Bolton game prediction

Will both teams have a New Year hangover or will it be a cracker?

Bolton, with Kevin Davies in the team and the most attempts on goal in the Championship will be a tough game for Leeds. Becchio is still injured so scoring goals for Leeds could be a problem.

My prediction is a 1 -1 daw !

My prediction was right !

Leeds lost 2 nil at Hull FC today.

My prediction of 2 nil was right I am sorry to say. It was always going to be a tough game but Leeds need to make big improvements soon if they are to make a top 6 spot.

Disappointing result !!

Hull game prediction

A tough game for Leeds today at Hull.

Hull are an in form team whereas Leeds are hit and miss.

My prediction for the 12.30 kick-off today is -

Hull 2 - Leeds 0

I hope I am wrong !

Leeds' poor defence

Leeds lost to Notts Forest on Boxing Day conceding 3 goals in 6 minutes. Neil Warnock talks of buying a striker but to me it looks like the team needs to sign a good defender and maybe two other quality players before the team will be serious contenders for promotion.

Ironic too that Forest, a team with big ambitions themselves, sacked their manager after the game despite a convincing win !

How long before the new owners at Leeds start to get the same feeling !

Eddie Gray after the Middlesbrough game today

Watch the video of the interview between Eddie Gray and Neil Warnock after the Leeds vs Middlesbrough game at Elland Road on 22 December 2012. A great win !

Leeds go marching on !

What a week for Leeds. Losing to Chelsea was no bad thing. We won friends and made some money from it. But the main talking point this week has been the takeover by GLH Capital. Losing today would have been an anti-climax but our lads did us proud and beat Middlesbrough 2-1. Both goals came from Luciano Beccio and he is scoring some important goals this season.

Good to see Davide Somma coming on as sub. It's May 2011 since he last played. I always thought he was a good player and I'm hoping he can score some goals this season.

35 points now and we are closing in on the top 6.

MOT !

Leeds takeover done !

As promised the deal to takeover Leeds United was completed today, 21 December 2012.

I'm happy that the deal has gone through. The big question all Leeds' fans will want answering is where did the money come from and how much is there to spend. I can see that it is not wise to say how much money there is to spend on new players so I suppose we will have to wait and see who the club signs in the January transfer window.

GFH Capital are making all the right noises and the signs are that this promises to be the start of a an exiting time for Leeds.

Lets hope that's the case and I can't wait to see who signs in January !

Chelsea game on Wednesday

I'm gutted I won't be able to see the Chelsea game tomorrow. I'm at a Christmas dinner so I can only see the result on my mobile. I wonder if The Chelsea Chairman will be at Elland Road. Will he go for a pint and a pie before the game or maybe he will sample the local West Yorkshire gourmet dish of fish and chips ! If he does go to the game he can be guaranteed good old fashioned hospitality as only Yorkshire people know how.

I was also wondering how many of Chelsea's young foreign players know anything about the rivalry between the two teams. All those FA Cup games and replays in the 1970's. Do the Chelsea players realise that they are playing a team bigger than they are !

My score prediction 2 nil to Leeds !

Bring on Chelsea.

Let's hope that the Chelsea football team are jet-lagged and tired when they arrive at Elland Road on Wednesday. Let's hope that First Class was over booked and the whole team had to travel in Economy !

Leeds will be fresh. Let's hope that will be enough to see off Chelsea.

Leeds vs Bradford City in the final? Hmmmm....what are the odds? !!

Leeds beat Ipswich

The good form of Leeds United continued today with a 2 - 0 win over Ipswich at Elland Road.

Having lost against Derby last week it was important for Leeds to go into the busy Christmas fixture list with a win against struggling Ipswich.

In a poor game, lacking in goal mouth action, the win still means Leeds are in mid table and still need to continue their good form for some time to come to get back into the top 6.

Leeds at home to Middlesbrough next Saturday and then away at Notts Forest are two tough games. Oh, and there is the small matter of Chelsea on Wednesday !

Leeds lose at Derby

Just as Leeds fans thought that things were improving we lost at Derby.

Derby has never been the best of grounds for Leeds but that should never be an excuse.

I suppose that the good news is that Leeds have taken 9 points out of 12 but it's still not easy to take losing. Luckily many of the other teams drew today and we are still only 4 points away from the top 6.

The Championship is proving to be a league where every team can beat each other. Cardiff though are looking good !

Leeds beat Huddersfield

An excellent performance from Leeds today as they beat Huddersfield away 2-4 today. That's 3 wins on the bounce now against teams above them in the league. Could Leeds have really turned the corner and be on a charge for promotion?

The way Leeds won today was excellent. They dominated midfield and were deserved winners against a Huddersfield team that had nothing left in the final 10 minutes.

It's good to beat a Huddersfield team away especially as they have such a big Leeds connection.

Leeds are only 3 points outside a play off top 6 place now although as at 2.30 today other teams have still to play.
