Matchday game 1 of the Lithuanian A Lyga. I am very nervous.





I have chosen to leave Bruno on the beach and use him as an extra defender. Bruno understands why I have done it and has said he wants to help the team stay in the league. Last coffee before kickoff.

A few encouraging words to my players then I said " Go out there and play your best football I know you can do". Then I said to Modestas "Lead us to victory" then they left the dressing room. The banging of football studs and the crowd screaming.

I am very proud of my team 1-1 draw and the young players got over 6.5 in there ratings. So for the first game really happy.



The day after the first match. I decided that we needed to keep up the hardwork and prepare for game 2. Training was hard and a lot of Tactic training.

Matchday 2 came, away to Suduva. We still had injury problems so a few kids came in. We lost 4-0 and Sayyi got Sent off and the whole of Lithuania got to see
angry and frustrated. I took the team inside the dressing rooms and I told them " Changes will be made for the next game ,If you want to play for this team. I expect better".

A few days of hard training and we needed a change so I changed the tactics to 4-5-1 with wingers and I told Andrius Velička he would be up front on his own.

Matchday 3 came, let's see if my idea works and it did. We beat Atlantas 2-0 in front of our crowd. The manager of Atlantas said our pitch was unplayable and it shouldn't of happened.

A few days after matchday 4 at home to Lietava. After the last game I wanted us to play like we did last time. Audrius Kšanavičius was brought in on the wing for his first game and he was outstanding. Mindaugas Kalonas was back from injury and he came into my starting eleven. 3-0 victory. We decided to reward the team with a meal in town.

We went to Forto Dvaras. I restaurant in town I went to with my wife.





I know I should of just concentrated on our next game but the boys needed a bit of team bonding. Deep in my mind is our next fixture away to Stumbras.





After a few losses and a lot of yellow cards. My board have told me my job is safe ,How ever the league don't like the yellow cards.

Life in Lithuania is very different to the uk but I am enjoying life here. We have a couple of weeks off till our next match because international friendly's and we have a few players in those match's.

Sudova are 2nd and they are our next match. I have decided time to bring Stulga a young forward in to the starting eleven. Stulga knocked on my door" Knock, Knock" and then he asked me very sincere " I am sorry to disturb you boss, could I have a word." I replied " of course, what's the matter". He then asked if he could play in the first team a bit more. I told him the truth. " Your very inexperienced and you need time to gel but I have thought about starting you against Sudova. Please don't let me down".

Out he went with a big smile on his face and I am thinking I hope this is a good thing.



Sudova have arrived and I am in the dressing room. Stulga is nervous because it's his chance to become a regular. I stood there and said" I want you to go out there and show that underdogs can give you a game".

We kicked off and 35 minutes of shots not going in Stulga strikes. The game finished 1-1 draw but after first game we played we where hammered. We are fith in the league and our objectives are to not get relegated. So we are doing better than anybody could ask.



After a while we had a poor run of games with no wins and a few draws.

There we lay 7th and no hope of moving. Stulga has now decided he wants first team football or he will move on to a big team. I thought punish him and put him in the B team and hope somebody wants him. I have also been asked by QPR if I would take over the seat but I thought I would stay loyal. Little did I know, other managers are trying to get me fired.

Thing's just keep getting better I have switched my formation to 4-4-2 and Velicka is scoring a few goals and has been picked for the national team.

Just caught up man!! Hopefully results get better



We are now in August and we are still struggling to win games. Andrius Velička is my only threat and if he doesn't play we have no chance. Our last match was annoying we go two goals up by Andrius Velička and then Vietava came back to level the game with minutes to go in injury time.

After the game it was a dark mood in the dressing room. I slammed the door and I stood there and shouted at the top of my voice "What the hell happened " and everybody had no answer. So I know there has to be changes.

Our next game is Atlantas, they lie in 2nd. We have to change our plans and find a solution. I need a Coffee. " Coffee please secretary" I asked. With a cup of coffee , she placed it down and walked out. I think better with my coffee.



Everybody is watching this game. If we win , we could move to 4th. If they win they go top.

We won 1-3

Andrius Velička scored 2 and assisted on Audrius Kšanavičius goal. We didn;t move into 4th back to 5th instead but I'm happy with that.
Just caught up on this, is looking good so far man! Big things are coming!


The day after our win. I called the two players who played well and I praised them and I also asked if they could keep it up. Let;s see what happens.

Our next game is very tough and it's against 1st Trakai. Very hard game.


We looked like we didn't care and we where lossing 2-0 at half time.

Half time came I decided to bring three players on. Sayki, Beka, Simmonds. They changed our game and we fought back 2-2 at the end of the game.

Good to see a bond in your team and the work rate to pull it back! :D
Not bad at all! Keep up the work rate I guess!





Morning arrived. So I decided to go for a jog and take in the relaxing scenery. I have 10 games left and at the moment we are 5th in the league. Our objective was to not get relegated this season. The sweat is dripping off me from my jog as I ran by Kaunas Castle.





I needed a good jog, to figure out what I can do to make us win more. I have a few ideas. One is to bring the kid from our under 18s and see if he has what it takes.
Got a screen of the kid?
Hopefull your under 18 kid works out for you mate :)
