SEPTEMBER 2014


Sky Bet Championship Birmingham City 3-0 Leeds United
Sky Bet Championship AFC Bournemouth 7-5 Leeds United
Sky Bet Championship Leeds United 1-0 Huddersfield Town
Sky Ber Championship Brentford 0-1 Leeds United

Leeds United have ended the month positively after a worrying start which saw them concede 10 goals in 2 games. This was the transition phase which has seen Townend experiment with a 4-2-3-1, moving away from the diamond formation chosen last month. The Huddersfield Town result was particularly special, with Chris Eagles netting a last minute winner in front of the kop and a crowd of 34,000. Leeds go into October without right-back Sam Byram who is serving a one-match ban following his sending off at Brentford. Loan keeper Iliev has made a good impression, keeping a clean sheet on his debut against Huddersfield and achieving the same feat against Brentford.



The blip that saw Leeds fall to back to back defeats had seen them slide down to fifth, but their recovery against Huddersfield and Brentford has seen them climb back up to third, just a point behind league leaders Middlesbrough.



Young winger Jack Grealish has impressed since joining on loan from Aston Villa bagging a goal on his debut against Bournemouth and setting up the winning goals against Huddersfield and Brentford. The 19-year-old has consistently looked a threat down the left wing and Leeds fans will be hoping that this early form continues for a long time to come, as they continue their season as the surprise package at the top end of the Championship.
