Perry didnt even stick around for the press confrence after this poor performance he took his players back to london for a all night training session.

Leicester 1 QPR 2
Scowcroft opened for the home side on 12mins but with Perry watching on like a hawk and the thought of another all night training session it seemed to spart the R's in a frenzy shot after shot saved by Nash in the leicester goal but Thu finally scored for the R's on 18mins to give em a well deserved way back into this one, 4mins after half time and Sutton made it 2-1 to the visitors.
The place went mad and Sutton was sure to be the talk of all the fans on there way home what a fantastic goal.

Millwall appoint Rookie manager
Mill today announced that young boss Dennis Wise was no longer to be in charge of their club. After seeing him take their club to nearly the bottom of the table they decided to install a new manager into the club in a hope of getting to safety.

The Sun Reports

Millwall's new Wise-Man
Millwall unveiled their new manager today at a press conference inside their ground. Reporters speculated as to who would take charge and a few big names cropped up. Names such as Gordan Strachan who could be tempted back into management, Harry Redknapp, Steve McClaren and a few other names. The main contender was was Terry Venables who had been out of a job for some time and would surely have loved to get this job. It was even more of a suprise as to who they unveiled as their new boss, Danny Sackfield. He had this to say:

Well what a shock this is for you all ey? I, myself are shocked at me being named manager and i hope i can re-pay the chairmans faith in me to get us out of a relegation fight and back up the table where we belong. I know that we are near the bottom and a few points off our nearest rivals but i know that i can get the team motivated again and get as far away from relegation as soon as i can with the short amount of time i have to do it in. it will be tough i just hope that my team will allow me to tinker with what they know already as i will have to add my style of management into what they already know.

With a game already scheduled for tonight against Portsmouth in the3rd round of the Carling Cup i will have to work quickly and round my troops up for a quick training session, which they will only have a limited amount of time to impress me before the match. I think thats all for now as i must get to my team. Thank you

--------------------------

Chairman announces expectation
The chairman called me into his office to tell me what he wanted doing. As we were near the bottom he only wanted me to keep out of relegation. Also he wasnt happy with the wage budget as it was £24.5k over their budget and he wanted it trimmed down as soon as possible. he gave me £500k to improve the squad but with being £200k in debt when i took over i didnt delve into the transfer market first.

A few of the big earners went on the transfer list and a few got some interest. One player which would move was Barry hayles. He was in the reserves and was getting paid a whhopping £6k a week. I tried to terminate his contract but he wouldnt settle for a deal. No clubs offered for him so i just had to hope he would leave sooner or later. Bids for Darren ward were accepted from Crewe and it was just a waiting game on him agreeing terms and me getting £600k for him. A few teams came in for Dean Richard and Muscat and are now negotiating terms with the bidders.

I managed to grab a player on a free to be a player/coach. ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed on a 3 year deal, unfortunately he was retiring at the end of season so i just had to hope i could get him to stay on. A few offers for players were being thought over by there clubs so i just had to wait.

The Matches

Portsmouth v Millwall Carling Cup 3rd Round 3-0 Lost

My first match didnt go to plan. I didnt have much time with my squad so i just picked whoever i though could do a job. Obviously they couldnt. I wasnt ecpecting anything as Portsmouth were top of the Championship and were favourites for the match. They went in front on 6 minutes as Reyna smashed the ball past my keeper who had no chance. We had a chance to level the match on 26 minutes as Huckerby got brought down in the area and the ref gave a penalty. up stepped Patrick berger who missed. This wasnt turning out too well. We came out in the second half looking for a quick goal. Unfortuantely it was Portsmouth that got it as Stefanovic headed the ball into the net on 47 minutes from a well worked corner. Kamara sealed the win on 86 as he rounded my keeper to make it 3-0. Hopefully we can pick ourselves up from this defeat.


