The last game of the month was at home with 22nd placed Barnet, we had to win the game and finish the month with another three points in the bag. The players were a bit nervy after the last results and we had a poor first half that ended 1-1 with a bit of luck on our side. We played much better in the second half and went 3-1 up after a great spell of domination. We suffered a bit in the last 15 minutes, Luke Rodgers (a former player of ours, I sold him at the beginning of the season) was determined to cause us some trouble. The final whistle was a blessing, I was very happy that we won the game, it will be a good boost for the morale.
We were 12 points ahead of 2nd placed Shrewsbury and 19 points ahead 4th placed Crewe, with a good run in February we could see promotion getting very close :)
We won’t have any very difficult games in February, so I guess we could get 15 points out of the 5 games…
That’s how January was, a full month with transfers and tough matches. If we’ll manage to get those 15 points in February things will look almost done for us, we could take a break in March :) See you tomorrow with the February update, don’t miss it! :)

You have made some good signings there mate, i don’t know most of the players but i am very familiar with Sean Morrison. He was my captain in my Vauxhall game in FM09 and played for me for 10 seasons. I can say he is quite reliable and can play all the way to championship, i hope he develops well in your game. Well i predict you will gain promotion probably in March based on your form. Keep it up..

Thanks for the comment Lye, I hope Morrison could do well indeed, he might have what it takes to stick around a few seasons.

Thanks Eddie. We’ll probably have some motivation problems when promotion will be already in the bag but I hope I’ll be able to overcome those issues.

Hey Johnny, some good signings, you have a large squad now.
Tinga is an interesting player, I didn’t thought he could sign for a league 2 team, but probably Eriksson helped to raise your team reputation.
I know Andreev well, cause I bought him for my Peterborough side, he scored 2 key goals for my promotion this season.
I need to say that you have bought Andreev on steroids…my own version has only finishing=11!!
But has better mental skills, probably.
Well done.

Thanks for the comment Paine. The team’s reputation seems to be good indeed, I was surprised that right back Dananae accepted to sign, he’s a fresh Romanian international that has good prospects right now, he’s targeted by PSV Eindhoven in real life. Andreev is a talented striker, I have high hopes about him.
