Better times, after our wobbly start...

Leeds United up to present day, first weekend of November


Haven't written a blog in ages! Been a while but hey-ho.

After an unsure start to the campaign Leeds have started to play with that spark we knew they had. There have still been worries and scares don't get me wrong but we have adapted to the changes being made well.

We're over ten games in now and I believe the league table is starting to take shape. The Championship can be incredibly unpredictable though. I have learnt that to my own expense when trying to win on the William Hill accumulators. Not gonna happen right?



The league is getting stronger and stronger. Big name players are now playing in the division for various sides not including are own sadly. That said, we don't need the big name players, we have our own talents who don't all play well simultaneously. 


Since I no longer work on Saturdays I have been able to go to more fixtures. I say this but I haven't been to a Saturday game yet. Although it must be said I have almost ventured to more games home and away this season as I did last season. I'm getting to know my beloved team better and I'm starting to see the new Leeds and a Leeds I didn't know existed. 


The team are playing well, as I write this I believe we are in 10th? Could be wrong. After our home drubbing to the Seasiders on Wednesday evening things can only get better. An away trip to managerless Leicester is the perfect opportunity to start a fresh. Without Tom Lees playing and Darren O'Dea being a doubt it will be interesting to see who the pair at the back are going to be. I still think Kisnorbo will keep his place, he did enough on Blackpool to satisfy me. He wasn't at fault for any of the goals put it that way, and playing with Paul Connolly in the Center-Back position wasn't the best of pairings. I'd like to see either Bruce or Bromby come back although Andy O'Brien made it onto the bench the other night so I reckon he will probably start with one of the Br's on the bench.

I am going to predict the line-up we will play against Leicester then I'll say which line-up I would choose...

Predicted line-up:
 GK - Alex McCarthy
RB - Paul Connolly  CB - Patrick Kisnorbo  CB - Andy O'Brien  LB - Aidy White
RM - Robert Snodgrass  CM - Adam Clayton  CM - Jonny Howson  LM - Danny Pugh
ST - Andy Keogh  ST - Ross McCormack

Subs - Cairns, Bruce, Varyrnen, Sam, Becchio

MY LINE-UP:

GK - Alex McCarthy
RB - Paul Connolly  CB - Patrick Kisnorbo  CB - Leigh Bromby  LB - Aidy White
RM - Robert Snodgrass  MC - Adam Clayton  MC - Danny Pugh  MC - Jonny Howson  LM - Ramon Nunez
ST - Ross McCormack

Subs - Cairns, O'Brien, Sam, Keogh, Forrsell

Yes its a 4-5-1 but I reckon it could work. Not that its going to be played but its not a bad idea I don't think.

Anyway, later dudes.
