Strikers are paid to score goals. i'm not saying mac or morri are not good capable strikers but with diouf, hall and habi on bench, we have options not to start with the m s. just to take a bit of stress off them, even for half a game. We need to start chipping away at goal difference, ready for the big push. Or are hall and habi not good enough?

I think we need to leave the team alone, it's the best we've had for some time now, even if it isn't perfect. Okay if we have an injury change something, otherwise leave well alone and let them get used to playing with each other rather than giving them yet a new target player to try and find.

This team under colin for some reason has settled or he has placed the players in there correct areas.
its a shame that this did ent happen late nov/dec.
get ready for the big push.
dont think we are ready for the prem but who knows keep the faith


Big Grah

Ok leave well alone. So, even if we lose next 2 and don't score? Change then or would you then wait for how they go against an easier team?

None of the replacements are prolific in any shape or form. Never have been. Morison and McCormack have both been prolific at some point in the past.

what was your first leeds home match and first away match you allways reremeber your first match

City at home. lost 3-1 paulo wanchop scored for them!, I remember the excitment I felt as a 10y/o from brighton coming up for my birthday with my dad face paint the whole lot, sat over in the cheese corner.

First away game Bolton (relagation)!

Fa cup replay at home to rushden and diamonds. Loved it since then at elland rd. First away trip was to maine road and we won 5-2. Hope we get back to prem and europe one day. We need the big nights back

I was about 8 years old and my dad a Leicester fan took me to Flibert Street to see Leicester vs Leeds in the League Cup, not sure of the exact year but around 1970. We won 0-1 and I for one will settle for that tomorrow night (I will be at the King Power Stadium tomorrow night)

Leeds v Coventry - Robbie Keane scored a beauty! I was about 7/8 my dad took me and I remember been in awe of the size and the noise of the place. Still get goosebumps every week when I get in and look around
M. O. T

October 1987 Leeds 3 Bournemouth 2. Same day that Joe Bugner fought Frank Bruno. I think Bob Taylor and Peter Swan were on the scoresheet for us, Carl Richards got two back for the Cherries.

LR, Northants

Mine was man city thrashed them 1 - 0 jonny giles or was it lorimer

Millwall the other day, great experience at 31 and worth the trip from London

Peacocks

I am 31 and went to my first game the other day against Millwall, great atmosphere and worth the journey from London.

First home game was 1971 v WBA the famous offside goal (check it out on you tube young 'uns) and the first away game was the blunts ( I think 1975), we won 2-0 but can't remember who scored I was too busy watching the Leeds fans and in absolute awe.

Saturday 29th Febuary 1992 Leeds united 2 - Luton Town 0. I was 5 years old and remember the game because it was Chris Kamara's first game back after we sold him to Luton. Can't remember anything else about the game. Last game was Saturday vrs Millwal. Don't go to every game but prob 10 or 12 a season. Glory supporter and will go every week when we finally get back! Ha

Leeds v Ipswich Town 1979 2-1 victory. I was eight and I remember like yesterday.

Away Blackburn 1988 drew 1-1. One of the worst games ever. Bob Taylor scored the only thing of any note.

Mine was early nineties v we won 2-1 I was about 8 and remember cantana getting lots of abuse and giggs too every time he took a corner and got the ball wi his permed curtains lol that was my first but my fav was v Blackburn we were 1 down and everyone started to leave but I refused telling my step dad there is time an the Brian dean scored a header at the death the noise was emence I couldn't grasp why people would leave before the end and I was rite. That's why I say let's get behind the team until there is no chance

Mot

Chorley white

Early games roll into one. Started regularly in 86/87 Hull, Grimsby, Plymouth, Sheffield Utd. Still smile when I think of some of players we had then. John Stiles, Bobby Davison, Ian Baird, Neil Aspin, Peter Haddock, John Clelland, Bob Taylor, Noel Blake, Vince Hillaire, John Sheridan, David Batty, Russell Doig, Jack Ashurst, Vince Brokie, Peter Swann, Brendan Ormsby, etc, etc. Worst moment. Play off final brim, 87. Was there. Peter 'bloody' shirtliff!

After 40 odd years of supporting Leeds this was a hard one.

But recently Leeds V Bristol last game of the season and promotion from League 1. atmosphere was great during the game and after including the coach journey home down south.

Most memorable performance for me has to Alan Smiths first game against Arsenal and he gave Tony Adams a really hard time. for me that was Smithy arriving on the scene. Not sure if there is footage on youtube but worth a watch

LEEDS Vs LIVERPOOL YEBOAH BEAUTY!!

First leeds game was 12 as I am from London I went to Tottenham away we drew 2-2. Last game was away to wolves which was also 2-2

First home games Leeds Vs Swindon in the cup at ER - a man by the name of Paul Robinson got on the scoresheet that game in the last minute, hard to forget that game. I remember thinking 'whats the referee doing?' as he was dressed in black and just stormed into the area.

First home game was a friendly against Watford in the 70s sometime, the chanting was something that would have got us docked points nowadays but it was a great game nonetheless. I can't remember the score but I think we lost tbh. I think Terry Connor scored for us.

First away game was at Walsall in 1986, turned up without a ticket, could not get one but lived locally, well gutted. Funnily enough the other 1000 or so leeds fans in the same boat forced them to let us all in to save trouble. We won 3-1 if my memory serves.

Best away game Swindon 0-5 Leeds Utd in 94 or 95, was it?.

Midfield of Strachan, Batty, Speed and Mcallister, totally ran the show. I was in with the home fans keeping a low profile as they were turfing Leeds fans out constantly. Brian Deane missed a sitter, spooned over the bar into the crowd in front of us. A Swindon fan commented "At least we have got possession for a second" I just love football humour.

Our fans were singing 100 goals 100 goals as Swindon had just conceded the 100th. They took it well tbh.

Most amazing away game has to be 2001 away to Real Madrid, Lost 3-2 but what an experience. Fans teaching the buskers to play MOT in the Plaza Major, Epic. A great 6 days.

Anyway I have bored thee enough
So I'll just say MOT chaps always MOT

Leeds v spurs 1-1, with Mark Viduka equalising from the penalty spot!

Leeds 3 Leicester 2, there was also a streaker on the pitch! Think it was 2000/01 season. First away game was Wigan, we lost 3-0, Bullard ripped us apart, how times have changed!
