Blue Square Premier - Matchday 24 - Season Three
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/1lM1Cc6eBXQmtizg7YSQtKkBKzd1DAvyih8cnSWR.png

Absolutely battered against a strong Grimsby side. There is a huge gulf in quality in the division so not too bothered- bit concerned about the amount of goals conceded though.

Disappointing result against a very average Accrington side. We seem to any fire power up top at the moment, will be looking to change that come January. Will be making drastic changes.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tyY65wdhsivnOagLMOOkuaDcO9KDIALMBE8L5UEh.png

Two wins on the bounce as we beat bottom placed side Colwyn Bay. Jon Shaw hit is first goal for the club with a good header before Anthony Edgar secured the points late on. We are now four points clear of relegation. However, one bit of bad news is that Jon Shaw got injured soon after his first goal for the club, meaning his stay here will end prematurely and he's returned to Luton.

Successive defeats after this loss however we did play quite well. We were sloppy at the back for their two goals but Boyes missed an open goal in the final minute so we went away empty handed.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VIDBA6Xl1NyP3aAjmneViNgLv7Y1EqTmdJMMU5JY.png

January has now arrived, something I'm very excited about. I have decided to introduce some new tactics as well- I will be playing 4-5-1 and planning on containing them for a long period, looking to hit them on the counter when possible. Lets see if it strengthens up my defence. First game the tactics worked well, grabbing a well earned draw away to Macclesfield.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VHUZwkO3o269v34FybWcYi4uqPaySgwfYhPTpwGS.png


As you can see, we're only two points off the drop but there are more teams below us. Will be looking to make a lot of transfer action this window. Hopefully it won't backfire like it did at Wimbledon.

I held my former side AFC Wimbledon to a draw in my first time facing them since my sacking. I started with 4-5-1 to try and handle their attacking threat and it worked brilliantly as we came away with a vital point.

February 2015 - Transfer Window Shut - Outgoings

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Olz5jy8hEwCtZzPf4xAdvQtKOODLkbKLn2xtfOwj.png

There were major changes in my squad over January. Many were released with the club having to pay them off with others joining clubs on a free transfer. With 11 players leaving the club, it freed up the wage budget for me to bring in my own players and put my own style onto the team.

Will post the incomings next.

February 2015 - Transfer Window Shut - Incomings
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/q1f4g8jG20Lib6LWJ3pvyubJsy7Uaqn7jgOGsAcc.png

Thirteen players joined me in this transfer window, giving me the opportunity to completely revamp my squad. Every player has joined from the Football League giving us vital experience to hopefully get us out of the league. On paper, our squad now looks like a side that should comfortably stay in this division, maybe even push for play offs. Now the squad is pretty much my own, I would love to stay on longer at the end of the season- hopefully I'll be given the opportunity to do so.

Will post up the players individual stats now.

January Transfer Round Up - Incomings

Damien Mozika
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/feeZQkDx8O5OpBTQF6gAcVcqmKjRWH6jFBzaT8Sn.png

Former Bury hardman Damien Mozika has joined us on loan until the end of the season. He replaces loanee Ferre Bodde who returned to Doncaster and since gone on to gone Luton Town. Mozika's stats have dropped rapidly over recent seasons due to a lack of game time, I will be looking to get them stats back up by playing him regularly at Gateshead.

Matt Green
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/qqqnvnPy1Hd4RZ4gkolRgZyEcAqOtC2DYyMonpT5.png

Matt Green is a player who in real life, is banging them in for fun. He's another player whose stats have dropped due to lack of gametime for Mansfield. If we can find half of the player he was expected to be, we'll still have a very good player on our hands.

Bradley Bubb
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ITmHTbggXnJZoPmpbxxiOq0AXTP3LHa3ngcVnAtq.png

I went back to Wimbledon to re-sign Bradley Bubb. After bringing him in last January, he only managed one appearance, mainly due to the form of Dan Holman. He failed to feature this season for them and found himself on the transfer list. Hopefully now he will be able to settle down and bag some goals.

David Noble
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PvtATl3yXCgPMhfE4Zecc3MDg11X596RIVjSN9Uc.png

David Noble was playing regular League One football last season so for him to join a club in our predicament is a massive coup. He brings vital experience to the side and will become one of my starting midfielders in our battle to beat the drop.

Arron Davies
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/iYz1HeFaIhOze9P0BNgWTJwKn7DpBwwzZaCShP6g.png

Arron Davies has been capped once for Wales so we now have an international on our books. He played over thirty times for Exeter last season but this season has found himself surplus to requirements. Good capture for a club like ours.

Youssouf M'Changama
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/1Sdhy5z1cuG8rWxTtf1FqHGOC9dXoA5hdDlCy4hc.png

The Chang is still relatively young and has very good stats for a centre midfielder. He has found himself out of the squad at both Oldham and Hartlepool but hopefully he can settle here and be a success.

James Norwood
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PdUo2ViLbrmmoVgpsMdtr78j0fP1vDwxqPiDF5v3.png

James Norwood joins the club as our new highest paid player. He's a player I rate very highly in real life so that was a big influence in my decision. He can play on either wing and also up top and has good attributes to top it off. Hoping he will be a key player in our fight to stay up. I tried to sign him on loan but he rejected but accepted a permanent deal.

Ed Asafu-Adjaye
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/kwplrXVNrLz6sPhVFSZVCQHjYdqIE2oVw0miGlKJ.png

Cover for defence- good pedigree for a player so young.

Michael Raynes
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/5c6IpEqHQDF46ijWZTWRLqZvhEsnS6QSwyYgLUor.png

Raynes turned down a host of Football League clubs to help fight to keep us in the BSP. He can play either centre half or right back and is definitely somewhat of a coup for us. He has a vast majority of Football League experience, going to the Championship however he's still young so hopefully his best years are in-front of him.

Andrew Owens
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NtjUXF2azTdh7IaqnMw3wdrO9Ji9jO2xZRMcPRnq.png

I have signed Owens for my third time as manager. I had him at Southport, then Wimbledon but he has since found himself on the transfer list. He's a good player and I know how he plays so he should fit in well.

Andres Gurrieri
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jHpYsPi08maiRZmxcwvg14Mh327X5VcGLz2UVkVh.png

The versatile Argentinian joins us from Plymouth. He's a work horse and never gives up, something that we need in this division. He can play pretty much every position as well so his versatility is vital.

Elliot Benyon
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/8xIj4I7J77EsjPkoPb6h8TM2ML46igYKYHvg223K.png

Benyon has scored regularly in the Football League and joins from League One side Oldham. He has since been at Stockport this season who are currently leading the BSP and bagged 9 goals in 15 matches so he's on very good form- another big coup for us.

Matt Taylor
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fDBCxwhQQc9wSsIeYCMrINfAiMB7M1xtGNZnabby.png

Taylor is our final signing from League Two side Forest Green. He has been on loan at fellow BSP side Barrow earlier on in the season and scored 10 goals so he knows the league well and can hopefully be a success.

Some very good signings, but I like the likes of M'Chamgawa and Gurreira the best. Especialy the last one should be instrumental in midfield. Just a bit to much drawing to climb up the table, but your scraping in points, so that should keep you clear of relegation zone. Good luck with second season halve.

And do try not to get fired

We won our first match in twelve attempts and stretched our unbeaten run to six after a goos win against fellow strugglers Worcester. The defeat leaves us six points clear of the relegation zone with six matches to go. Don't want to be too optimistic but with the form we're on, I really can't see us getting relegated.
