Leeds United 2 Sheffield United 0

Leeds produced a brilliant performance to beat The Blades who have up to now being undefeated in the league. Both sides paid poignant tribute to former Blades defender George Baldock before the match after his sudden death at the age of 31 last week. The home side started the game well with Ramazani hitting the outside of the post from a tight angle after a good run from midfield by Joe Rothwell. Aaronson twice went close in the final five minutes of the half but it remained level at half time.

The deadlock was broken on 69 minutes when Struijk got across his marker and blasted in Rothwell's corner as Wilder's side conceded for the first time after six successive clean sheets. This lifted the roof at Elland Road with the home crowd in full voice. Incidentally it was also a first set-piece goal… Read more

Sunderland 2 Leeds United 2

An unbelievable error in the 96 minute by Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier handed Championship leaders Sunderland a last-gasp draw at the Stadium of Light. With the final phase of play in injury time Meslier somehow allowed a harmless punt from Republic Of Ireland international substitute Alan Browne to slip through his grasp and roll into the net. Browne was outside the box and from a knock on just lobbed the ball into the area which Meslier let bounce and only he knows what happened next. To say it was a shocking error is an understatement which cost Leeds top spot in The Championship going into the international break.

The Black Cats got off to a terrific start on nine minutes in front of a a bumper home support of 41,769. Full back Trai Hume got to the end line and his excellent cross was… Read more

Norwich City 1 Leeds United 1

Leeds started the game in a very determined fashion considering The Canaries had been unbeaten at Carrow Road in their previous 18 league games. However on 15 minutes the visitors were undone when Ante Crnac found American International Josh Sargent and he was brought down by Rodon's trailing leg with the referee pointing to the spot.Sargent tucked home past Illan Meslier's despairing dive to net the first league goal Leeds have conceded on the road this season. This setback seemed to drive Leeds on and a superb effort from Wilfried Gnonto hit the base of the post with goalkeeper Angus Gunn rooted to the spot. Leeds injury woes suffered another setback on 20 minutes when Bulgarian international Ilia Gruev limped off and was replaced by Bournemouth loanee Joe Rothwell.

Just before half-time Leeds had a lucky escape when Callum Doyle cross forced a miss kick… Read more

Leeds United 3 Coventry City 0

Leeds who had only won one of their three previous home league games this season completely dominated The Sky Blues from the the first whistle but as is our big problem we had only one first half goal to show for this dominance. This goal came on 16 minutes when Junior Firpo played in Gnonto who finished brilliantly. City failed to register a single goal attempt in the first half and had it not been for a man-of-the-match display by keeper Ben Wilson Leeds would have been out of sight at half time.

Thankfully four minutes into the second half Leeds fans nerves were eased when Jayden Bogle finishing impeccably after playing a one-two with Ramazani. The points were secured on 79 minutes when Piroe who has only started one league game this term but has now scored in three of his last four appearances… Read more

Cardiff City 0 Leeds United 2

There were very moving scenes before and during the game as both teams and their supporters paid tribute to Sol Bamba the former Cardiff and Leeds captain who died last month aged just 39. On 23 minutes the Bluebirds were dealt a huge blow when Joel Bagan was sent off for a foul on Wilfried Gnonto which the referee deemed to have denied a goalscoring opportunity. Seven minutes later Leeds opened the scoring when Largie Ramazani beat Cardiff goalkeeper Jak Alnwick with an excellent finish. Were it not for Alnwicks heroics in goal Leeds would have been out of sight.

He saved a poorly taken penalty in the second half from Pascal Struijk and our scoring record from the spot over the last 18 months is abysmal. Three minutes from time Joel Piroe put the game to bed with an excellent left footed finish.… Read more

Leeds United 0 Burnley 1

Ennislusc took a road trip to Clare hurling legend Anthony Daly's Murty Brownes pub in West Clare to watch the game live on Sky Sports while also celebrating the clubs ex President Liam Jones 70th birthday. Unfortunately the result didn't go our way but the travelling crew had a very enjoyable day and evening ! Leeds bossed possession and territory throughout a fiery match and should have led inside a minute when Mateo Joseph shot wide when clean through. It was a frustrating afternoon for Farke's men who dominated possession in the first half and had 72 per cent overall but were frustrated by a resolute Burnley defence.

Leeds did have claims for a penalty in the first half when Joe Worrall's tackle from behind won the ball but could easily have resulted in a spot-kick.On 18 minutes Burnley took the lead completely against the… Read more

Leeds United 2 Hull City 0

Two wins in a row in two Yorkshire fixtures certainly had the Elland Road crowd singing at the end but it was not all plain sailing against a determined Hull side. The home side dominated in a dour first half with their only attempt on target being a 20-yard Ilia Gruev effort that was well saved. It took until 63rd minute to settle the nerves of the sell out home crowd. Manor Solomon who's on loan from Spurs and was very effective on the wing played a ball to the near post for Mateo Joseph to slot home.

