Another unbeaten month lads! We won the Merseyside Derby, at Anfield! Not to mention two great results at home to Spurs and then United! If anything, we won the games we shouldn't have, and didn't beat the teams you'd have thought that we would! We kind of crawled out of the year mind, but two clean sheets is always a good thing.

We're two points behind 4th at the half way stage in the season. I'd take 5th, but the top four is in sight, so let's go for it!

Kudos to Coventry for getting this far! I won't take anything for granted, but we have a great chance of going to Wembley!
FA Cup 3rd Round Draw

The FA Cup draw wasn't as kind, however, as we have to travel down to London to face Spurs.
Player of the Month
Jerónimo Rulli

Our new no. 1 has started to concede less goals, with clean sheets against rivals Liverpool, and West Ham and Derby. Only three goals conceded by Rulli throughout December (In the Capital One Cup I play Howard), and the young keeper is growing in confidence!

What on earth is happening here? I thought I left a stable club behind, but Neil Redfearn is throwing all my hard work down the drain. I hope they can stay up, but it looks unlikely.
