We signed Kelvin Etuhu after he was released by Barnsley. Great signing for us if we can keep him fit and motivated and he stays out of legal trouble. I think he played CM for Barnsley under Flitcroft, so this is where he will fit in

With players like Lowe, Mayor, Adams, Jalal and Etuhu being signed up I think there is no denying we're going for promotion this season. Or administration. We will see.

We've signed Keil O'Brien, a 21-year-old Centre Back from Conference North side Chorley on a two-year deal. According to Chorley fans, he was great for them and should go on to much better things but other than that I haven't heard of him yet. But it's good to see Flickers going down to non-league level to find possible young hidden gems. Really good to see

Hockaday's appointment is really beyond pisstaking. Does he have the reciepe for the veggie burgers from FGR or what's Cellino's reasoning behind this? Weird. Weird, weird, weird...

I might actually pop along to that. Wasn't great last time I watched Bury there, though...

Fairly confident we can get a result there. They really need to win and we can only overachieve. This is our chance and I'm sure we can take it

Notlob away. A dream draw for us, a proper derby! Should bring a few thousand people and I believe this will be televised

Two more signings for us.

We signed Chris Hussey from Burton, who was already on loan with us but went back to Burton for the play-offs, and Shwan Jalal, former England C and Bournemouth. Both are good signings for this level in my opinion, Hussey excelled for us at LB and Jalal is an expereinced keeper who knows what promotion feels like.

With these signings being made, our team looks a little something like this right now:

Nardiello - Lowe

Mayor - Adams - New CM/Soares - Jones

Hussey - McNulty - Mills - Jones/new RB

Jalal

This is a team which gets me quite excited for next season already

I'm surprised he lasted this long after the farce in January tbh.

And the amount of shite football Leeds played in 2014

Nicky Adams re-joins the club on a three-year deal after we paid Rotherham an undisclosed fee.

I'm fairly happy with this. Nicky was a star in his first spell here and looked great whenever we played against him in League One. For League Two he should be different class. Welcome home Nicky!

Drew 0-0 at Morecambe today. A game we didn't really give a fuck about either as we started youth teamer Scott Burgess and subbed on two more youth team players with Marcus Proscha and Regan Walker. Could have asked for better entertainment on my birthday but at least there was no possible promotion/relegation stress like Doncaster or Reading fans had to endure.

On the other hand, we already secured a signing for next season. Our player of the season and loanee Danny Mayor signed a 3-year-deal and joins for an undisclosed fee from Sheffield Wednesday. Brilliant signing imo. He's too good for this division and I'm really happy we gave him a long contract as I can see him either go up the leagues with us or we're making profit with him. Good move all around

Our retained list. Jensen is a shock to me as he kept the most clean sheets in one season since Dean Kiely and has been a massive influence in our upturn in form. We have Shwan Jalal from Bournemouth on trial so you could see that we're looking at some options but I'm still unsure why we didn't offer Jensen just one more year.

Also Phil Picken retired from football because of his injury problems. Gutted for him

Lost 1-0 at York today. Would like to tell you how dominant we were and that we were unlucky not to score but that would be untrue. York dersrved the win but we weren't really bothered I think.

Finish as high as possible now and onto next season!

There goes our slim chance at a play off spot. Absoluting outclassed by Bury so far who have taken what chances they've had.

We are in no way prepared for league one or even the play offs anyway.

That's a bit harsh. IF Alessandra scored his chance before we made it 1-0 and if Gurrieri takes his chance when he was 1 on 1 wiht Jensen then god know what happened because I thought you were alright in the first half. Second half was on another planet I think. The best football I've seen us play at Gigg Lane for a long time. Nardiello took his chances well and Danny Rose was absoultely outstanding and eserved his goal. If the season only was 5 game longer...

Drew 2-2 in the end. Pretty much a carbon copy of the game at Gigg Lane.

They took the lead twice but we came back and scored another goal in the 95th minute. Danny Rose with a screamer. That probably means we have no chance of reaching play-offs anymore but I think we could still achieve 9th if we can push on from here.

Scunthorpe away tomorrow. Actually buzzing. IF we get a win tomorrow then I believe we can still get into the play-offs but a draw or a loss rules this possibility out. However, we shall not forget where we were before DF came in so I wouldn't blame him or the team if we don't achieve play-offs straight away. Always next season to be played

Won 2-0 against Exeter. Left it late again but two strikes by Chris Hussey and Tom Soares ensured our win. With 5 games left to be played we are only 7 points behind the play-offs places. Not expecting anything but one can dream....

Leicester are on the brink, they just need Derby and QPR not to win today and they are back in the Prem.

Imagine Yann Kermorgant scoring the winning goal for Bournemouth vs QPR to send them up.

We are playing Exeter today. They are a good team away from home but laways played poor at la stade de Gigg. Nardiello scoring a hat-trick would be decent today

Freedman describes Town as 'throwing money' at Nahki Wells.

It might just be me, but does anyone else find that unbelievably hypocritical of him and also appallingly derogatory towards another club's player? Talk about a lack of class. Hope we stuff them properly tomorrow - with a Nahki Wells hat-trick.

Notlob in lacking class shocker. They are a club without respect and I hope they go bust at some point. Scummy little club

Won 2-1! We made hard work out of it but we got the three points and that was all that matters. Hallam Hope scored after 60 seconds and Tom Soares got a goal with 10 minutes remaining. As said, this game puts us 10 points clear and lifts us into the top half.

UTS

Bottom of the forum! Racist.

Game tonight against Bristol Rovers. A win would be good bevause we'd be 10 points clear of the relegation zone and a win would lift us into top half. Some Evertonians are coming tonight to watch Hallam Hope play (Everton's twitter promoted the game et al). I'm optimistic and predict a 3-0 win with Hope, Nardiello and Mayor as goalscorers

What was Rose's goal like? I'm not sure he'll ever make it here, despite signing a long-term contract. He doesn't look to have the physical presence.

Absolute comedy gold.

Defender passed it back to the keeper who absoultely miskicked it (didn't even hit the ball I think) and Rose only had to tap it in from one yard out. But I liked his presence when he came on yesterday. Ran around like there was no stopping him and made a lot of pressure. Good game by Rose imo

3-0 away win at Northampton. Hope and Rose played for the first time and both grabbed their first goal for us. Easy that.

I'm afraid he has no future here. We brought in Chris Hussey from Burton and he does a good job and Carroll hasn't even been on the bench lately.

43 players in the League alone, it seems. Those two will push it to 45. How's Jake Carroll getting on for you?

My list says 48 but I excluded players like Andy Bishop, Phil Picken and Navid Nasseri who have technically been on our books but who didn't feature,

Carroll is a bit of a liability I'm afraid. Started off brightly with a well taken goal at Mansfield (Balotelli style) but other than that he's done little to prove he's League Two quality. Fleetwood's right winger tore him a new one when we played them and his defending at Torquay for their second goal was questionable. These are just plain examples of his life here but you get the picture.

IMO, he's not a defender. He likes to go forward and I think his pace is better suited at LW than at LB.

Two new loan singings for us today: Danny Rose from Barnsley and Hallam Hope from Everton

I lost count how many players we already had this season. May create a list and post the results here as I believe we are well into our 50's by now

MISSING!!!!!: Killer instinct in front of the goal and maybe even outside the box

Last Seen: Mansfield.

Any help? We need to get back amongst the goals or we may be heading for relegation woes again.
