MOTM: Marek Hamsik (Man Utd)
Defence performed a lot better today because even though we conceded 3 goals we really should have conceded 5 or 6 with the amount of shots on goal they had which was 19! We only managed 4 shots in the entire game with just 1 on target. Not a good performance.

We did not perform well at all in the first half as Blackpool dominated us, but after an *** whooping in the changing rooms at half time, the players came out fired up and dominated and won us the game even after being behind! Hope we perform like we did in the 2nd half from now on.

MOTM: Danny Welbeck (Man Utd)
Really wish my defence performed better and didn't allow Welbeck to perform as well as I was close to signing him but this game resulted in him being taking off the transfer list and rejecting our contract. But still we did perform okay, just need the defence to start playing better.

Completely dominant display where we easily won this game and probably could have scored a couple more goals. Although to lapses in defence did allow them to score to easy goals. Don't know whats going on with my defence this month.

MOTM: Djibril Cisse (QPR)
Looking at that stats we really did not deserve to win this game as QPR dominated us from start to finish. But, the squad showed their determination that in any situation that they will try their best and in this case it showed as we managed to overcome them and win it.

In terms of in the league, this was a great month as we managed to push ourselves up from 10th to 6th and we are now performing a lot better than we did at the start of the season, and this has also improved my position at the club.
Best Player of January

Best player of the month has to be
Ezequiel Munoz, who is easily and quickly becoming our star defender and I believe he will easily be able to take the place of Olsson as our main main in defence.

Very pleased with these transfers as they are going to help to greatly strengthen our midfield, and also due to Bendtner being out for around 2 months with an injury, I see
Guidetti as a great replacement, and also someone with potential and could grow to become a good striker here.
I am sad about the departures of Morrison and Olsson as they have been 2 of our best players this season. But
Djuricic is going to be a great replacement for Morrison and is much younger with
Livermore helping to provide back up in CM.
Also I have a lot of competition in CB with the likes of Dawson, Sviatchenko and Milosevic, so I believe he is someone I am able to sell, also £9 million for a 30 year old who's stats will soon start to decrease? I just couldn't say no.

With it being January, it meant that some players would only have 6 months left on their contracts so I decided to have a look for who I could get and i'm very pleased with who I managed to get!
Takagi is going to be a great replacement for Brunt, who is closing in on his 30's and also seems to get injured quite a bit.
Aboubakar is a great signing as I only have one permanent experienced striker and I believe next season he will be able to form a great partnership with Long, with Guidetti becoming a back up and Zaha becoming my main Right winger.
Molina and
Ramirez look brilliant saying that they 16 & 18, so I believe that they will be great players in the future.
