#291044 Holliday game
Dyrim
Febuary only held three matches. Nothing special happened we won our home match drew and lost away from home. So thats basicly as you would hope for. Last match we came back from 2-0 down left back Kai van Hese scoring both goal identical with a diaginal shot across the face of the goal.

I reached my second century as Salisbury manager in the month januari.
The transfer deadline has past and we have been busy finding new addions for the team. But the sad news first. Both Renaldo Jongebloet as Joeri de Kamps have accepted offers from other teams and will be leaving us after this season. Further did i sell both Victor Zapata-Caicedo and long serving Christian Kabeya, who has been with us since i took charge of Salisbury. Both went on free transfer with a 50% sell on clause.
Ofcourse we also brought in some new players. I preparation of the departure of Renaldo Jongebloet i bought Diogo Rosado for € 350k. Further did i manage to bring in Wes Hoolahan on a no cost loan deal till the end of season. And when you can sign Ronaldinho do you hasitate? Well I did but he is on a player/scout deal and low wage. Hoping to use him later to get some South-America reports in when i can scout overseas.
My good preformances as a manager are starting to get noticed more and more. I got two new job offers this month. One was very temting, who doesn't want to spend a lot of days on Teneriffe. But in the end turned both of them down.
We also played so footbal in januari. We started of the month great with 3 wins and a draw. Especialy pleasing was the 1-2 win over Tranmere who where league leader at thet point. After those 4 matches it went downward a bit losing two and drawing one. But we are still well heading for a play-off spot and can even dream about direct promotion, altho it is a wild dream.

December has been a packed month with no less then 9 games played, icluding a away trip for 5 matches in a row. We started with a home loss against Notts County, conceding the only within the minute.
After this disappointing result and other disappointmant game. Not getting past Aldershot at home for the FA-cup.
The Notts game proved learning moment for the team, because Renaldo Jongebloet score the only goal after just 18 seconds. Altleast a good start for our 5 games away from home trip.
Next two games ended in 1-0 losses including the replay agains Aldershot for the FA-cup. A shame because a win would have seen us play West Ham away.
But the team bounced back battering Bournemouth 1-4. With the first 2 goals within 5 minutes. The only goal Bournemouth scored was an unmarked clean header in the top corner by Daniel O'Reilly
And Daniel O'Reilly score an other own goal to give us a 1-0 defeat against Portsmouth.
Next league leaders Stevenage and with most key players to jaded to play a hard game to get. But With most of my second eleven on the pitch we ran away winning 2-1 Sinan Keskin scoring the winner making his first senior goal.
A victory against Leicester would leave us in a good league spot going into the new year. And my team delivered, a solid 1-0.
The board also made more funds availeble if i upgraded my season expectations, so i went from mid-table to top-half. Giving me money to spend. Now i have to think if and how i want to spent.

Time moves on and so do we. But not without trouble. This month we seemed hopeless going forward, we are in controle in most of the matches but are having trouble getting our shot away. And even if we manage to fire its either a blanc or its blocked. Anyhow we are not getting on the scoresheet enough. Even against BSN outfit Harrowgate we failed to score (in two matches) in normal time. If our goal scoring doesnt improve it could turn out to be a tough bettle to stay in the play-off spots.

First match of the month saw us compete with fellow promoted Wimbledon. After an evenly matches first have we fell behind. Andréa Fileccia scored the equalizer with 20 minutes to play. Both sides tried hard but both goalkeepers stood firm. With time running out Yoshiaki Takagi score the winner, netting his first goal of the season, after a well played counter attack
Johnstone's Paint Trophy didnt have my name on it this season. We fell 2-0 behing within 10 minutes. We clawded one back behore the brake but couldnt quit make it in the end. Kind of a dissapointment because i felt we could go far again in this competition.
Against Carlisle we couldn't hold on to the lead twice, giving away the goals almost immidiatly after we scored ourselfs. But we didnt lose again. 2-2
Against Crawley we played a near perfect first halve. Going up 2-0, only to find out it wasn't enough in the end. One of the worst second halves i seen this season let them back, and they even could have won it.
We outplayed Sheffied United, only thing we can blame ourselfs this match is that it took over an hour to score the first. In the end Nicola Fiore netted the second with a blast from 30 meters out. But 2-0 wasn't nearly as good as our preformance.
Last match of the month was against bottem of the league Preston. We started of Fast And Furious, getting a goal disallowed after 10 minutes, for reason i am still guessing about. But only a few minutes after that Renaldo Jongebloet scored from a well waorked play to 1-0. After that te team seemed to switch off, and i fell asleep bored.
Now two months without league defeat see us climbing into the play-off spots. And that is what i aimed for at the start of the season. But maybe things can still get better. There still a lot of games we failed to close the game down when we are in winning positions. If we can improve on that we might even be in contention for direct promotion.

I do agree, but the last two draws are matches where the opponents where better. So that doesnt feel that bad. On the other hand we should have won the Crewe match so it all evens out on points.

