Hello and welcome back! We’re about to continue with our journey in Division One having climbed out from the depths of Division Three along with two multi-million-pound injections of cash from the board to write down the debts being wracked up by the B Team. Some of the players (Drummond) have been lacklustre at this level where as others (Bing) have continued to be sensational. Thanks to Coventry, we’re aware that should we achieve our dream the step-up will be huge. You can catch up with the start of season three here.

We left off last time having made a solid start to life in the second tier:

It’s a lot tighter at the top than we have been used to. We return to Coventry and boy do we go away with a face like a smacked arse. Our ‘keepers will not cut it at a higher level.

We Bury’d them alive! Inzaghi finally tucks a penalty away and Bakman gets his 5^th in 9 games.

This part of my life is called getting champ-man’d. He’s put his Bak out.

In a timeless tale of 1^st vs. 2^nd Cambridge come out on-top thanks to a penalty given away by Bonnie’s BFF. Daylight robbery.

This part of my life is still called getting champ-man’d.

Next up it’s a top 10 clash. Norwich have all of the game, we are lucky, but it’s three cheers for Ramirez!!!

Whilst I’d love a solid ‘keeper, I think Luke Weaver is too much like our current stock, with only 11 for aerial ability. Hopefully the Veigabus is coming.

Uncle Festus spoils a close game for us. I say close, we barely deserved a point.

THREE CHEERS OF REDEMPTION FOR RAMIREZ!!!

This part of my life is still called getting champ-man’d. Top scorer out for months.

Due to availability after release by Ajax, we sign up minus man Rowdy Roddy Turpijn. Why not add to our Dutch U21 collective. He looks great, so inevitably he’ll be bang average.

Minus man Nicky Weaver does us over by getting away with two stonewall penalty shouts. Dreary.

Millwall are 1^st and they’ve been good value so far banging the goals in, but we’re back (Bak?!?) at it. Yes! That is more like it.

Another minus man lead side can’t touch us (Tony Thorpe) I’m happy again.

Aaaaaaand we’re now without both of our in-form centre backs.

I let the anger subside with a proud moment (he’s too orangey for crows).

Rowdy Roddy Turpijn tries to pull us back at Bolton, but Brannigan isn’t only known for exceptional crisps, but also man of the match ‘keeping master classes. At least Parry is the main man in Wales already.

Manninger cannot buy a cap. Roll also continues to be an unused sub for Denmark. Charlton are not athletic enough for us. Not even this man can stop us:

After watching him on U21 duty, Sikora finds a slot up top to be a more accommodating position.

And then he gets Champ-Man’d. It is ALWAYS the form players.

Huddersfield are closing the gap on the title chasing pack, so this win is much needed. But we’re now down to 1 recognised centre back for 8^th December.

We close November with the worlds most boring result ever (a 0-0 at Portman Road). I’m really not sure how we’ve become so defensively tight with injuries and suspensions galore. Here’s the league table:

The signing of Turpijn and return of Juan and Parry seems to have galvanised us. That said, the division is extremely competitive. We’ve got three players on 10 goals (Inzaghi, Bak-Jensen and Ramirez) but Rose, Balling et al are nowhere near getting to that magical 10 goal marker. Sikora might do it now we’ve found he works better up top, we will see. Getting 5+ players there again will be tricky. Do join us again next week as we look leave ourselves in with a chance for the run-in!
