So an amazing run has left us in the play offs. However there are issues to address for Spanky. We need to look for a goalkeeper, Aaron McCreary only has a few weeks left on his loan deal and Gorf has looked shaky at times. Another area to look at is at the back. I think quality is lacking and a couple of short term loan deals are up soon. I have noticed that Freddy Adu is available on a free, but due to not having the wage budget at the time I couldn't sign him, he is interested and is someone we should look at singing. Marvin Elliott has yet to play as he got injured whilst on duty with Jamaica, but when he is fit I expect him to really solidify the midfield.

Overall a pleasing stint. Just a pity it has taken me so long to play it. Sorry lads.

Big big win. Birmingham are struggling but they have a side that has many quality players. Goals from Holman and Becks ensured a nice victory.

A sad moment for me, but it had to be done. There are now better strikers at the club and with his wages being quite hefty it was essential to get him off the books. Cheers Biggers.

Holman stole the game for us. The lad had been on a baron run. Glad he's scored now and hopefully he will continue it in the future.

Another man out and more breathing space on the wage front. Really the man I had to get rid of to allow me to sign Marvin Elliott.

Malbon not getting a look in at the moment. Holman has had his moments. But I am a fan of Holman.

Some Transfer News:

With wages a little tight ... and Liam Walker on a hefty £1.3k I decided to get rid. Couldn't get any money but its room off the budget.



I thought I had a deal in place for Stuart Taylor and Khalid Al-Rashidi. Both fell through. So went for someone I know who could do a job for us.

Bit of a blow. Unsure on what to do. He's played outstandingly well for us, so won't be terminating but will be looking for a month loan deal to cover him.

Sneaked a one goal win against a strong Yeovil side.

What was more concerning for me ...

Big result for us. Broke the rut of draws we seemingly had gotten ourselves into. Still looking promising for a crack at the play off places.

Went 1-0 down to Colchester's danger man despite playing some good football. Step up young hot shot Maguire who really at the time pulled it back. We were all over them but couldn't finish the game.

A bore draw against a struggling Preston side.

So here how the table looks after my first month in charge.

In a perilous position. Win a few then we could be in the play offs, lose a few could be near / in the relegation zone. All to play for.

A good victory that will see English Premier League giants Manchester City head to The New Lawn. The game was a real bore, with Yeovil attempting to play possession football and playing very deep. Pantsil got us the victory, but in reality it was a very dull game.

Monster win against a very strong Coventry City outfit. Beckham was another class and was a real factor in the win. Tackling, passing and finishing was crucial from the ex-England man. Youngster Maguire was sensational also picking up the match ball.

Love a replay does the Green Army. Feeling we could steal this when we play them at home.



Big game at home to follow if we can put away Yeovil.

Holman is an absolute monster. Clinical finishing from him gave us a most valuable three points.

A decent signing for the club. Marvin has played at a good level of football and his experience in the midfield will be valuable.

Massive win away from home. It was a game were we soaked up pressure but when we attacked we made it uncomfortable as anything for Stevenage.

A game we should have won. We had the line share of possession and chances on goal. Sadly it was not to be.

Last gasp penalty in extra time meant we were heading into the 2nd Round. In reality it was a game that we should never have won. They were all over us.

Been busy, will have it done by tomorrow.

Pretty sure it's Spanky?

Do the stats tell you everything? Can you guess what happened?



I hand over to Fola.

£400k injection, still £400k in the red. Promotion is really, really needed.

So the first leg. A bore draw, with both sides having numerous chances to finish the game and claim an important goal for the second leg. I was pretty confident, a change of tactic had proven successful as I feared that Oxford with counter the normal tactics used.

Secured our future at the club.

So last game of the season ... pressure was on us. Chris Kamara, couldn't have scripted this one better.



The stats will tell you one thing, it was a game where we had plenty of chances. We created loads of chances and really bombarded Hartlepool goalkeeper.

But ... what was the score you ask?

Anger is not the word to use. Bottled it big time. We had all the chances.



Stats says it all.



All comes down to the final game of the season. Fate is in our hands, we play Hartlepool away. This is doable. Believe.

Kissock's wonder strike, gave us a crucial 3 points. The lads worked their socks off, the goal we conceded was bloody soft. But what is important is the 3 points take us into the play off places. It is now down to the lads with two games left.



All to play for.
