The Waiting Game
The 20 days before the game against Burton frustrated the lads. They wanted to be playing football, and training ferociously hard, due to lack of matches, was playing on their minds.
There'd been a bust-up between the injured Victor Moses and former Manchester United winger Tom Cleverley. That one was sorted out fairly quickly, and those two are now bunking with each other for the rest of this year.
But on the field, there isn't much to talk about either. The fact that there was only two matches in the whole month underlines that one. It came at the worst time. Just more time to think about that Spanish man. I was considering telling someone, but who? Triesman? No, definately not.
Two wins meant we were firmly on top of the N-Power League Two and that we were in a very strong position. Even with the injuries we were geting, the quality of squad was always going to cover us. But it was nice to beat the rivals, Burton Albion.
I knew this season would be easy. As soon as I closed the deal to bring Jack Rodwell to St. George's Park, I knew. We'd soon be up to where we belong.
Lee Wilcox. I'd exhanged emails with his father, and it turns out he's played for his home-town club Stevanage since he was 10 years old. I'd offered him a trial which was due to take place on the 14th of December. I was looking forward to meeting him.
