Great updates, you know what your doing obviously, you've tightened the defence but aswell have built an attack force than makes teams shake in thier boots, or I would anyway lol.

I got the squad for Europe I feel just comes down to tactics and luck now

Review

A tough month with some big matches. Lukaku keep up his good form, the yongster won the Young Player of the Month again and the Goal of the Month. Collison scored his first goal for the club against Chelsea in the League Cup. The defence has seemed to improved but the performances have dropped in midfield. Still struggle to find the right balance of defence and attack.

not sure if i like it might just do stats for one match a month any ideas guys?
 
Like the new one, however the screenies take up loads of space, perhaps just for major matches eg. a win over the big 4 or a thrashing of someone that is around your level.
 
should be updating soon sorry for delaying have been working on a tactic on a other game to help this one

Results

(Away) Burnley 4-1: Controlled the game and could of won by alot more as attack was ripping the defence to shreds. The blues scored 4 well worked goals showing great teamwork. Unlucky to concede as Verkhovtsev was harshly punished as he gave away penalty. Goals from Witsel, Emanuelson, Lukaku and Vagner Love.

(Away) Man City 0-2: Still not up to the level of the big teams as breaks from City destroyed the defence. Veloso send off for second yellow on the 91st minute.

(Home) Newcastle 3-1: A great way to bounce back beating an inform Newcastle. After Xisco made it 1-1 just before half time, as soon as the second half kicked off Birmingham came out flying with Adu on fine form. Goals from Adu (2) and Lukaku.

(Home) Stoke 5-1: Birmingham got lucky for their 1st goal as a Johnson cross was deflected pass the Stoke keeper. Vagner Love scored a wonder goal running from the halfway line before finishing in style. Love went on to score a hat trick. Great team performance. Goals from Higginbotham o.g., Emanuelson and Vagner Love (3).

Review

The new tactic is working a treat as the defence looking tighter, plenty of goals and nice passing play. We are top scorers in the league and Vagner Love is the top scorer with 9 goals. Fabio is out for 3 months and Adu is out for 4 months. Adu will be missed as he is joint top for assists with 5. Lukaku won Young Player of the Month for the 3rd time running. Casey finished 3rd in Manager of the Month.

Results

(Away) Bolton 2-1: Helder Postiga put Bolton ahead early in the game but Jermaine Jenas made it level just before the break. Birmingham kept that momentum and scored seconds after kick off. The game was close but Birmingham nicked it. Goals from Jenas and Vagner Love.

(Home) Chelsea 3-2: A shock win didnt see this one coming at all. Lukaku drove his side forward the whole match. Birmingham left it till the last second to win the game as Verkhovtsev headed home a corner 5 minutes into injury time. The Blues deserved it.Goals from Lukaku (2) and Vagner Love.

(Away) Middlesbrough 4-2: Birmingham again showed they power in front of goal netting 4 goals yet again. The Love-Lukaku partnership is working a charm with both scoring. Lukaku got a first half hat trick. McDonald scored on the 88th minute to give the home fans that stayed the whole match something to cheer about. Goals from Lukaku (3) and Vagner Love.

Review

Birmingham fans are in dreamland, 2nd in the league, scoring freely, 5 won on the trot but it is still early and there is plenty of time to slide down the table. Love and Lukaku have netted 22 goals in the league 11 each as the most feared partnership in the premiership continue to run riot. Witsel has been on good form making some key passes. Romero must get a big mention as he is key to the success he has been on fire this month and since joined in the summer, his performances earned him Player of the Month which says alot. Lukaku finished second in both Player and Young Player of the Month. Casey finished 2nd in Manager of the Month as his side won 3 from 3.

Results

(Home) Liverpool 5-1: A crazy result an unlikely goal scorers. Conceded the strangest goal ive seen Romero was stuck on the edge of the box so basicly had no keeper thank god we were up 4-0 by then. Crazy game. Goals from Hutton, Lucas o.g., Johnson, Jenas and Adriano.

(Away) Man Utd 2-1: Another shock result. Kadlec came in for an injured Vagner Love. Took an early lead as Jenas played Lukaku clean through. Untied played 4 up top for the last ten and got their reward as Diouf scored to make it 11 but again lady luck was on the Blues side this season. Verkhovtsev heading home a corner in the 91st minute. Goals from Lukaku and Verkhovtsev.