This month we started with a 0-0 draw against Oldham, our best oppertunity fell to Takagi but he only found the sidenetting. A 85 minute counter gaves us a scare, but at the end they only hit the post.
The Chesterfield match was a tremendous one. With them lying in 2nd place our hopes wheren't high. We started well, but after 15 minutes they took controle and score after 25 minutes, on the 30 minute mark the got a penalty, but it was birrliant save by Andrea Caroppo to keep us in the match. Just after halve time they did get the second goal. But the team bounced back scoring three time in 8 minutes. But Chesterfield didn't want to give up, and they went out full attack. It brought them the equalizer in the 70th minute. And with them going for all 3 points Richard Haklander score the winner at the other end.
Crewe where down to 10 man early as there striker got sent-off getting a second yellow card for diving. An other goal from a corner gave us the lead. But we didnt took full advantage of the extra man. And as often is the case we the goal doesnt come your way it falls at the other end.
Next three matches where great, we got a 1-0 home win due to a good strike from 20 meters by N'Toko, and 2 1-1 draws which both could have been worse. But we remained unbeaten this month are are crawling closer to the play-off spots.

I didnt expect to win the leugue this time, i just hope i could compete for a play-off spot. But the start of the season hasn't been the greatest, altho it could have been worse.
First match was a hard battle against Tranmere at home. As this was the first match in our new stadium i hoped we the team could bring some extra. We went ahead from a wel taken corner kick and a great header, but only a few minutes later a defensive mess left the goal exposed and Tranmere took full advantage. But substitute Martín Kozhuzarov got us the winner with a well placed shot.
Next up Championship outfit Bristol City, the gave us absolutly no chance at all we where "lucky" only to lose 2-0. I the mean time I was still worried about our home grown players when a good addition became availeble on the transfer market. Eventho i was well covered in the spot of right back i didnt hasitate and snap him up.
My scouting team in the meanwhile had found a nice prospect in Scotland, and with some transfer budget to spare i wraped him up aswell. He will start in my U18 but i have high hopes for him, and probably will feature him in the main squad later this year.
Back to playing football, or maybe i shouldn't. My team put down a great preformance again Stevenage, only to see us down 3-0 at the break. They tried hard but couldn't turn things around anymore the 2nd 45 minutes.
Bournemouth gave us the early lead Rob Kiernan heading home a Yoshiaki Takagi corner. A rather boring fist halve didnt give anything else to see. Just after the break the 1-1 was made. But the team woke up and bounced back Andréas Fileccia being the most alert on a rebound.
A hard confrontation agains Leicester next, we got 3 bookings in the first 8 minutes, but went ahead by a header from an other good corner. At the verge of the whissle Leicester came back with an incredible shot from the edge of the area. Second halve gave a lot of battle but no football and no goals.
Swindon went ahead on a soft penalty, but i wont complain because the out played us (Swindon 22 shots; Salisbury 3 shots).
This all leaves us mid table and leaves me with more questions then answers about the team. I ll have to see how the season unfolds.

Our new right winger:
Back-up at left back/left wing:
Back-up at the left back/left wing:
Back-up as attacking midfielder:
To try to make this season a succes the players and technical staff worked hard in getting used to the new tactic.
Only trouble i am starting to run into now is that almost all english based player are asking for insane wages. Thats the reason i have to turn to foreign signings. And that makes me (very) low on players with the Home-Grown status.

We didn't to badly at all financialy this season, making a hugh profit even if you deduct the investments done by the take-over.
Takagi was also the player with the highest average rating in the league and ofcourse the buy of the season.
He wasn't the only player preforming well for me this season as Kai van Hese also made the seasons best eleven.
Going into the new season with a good feeling. And i even got a decent budget to get some improvements in.

But there are always complications. Both my starting strikers where out injured, i look to my back-ups to shine. Only slight problem, O'Conner has score a single goal yet. So i have to turn to Takagi again to shine or make others shine.
As the match unfolds, the first halve was you call uneventfull. So all came down to the second halve, and ofcourse the team doesnt have a good track record playing second halves. But they did well, we gave away nothing at the back and createted 4/5 very good chances. But the strikers failed (again). Ad so the game went into overtime. And the extra time didnt start good. My hope in dark days Takagi got injured almost immidiately. So tihing started to look darker and darker. But then Kabeya, the subsitute for Takagi, broke free on his favorite right side and provided a cross my striker couldn't even miss. Altho he tried hard to squander it, the rebound fell to him with the goal empty. We helt on the the lead without any real trouble and so my dream still came true!

So with a bit of renewed hope we went into the play-offs. I felt lucky to started with a home match. SInce our form wasn't to great i felt it would be easier to play at home to build a confidence. And everything worked out nicely. An early goal gave the whole team a lift and they ran away with an easy victory. On stupiditly giving away a second halve penalty to leave a shimmer of hope to Kidderminster.
Now with a good first match under our belt things must go unlikely wrong not to advance to the final. And things didnt go wrong. Again a good first halve display getting 0-2 ahead. Again second halve was much worse, that still is a problem. But hopefully we can improve that in the final.
More very soon.......
