Football Manager 2010 Story – Notts County October 2009

Tweet

Here we go my friends, the Notts County Football Manager 2010 story continues! After the very good first two months in League Two, with 10 straight wins, we had to keep up the pace and confirm our status of promotion contenders. We were top of the table at the end of September but Bury were right behind us, we couldn’t afford any mistakes.

The first challenge in October was away at 19th placed Cheltenham and my players produced a solid display, they didn’t give the opponents any chances to get something out of the game. Both strikers, Zoko and Sburlea, got their names on the scoresheet, I was quite satisfied. The only bad thing was that the young Romanian picked up a knock and he was going to be out for two weeks.

We had a cup game next, at home with Crewe in the 2nd round of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. Sam Hewson made it easy for us with a superb early goal, he scored with a fantastic left footed shot from 25 yards out. Ben Davies made it 2-0 only seven minutes later with a cannonball shot from 35 yards out, everything was under control…

The next game was a difficult one, away at 5th placed Rotherham, a team that was in very good shape, unbeaten in the last 10 league games! They were very confident and dominated the first half but we managed to punish them on a quick counter attack. We played a bit better in the second half, kept things under control but we made a mistake in defense right in the last minute of the game and Rotherham made it all square. It was our first draw of the season…

We had the chance to get back to our winning ways in the next game, at home with 15th placed Torquay. Striker Sabrin Sburlea played two perfect assists for Zoko in the first half to make it 2-0, then we controlled the game and didn’t allow our opponents to create too much danger.
