News ====
Trial delayed again! The trial of the man accused of murdering Leeds fans Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight has been delayed yet again. Nearly five years after the pair were killed while out in Istanbul supporting Leeds in the UEFA Cup semi-final against Galatasarary, the latest instalment of the trial of Ali Umit Demir was halted when it became clear that the forensic reports linking Demir's knife with the killings had not been properly signed by the scientists involved. It's yet another slap in the face to the families of Chris and Kevin, with the accused allowed out on bail pending the conclusion of the trial - although the authorities are understood to be keeping a close eye on him. The trial is now likely to finish in April or May.
Keogh to Sc**thorpe Andy Keogh has completed his transfer to Sc**thorpe, signing a three-year deal at Glanford Park. He's still away on international duty, so will miss tonight's game against Southend but should be available thereafter. Irons boss Brian Laws said: "Hopefully, [he] will come for a medical on Monday and we'll get it all done and dusted." Kevin Blackwell wished the player well for the future: "I couldn't guarantee Andy first team football at the present time. We sat down and had a chat and both parties felt it would be better, certainly in the short term, for the player to get first team experience elsewhere. We wish him all the best for the future and hope he enjoys a successful career and we will always keep track of him." Keogh's first-team career for Leeds comprised just 5 minutes in this season's League Cup defeat at Pompey.
I don't know what's going on - Gregan Leeds midfielder Sean Gregan says he can't understand why Leeds keep on conceding late goals.He said: "We seem to go though these late lapses though and it's cost us a lot of points this season. We went through a stage where we had them just after half-time but we seem to have that sorted now. We played well last week and dominated the game bar the last ten minutes when they had a bit of pressure on us and obviously we conceded the penalty. It probably made the game look closer than it was but anyone who saw it knows we were deserved winners. But it's silly having to score two or three goals away from home just to hang on. It's something we have to concentrate on and we'll keep trying until we get it right." Gregan admits that the club's home form has left something to be desired, and that the reaction from the terraces is understandable, but is still affecting some of the younger players: "The lads have said among themselves that three or four years of frustration is seeping out this season. Players like myself, Paul Butler and Michael Gray have played in front of big crowds for a lot of years and it's water off a duck's back for us but for some of the young kids it's difficult." Gregan also reckons that he is now performing closer to his best, and that's reflected in the improved reaction he is getting from the fans: "Things have got better for me. I said from day one when I arrived that I wasn't fit and the manager threw me in without a life jacket. I was happy to do that. I was also playing in a team with a lot of young lads and there was no confidence in the side. I feel I am getting there I am nearly up to scratch and the performances are a lot better. It would have been nice to come in fit and started off like this rather than going through what I did and have to win people over."
Let's go for glory - Kev Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell has called on his players to pull out all the stops and give their all to push for the play-offs. Despite the fact that Leeds have now played two games more than everyone else but are still outside the play-off spots, Blackwell thinks he has seen the signs of a newly-motivated and well-organised side with fears of relegation now evaporated: "I want to now look to win games - we have got to the time of year when I have to have a bit of a gamble. People have said I am ultra-cautious but I am going to go for it and if we can bang in some results quickly then we are in for an exciting end to the season... We have worked that hard to put ourselves in a good position that we have to go for it now and let's just see where we end up." But Blackwell is not pinning all of his hopes on an immediate return to the top flight, and points out that the club's current planning should see things improve next season: "I believe that my players are starting to come to the fore and if we can finish strongly it augers well for next season. We have become acclimatised to this division and there are a lot of positives now.
Griffit goes Loanee winger Leandre Griffit has returned to Southampton at the end of his one-month loan. Griffit played for just 25 minutes for the first team in the match at Pride Park, but failed to convince Kevin Blackwell to give him any more of a run in the Championship.
See you tomorrow with another batch of news and stats!

Nope jon isn't a frd of mine. He's the journalist of leedsfans.org.uk. I think he is a super hardcore fan as he updates his website almost everyday and he's been doing that for years.
Under his web, u can see the all the players (and matches, yes ALL!) who have played for Leeds over the past 80 years. And u'll received unofficial Leeds news via email if u subscribe for it. I think he deserves recognition for all the efforts put in.