On 81 minutes the points were secured and the crowd could enjoy the remaining minutes when Joseph and Junior Firpo combined brilliantly to tee up Joel Piroe to slot home. While not as impressive as the Wednesday game the points were all that mattered and Leeds… Read more

Sheffield Wednesday 0 Leeds United 2

In a hotly anticipated Yorkshire derby goals from US International Brenden Aaronson and Dan James gave Leeds a deserved victory over The Owels at Hillsborough. It was a much needed win for Daniel Farke after a stuttering start to the season. Leeds took the lead on 24 minutes when Aaronson, w slotted past keeper James Beadle after great work by Firpo and Joseph. On the stroke of half time Leeds nearly doubled their lead when James was just unable to get to Firpo's low cross from the left with a goal at his mercy.

Leeds got off to a superb start to the second half scoring after just three minutes. Once again Joseph who had a superb game played a brilliant ball to Dan James who flew past the full back and slotted home impressively. In truth Wednesday struggled to create clear-cut chances and never… Read more

West Bromwich Albion 0 Leeds United 0

This game is best forgotten with only two efforts on goal from both sides in the entire ninety minutes of what was a forgettable game. I'm sure many Sky viewers switched channels and certainly didn't show the Championship in a good light. Dutch striker Joel Piroe came in for Brighton bound Georginio Rutter but he was totally ineffective. The nearest Leeds got to score in a dour first half was when defender Pascal Struijk had a header from Ilia Gruev's cross deflected just wide.

It took until the 50th minute to see the first shot on target when The Baggies Jayson Molumby fired a right-foot shot from the edge of the box straight at Leeds keeper Illan Meslier. Late in the game Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu's header from Gruev's free-kick was saved with easy by keeper Alex Palmer. One can say the fans didn't… Read more

Leeds United 3 Portsmouth 3

In what was a truly dominant display for the home side it's beyond belief that we were lucky to equalise in injury time and unbelievably should then have won the game except from an extraordinary miss by Brenden Aaronson. Leeds got off to a super start when Pascal Struijk scored from the spot after Daniel James was brought down. However Pompey levelled on 23 minutes through Elias Sorensen. With four minutes to the half time whistle Pompey stunned the home crowd when Callum Lang shot home from outside the box and all Leeds fans were wondering how could this be so.

What a start the home side had to the second half as they were back on level terms within a minute. Gnonto picked up the ball just inside the Pompey half and made a run into the box before slotting home beyond keeper Will… Read more

With the season kicking off this weekend and Leeds at home to Portsmouth we can take a look at our sales since the end of last season. Unfortunately it doesn't make great reading but that's the cost of not getting promotion. Hopefully we'll bring in some new signings but so far it's been very slow on the transfer in market. Still we believe in Farke !

Southampton 1 Leeds United 0

It has taken me a few days to compose myself after another very disappointing day out at Wembley. It's now four play off finals losses for Leeds and on the last three occasions they were at footballs holy grail they have failed to score which is shocking to say the least. It was another very disappointing performance for Farke's men and for the 35,000 Leeds fans in attendance.

The all important goal came on 24 minutes when Adam Armstrong with a superb finish after being put clear by an immaculate through ball from Will Smallbone. Three times Leeds have played The Saints this season, losing all three and Adam Armstrong scoring in all three games. The nearest Leeds came to scoring was when substitute Dan James crashed a shot against the crossbar and despite 12 minutes of injury time The Saints prevailed. The £140M game… Read more

Leeds United 4 Norwich City 0

In our wildest dreams no Leeds supporter could have predicted the scoreline at Elland Road in the 2nd leg of the play off semi final vs The Canaries. After a drab first leg Leeds were like a side reborn and gave one of their best performances of the entire season to book their place at Wembley on Sunday 26th May. From start to finish Elland Road was rocking and although this is only a stepping stone to return to The Premiership it certainly will instill great confidence for the final.

Leeds started as if they were well up for the game and took the lead on seven minutes. Centre half Joe Rodon was fouled 25 yards from goal and Gruev's free kick deceived Scotland International goalkeeper Angus Gunn who had been expecting a cross. On twenty minutes the home side increased their lead when… Read more

Norwich City 0 Leeds United 0

This first leg play off game at Carrow Road was a drab affair with little chances and both teams seemed content to settle for a draw. Whether it was nerves or the tense situation given what was at stake this certainly will go down as a dire game. Following the International break both sides had poor finishes to the season especially Leeds who looked odds on for promotion given their form before the break. Norwich won just two of their final seven league games scraping into sixth position while Leeds managed just two wins in eight to blow their chances of going up automatically.

