OK we've played 21 of 33 games, we're in 4th with the table like this:
So not really all that close then.
And the idiots that re going to help us fall into 5th place are:
Main Tenants - GK, 19, BUL. Recently promoted to bench keeper from the reserves as he's just too good to stay there.
Syndicated Chocolate - GK, 31, SCG. Great in the First division but just doesn't look like someone who belongs here. Now in the reserves, but called up to an injury to Main Tenants
Vexed Gardener - GK, 26, SCG. Newly acquired giant of a keeper. Three clean sheets in three games for the club is a good start.
Twisty Straw - SW/DC, 25, SCG. Physically superb, apart from his 5'9" stance. 4th choice DC but would do a job a level below.
Hockle - DRLC, 25, ALB. Signed last summer in a panic, but he's a very good player, just needs to get an injury to one of the others to get into the team.
German Giggler - DLC, 21, BUL. Brought in during the Jan window to cover in case contract rebel Press Button went elsewhere. He didn't so we have a nice player for the future.
Press Button - DC, 31, SCG. Can be outstanding, can be a liability, but has the experience we need, recently signed a 2 year contract.
Selective Sight - DC, 25, SCG. Cornerstone of the defence, mops up mistakes, been tremendous this season so far.
Inactive Schedule - D/WBR, 27, SCG. Outstanding on the right, but isn't valued very highly. A replacement is being looked for, but is fine for now.
Bus By Post - D/WBL, 30, SCG. Technically great, but not so much on the physical side. Hasn't had a look in this season until the recent injury to the starter. Was very good in the div below.
Crystal Account - D/WBL, 27, SCG. Has had a frustrating career with us. He was obviously an improvement in his position, but an injury in the second season, meant he lost his place to Bus. Hes back this season though and doing very well.
Different Gravy - DC/DM, 28, SCG. DM by default because of his height, keeps the ball moving nicely. Strong in the tackle, but possibly a little out of his depth in the SuperLeague.
Silver Peas - DM, 21, BUL. Has the start of everything yo uneed to be a great DM, he just needs to improve on his skills. Will start the easier home games.
Happy In Slough - MRC, 28, SCG. Outstanding since his arrival and has been subject to a lot of bids since we arrived in the top flight. I have resisted all so far and he's still happy. How long until one of the big two come in for him? He's certainly good enough
Bum Rush The Show - AMRC, 21, SEN. I have no idea why he hasn't played more. Has the skillz to make the wing his own, but needs a chance.
Furry Fingers - AMRC, 24, ROM. Has whinged recently so is getting a run in the team. He;s responded with three assists in three games and will improve.
Save The Ducks! - AMR, 22, UKR - Signed for pennies and is improving all the time. I'm probably not playing him correctly though as his performances don't seem to match his ability. For the future.
Cornelius - AMLC, 21, BUL. Bought for 7k at the start of our promotion season, now worth €2m. Hasn't even been capped by the BUL U21s yet, but I'm sure he'll get a go in the national team. He's awesome.
Deny The Facts - AMLC, 24, SCG. A more than capable backup and hasn't let me down when called upon.
Recruitment Policy - AMC, 29, SCG. Excellent in the first division, but is second best to Slough. Can be relied upon for scoring goals though.
Catalogue Tester - AM/FC, 23, POL. Superb since we bought him, second name on the teamsheet.
Mister 45 - ST, 19, CMR. Bought as a slight gamble a couple of seasons ago, but is still improving. He is a natural scorer though, so is always dangerous off the bench.
Stories For Phil - ST, 25, SCG. Hasn't stopped scoring the goals since he's been in the team and as a left footer, I have a nice balance with him and the others. His value doesn't reflect his attributes though, he only has five above 15. Finishing 20, First Touch 17, Anticipation 17, Off The Ball 17 and Natural Fitness 18. :checkit:
Technically Eight - ST, 25, SCG. One of my first money signings and scores once every three games, which is OK. He is a great back up to have.
Partizan 13 5 3 43 18 +25 44
Red Star 12 5 4 50 32 +18 41
Smederevo 11 3 7 37 30 +7 36
CSK Pivara 10 4 7 42 30 +12 34
Sutjeska 9 5 7 19 22 -3 32
