September update! Weeks 5 to 8;
Review: Belfast Giants continue impressive domination in the league, and now stand as the only unbeaten team. Claymatts hold on to second place, with the top two starting to pull away from the rest of the pack at this early stage in the season. That aside, only 8 points seperate 3rd place from last, so there is still everything to play for.
Walter (Belfast Giants), Luis Suarez (Victory United), Alan (Silver Scorpions) and Matri (Los Leones) all lead the scoring charts with 5 apiece, while Cofie (Belfast Giants) and Andrea Pirlo (Silver Scorpions) share the assist chart, also with 5 each. Pirlo looks to be the form player this month, inspiring his team to 3 wins and 2 draws in an unbeaten September for the Silver Scorpions.
The only transfer news of the month involves the season long loan of Benito Raman (Padova Bumblebees) to Oostende.
My main concern this month is the amount of managers who's jobs are becoming insecure. I thought I could avoid premature sackings by giving everyone ?50k/week contracts until 2020, but apparently not. Ideally no one will get sacked, but if the worst should happen, we'll still follow your career and see how you get on at other clubs
And, just to round off, Manager of the Month goes again to Matt Smith, for another string of impressive results from the team predicted to finish 15th.
