After 17 minutes Pohang had shot four shots. All of them in goal.
5-2 was the result of this cup for us. I think this meant we finished 5:th in the Club World Cup.
Hello Mr. Top Scorer!
The job hunt hasn't proved to be easy...
I think I will wait till the summer to see if there are any jobs available in the new leaugues I've added. Until then...
Let's see what the top Nigerian team can do in the league.

So I will stay at Bayelsa until something interesting pops up. The Groningen job is insecure...

I will start by some Bayelsa statistics.
Top scorers
Top assists
Average rating
The top guys
I have been rambling on about these three strikers, but just look at them!
I don't really know what to do now. Should I stay, and try to win the league? Or should I head out in the world, trying my hands on another team and continent?
I have four massive transfers already arranged. Three top players from Heartland joining on a free, and the league's top passer from Kano Pillars.

Leg 2
Well, that was easy. With Kelechi away with the Nigeria squad, it was time for Terry Envoh to step up yet again. Left winger Ovoke scored two in the first half and then it was just for me to sit back and enjoy the show.
And some nice money to come with it.

Four goals from the Bayelsa Bomber!

Leg 1
Tony Alegbe. A straight red card in the 6:th minute. Smart. But we have the Top scorer in this tournament: Kelechi Iheanacho has so far scored 19 goals in the Champions League. But we couldn't hold them off the entire game, they scored a lucky goal in the 93:ed minute to make the next leg really interesting. Can't complain, I would have taken that result any day of the week. And with a man short - I'm delighted.

So, I ran through the games in the league, and we did quite ok. Problem was both Heartland and Enyimba were far better. The fact that both out starting goalkeeper and Opara was out injured for about six weeks didn't help either. Good thing I have Terry Envoh to fill in for my strikers. I'll show more stats in a review post later.
In the Cup we played Heartland in the semi final, and we equalized in stoppade time only to see them score in the 120:th minute...
We're in the final. I'm shocked. I thought this would be a learning year for us and that we would get absolutely demolished by the teams from Egypt, Algeria and South Africa. But no. We bossed our group, secured the first place with two games in hand. Then we rather easily went passed AS V.Club from the DR Congo in the semi final. So now we will face Orlando Pirates again, a team we beat at home 2-0, and lost 3-1 away in the group stages.
On to the final!
#190627 Itchygon

No rest here! A lot of games, and unfortunately a lot of draws. Opara just keps on scoring, now about 20 in some 30 matches! And Kelechi Iheanacho is having a good season as well, just been handed a full international cap for Nigeria, he didn't make the 2016 Olympic team though. But this year's high light is ofcours the Champions League. We beat Kabuscorp to enter the group stage, and once there we started off by smashing Egyptian champions Ismaily 4-2. Then we faced Ashanti Gold from Ghana, and we recorded another win. Delighted with that.

Cheers! He's been absolutely brilliant.

16 games in two months! (You only see 15 here, because the Super Cup was mentioned in the February report.
After some big games, we had somewhat of a hang over in the opening of the league losing 1-0 to Sharks. But after that we only lose points against Heartland. Or that point we actually won, scoring the 2-2 goal in the 94:th minute, although only 2 minutes was added on by the ref.
In the Champions League we knocked out Coton Sport from Cameroon with a 4-2 on aggregate. And have played the first leg against Kabuscorp from Angola. We had a really lucky draw there, we could have gotten Orlando Pirates (RSA), ES Sétif (ALG), Ismaily (EGY) or one of the Casablanca teams (MAR). Hopefully we can get a win at home to secure a place in the group stage.
As you can see our new striker pair (Iheanacho and Opaka) are really finding eachother. Iheanacho has 12 goals and 8 assists in 16 games, and Opara has 14 goals and 6 assist in 16. Amazing!

In the Preliminary round we easy went past Civics from Namibia. Opara with a hat trick on his debut!
And then our first trophy under my reign.

As there are Champions League qualifyers coming up, we didn't play as many friendlies as usual. Three good wins, nothing out of the ordinary.

First the outs: Akanji was the left winger / scout I had as a back up. I would have liked to keep him, but he wasn't interesred in a new deal. I couldn't get Malian midfielder Traoré to sign a new deal either which was a big blow, he later signed for Dolphins with only 200 € more per week than I tried to offer him. Well Dolphins are in the relation zone at the moment. Ha ha. Barnabus Imenger is sharing Traoré's faith. Afolabi is an aging central defender, who is actually still quite good, but I have signed a couple of new ones so I thought I could let him go.
The ins (the interesting ones):
Shola's replacement. Has scored a lot of goals in Azerbaijan...
New starting center back. Last year we struggled a bit due to too slow defenders, Ali's a lot quicker than the others. Solid.
Young, pacey, good tackler. I like this one. He can also do a job as a winger.

Indeed. He only played 10 games last season, and I'm really looking forward seeing him fit for a full year.
#189662 Itchygon
itchycoo
Yeah, it was shocking. Shola remains in the club as a (really good) youth coach. I have found his replacement, I can't remember his name but he's Nigerian and was a big star in Azerbaijan...
Oh how I searched for chat that could keep him playing...
If I remember right, the Nigerian league is 6:th in Africa with Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco and South Africa in top five. I'll post a screen shot when the computer's up.
Thanks for the comments guys!

Started the month by getting thrashed in the Cup final. They scored two from corners and one from a free kick. I need to get a set piece player in.
We drew to Shooting Stars in the second to last match of the season, and that was enough for Heartland who won their last 10 games in the league. Gutted.
But look at that come back from Shola Ameobi! He came back to play the last three games and scored 4! It's so sad that it was his last matches in his career, he could have a couple of good seasons left.
Heartland, champions for the third year in a row.
But good news:
Not as good yough intake this year, but this one could be alright.

Lots of games played during these months, with a mixed bag of results. Heartland keeping the pace and is now only one point behind us with six games to go. The first game next month will be the cup final against them - it could be a double, and it could be nothing. Iheanacho has returned from his injury, and played the last two games. He looks rusty, as you could expect.
Sold another young player for a good fee. Hopefully we get an equally good intake next time. He will not leave until March however, needs to be 18.
#189224 Itchygon

Will do! He's only a back up, so I don't care much. And I'm not about to change my tacticts to suit him.
Thanks Johno! It doesn't seem to be any money unfortunately. Just a loan to be payed... But come January, my young midfielder will leave for France and the money problems sgould be solved.
