Just read Stuart Dallas interview on YEP. I've heard it's on the Leeds channel. What a geezer and what a team mate I'd imagine. I believe we're missing a man like him in the dressing room right now.
If I'm correct he scored EIGHT goals from midfield first season back in the Premier league?
I'd take one now from CM in the last four games!
MOT.

Good post Corky .
Yes that season 20/ 21 Stuart Dallas was an absolute god send in midfield 8 goals 5 assists in a tough EPL .
Arguably top 3 player for Leeds that season with Raphinha edging it perhaps
IF Leeds were to just miss out on promotion this season non scoring midfielders will be partly the reason.

Thinking about Leeds United famous goal scoring midfielders these imo are the Leeds United
MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Goalscoring mfs
1st Giles 383 apps 88 goals
2nd Bremner 587 apps 91 goals ( no penalties) .
3rd Bowyer 203 apps 38 goals ( no pens)
4th Pablo 152 apps 31 goals
5th Strachan 197 apps 37 goals
6th Sheridan 230 apps 47 goals
7th McAllister 231 apps 31 goals
AIMO.

I think that Dallas has been in the dressing room all season Corks.
12 Apr 2024 06:43:33
Yep Corky, absolute top bloke, no doubts.
He definitely has been around like you say Alf, as I read a Gio interview not so long back where he said what a help Stuey had been when his confidence was low, and what a great pro he was.
And Baz, yep, no doubts that there has been a lack of goals from two of our MFs. Oh for the MF goal scoring of Macca, Strachs and beloved Speedo! Even Batts got a couple!
12 Apr 2024 06:51:42
Baz 8. Bobby Collins 168 apps 26 goals whose career effectively ended at least for Leeds in sad similar fashion as Stuart. His name can't be omitted.
12 Apr 2024 06:56:48
Baz 9. Gary Speed RIP 312/ 57.
12 Apr 2024 06:57:25
Bright Batts scored 4 in fact all in his first spell.

Good posts Brighty and Georgey.

So we have no goal scoring midfielders in this team? Summerville 17. James 13. Gnonto 7. All are wingers but form part of a midfield as we play 2 attacking midfielders and 2 holding. We don't play 5 strikers. I think maybe the 2 holding midfielders should be chipping in with 5 goals each! If only. Glad we have contributed 37 goals from non striker positions though :-)
12 Apr 2024 10:59:40
I’ve always considered wingers as MFs to Chippenham!
I think Baz is talking about the central pair.
12 Apr 2024 11:21:38
Yes the central mids . Gruev, Kamara .
and Gray too when he played there
. Amps too ( although he has got a cup goal) but no League goal which is more important aimo.
12 Apr 2024 14:15:34
So you want 4 attacking mf baz?
Or a batty defensive mf?
Or a free scoring df midfielder. Like?
12 Apr 2024 14:55:39
Central midfielders ond scores 2 of goals and a more attackinv CM who scores 6 to 8 would be grand Aus
Also what would be grand would be for England to Bish Bash Bosh Smash them cheating sandpaper lurving Aussies In upcoming World ? Cup ?
