Down to third and 5 points a drift of first in the league after losing two in a row. Today I played against the only team with a better quality than me and he was 2-0 up before I was able to log on. Pulled it back to 2-1 and was all over him but I couldn't get the equaliser.

Looking at the next few days I have some of the "easier" teams to come so hoping I can pull closer to first spot again. I will be a bit disappointed if I can't end in a top 4 position - but I am not worrying about that just yet.

On a positive, after a tricky first few games in the Champions League I've finally recorded consecutive wins to give me a tally of 7 points from 4 games. 1 more win out of the next two should see me to the knockouts.

I also now have a complete roster (I only carry 20 players however, not the maximum allowed of 22) of players to choose from as all injuries and suspensions have disappeared. It will be day 10 of the season tomorrow and it will be the first time this season I have had that luxury.
