What a fantastic win against top of the table Tranmere. Kenny Davis is having an absolutely amazing season and scored another two goals for us. He started off at right back before I moved him to centre midfield at half time. We are on some good form now and hopefully can reach the Play Offs if this continues.

We have completed the signing of experienced midfielder/striker Ben Strevens. He will come in and work with the youth team as well as giving me an option on the pitch. He made 32 appearances last season at this level for Eastleigh so I think he still has the quality at this level.

Disappointed to not get the win but really happy to have kept up our unbeaten run. I decided to give Ben Strevens a start and he did well grabbing an assist for Habergham's goal. It was Sam Habergham's first goal of his career.

Bondz N'Gala's second half header was enough to gain a replay against Cheltenham. We played quite a rotated side and it is pleasing to have avoided defeat. Looking forward to seeing how we fare in the replay.

Made a few changes for this one and decided to throw Chez Isaac straight into the side following his injury. We dominated from start to finish and despite conceding a weak penalty late on, we managed to come away with the win.

It's a real shame to seeing Modeste ruled out for pretty much the rest of the season. He has had a few knocks recently so had been in and out of the team but he had really come into form recently. Time for Moses Emmanuel to step up and make that left midfield birth his own.

Twenty matches in and despite our poor start to the league campaign, we are sitting two points away from the Play Off positions. We are thirteen points off relegation so the Play Offs really need to be our aim now.

Ah, decision time. Northampton are currently bottom of the League Two table and have offered me the chance of an interview. On paper, they are a much bigger side than Braintree so it is definitely appealing. On the flip side, they are currently in administration which would mean I would not be able to bring in any players if I was offered the job. I have decided to go to the interview and see what happens. Completely undecided at the moment. @Dan, @Suffolk Seasider, @Shedender, what do you think I should do?
Grimnir
What's their squad like? If it's small and decimated by injuries, then probably not savable!

Thank you for the comments lads. I have taken your comments on board and will have to make a decision when they get back to me. With all the job speculation, I still had a job to do at Braintree against Cheltenham. Unfortunately after a good performance from the lads, we ended up losing out on penalties.

Still no word from Northampton so still fully focused on doing well here at Braintree. In a close game, we were denied due to a late goal from Lincoln. Moses Emmanuel scored a great goal for us on the hour mark.

Well that's the end of that then. It's a shame because I was probably going to take the job. I am enjoying my time at Braintree but the opportunity to join a club with the stature of Northampton doesn't come along every day. I will not be actively looking for a new job mind, I will be looking to gain an unexpected promotion with Braintree.

After all of the speculation linking me away from the club, it was nice to get a clear answer so I can concentrate on Braintree. Simeon Akinola was given a rare start and he didn't disappoint as he scored a fine equaliser for us. He was a player who I was expecting big things of, lets hope this is the start of something.

Brilliant win against a strong Eastleigh side. We dominated from start to finish in a win what should of been more. We defended fantastically and Moses Emmanuel's sixth goal of the season was enough to gain us the win. We face Barrow next who are third in the league.

What a win and what a great performance from the lads. Barrow were sitting in third position in the table but we more than deserved our win. Mitch Brundle came off the bench to head in the winner before a rare goal and appearance from Charlie Strutton off the bench secured us the win. The Play Offs are getting closer.

Bore draw. Fair play to Telford as they defended well but we were out of form today and couldn't break them down. Nice to keep our unbeaten run up though.

To be honest, I am really not bothered about this competition but it's nice to get another win. Simeon Akinola scored two classy goals before the in-form Moses Emmanuel secured the win for us. Nice to see Akinola hitting a bit of form.

We managed a draw in a hard fought match away at Dagenham. We went ahead early on through Captain Kenny Davis before they equalised. Simeon Akinola showed why he is keeping top goalscorer Stefan Payne out of the side with a great finish but we couldn't hold on. Not including the penalty loss against Cheltenham, we are now 15 games unbeaten.

I hope so mate. It may be with Braintree if we can keep up this form.

Just get Braintree to the Premier League and make Northampton regret not giving you the job.

But I hope to see Braintree swapping places with them in League 2 and seeing which of their players might make it in to your team ;-)

@Benignsource I'm back! We played really well in this one and centre back Bondz N'Gala's early goal was enough to grab us the win. It should of been more to be honest but we missed a few chances. Nice to keep up the unbeaten run.

Decided to play the same side despite only playing two matches a go and it worked a treat. We went a goal down early on but fought back and deserved the win in fairness. I can't see anybody beating us on this form. We've moved into the play off positions too which is pleasing.
