The big moment was finally there, the home game with Championship side Cardiff in the Carling Cup last sixteen. We had the chance to get through to the quarter finals but I was expecting a very difficult game against a team that was supposed to be better than us. Both goalkeepers saved a few tricky shots in the first 15 minutes of the game but we were looking good, dominating. Tomas Pekhart took a shot in the 19th minute, the keeper parried it with a fantastic reflex but winger Romain Gasmi was there and pushed it in! Only one minute later striker Adam Szalai robbed a defender went right through and passed it into the back of the net! And he did it again right before the break but this time he finished things off with a powerful header from inside the box! I couldn’t believe it, we were 3-0 up! We played very well in the second half too, we didn’t give Cardiff any chance!
We were through to the quarter final but the draw was quite cruel, we’re going to meet Liverpool at Meadow Lane! We don’t have many chances of getting through to the next round but at least our fans will be able to see some fantastic players like Gerrard or Torres playing…
The last game of the month was away at 11th placed Hartlepool, we had to get back down to earth and fight for another three points. We solved things before the break, Matt James and Adam Szalai scored after breaking through the middle of Hartlepool‘s defense but we missed quite a few chances in the second half.
Fifteen games played in League One and we were still top of the table! Huddersfield were right behind us though, we have to keep fighting as there’s still a long way to go.
Adam Szalai was elected Player of The Month in League One, he had a fantastic run in the last games: he scored 6 goals in five league appearances! And he had a great season so far, 15 goals scored in 14 games! I think that our fans will have a lot of fun this season with him and Pekhart upfront :)
We’ll have quite a few cup games in November and we’ll finish the month with the fairytale game against Liverpool at Meadow Lane, I hope to see 20,000 fans in the stands!
What do you think, can we beat Liverpool? You’ll find out the result soon, stay tuned!
