Season 49 (12.11.14/8.02.14)

[fugazi]

We have lost the lead in the League since the last report here, due to another draw, making that our 5th draw in 8 matches. We're trailing behind with 1 point less, but we still have to play the current leaders in the last round of the season. So it looks like it's gonna be interesting till the last match. It wasn't all bad though, since that draw was against nr 3 in the League, of similar strength and we have won our next 2 matches convincingly with 5-1 each. We also managed to get through to the semi's in the CL with a 1-0 and 4-2 win. We'll be facing a strong opponent today and hoping we can keep up this form.

In an effort to curb the trend of draws, the manager decided to get back to basics with tactics and formations used last season and at start of this one. It seems to have worked. The feeling now remains that all that tweaking to change things around has done more harm then good.

The last week of the season is also where we start looking forward to the next. First squad quality signings won't be signed until next season, while our reserves will gradually be sold before end of season preferably. Possibly some free agents will be signed to increase our budget for next season. Our former captain and midfielder who was under pressure due to his poor performance dominated the headlines when he was caught with his pants down by a popular website accompanied by 2 black cladded creatures wielding torture devices. Which would acount for his p**poor performance lately. After such travesty we just had to let him go. Against all odds we did get a good price for him though.
