Leeds Utd - Returning Leeds To The Promise Land

[jameslufc]

Looking good there mate, as a Leeds fan I would love to see you get promoted. Any chance you can post your tactics? I'm having a mare on my Leeds save losing most weeks so would like to see what you've done. Cheers.

Thanks mate, the tactic was on the tactic sections of this site called 4231Simple and i made just a few simple changes from it including having a target man instead upfront and i think instead of a standard tempo we go for attacking.

Any chance you could post a screenshot of your tactics and team instructions please? I've been tweaking with a 4-2-3-1 but not having much luck - 20th after 12 games and conceded 24 goals! Thanks.

Ulloa has another poor game but we have Aarons to thank for grabbing us a point as we come from behind twice in this game thanks to goals from him including an 89th minute equalizer.

What a match to grab your first goals of the season as Lee Erwin starts his first game of the season and scores within the opening 6 minutes before sealing the win with a 75th minute penalty.

Ulloa is still yet to find his feet with us but the man who replaced him fellow loanee Clinton N'Jie came off the bench to net the only goal of a very close game.

Dont ask me why but Ulloa was no longer cup tied and he finally put in the performance i was hoping for as he grabbed a quick brace right before half time after Cook had already netted early on as we beat yet another Premier League side showing were we truly belong!

Did you sign Ulloa after the original tie? If so, that's why he couldn't play.

Leeds V Fulham

View attachment 196474

10 game unbeaten run lasting for over 2 months, flying in the Cup and then all of a sudden Fulham come along and dismantle us inside half an hour, this was a crazy first half with all 6 goals coming in the opening 32 minutes of the game.

Unbeaten Run Over

View attachment 196473

I couldnt believe my eyes when i saw he was still available as a player so i snapped up the Legend Roberto Carlos on a free transfer as backup for Charlie Taylor my only proper left back

Brighton V Leeds

View attachment 196470

Hopefully a new Unbeaten run is set to begin as we manage to just about beat Brighton 2-1 with Ulloa netting twice not long after they had a player sent off, they managed to get one back in the second half but it wasnt enough to catch us.

League Table

Despite the slight hiccup of losing to Fulham are recent form has been incredible especially with Hull slipping up and we now top the table on goal difference and have a game in hand.
Our first priority has been complete as we are now mathematically save from Relegation and can now look forward to confirming a spot in at least the play offs.

Birmingham V Leeds

View attachment 196467

Ulloa all of a sudden cant stop scoring as he gets the opener before winger Stuart Dallas grabs the second! The whole squad has been amazing for me so far with the players i know from before like Byram, Mowatt and Cook playing well but its the ones i have never heard of that have done so well for me like Taylor, Sloth and Stuart Dallas whos fast becoming our best player this season.

Leeds V Bolton

View attachment 196466

It was a crazy first half with 7 of the 8 goals scored before half time, we were 3-0 up early on before they netted one back, we then had Ulloa score in the 35th minute before they grabbed one back in the same minute, Dallas grabbed the 5th goal only 2 minutes late before they got there 3rd deep into the second half.

Mowatt out for 4 weeks

Wish this youth intake player was a little better with the lovely name **** Dunkley

View attachment 196463

My best youth intake player just so happens to be a LB, if i had known i would be getting him a week ago i wouldnt have brought in Roberto Carlos.

Cardiff V Leeds

View attachment 196461

After a slow start to his Leeds career Ulloa has now netted in 6 games on the bounce, before Doukara grabs a rare second, hes barely got a look in in recent months after being so key to our early season form.

Brighton V Leeds

View attachment 196311

Well i just dont know what happened here! Maybe we got too big for our own boots and thought we could just turn up and win this match after beating Premier League sides Watford and Sunderland in previous rounds but we ended up being on the wrong side of a thrashing.

Blackburn V Leeds

View attachment 196310

A bit of Cup hangover maybe? As we get comfortably beaten by Blackburn and it was all one sided as despite conceding 3 goals our keeper got a 9 star rating thanks to so many saves!

We have a shed load more chances and possession but just cant find the back of the net but they came into the second half looking a lot better and grabbed a couple of sneaky goals.

So despite back to back losses in the league and 3 in a row overall we are still now top of the table 2 points clear of Hull who must have also had a bad spell whilst we are 10 points clear of third place and cannot official finish below 17th place now.

The slump is truly upon us! We dominated this match with **** of a lot of chances whilst they managed two goals from the 3 shots on target they had!

Leeds V QPR

View attachment 196296

I really thought we could end the slump today considering QPR didnt even have a shot on target and Mackie was sent off in the first half but it wasnt to be and we just about grabbed a draw so at least the losing run is over.

Burnley V Leeds

View attachment 196295

We havent won in 5 league matches now and i just dont whats happening, nothings changed but we just have seemed out of sorts since the Brighton game and could well be in a huff from getting knocked out of the Cup i dont know.

Leeds V Reading

View attachment 196294

We started off so well and went into the lead twice but it wasnt to be as we let our lead slip with seconds to go and the winless run in the league continues.

Despite being on a 6 game winless run we have confirmed a spot in at least the Play-offs for this season.

Leeds V Wolves

View attachment 196292

3-0 up with Ulloa finally finding a bit of form again but they got one back and then we had Browning sent off and they got a penalty and i thought it was all about to collapse again but the penalty was saved and we just about held out!

A pretty even game but Hull managed to win it and are flying high at the top of the table now and look a cert to win the League after beating us.

Leeds V Charlton

Dallas nets first before Ulloa grabs the second inside 22 minutes and we coasted from there, we never looked like losing this game and should have really netted several more decent chances.

We pick up a brilliant win to end the season netting twice before they came back in the second half to even it up before we grabbed two late goals to seal a very nice win.

Leonardo Ulloa is staying full time now after we make his loan deal permanent for just £3Million, i felt like these 3 cheap deals were important for the squad and morale as a whole as i didnt want to change too much with the side and felt we were losing far too many players at the end of the season from loan deals.

So i said we would avoid relegation as that has surely got to be our only aim this season after a very unlikely Promotion, We have spent most of the money we were given but it was around £16Million with a little bit in the wage budget and we have around £5Million left.

N'Jie was poor for us and if you cant make a Championship side your definitely getting nowhere near Tottenham's first team this season.
