transfer overview
i didnt want to sign too many players as it might dissrupt the harmony in the dressing room and the fees they all came in for was all amazing also i brought in santa cruz in for a loan as i thought we needed some more firepower and it was on loan because we didn't want to pay all of the 70k per week wages as that would mean the players may get gealous and want wages like that, at the moment we are looking for the move to be made permanent considering on how he does this season.

most results were great apart from the 0-0 draw with torquay wich we completely dominated but just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net and the barnet game wich somehow we got dominated and got a couple of goals wich stopped us going back to birmingham in shame. BRING ON THE PREM!!

very poor start to the season and will need to pick up with performances if we're going to reach that top 10 finish but the players showed great potential when playing against stoke and mk dons so they definitely can do its just getting them to do it consistently
