Pre-Season - July 2016

I bring in midfielder Yaser Kasim on a free transfer as we only have the 3 players in central midfield and all 3 are very young and can pick up the odd injury

View attachment 195527

Yaser Kasim - CM

View attachment 195526

We bring in huge Italian GK prospect Donnarumma on loan for the season! Hes just 17 years of age but already considered miles better than our first choice keeper Silvestri.

Premier League Odds

View attachment 195523

We are predicted a 16th placed finish which will do us very nicely but considering all of the bottom 6 have the same odds to win the league we are all in for a long and hard season.

Starting 11 and Tactic for New Season

View attachment 195522

Right so new signings Ulloa and Townsend start for our first Premier League game whilst Donnarumma is only on the bench for now as we need to work on his match fitness

Leeds V Aston Villa

An amazing start to the season! Im already dreaming off the Title after this performance! Ulloa netted early on but didnt have that good of a game with Doukara coming off the bench to grab the second.

Almost doubled our season ticket holders since getting Promoted

Townsend nets a very early goal and i was dreaming about back to back wins to start off the new season before Jamie Vardy popped up with an equalizer over an hour after we had gone into the lead.

I put out a second string and it really showed for the first half before we turned it around after a few subs, we quickly netted twice with Woods and Townsend both grabbing goals but they managed to come back late on and then go on and win the match in ****** extra time!

Leeds V Derby

View attachment 195488

Dallas nets first before Cook and Ulloa make it 3-0 in a very impressive display, Derby then out of nowhere netted twice in quick succession to just give me a crazy last 10 minutes of the match.

Lewis Cook wont sign a new deal now hes been called up by England hes to big for us

View attachment 195487

Arsenal are massive spenders with well over £100Million going out including buying Higuain but the best deal of the window has to be Liverpool bringing in Icardi who was a revelation last season for his side.

Swansea V Leeds

We took the lead twice in this match but they came back both times and really should have gone on to win it as they had the better chances.

Man Utd V Leeds

Ulloa grabbed a very early goal and we almost hung on for the entire match in what would have been a huge win but Man Utd did not only equalize late on but they went into the lead just 5 minutes later

Leeds V Bournemouth

View attachment 195476

You would think that in a match that Ulloa nets a Hattrick that we would get a good result but it wasnt to be as they knick a 4-3 win.

Leeds V Liverpool

View attachment 195348

Charlie Taylor our left back opened the scoring with a wonderful 30 yard goal but they had Icardi on a mission after that and he tore us apart netting a superb Hattrick, Its to be expected these sorts of results especially with Icardi costing more than my entire squad combined!

5 Games Without a Win

View attachment 195347

The media are on us big time but i thought getting a couple of draws in there was quite well going, we are expected to get relegated so im not sure why they think were going to get much playing against the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd

Newcastle V Leeds

View attachment 195346

Now this really is a poor result! I can take losing to Liverpool and Man U, i can take Icardi netting a Hattrick but i cannot take Cisse smashing a Hattrick past us!!! A tweak in tactics is needed methinks.

I was desperate for Halilovic in the summer on a loan deal but he chose West Ham instead and now he cant get a game! Muppet

West Brom V Leeds

View attachment 195344

West Brom have half of Man Utd playing for them now with Valencia grabbing the opener before Ulloa got the equalizer, we then went into the break with an important goal by Sloth.
Despite some pressure from West Brom for the equalizer we managed to hold out for a little longer and Ulloa then got the 3rd to seal our first win in ages!

Down in 12th position now but the most important thing is we are 6 points off the relegation places already and that 40 point mark is all i care about.

Mowatt puts in a man of the match display as he sets up both of Ulloa's goals to seal another win, our first back to back wins in ages. The slight change i made before the West Brom game was i still had the striking role as Poacher for Jordan Rhodes but have changed it back to Target Man for Ulloa who obviously prefers it.

Ulloa out for 3 Weeks - ******!

Chelsea V Leeds

View attachment 195335

They had Cahill sent off around twenty minutes in which really evened the game up for us after we struggled against them to start with, they got the opener though before Dallas equalized just before the break, He then grabbed another on 69 minutes but Chelsea hit back almost immediately and it ended in a draw.
This was an important match for Dallas as hes gone missing this season so far after winning the Championship Player of the Season last year i hope he can push on after this performance.

Southampton V Leeds

AMC Caspe Sloth nets the only goal of the game right before half time as we go from a poor run of form to not losing in 4 games with 3 wins.

We have shot back up the table and are now all the way up in 8th place! But also now a decent 8 points away from the relegation zone, we are almost halfway to our 40 point goal with around a third of the season over.

