Jamuary Update:
Barclays Premier League:
Tranmere 0-0 Wolves
We really dominated this match. We had 53% of the possession and 23 attempts at goal , but only hitting the target 3 times, which is really worrying. We are plagued with injuries and lack of funds isn’t going to help in the transfer window. With a total of 5 first team players injured including , Elmohomady , Albrighton , Pedro Gonzalez , McCarthy and Reilly i can see us running into a bit of trouble. International break has also hurt our squad depth. Although our wage book is pretty reasonable i amn’t getting much backing from the board funds wise. A point is quite valuable to us at this point in the relegation battle but we need a win soon.
Tranmere 5-2 Reading
Another fantastic performance with 58% of the possession and 21 attempts on goal but at leas this time we managed to take a few of them. I had no choice but to rest some players so I played a few of the reserves and that worked pretty well in my favour instead of risking my first team players. We’ll have McCarthy back for the next match so hopefully we can capitalize with his presence.
Stoke City 2-1 Tranmere
Story of our season , so unlucky. We dominated for most part of the game but failed to create any real chance to strike at Stoke. We couldn’t take advantage of an extra man either, after Steve Nzonzi was sent off for Stoke. McCarthy did managed to score , but sadly he can’t win matches on his own, severely missing Gonzalez’s presence in midfield.
Tramere 0-2 West Ham
Really annoyed at this defeat , 2-0 down after 15minutes because of two stupid penalties. Defence was all over the place and made two mistakes inside the box and West Ham players went down like a tone of bricks. We played really well though , but again we couldn’t take advantage of our chances. We’re passing the ball fairly well and creating chances but not really finding the ability to finish them at the minute.

It’s starting to become squeaky *** time. Really feeling the pressure now, to string some wins together to get us out of the bottom three. Huddersfield are starting to pick up form and if they keep going at this rate they’ll leap frog us and I really don’t want to end up sitting bottom of the table.
Player of the Month:
Sercan Cavus
View attachment 222010
This young lad has been the only player who has been performing to Premier League standards so far. Over the last month he’s performed the best of the this bunch of players I have and without him I have no doubt that our goals conceded stat would be a lot higher. Well done to this young fella.
Transfer Center:
View attachment 222009
I only managed to sign one player because of high demands for any player I was looking at. This young lad from Finland cost me a small figure of 400k up front and the rest spread out over 48months. I did have a bid accepted and contracts accepted for Two young Africans who had 4 and half star ratings but because they couldn’t get a work permit the deals were called off. Quiet Transfer window.
