First things first, an early Christmas present for me. The stadium expansion was complete and we could move home. 5,000 capacity, 1,000 of which seated.

Overall an average month at best but with us entering the winter break way above the expectations I had I have no doubt now we will stay in the league.

The 33 points that we have right now, I feel could be enough for us to stay up regardless of anything else. Now comes the challenge to see how many points we can put on the board.

Here is the team at the half way point.

The lack of goals in the side is probably the biggest concern that I have currently.

Great to see you picking up points consistantly! Just need to find a top striker now!

My issue is with still being a relatively small club it is hard to sign anyone in Belgium. Nobody seems to want to come to us and if they do they want huge wages that I refuse to pay. I have a month or so in game to find someone now, so I will see what happens.

Thank you fella!

So the break started off on a sour note.

Young startlet Vandenbulcke was sold to my parent club. Sadly he wouldn't sign a deal with us and has chosen to step up a league.

Club could well profit in the future though, so I suppose it is a good deal for a club of our size.

I decided to strengthen a little, more for cover than a first team birth but have bought in the following players to help.

Another decent set of results, delighted with the way that everything is running at the moment. Players seem to have started to really show some fantastic potential and the general play is excellent. On the whole we seem to be a tough team to break down.

The league position is more than healthy, in fact I would have snapped your arm off if I had been offered being in this position at the start of the season.

Not a bad set of games to say the least.

And at least it gives us a chance of the play offs.

Actually it is completely in our hands. However we have three very tough games to end the season.

All of these sides are above me in the league, so it will be interesting to see what happens but in truth I hold out very little hope.

In fairness though whatever happens it will be one heck of a cracking season. When the end of the season arrives I will be asking for the club to upgrade the youth facilities, as they are poor at the moment.

Brilliant work mate! I hope you get your wish granted for the facilities at the end of the year!

We shall see, I hold out little hopes to be honest. I refuse to sign a new deal with them until this request is granted otherwise we are going to be going no where fast. Sadly if I am to go out of a job then square one ensues and I imagine my choice in clubs will see me start from the bottom rung again. Fingers crossed I can stay with Torhout though, quite like this little Belgian club.
