LANDMARK: Leeds have won both league fixtures in a single season against a single opponent after conceding the first goal and leading 3-2 at half-time in both matches for the very first time in the club's history.

Patrick Bamford becomes the first English player to score 60 goals for Leeds since Rod Wallace in October 1997.

Stuart Dallas remains the only player to have won the Leeds United Players' Player of the Year award three times.

Not how I wanted this thread to end…..😟


Leeds suffer their heaviest ever defeat v QPR
Leeds suffer their heaviest defeat under Farke
Leeds have lost 6 of our last 7 at Loftus Road
Leeds have lost 4 consecutive matches at Loftus Road for the first time

Started this thread in Feb when record stats were being made.

Thought I'd carry on with the hope that there's more to come in 2024/25 season 🤷‍♂️😬.


A reminder that most of my info comes from Twitter/X, so want to credit LUFCDATA and Jonny Cooper, and others as they appear


1st stat for 10/8/24.......


There were 40 fouls in today's game between Leeds and Portsmouth, the most in a game involving Leeds that Opta has on record since 2013-14.

Was very surprised with Pascal taking the penalty yesterday and have to admit some angst...but he dispatched it beautifully !!

Pascal was also the first Leeds United player wearing the number five shirt to score a penalty since Jack Charlton in March 1963 against Derby County

56% of the goals Leeds United have scored under Daniel Farke have either been scored or assisted by players no longer at the club.

Leeds United have kept more clean sheets in 2024 than any other side in the top four tiers of English football (16).

Illan Meslier has the best clean sheet percentage of any goalkeeper in Championship history (48%)

Last match was Daniel Farke's 100th win in the Championship, reaching that total in 190 games. It's the fewest games to reach 100 wins in the second tier of English football since 1903

Our last 30 Championship away games when scoring first...

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWDWWWWWW

Just saw a topical stat ....

Seen the Oasis reunion rumours??

So since Oasis split it up......

Leeds have played 747 games, winning 310, drawing 170 and losing 267, scoring 1071 goals, conceding 989.

We have had 19 managers (inc caretakers) and used 233 players!!!!

Some more interesting stats:
From LUFC Data:
Leeds have avoided defeat in the last 56 Championship matches they have scored first in, which takes in 49 wins and seven draws. That run goes back to April 2019, when Wigan Athletic infamously went 1-0 down with 10 men at Elland Road on Good Friday, but won 2-1 with 23 per cent possession and two shots on target. We all remember that one!

Opta:
The Whites have only faced 40 shots in their opening six league matches and that’s the fewest shots faced by a second-tier side since Opta began measuring that statistic in 2013/14.

Cheers Middlesex.
I wasn't sure whether anyone was still interested in this stats page so hadn't posted recently.... but that stat about fewest shots was one I was thinking of posting.

I'm certainly not the sole source of such stats so if people are interested in keep this going, I'd encourage anyone to post anything you see.

I'll just add one........

In the 2-0 win over Cardiff, Leeds United recorded their most possession in a league match Opta has on record (79.3%), while 696 completed passes is the second-most on record in that time.
(Pity most of them were sideways or backwards !!!)

Another....

Leeds United have taken 147 corners in the Championship since they last scored via a corner in February against Swansea. 52 shots from corners in that time, 0 goals.

😵‍💫☹️

Here's biggy......

Elland Road in its current form has sold out for every match over the last six years !

and there are 26,000 supporters on the waiting list for season tickets.

Junior Firpo registered his 10th assist for Leeds this calendar year and 12th for club and country in 2024 (10 Leeds, 2 Dominican Republic). LUFCDATA

Joël Piroe in 2024 is only the second player to score five goals as a substitute in a year for Leeds United, along with Keith Edwards in 1987.

Since the start of 2019-20, Leeds United when scoring first in the Championship. #lufc