It was a forgettable game and while Leeds had a penalty shout early on turned down when Gnoto was pulled down by Nunez the less said about the game the better. At least defensively Leeds were excellent except for a… Read more

Leeds United 1 Southampton 2

What a disastrous end to the season for Farke and his boys. Now it's the dreaded play offs with Norwich City away on Sunday 12th May in the 1st leg at Carrow Road. Leeds went out with a whimper today and on this recent form one can honestly say we will not be a threat on present form. Leeds went into the game knowing they had to win and Ipswich lose to all-but relegated Huddersfield to secure automatic promotion. However even the most optimistic Leeds supporter never doubted that The Tractor Boys would win but they certainly thought Leeds would put the pressure on with a home win. Alas not to be.

On 18 minutes The Saints went ahead when Adams picked up the ball 20 yards out after a corner and crossed for Armstrong to convert from eight yards.
However three minutes late Leeds were level… Read more

It was with deep shock and sadness that on Wednesday last, news filtered through of the passing of our great friend and ex President of Ennislusc Joe ( Josie) Hester. I had only met Josie in The Market a few weeks back outside O Connor's Newsagents as he collected his weekly Clare Champion and the Connaught Tribune. A proud native of Mayo most of us got to know Josie in St Flannan's College where he taught French, and was well liked by all the students that had the pleasure of having him as a teacher. Indeed in my time in St Flannan's I had no idea that Josie was an avid Leeds supporter and was a mine of history on the club. It was only years later his great friend and teaching colleague the late John Finn said to me that Josie would like to join the supporters club.

I… Read more

Queens Park Rangers 4 Leeds United 0

Leeds went to Loftus Road knowing a win would put them four points ahead of Ipswich all be with two more games played but they just capitulated and were deservedly trashed. Now they require Hull and Coventry to do them a big favour vs Ipswich and bring it down to the last game of the season.This is certainly clutching at straws in my opinion.The home side took the lead inside the opening 10 minutes through a moment of brilliance from Ilias Chair. The Moroccan shot from the edge of the area took a deflection off Joe Rodon and left Illan Meslier stranded.

Hoops goalkeeper Asmir Begovic made big saves to deny Joel Piroe and Crysencio Summerville but twelve minutes later The R's doubled their lead. Lucas Anderson hit a rasping shop from the left side of the area and well beyond a diving… Read more

Middlesbrough 3 Leeds United 4

Leeds got off to the worst possible start when Boro scored after seven minutes when Isaiah Jones finished after a terrible defensive mix up. Farke's men responded quickly when seven minutes later Crysencio Summerville ( Championship Player Of The Year) scored from the spot after a clumsy foul by Anfernee Dijksteel on Georginio Rutter. And four minutes later Leeds hit the front when Patrick Bamford chested home Junior Firpo's brilliant cross from the left. This was the tonic Leeds needed but it was the home side who were exerting all the pressure and deservedly equalised on the half hour mark.

A superb right footed strike from 18 yards by Emmanuel Latte Lath gave Meslier no chance and Boro were level. On 38 minutes Leeds hit the front once again when Willy Gnonto finished well after being played in by Summerville. However if VAR was in… Read more

Leeds United 0 Blackburn Rovers 1

Leeds suffered a shock defeat, their first of the year in The Championship to relegation threatened Blackburn Rovers. The home side started well with Rovers keeper Pears keeping out first-half strikes from Willy Gnonto and Connor Roberts. Midfielder Ilia Gruev missed a great chance when heading wide of the near post after good work on the left by Crysencio Summerville. Irish International Sammy Szmodics nearly put Rovers ahead five minutes before the break when he intercepted a shocking back pass from Crysencio Summerville but Meslier made an excellent save.

Leeds had only drawn with Sunderland four days previously at Elland Road and shockingly had only one shot on target in the whole game. They seemed on edge for the whole game and never showed the fluency one associates with them so it was no wonder Rovers scored against the run of play. Pears saved… Read more

Leeds United 0 Sunderland 0

On a very frustrating night for Leeds they failed to break down a very stubborn Black Cats defence despite having 69 per cent possession but unfortunately had only one shot on target. This from a team that's unbeaten at home this season and has scored 44 goals in 20 home games. It's like the pressure has got to the players and following on from the Coventry defeat there was surprisingly no major uplift from the team at a packed Elland Road.

Sunderland have only won one of their last 10 matches and beat Leeds earlier in the season so this was always going to be a sticky fixture for Farke's boys. The only talking point of the first half was when Leeds felt they deserved a penalty when Dan Ballard leaned his elbow toward Crysencio Summerville's effort from the edge of the box but without… Read more
