unbeaten 14-game league run at Elland Road in what was Ennislusc first club trip of the season. It also turned out to be a super day for our own Leon Quirke who had backed Leeds to win 2-1 with Becchio scoring at odds of 45-1.Good on you Leon and thanks for the drinks. Neil Warnock included new loan signings Alan Tate from Swansea and Jerome Thomas from WBA and they certainly added the missing ingredient to ignite United as both had storming games.

Wilfried Zaha the hottest property in The Championship was well shackled by 19 yr old Sam Byram who had a super game. United had Paddy Kenny to thank for a brilliant double save in the first half to keep Leeds from going in behind at half… Read more

Tomorrow morning at 7am 13 members from Ennislusc will board the EIN 3600 to Manchester on the first leg of their journey on their way to Elland Road for Saturday's fixture vs table toppers Crystal Palace. When this fixtures was chosen back in August it was never envisaged that The Eagles would be top of the table with Leeds down in lowly 18th position but unfortunately that's the scenario. There are also three members flying over from Dublin on Saturday morning for the game so we'll be well represented at Elland Road on our 23rd trip. Marching On Together

Millwall 1 Leeds United 0

The rot continues for Leeds with now only one win in the last nine league games and now we are being dragged into a relegation fight.Chris Wood scored the only goal of the game on 85 mins for Millwall as they beat 10-man Leeds in a tense encounter at The Den. After a goalless and poor opening half Leeds Luke Varney was dismissed on 48mins for an elbow on Adam Smith.While Neil Warnock was very upset over the dismissal in his post match conference I suggest he reviews the video as in my opinion it was a straight red and cannot see it being reduced to a yellow card status as he wishes.

Millwall dominated thereafter with Wood going close with a long drive and James Henry also spurning a fine chance. Leeds created few chances throughout and on this form with games coming up vs… Read more

Leeds United 1 Watford 6

United slumped to an embarrassing home defeat and are now without a win in six league games after Watford scored six goals at Elland Road. Neil Warnock's side finished with nine men after Jason Pearce was dismissed in first half injury time and Rodolph Austin broke his leg in two places on 50mins after Leeds had used three substitutes.

Watford's goals came form Matej Vydra (2), Almen Abdi, Mark Yeates, Sean Murray and Troy Deeney.
Leeds salvaged a small consolation through Michael Tonge's penalty. The takeover by a Middle East-based private equity group is expected to be completed imminently with the deal with GFH Capital believed to be worth in the region of £44M.

The sooner this goes through the better although our season looks over now as barring a miracle we won't make the top six. And as if to compound matters Michael Browne and Jason… Read more

Burnley 1 Leeds United 0

Burnley striker Charlie Austin scored his 20th goal of the season to seal a win over a disappointing Leeds. Austin has scored 16 times in his last 11 matches headed a late winner at Turf Moor to seal a second straight win for new manager Sean Dyche. Leeds are now without a win in their last five league matches and drop into the bottom half of the Championship.

Paddy Kenny made a superb early double save, first keeping out Ross Wallace's 20-yard shot at full stretch and then blocking Dean Marney's follow-up.Leeds best chance fell to El-Hadji Diouf who spurned a gilt-edged chance when he dragged wide from 12 yards after 30 minutes. And Aidy White should have done better on the hour when he missed a easier chance.

Then United paid for their spurned chances when former Swindon striker Austin broke the deadlock on minutes… Read more

Brighton and Hove Albion 2 Leeds United 2

Leeds goalkeeper Paddy Kenny saved a 74th-minute penalty to deny Craig Mackail-Smith a hat-trick and give Neil Warnock side a point the hardly desreved. Mackail-Smith the scourge of United (prior to this evenings game he'd scored against us 6 times in five appearances) opened the scoring from the penalty spot on 16 mins after Leeds captain Lee Peltier brought down Will Buckley. No question it was a penalty and shortly after the striker hit the post with Kenny beaten all ends up.

Brighton's centre half Bruno fouled Luke Varney on 37 mins and the ref pointed to the spot which was harsh to say the least.Up stepped El-Hadji Diouf and he made no mistake with his effort to put Leeds back on level terms. Then on 48mins that man again Mackail-Smith scored his second with a effort from 12 yds that took a… Read more
