If you ignore the 4 initial defeats in a row that doesn't look too bad does it? Take that board...my job status has understandably gone from precarious to stable. 1 loss in 16 games will do that. It will also catapult you up through the table as well.
10th is much better, and with 46 points we only have a 5 point (6 if you consider the goal difference is a bit much) gap to close in the final 15 games. We're in the right form for it and team really seems to be fighting. I made a few changes and they've really worked.
First of all despite his age and how good Nilsson is meant to be Cameron is my starting striker. He gets goals and he provides them.
Secondly Pearce and Nolan don't get to play unless there's no way round it. I don't care what their stats look like they are worse than useless. Situ and Austin have it covered in the centre of defence and have it covered pretty well. I don't have to worry about Hanlon messing things up as I've moved him on for £1m to title chases Wigan. All part of the master plan to ruin them from the inside.
I also have to say Danny Rose and Gosling have been great. They irritate me because they pay so little attention to me (relatively low rep manager I guess) but they have been playing really well. Rose in particular. He reminds me a bit of Alan Smith - the determined tackling high up the pitch, not the being a thug bit. In the last match dived in with a tackle, dispossessed the right back just outside the area and then took it round the keeper. It reminded me of an Alan Smith goal.
The transfer window is open and I have just over 550k to spend. I don't think I'll be signing any super stars but I'll have a hunt. With 15 games to go I only really need to make sure I get into the play offs so my signings can be youth or cover.