(Home) Sunderland 4-1: Kadlec showed great potential this game setting up two goals and scoring himself. 4-0 at half time Casey brought on some youngster to give some experience to them. Richardson pulled a goal back but Sunderland fans had nothing to smile about. Goals from Lukaku (2), Larsson and Kadlec.

(Home) Tottenham 2-1: A close game were two Kadlec break aways from long balls were key. Pavlyuchenko scored and looked lively for Spurs but Birmingham just hung on. Goals from Kadlec (2).

(Away) Blackburn 3-2: Again a late goal keep the wining streak alive but this time it was controversial as the goal looked to be offside. Blackburn equalized twice and deserved a point and were unlucky. Goals from Witsel, Lukaku and Verkhovtsev.

(Home) Morecombe 5-0 (FA Cup 3rd Rnd): A youthful side was given a run out. Nordtveit scored his first goal for the club. Also Montgomery scored twice including his first for the club, set up a goal and was very impressive even recieving praise from Arsenal manager Wenger after the game. Goals from Lukaku, Johnson, Montgomery (2) and Nordtveit.

Review

I'm as shocked as you are 1st in the league better quality teams. it seems the squad are gelling and maturing well along with blending to the tactic perfectly. 50 goals in the league and only 10 from corners leaving 40 goals minus 1 pen and 2 IFK leaves 37 goals from open play which is fantastic. Even without Vagner Love who will miss 6 weeks the back up of Kadlec is excellent even Adriano is scoring when called open despite his rapid demise. Stuttgart signed Milevskyi on 1.1.2012 as the striker found himself low on the pecking order and felt it was time to leave. Verkhovtsev won Player of the Month, Lukaku won Young Player of the Month which Kadlec came second and lastly Casey won Manager of the Month as Birmingham continue their 10 game winning streak.

Results

(Home) West Ham 1-0: Kadlec impressed with his dribbling but his finishing was off. Kadlec scored seconds before he was replaced by youngster Montgomery. West Ham defended very well. Goal from Kadlec.

(Away) Hull 2-3: A shock loss as top took on bottom. Ghilas was key to Hulls victory as he controlled the game. A Bullard penalty turned out to be the winner. Goals from Lukaku and Verkhovtsev.

(Away) Wigan 3-0: Adam Johnson played his heart out in this game scoring twice for the blues. It was a pretty boring game completely one sided should of won by more. Goals from Johnson (2) and Kadlec.

(Home) Wolves 1-0: Players were rested due to the amount of games played this month. Vagner Love came back with a bang from injury scoring on his return to the 1st team. Ninis made his debut after joining on Loan till the end of the season. Goal from Vagner Love.

(Home) Aston Villa 2-0: Birmingham striked it lucky with this win against their rivals. The 1st goal was an own goal from Kuszcazk. The blues fans are sure to be delighted with the win. Goals from Kuszczak o.g. and Vagner Love.

(Home) Fulham 3-0 (FA Cup 3rd Rnd): A solid win against championship side Fulham. Ninis scored his 1st goal for the club as Birmingham march on to face Liverpool in the 5th round. Goals from Ninis, Verkhovtsev and Johnson.

(Away) Everton 1-5: A closer game then the scoreline suggests but a strong Everton side were too much for the blues as Everton go on to 12 games unbeaten. Goal from Verkhovtsev.

(Home) Man City 0-2: Second loss in a row for Birmingham as the dream of the title may be slipping from them. Goals from Lennon and Robinho showed the blues fans they squad still have a long way to go to become a major force.

Review

Still on top of the table but Arsenal could go top if they win they games in hand and Everton will go level if they win theirs but Birmingham are still delighted to be in contention even if they are in the top 4 come the end of the season that would be amazing. Ninis has been drafted in on loan from Man City to add more depth on the right wing, the deal cost £1.7m. Montgomery joined Southampton on loan for 3 months and has shown great poteinial in the Championship scoring 3 times in 5 games, pushing the Saints to safety. Lukaku goal drought has been worrying fans the wonderkid has scored 16 in the league already but is on a 9 hour goal drought.