Leeds V Hull

View attachment 195130

A very good result as Dallas nets in the opening couple of minutes of the match before Townsend makes it 2 inside the opening half an hour.
On Loan Striker James Wilson got one back for them in the second half before Townsend secured the win with a late third.

Donnarumma who has been impressing in recent weeks was the first player i wanted to spend that £20Million on and his club side agreed a £10Million deal but he was far to greedy! At 17 hes on 2,700 a week and i pushed to over 40k a week but he wanted closer to 70k a week! Your joking if he thinks im paying that, i could but i have principals

Stoke V Leeds

View attachment 195126

Well that really didnt go well! It was actually a pretty even match the difference being their attacking players knew where the back of the net was.

Leeds V Man City

View attachment 195124

Another poor result especially as we were 3-0 down in the opening 20 odd minutes, we managed to come back a bit and grab a couple of goals but it wasnt enough.

Leeds V Sunderland

View attachment 195122

We utterly dominated this game but just couldnt find the end product with Ulloa having another shocker of a match. They had a player sent off with around 20 minutes to go and that finally kicked us into life with Dallas netting twice in 2 minutes late on to seal the 3 points.

Tottenham V Leeds

View attachment 195121

Another result were the stats were even but the final score wasnt, its even worse when you get blown out of the park before you even get going! Another side who netted 3 goals before half an hour had even passed.

2 Year Contract Extension Signed

Everton V Leeds

View attachment 195117

A very good result to end the year, we had Mowatt to thank for opening the scoring before they soon equalized, but not long after that Dallas put us back into the lead, they could have got the goal back only 2 minutes later from a penalty but Baines missed it and they never recovered and then Dallas grabbed his second late on.

League Table

View attachment 195116

So we end the year flying high in 9th place with 28 points and our Premier League survival is all but secured for another year as we are now 13 points clear of the relegation zone after that recent win over Everton.

I kept the expectations to the same with avoid relegation as the board just gave me £20Million a month or so ago which i have already spent before the window even opened!

View attachment 194500

Leeds spend £17.5Million on 4 new players

View attachment 194499

First off Andre Wisdom, For just £2Million i have got a young English Centre back with huge potential who is already better than my current back pairing.

View attachment 194498

£6.5Million spent on Timo Horn a brilliant Keeper again whos very young in GK terms, hes better than both my keepers by a country mile and cost a fraction of the price that Donnarumma wanted.

View attachment 194497

Just £1.8Million was spent on Lascelles who may never make the first team but is a good rotation option for the side with the likes of Wooton and Vann currently out on loan.

View attachment 194496

The big signing was Victor Moses for just over £7Million, him and Townsend on the wing should be able to give Ulloa plenty of opportunities to find the back of the net.

View attachment 194495

New Starting 11 for the New Year

View attachment 194494

Leeds V Leicester

View attachment 194493

A dominant 4-0 win to start off the New Year, none of the new signings scored but Moses had a brilliant game and set up the first goal whilst Wisdom was amazing in defence winning the Man of the Match award in the process.

With Horn and Donnarumma both ahead of Silvestri in the pecking order our former Number 1 moves on to Brighton for £500k.

We really should have won this game and had it all over with early in the first half but we couldnt see the game through as we went ahead twice in the match but they came back both times and we will now face Aston Villa 3 times in the next week or so.

Good first half of the season in the prem. Every time I scrolled down I expected to see that Rhodes had been injured again.

Aston Villa V Leeds

View attachment 193634

A terrible result for us against Aston Villa as Deeney opens the scoring for them early in the second half before Ulloa grabbed the equalizer. We then gave away a penalty with 4 minutes of normal time left but Deeney fluffed his chance! Whilst we were still celebrating saving the penalty they came back and grabbed the winner even later in the game.

Lewis Cook Finally signs a new 4 Year Deal

It looks a worse result than it was with Berahino bashing in two late goals after we were going all out for a late equalizer and got caught on the counter twice, we actually had more chances and the better play but our strikers had poor finishing.

We are all the way up in 9th place and people are moaning about my tactics after a few defeats!

We were 3-0 down after just 6 minutes and i thought this injury crisis is going to destroy us but we manage to pull the game back level with only 10 minutes to go and i thought surely we can hold on to this draw but they managed to get a very late winner and all that comeback was for nothing.

View attachment 193144

Down in 9th place now and on equal points with a couple of teams below us, this injury crisis could really hurt us and instead of a decent top half finish we could end up with a lower half finish, which i would have taken at the start of the season but it feels like we have spent so much time in the top half we cant let it slip now.
