January 2011
The first game into November home to Farnborough. We lose 3-1. 5 games in a row lost, and the pressure was building up. We were down to 11th in the table, and I was starting to get angry. The one thing they didn't teach us on Britain's Next Manager is how to handle the press. And it showed. They were awarded a controversial goal in the 51st minute when we went 3-0 down. They interviewed me after the match. This is what they said:
'The Daryl McMahon goal may have been offside, what is your say on this?'
'Terrible decision. The linesman has honestly never heard of specksavers, and the ref doesn't have a brain big enough to know what an offside is when he see's one? Terrible, these officials shouldn't even be allowed to ref Bromley Under 16's matches!'
'Thank you for your time.'
The pressure was building up on me, and the fans were starting to lose faith. To top it all off I was given a 3 match ban by the FA, so I would have to sit in the crowd. The club were angry at me, managers were staring to hate me, and ref's didn't want to ref our games. To sum it all up, the assistant won all three games including a 6-3 win away to Dorchester. I was in trouble now, and my assistant was doing fantastically. I still think it was down to my fantastic training regime.
March 2011
We were straight back on track with 3 consecutive 2-0 wins. No more doubts, and the fans were filling the few seats we actually had. We got a 1-1 draw, but then to make the month extra special we won 2-0 to Farnborough to put us in 2nd spot with a game in hand to Havent & Waterloo, who are two points ahead of us.
