It all ended up with a place in the middle of the table (8th) which is fine and the boards plus fans where happy.

I haven't had much chance to play yet, I've played 5 league games, winning 4 and losing 1, been knocked out of the league cup by Manchester City (last minute goal) and am in the 2nd round of the Johnstone Paint Trophy. I'm satisfied with the team's performance so far and hope to keep it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross8 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I've started a season with Leeds & finding it tough. Currently 17th at the start of december would be 2nd 3 points behind Forest if it wasn't for the 15 point deduction. Any pointers on who I should sign in January, and any good staff apointments. Currently only signed Danny Haynes & Tojre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

achilles elbow Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Forgive me if this has already been discussed elsewhere. I'm playing as Leeds (not a fan, but have loads of mates who are), and thought it would be a challenge. Started ok, and after about 12 games I'm on +8 points and about 18th in table. Should I wait for the patch before continuing, as I've read the board AI don't appreciate the -15 points, and so look at league table, see you near the bottom, and sack you. Carry on, or wait?

Anthony91 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 just carry on, if you get caught up in a bad string of results then things could go down the hole...i was facing the sack....but got myself out and happened to get promoted =] all the expectations are annoying...the league predict you 5th ...then the board expect you to win it...and indeed dont take that hefty -15points into account.

Pope of Pot, King of Nothi Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I am in the Championship with Leeds, but slipped out of the top six because I can't seem to put the ball in the back of the net. Doudin could not hit a barn door, and Beckford is want-away. It also seems that Championship teams score every chance they get, so it looks like I need to shore up my defence.

Pope of Pot, King of Nothi Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 FM2008 must have heard my cries of dismay, because after my horrible slump in form I clocked win after win and won the Championship by a point! Derby came second, and on the second last match day I soundly beat them (away) 2-0. Ha-ha! Precious £23m purse to avoid the Premiership brush, so I brought in Harewood (£120K), Cuthbert (mint Scot defender from Man C, DRC - £4.4m), Stevenson, Nortveid (Arsenal), Per Ciljian from Rosenborg, N'Zogbia from Newcastle (Reserves, got him for £2m) and Bouzanis from beloved L'pool (woe is us after this weeks performance ). Hopefully I can stay lower-to-mid table! Hopefully I haven't committed to the same mistakes that sent Leeds Utd packing in the first instance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
