October: Unstoppable
Another epic month from the Whites in October.
Neil Redfearn led his continental Leeds side out to gain thirteen points out of a possible fifteen as well as a Capital One Cup 5th Quarter-Final tie with Premier League high-flyers Everton, who sit in 4th place in the Premier League. Mirco Antenucci was the catalyst for the great form over the course of the month, bagging a hat-trick against Wigan in the Capital One Cup, along with one against Sheffield Wednesday and two against Reading and Norwich.
The Leeds vs Sheffield Wednesday fixture was definitely a highlight, in front of a full-capacity Elland Road as Neil Redfearn's soldiers ran out 2-0 winners over their Yorkshire rivals with goals coming from Souleymane Doukara and Mirco Antenucci.

League Table

After almost losing out on three points to Rotherham, we could've been one less point away from second place, which puts us eight points ahead of Wigan but instead we're three wins ahead of them. In November we're against some good quality sides but we've proven too many times how superior we are. I'd like us to go into Christmas possibly twelve points ahead of second.
November

We're against some good quality sides in November such as Cardiff, Blackburn and Derby. They will all be wanting a win against top of the league desperately. But along with the good quality sides come the relegation battlers who want to send out a signal that they will be staying up by beating top of the league.
Awards
Manager of the Month - Neil Redfearn

After a great month of no losses, I have picked up the Manager of the Month award for October, after beating the likes of Norwich and Wolves, both high end sides, comfortably. Middlesbrough's Aitor Karanka came in second, after defeating the threat of Fulham 4-1 and Watford 4-0 but lost out on the 2-1 defeat to Wolves at the Molineux. Likewise, 3rd placed Neil Adams led his Norwich side to three wins including a 3-0 win over Rotherham but snatched a podium place after that 3-0 loss to league leaders Leeds.
Player of the Month - Mirco Antenucci

After he took apart every defence put in front of him, our striker from Termoli, Italy, eased his way to win this award. He linked up brilliantly with strike partner Souleymane Doukara over the course of October and hit five goals in four games, a marvelous feat only top class strikers can produce. Antenucci picked up an average rating of 8.10 in October. Bournemouth winger Marc Pugh came trailing behind Antenucci following two assists and three goals in four games throughout October, he picked up an average rating of 7.80. Finally in third place behind his fellow Italian Antenucci came Watford's Matej Vydra, on loan from Udinese. He hit four goals in four this month for the Hornets and picked up an average rating of 7.85.
