Well me and my puny Millwall had a succesful night on thursday and we seem to have a better depth in the squad than i had anticipated. these injuries are risking my campaign but so far we're holding on. got Chopra on loan until the end of the season, he should be good.

also bought Michael Dawson from Razor's Nottingham, still think it's a plot, and Lars Nilsson from Elfsborg who hasn't yet showned hes potential due to injuries. what else...
oooh yes, ivan bosnjak.... i'm really starting to like this guy, same would go for S.Cosgrove as he always get's my midfield going BUT he's only played 1 or 2 matches, got he's second 2 month injury for the season.
here's my fixtures so far in the season
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
H Sheff Utd First div 3-1
A Brighton First div 2-0
H Wimbledon First div 0-1 (the typical "u rule but lose"-match)
A Sheff Wed First div 0-2 (here we basically sucked)
H Norwich First div 2-0
A Walsall First div 0-0
H Blackburn(Quedron)First Div 1-0 (Bosnjak

)
A Sheff Utd League Cup 1st round 1-0
A Cardiff First div 1-1
A Stoke First div 0-0

Some good results, but the match against Wimbledon was and still is annoying. my defense has been really good this season and i hope it stays that way and with the attackers maybe starting to net some more who knows what could happen?

it still is early days but you can already see who are the big favourite to win the league, Charlton, as they have scored the most and has the best goal differance. Cardiff is a suprise, they play a defensive 3-5-2 wich has worked for them and they seem to have the best defense in the league but not much better than mine. Then there's us to finnish lads close together. Everybody seems to cheer for OJ and his tractor boys but that's alright, they really have some fantastic players, one being their goalie andreas isaksson who i REEEAALLLY would like to have in my team.
We really have a strong spirit in the team and we do also have some skill, and we seem to have the consistency and squad depth to maaaybe challenge for the straight promotion spots. as our grampie Rab would say, only time will tell.
ps: "elite".... not elite, just being sarcastic about my abilities if you haven't got it yet
