Stuart Dallas has told The Yorkshire Post that he is in the best form of his career at Leeds United so far.

When asked if Leeds fans are now seeing his best form since joining from Brentford, Dallas told The Yorkshire Post: “It is probably fair to say that.

“I am a lot more confident. I have said it before, last year wasn’t good enough for my standards. There were a number of reasons and I could use them as an excuse, but I am not that type of player.”

Dallas knows the Championship inside out and is one of the best attacking players in the division.

The Northern Ireland international, though, has yet to make a start in the Championship this season.

The 26-year-old has made seven substitute appearances for Leeds so far this campaign, scoring two goals in the process.

Dallas has made a very positive impact when he has come on as a substitute, and given that he himself feels that he is in the best form of his Leeds career so far, the Elland Road faithful should be optimistic.

Just imagine how good Dallas will be and the effect he will have on this Leeds team if he gets to start regularly instead of making substitute appearances…
