We've beaten our former employers Chesterfield 3-1 at Luton Stadium, Richard Manning's brace helping us to victory.

Took the lead twice at struggling Crewe and twice got pegged back, draw was perhaps a fair result.

I've absolutely no idea how we didn't get at least a point from this game against Rotherham as we were the better side throughout as striker Richard Manning had given us the lead after twenty four minutes but two second half goals saw the Millers turn the game around.

And the final game of my stint has seen us pick up a three goals to one success away to Southend United as Richard Manning, Clive Ash and Eddie Scott scored our goals to maintain our unlikely promotion push.

So I will returning the save to @Dan with our Luton side in third place and only three points behind the surprise leaders Peterborough. We've won twenty two of our thirty nine league games, drawing six and losing eleven times and while scoring hasn't been a problem, not conceding has been the problem. Still haven't secured a play-off spot but eight more points should be enough.

The difference between taking your chances and not taking your chances. The difference between being first and being third. Stats Stats show it was an even game, in fact, they probably favor us more, however if we don't take these chances we're guna lose.

Richard Manning has fired us into second place netting two of the five goals here. He's now the clubs top scorer again this season, Scott is just one behind him, he also netted in this rout.

Well, a two one win over Wolves has secured us a playoff spot come the end of the season. It also sees us jump Watford, again, up in second place.

And so, for a second season running, we went into the final game of the league season, relying on other results to go our way, we traveled to Sheffield Wednesday, needing at least a point whilst Watford welcomed seventeenth place Rotherham, knowing they had to win to secure second place.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/CGoMbV15aJpD4dQ2c7ZrxfHJDXe0j8QhDOH759WY.png

We had done our bit a dirty game saw no less than ten yellow cards without a single red, both teams kept everyone on the pitch for this five goal thriller. We trailed after eight minutes, however Race levelled for us almost immediately. We trailed again come the break. Second half an own goal brought us back level before Thomas won it for us eleven minutes from time.

All heads turned to the tannoy, waiting for the Watford result to come in...

"We love you Rotherham, we do" sang out from the away fans at Hillsborough following the news that they held on against Watford who battered them with the shots. But it was enough to secure us a second shock promotion on the bounce.

Here are the top half final standings, Peterborough ran away with it in the end, sitting eleven points clear at the end of the season, we pipped Watford on the final day, finishing a point ahead of them. It'll be playoff glory for one of Watford, Hull, Sheffield United or Newcastle.

It remains to be seen whether we'll be here next season, but if we are, the board have rewarded us with a substantial transfer budget thats for sure.

"Unbelieveable scenes, Jeff."

Really cannot believe we've secured back-to-back promotions with a club who were meant to struggle both seasons. This tactic we're using is an absolute godsend but I expect next season to be a struggle in the Premier League and if we remain then some of those players deserve a chance.

My first signing of my stint has seen Chris Adams join the club from Derby County for £7m. He's a left winger.

Could be a starting striker this season, £600k up front.

Our first ever game in the Premier League saw us travel to Bournemouth and produced an excellent one all draw. Our new left winger Chris Adams fired us into the lead at Fletcher Stadium after nineteen minutes but the hosts levelled nine minutes later and a draw was perhaps a fair result.

Oh yeah and we got fined £25,000 for picking up too many yellow cards!

Ryan Thompson's goal, twelve minutes from time has seen us secure a deserved (in my opinion anyway) point at home to Norwich.

Well, I'm delighted to announce that my spell has come to an end and now it's up to @Dan to try and rack up a few wins and install some much needed confidence to the lads. I took charge of six Premier League matches in which we didn't win a single goal (drew twice) and only won a single competitive game, coming in the League Cup second round at home to Barnsley but even then we were sh*t enough and needed a trio of second half strikes to seal our passage.

Horrible, expected though, torn apart by Arsenal.
