[h1]So after already describing the Barnsley match we then went on to play Swansea. We took the lead through Morgan from a corner on the 40th minute. Swansea then equalised just before half time.

I told them to get out there and win. Just as I was getting a bit antsy Wonderkid Colin Kyle scored a very important goal. for us to land a 2-1 victory.

Then the Watford match went right down to the wire once Kyle and Jedvaj scored to make it 2-0 I thoroughly expected us to romp away but Mason Bennett hit 2 more in the early part of the second half. I then threw everything at Watford and it paid off when Adam Williams hit on the 91st minute I thought we had won it but I was dead wrong. Bennett got a hattrick against his old club. 3-3 it finished.

Man City then produced the late, late show when we were 2-1 up with 10 minutes to play. Gajski scored first then Italian Giacomo Congia made it 2-1. Then Manchester City scored 3 in 10 minutes to grab a deserved win. There was a lot of heated discussion on the sidelines but oh well. We are still around the top and there are 4 teams that are in control.

We played our first Champion's League knockout match too this month but unfortunatly a former player came back to haunt us. There are not many games where we do not score but we can come back.

We are lying third but at some point in the month we were top. Stoke and Bolton are playing well and performing way over what they were told they would be by the press. Villa, West Brom, MK Dons, Swansea and Barnsley are in a massive dogfight.

Jamie Nightingale gets the nod ahead of Guido Vadala. He has looked assured on the ball and also managed to get on the scoreboard.

The important match is the OM second leg in France. It is going to be a good month I think. We can beat Bolton, Derby and West Brom. We need to make sure we get no injuries.

Good Month In Premier League, Bad Champion's League

[/URL]

This month has been a success! I secretly wanted 8 points from 12 to still be in with a chance of winning the most unlikeliest of titles. Roman Rastoll hit the equaliser after we had scored in the 1st minute through Gabriele Ghedin. We looked good at half time and I told the guys that they were playing well.

Arsenal then got there well deserved equaliser on the 61st minute and it was a lapse of concentration by Ross Barkley. I know this sounds like a cop out but they did deserve it.

We were then involved in a thriller on ITV Sport. Bolton were 2-0 up within 14 minutes. I was going mad on the touchline and I tell you thank god for Thomas and Ghedin! Thomas, made a surging run into the box only to unselfishly tee it off for Gabriele to hit home the first. At half time I told them to get out there and fucking win! Show them what we have. On the 74th minute we took a corner and Thomas was there to head home the equaliser. Then 3 minutes later we were infront as Allione, who had been awesome all match crossed in for Wato Kuate to score an own goal. It made it 3-2 and a priceless victory for us.

We then smashed West Brom out of the water as a good warm up for the big match in France. Thomas scored again from a corner. We are making the best of the corners lately. Burn then hit an own goal to make it 2-0 to us and then ofcourse Superstar striker Gabriele Ghedin finished off the rout on the 84th minute to record a comfortable 3-0 win.

The Marseille match was interesting not because of the result but it showed how we definitely was not ready for the knockout round. We went down 5-0 but it was the poor performance that also went with it at Stade Velodrome.

Forest lost 5-0 at Stade Velodrome

I completely ripped into them and told them to make sure the East Midlands Derby was a better result.

It was nice to have a Derby against Derby that kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday Afternoon.
One of the league's defences so far this season continued to struggle as Derby lost to Nottingham Forest on a cold and very wet afternoon at The City Ground.

Midfielder Bobby Talbot gave County the lead with a well struck effort from a distance in the 13th minute. Striker Gabriele Ghedin eventually got an equaliser for Forest in the 51st minute with a poorly struck effort.

Midfield playmaker Guido Vadala scored what proved to be the winner on 71 minutes with an accurate finish.

This match was a huge victory because we needed to show the fans that the 5-0 defeat in France was a blip. I think we did.

I dont care that Man City have 4 game's in hand over us because we are joint with United even though they also have a game in hand over us but it is tight at the top. I am confident we will get into the Champion's League again though. Villa look doomed and based on the way West Brom played this month it showed that they are looking like they will go down too.

Month Ahead

[URL=https://imageshack.com/i/e9lez1p]
This month is the big one for us. IF we can beat Chelsea and Newcastle then we could well get the 12 points I am looking for this month. Newcastle and Southampton are the home matches but we have two matches on TV. The first is Chelsea on Channel 5 and then it is Eurosport for Joleon Lescott and Stoke. That will be interesting being a Super Monday 8pm match up.

Player, Young Player and Manager Of The Month Awards

[/URL]
Morgan Thomas is the Player Of The Month for March and also this month's Club Player Of The Month. He has scored twice and been a rock at the back. I am happy to win the award but I actually feel I have more to give and will continue to improve.
I think he is being modest but nevermind.

[URL=https://imageshack.com/i/e9khsnp]
Gabriele Ghedin also wins the Young Player Of The Month and again is thoughally deserved. He has 4 goals in 4 matches but also has set up 3. It is amazing to win this award, I would love to be Player Of The Month but this shows people that with Forest I am going places.

[URL=https://imageshack.com/i/g9o0fgp][/URL]
In a close run thing with Antonio Conte, he just pipped me to the Manager Of The Month award and I think he deserved it. I love the way he manages but I will definitely win next time.

The French Destroy Champions League Hopes For English

When we lost against OM in the Champions League people were saying we had lost to the worst team that was left in it. But OM and PSG have just thrashed Chelsea and Arsenal in the first legs.

First up was OM against Chelsea, who are 11 points off the top 4 so needed to win this season's Champions League to make sure they dislodged us because 4th spot is almost garenteed for us. OM though thrashed Chelsea Five nil though and then the next day Arsenal lost 3-0 to PSG.

French football is going through somewhat of a purple patch lately though. Gone are the days when PSG and Monaco dominated the league.

This Season's Ligue 1 Table So Far

Teams like Auxerre and Troyes, who are having some awesome regens coming into the club are now starting to catch Monaco and PSG. OM are having a poorer season but in Europe they are ruling!

Poor Month for The Reds

[/URL]

Picking up 4 points was not what I wanted but it will have to do anyway. We started with a shit result against Chelsea as all our matches got on Eurosport and Channel 5. So yeah Chelsea decided to out-perform us and smash us 5-0.

We then got a late, late goal through Vaclav Zajicek in the 92nd minute. Then Rebic and Williams hit before to get a priceless win against Lescott and his fucking moaning antics.

I was impressed with our resilliance in this match so thought we could win the last 2 matches.

John Stones scored an own goal and Gabriele Ghedin scored too but we could not hold on as Newcastle got the equaliser. Then Southampton slaughtered us too losing 2-0.

With two games to go against MK Dons and Manchester United the race for 3rd between us and United might come down to the last match. Anyone from Leeds to West Brom could still go down and lets see what happens.

I have gone for Vaclav. He has come back into the side because of Jedvaj's poor form but has performed very well considering we have had a poor month at the wrong time.
