    Decided to manage this one live....almost pulled my hair out until the 89th minute - I was jumping out of my chair!

    Knowing what I know now, not a bad month - after losing to Lushnja, we lost the top spot for a week until we dismantled Flamurtari and Lushnja only managed a draw.  We then consolidated that with our win over Luftetari, while Lushnja also won.  Two months, eight matches - that is what will decide this league.  At this stage, I'm extremely confident that we will be playing in a continental competition next season!

    Hi mate!Great job:thup:Where is Skederbeu?They still have european ban?

    Hey - thank you!  Skenderbeu are currently in the First Division(Currently 2nd), so in line for a promotion play-off if they can hold on.  Yes, they are banned until 2028 from European competition but they've been in the First Division for three season now.

    Another undefeated month and we've hit the top of the table, still 12 matches to play but this is simply an extraordinary season and I'm enjoying every second of it!  I would've loved the full three points against either Teuta or Vllaznia but such is life.

    While I still had the light skin on, this intriguing nugget came across my desk.  I did privately sneak my CV in just to see what resources would be available for that position... we will see what happens.

    Amazing season so far and the kazakh kid looks great, I wonder if you'll still be at this team when he signs though :D

    Thank you!  I did see that Partizani fired their manager and I applied simply to see what their wages/transfer budget/finances look like.  My board are so financially-troubled that I haven't even been able to get my NATIONAL C license yet......

    We have been so good all season and we are now level at the top of the table with Lushnja!  We've been playing some impressive football as well, asserting our attack on opposing sides.

    Loanee Dervishi is running away with the golden boot in the Superleague.

    And the best average rating in the league by a healthy margin.

    We have the league leader in assists.

    And the hard-man of my side, Dhamo, pacing the league in yellow cards.

    Another decent month sees us stay second in the table, chasing Lushnja, who just lost their first match of the season.  I've been very impressed with my squad's performance this year, especially given the injuries that we've faced.  

    We're roughly halfway through the year(36 matches), so here's how the squad currently looks:

    So, obviously our wingers aren't looking good - no matter how much rotation, they just seem to be uninvolved(perhaps because they're trying to occupy space that is already occupied by the forwards).  We're due to get Samec back shortly, so hopefully that will help our attacking impetus via the attacking fullback position.   As you can see, strikers Dervishi and Sakaj(both loanees) are having great seasons as are Dhamo and Ptacek, our signing of the season.  Also, Dhamo and Ptacek AND Sakaj and Dervishi have developed good partnerships.  I haven't rotated nearly as much this season and the continuity seems to be paying off.

    I believe that this may be my first perfect month.....  Either way, three wins from three is wonderful(even if it was against 3 of the bottom 4).  We've shot right up the table and are securing ourselves as a club to be reckoned with this year.  

    Had to add this as a preview to the December write-up(Rank's first ever win over Partizani!  Instant Result only used one sub - whatever - I don't care!

    I also must heap praise upon my Defensive midfielder, Aleksandros Dhamo.  The man is creating the lore of a club legend as he continues to be one of my most consistent players throughout this save.  I have tried to bench him a number of times but he is just stellar for us.

    image.thumb.png.8d191719ad9be934aeea29ed5a6b4a51.png

    I know, right?  He doesn't look like much but the man just produces when you need him to.

    An amazing start to our second season in the Superleague - I've switched my tactic to go attacking and cede possession to try to get us more chances and it's worked to decent effect thus far.  In our lone loss to Partizani, our DM was red-carded in the sixth minute and somehow we managed to score a couple of goals(while still conceding 5).  Another particular highlight was a very even match against reigning champions Villaznia.

    image.thumb.png.780aa3f914a71100af73a5ad0e0df2a2.png

    We've also lost our first-choice left back for 3-5 months to injury.