Hull v Millwall 5-3 Win League

Well we started this match like the cup match as Hull went ahead on 6 minutes. They doubled their lead on 20 minutes which made it even harder for us now. Huckerby got us off the mark on 35 minutes from a powerful shot that the keeper had no chance of saving. Richards got us an equaliser on half time as he smashed a great free kick into the top corner from 25 yards out. hull went back into the lead on 50 minutes after some slack defending. Harris levelled the match again on 58 minutes as Huckerby played him through to slide the ball into the goal. With time running out for us i needed some magic to happen. Idiakez provided the magic on 85 minutes as he got in behind the Hull defence and put the ball into the net. surely the winner. Patrick Berger finished off Hull on 91 minutes with a well placed shot which brought me my first win andmuch needed 3 points. Great fightback.


Millwall v Leeds 1-1 Draw League

After that great win it was time to play our rival manager Rob. Both started off well but Leeds got the first real chances to score. They took one of their chances very well as Thompson netted on 33 minutes. We were being out played as Leeds had some great players. WE carried on though and we finally got the breakthrough we needed. A penalty. up stepped Huckerby who slotted the ball into the net. The ball went from one end to the other but neither team could grab a winner. A fair result i thought.


Sheffield United v Millwall 2-1 lost league

We got off to a great start today as Eirik Bakke found the net from a well placed shot on 6 minutes. just what we needed an early goal. Sheff utd didnt want to wait long as they grabbed an equaliser on 20 minutes. Our heads fell as Sheff utd battered our goal but somehow we managed to keep them out. 38 minutes gone and Sheff utd grabbed their 2nd goal which turned out to be the winner. i couldnt get my team to score as we ran out 2-1 losers and fell into the bottom 3 of the league.

Hartlepool – The rouchie years

Another bout of internationals meant that we were halfway through October before we played again! Mind you, after the last couple of games in September it was just as well! Paul Rouch took advantage of the break and took his squad off to the sunnier climes of Great Yarmouth for a week for a bit of R & R and team bonding. With the team sitting just outside the play off zone despite the last two results, Rouch is looking for a run to move them further up the table and into contention.

Versus Oxford (A) 14th October 2006

A bizarre own goal in the 1st minute gave Hartlepool the upper hand immediately. Strachan bossed the midfield as the away team dominated but failed to add to the early score, but keeping a clean sheet meant all three points came back on the coach with the ‘pool. :thup:

Final Score Hartlepool 1 Oxford 0
Goals : Hartlepool Marriott (OG 1)
ATT 6603
MOM : Gavin Strachan (Hartlepool)

Versus Bournemouth (A) 18th October 2006

A competitive game which saw Richie Humphreys stretchered off the field after only 7 minutes The Cherries took the lead in the second half when Connell slotted home. Strachan grabbed the equaliser 7 minutes later and the ‘pool lay siege to the Bournemouth end, making the keeper really earn his MOM accolade.

Final Score Bournemouth 1 Hartlepool 1
Goals : Bournemouth Connell (64)
Hartlepool Strachan (71)
ATT 8369
MOM : Neil Moss (Bournemouth)

Versus Barnsley (H) 21st October 2006

A very tight game which Hartlepool were fortunate to take the three points! Oon loan Robbie Foy got the goal in the first half, and only a disciplined performance from the keeper and the back 4 kept Barnsley at bay and secured the win! :cool:

Final Score Hartlepool 1 Barnsley 0
Goals : Hartlepool Foy (28)
ATT 7596
MOM : Darren Powell (Barnsley)

Versus MK Dons (A) 28th October 2006

After some decent performances and having moved up to 6th position, the last game of the month was away to the Franchise club, MK Dons. The Dons had the upper hand from the outset and just seemed that little bit quicker to everything and it was no surprise when McLeod grabbed the goal just on half time, which was enough to secure him the MOM award. Despite changing things around in the second half, Hartlepool were unable to bridge the gap and lost to the solitary goal of the game

Final Score MK Dons 1 Hartlepool 0
Goals : MK Dons McLeod (45)
ATT 7871
MOM : Izola McCleod (Hartlepool)

League Position 9th
