October 2172/73
Another great month for the MIGHTY DUCKS as we look to push on and take the league by storm, we're a forced to be reckoned with this season, no doubt. The Premier League better watch it's back, as well as those unlucky enough to come across us in the Champions League.
A blotch of yellow
We looked as though we may struggle in this one,
Masawudu's effort was pegged back by the hammers before half time, we went in 2-1 up thanks to their centre back. After the half time oranges went round, there was no stopping us,
Lawson and
Sainrimat making the scoreline look rather comfortable in the end.
Another day, another 4 in the oppositions net. Crystal Palace were the victims this time, but they may feel slightly robbed as they took the lead 2 times! Our 2 major deals both netted in this one, it seems
Coureur is becoming an oddly common name on the scoresheet, good on the lad.
Booooo! Everyone hates a 0-0 draw, and it's even worse when it's again a European Giant of the modern day, and still a good team even in the 2170's. Truth be told, I didn't expect this kind of challenge, they bought their A game and took it to us, a hard fought result for the Catalans, I wonder whether they're independent by 2172?
Okay, this may be one of the most one-sided games I've ever managed, we dismantled the foxes at home, taking 29 shots with not a single response!
Scully got a run out in this one and gave me reasons to give him another soon, however, once again,
Lawson bagged, 3 in 4 this month.
Slight rotation for the League Cup game against Arsenal, and enough for us to squeeze through as victors by a 2-0 margin. It's always nice to see
Ibrahim on the score sheet, especially given his cup-based antics of last year. Once again
Lawson bags, 4 in 5.
Why not finish the month with a bang ey?
Sainrimat got to play, and score 2 against the club who he saved from relegation last year, we were 6-2 and cruising, but let Preston in to make the scoreline closer than the game was, 10 goals in a game is always fun. The game also allowed
Lawson to make his total 6 goals in 6 for this month, bagging 2 early on.
Player of the Month
He's been fantastic this month, a different class of player in all honesty. He picked up numerous MOTM awards and has been our hero throughout the month, often starting the scoring to get us to kick on into big wins. I am of course referring to our English right winger,
Steve Lawson.
Flop of the Lot
Kimbell has struggled a tad with fitness this month, allowing this lad to have a run out from time to time, unfortunately, his performances have been very poor, lacking the ability to play at our level. He was always rotation, but I don't want to rotate with him much more...Unlucky,
Liam Brown.
Coasting
8 points clear after only 10 games, sounds like my kind of league. It feels a tad like the Italian or French league of the present day, but I do not mind, the lack of pressure SO FAR on the league front allows us to look into Europe. Maybe, just maybe, this is our year.
No rest for the wicked
We have to keep going, November and the winter chaos will be at our door before we know it, and here's the November fixtures. As you can see, we finish our Champions League group this month, so you may know our next tie by then, providing we qualify of course. Additionally, a few mid-table Premier League clashes could spell our undoing, they're always tricky.
Until then, thanks for reading, really appreciate it, as always, comments will be reciprocated.
Thanks a bunch, Alex
