Well that's the end of that then. It's a shame because I was probably going to take the job. I am enjoying my time at Braintree but the opportunity to join a club with the stature of Northampton doesn't come along every...

Ah, decision time. Northampton are currently bottom of the League Two table and have offered me the chance of an interview. On paper, they are a much bigger side than Braintree so it is definitely appealing. On the flip side, they are...

It's a real shame to seeing Modeste ruled out for pretty much the rest of the season. He has had a few knocks recently so had been in and out of the team but he had really come into form recently. Time for Moses Emmanuel to step...

Clean sweep for the lads in terms of the Conference monthly awards. Can't really argue with them. Captain Kenny Davis has seen himself moved to right back this season from his natural centre midfield role and he's done brillia...

19th September 2016
Signed as a cheap back up player to replace Sparkes when he's injured. Brought in on a non-contract deal so can be let go at any time. Plays as a right winger but left footed which will leave space for the right back to push forw...
Cheers @Suffolk Seasider, @Shedender and @Dan. I know I can always rely on you guys to be reading my stuff.
I cannot f*cking believe it.
At 64 minutes we were 2-1 up, with Haluk the world's best striker just about to take a penalty to make it 3-1 and most likely win us the league. Haluk misses, Dortmund score 2, Bayern win the league and we miss out on...
Tense but we managed to grab a win. We go into the last game against Dortmund three points ahead of Bayern. A draw or a win and we win the league.
Out of the Champions League to our biggest rivals in the Semi's. Lets hope we can win the league instead.
Bayern lost! We are three points ahead of Bayern with 2 matches to go.
Could we do it?!
Bayern lost! Level of points with Bayern with 3 games to go.
Would of been nice to grab a win in the home leg but happy to have kept a clean sheet.
Out of the Cup in the Semi's. Disappointing.
Four games to go, 3 points behind Bayern.
18th September 2016
Key man Daniel Sparkes has been ruled out for three weeks. It's obviously a shame for him to miss out but we should cope for three weeks.

Shame to see him ruled out as I've given him a run in the side recently. This may mean that I need to delve into the transfer market to bring in a replacement.
