Jozo Simunovic had asked to go out on loan until the end of the season to get some more first team football. I feel Cardiff is a good level for him and can hopefully help get him a permanent move in the summer for a decent fee.

There was a lot of interest coming in for wonderkid Karaomoko Dembele. I had to tie him down on a decent contact to put them off thankfully it worked and should see him settled for the next couple seasons at least. I also arranged a pre-contract for Jackson Irvine, a handy player to return to the club. He counts towards out homegrown quota and has had a decent career down south since leaving. We have the option to bring him in now for £1.2m but I don't think I'll take it up.

Starting XI: Bain, Elhamed, Ajer, Jullien, Taylor, Brown (c), McGregor, Forrest (Dembele 70'), Christie (Rogic 70'), Johnston (Elyounoussi 70'), Griffiths
Unused Subs: Forster, Frimpong, Bitton, Ntcham

A good win to progress in the cup after a couple weeks off. It gave me the chance to get some players back up to match fitness and give some rested players a run out. Up next is a home tie with Elgin.

Unused Subs: Bain, Ajer, Frimpong, Soro, Johnston

This was a good win on the road. Again I rotated the squad a bit through suspension and to get guys up to full fitness. The result means back-to-back fixtures with 3 different scorers.

It was looking to a bore draw until impact sub Karamoko Dembele set up Odsonne Edouard to seal the 3 points in the final minute of the 90. I'm hoping this is a partnership that can come up with a few more goals in the coming months.

An exciting 45 minutes followed by a not so exciting 45. This has always been something that has annoyed me about playing FM.

The fans don't seem to be so pleased with the double Stoke swoop. I was quite pleased to get them in. Liam Lindsay looks a good value replacement for Jozo Simunovic, he looks a better player but lacks Jozo's physicality. Nick Powell is a player who I've always liked and is regularly linked with the club. He can also cover as a striker meaning I don't need to bring one in.

1st February 2020 - Scottish Premiership

Starting XI: Forster, Elhamed, Ajer (Bitton  60'), Lindsay, Bolingoli, Brown (c), McGregor, Elyounoussi (Dembele 60'), Christie* (Rogic 60'), Johnston, Bayo
Unused Subs: Bain, Taylor, Ntcham, Edouard

Facing St Mirren who are toiling at the foot of the table gave me the chance to rotate the squad heavily. Liam Lindsay came in and had a solid debut. Mo Elyounoussi and Vakoun Bayo both managed to get on the scoresheet. Ryan Christie is finally back up and running, netting a brace to re-find his pre-leg break form.

Starting XI: Forster, Elhamed, Ajer, Lindsay, Bolingoli, Brown (c)McGregor (Ntcham 61'), Elyounoussi (Dembele 31'), Powell* (Rogic 60'), Christie, Bayo (Edouard 61')
Unused Subs: Bain, Taylor, Ntcham, Edouard

A few days later I kept largely the same starting XI with them having impressed. Ryan Christie got another double cementing his spot behind the striker. Boli Bolingoli is also close to nailing down the left back spot. Nick Powell made his debut but failed to overly impress, Liam Lindsay however had another good performance.

Starting XI: Bain, Frimpong, Lindsay, Jullian, Bolingoli, McInroyNtcham (c), Dembele*, Rogic (Powel 50'), Johnston, Bayo (Edouard 50')
Unused Subs: Forster, Bitton, Bolingoli, McGregor, Christie

I rotated the squad heavy here and handed a first team debut to reserve captain Kerr McInroy, in which he impressed. I think he could do with the first team football so I will be trying to loan him out until the end of the season. The start of the show however, was Karmoko Dembele. Despite being 5'4" he scored a perfect hat-trick.
