I finally recovered from the World Cup and spirits were high, but I had something to do and that was to remove James as Vice Captain because he is no longer a first choice now. Ross is going to take over as vice captain.
Barkley now Vice Captain
I had been to watch some games but I will admit i delegated it so I could just recover from the World Cup and did numerous television interviews! I also spoke about my desire to manage another club at some point in my career but not for a while yet and would have to be a club that meant a lot to me.
I decided to name my squad for the World Cup Qualifiers against the Ukraine and Rep. Of Ireland. Luke James and Sam Byron both made the squad. Luke has carried on last season's form into the 2020/2021 season for Cardiff and I can not wait to see what he can do. Sam also is called up. He now plays for Newcastle, is in awesome form and I will be starting him against Ukraine as we now have a proper right back who is in form!

Expect to see Byram feature heavily in these next two years
Fraser is also out injured so I have decided to call in Alex McCarthy. McCarthy from Swansea has been excellent but unfortunately for him Joe and Jason are just amazing.

McCarthy replaces the injured Fraser Forster
Luke, who moved from Man City to join James at Bayern Munich over the Summer for 35m will also be in the team and I think we will qualify for the World Cup easily!
Spain won the bid to host the 2024 European Championships.
So as we walked out at Wembley for our first match to try and Qualify for Qatar 2022, I decided to put Byram in the team along with Cardiff striker Luke James.
Team to face off against Ukraine
James deserves his chance and will start alongside Danny Sturridge. I do feel a bit for Charlie but he knows this is a team game. Jack and Will start in midfield so new Vice Captain Ross is on the bench.
The match kicked off and I new that these fans are expecting us to jst keep winning, I could tell there was a lot of excitement for this Qualifying campaign. It did not take long for us to go 1-0 up. Sturridge and Ox combined ultra slickly to give Daniel a open goal and make it 1-0. There was nothing much in the rest of the first half but the second half was amazing! James and Andros were withdrawn for Nathan and Charlie to immediate effect as Redmond drilled a cross in for Austin to smash the bar!
Ten minutes later though Alex got his goal his overall play deserved when from 16 yards out he made it 2-0. Ukraine huffed and puffed but Chris was majestic at the back with Steven. They are the first choice pairing at the moment.
There was even time for England to smash a 3rd home with Sturridge and we had negotiated what many feel was our hardest match to a easy 3-0 win.
I told the players that they are on the verge of something very special here.
We then traveled to Dublin for the match against the Irish. Steven got injured so Phil comes in to partner Chris and Charlie starts ahead of James.
The match kicked off and the Irish started the brighter but it was us to hit first! Charlie scored yet another headed corner for us. These goals he has scored for us since I bought him in are invaluable. 3 minutes later and it was 1-1, Shane Long volleyed in a free kick delivered by James McCarthy but that lasted 3 minutes when Charlie hit his second goal of the day from yet another corner. We are superb at corners and no team wants to face us at the moment.
On the 30th minute Sturridge carried on his amazing form by netting our 3rd goal. He picked the ball up midway in his own half played Alex in and then carried on got the return and what a surprise goal 3-1. Half time and I was so chuffed I told them to go out and do the same. on the 49th minute and it was 4-1 when John flanagon diverted the ball into his own net from a Oxlade-Chamberlain cross.
We wasn't done though and sub Wilfried picked the ball up on the right wing and just launched this mazy run round 3 player and an unstoppable shot into the top corner!
Ireland did get one back but that was it we had won 5-2!!!!!! Big, Big wins for us and we are in pole position, is there another nation better in the world at the moment? I dont think so.
