Bury FC: December 2011

Hi everyone….. Another update of my Bury FC story, this time December 2011!

The first four games of this month ended in wins. As usual Wellington Silva was the main player! He scored four goals and is much better than my other strikers.

After this game we had a long brake up untill 26th december where we would play 15th placed Rotherham. This was the start of a busy period of 3 games in 6 days so i had to plan for the other games also. Along with the Rotherham game, I had an eye on the Southampton game also which would take play 2 days later and that would be much harder as they were challenging for the title. I decided to make changed for the Rotherham game and player a whole new back four along with other changes. This is what it resulted in: :-(

We were back to full strenght for our next game against Southampton, and despite all of my rotation and plans, it resulted in 0 points for 6. :-( On top of that Robbie Brady missed a penalty and Sam Sodge picked up a fifth yellow card which would suspend him for the next game.

We had one more game left in the month, we couldn’t afford three defeats in a row. We were against Oldham at home, 7,000 fans turned up. The first half was pretty even. Guilaume Norbert picked up an injury which would keep him out for 3 weeks. In the second half, once again Wellington Silva scored and Daniel De Ridder finished completed the win for us.

Despite the 2 defeats, I was given manager of the month with 5 wins out of 7.

The league table saw us sitting first….

Well thats it folks!, 2011 is over in my game. Take care, Sayam
