Leeds United Season 2013/14 in pictures .... Part 5 ‏

By Keith Ingham

The final part of a difficult 2013/14 season...

Another goal from Ross McCormack but Leeds slump to another defeat, this time at the hands of lowly Doncaster Rovers. The result brought the relegation fears of last season return.

After another shockingly bad Elland Road performance, relegation threatened Charlton Athletic grabbed three vital points. Ross McCormack missed this last minute penalty that would have given Leeds at least a draw. Two games versus teams in trouble but no points from them. Difficult times.

Another year passes but we never forget Chris and Kevin.

A visit to the DW Stadium brought no points but some better news off the field, Massimo Cellino's appeal was upheld and he could finally complete the takeover of Leeds United.

Just before the Watford game Massimo Cellino chats to Brian McDermott in the dugout to outline his plans for the club. On the field the new owner saw Leeds slump to another defeat, this time 3-0 to the 'Hornets'.

In a game Leeds really needed three points from, Luke Murphy struck twice to give the supporters some much needed relief and the first win since the Millwall game.

Since the 1997/98 season Leeds' visits to Oakwell have not yielded much success but a early Ross McCormack goal gave the three points to us and as a result sent Barnsley closer to the dreaded drop into Division 1. Bye bye 'pit props'.

After two victories, Nottingham Forest scored two early goals to condemn Leeds to their ninth defeat in the 'Theatre of Hope'. One thing for certain next season the home form must improve, not a good performance from Leeds.

Matt Smith, Danny Pugh and a own goal sealed a good away win at Birmingham City, the defeat sent the midlands club closer to the Championship trapdoor. The travelling army, including Roman Centurions deserved a final away win. Incredible support throughout the season.

Two of the successes of a disappointing season for Leeds United, Ross McCormack and his strike partner Matt Smith amassed over forty goals between them. Young Smith was without doubt the best of Brian McDermott's signings. Well done to both.

Ross McCormack takes the plaudits his fantastic season deserved. Without the Scottish internationals 29 goals Leeds could have been relegated, just a shame he missed out on the 30 goal mark. Little McCormack though did get a couple after the game at the 'Kop' end and shows promise. Sign him up Brian !.

A few beers and a meal with Andrew Butterwick, 'The Happy Chocker' and 'The Quiet One' Football without the friends you meet along the way would not be the same.
