Enters November.The 1st thing I did was to sign another free transfer to boost the attacking force.
Henri Camara agreed to join but due to unknown reason, despite the fact that he is out of contract, he can only join the club on 1.1.2010
The November was a mixed month for the team.However there is one player deserved to be praised for his outstanding form he was in.
The man to watch - Ákos BuzsákyBuzsaky continued his form from October and made an incredible 4 goals in 4 matches , added up another 2 assists in these four games.
By the end of November, the team is sitting at the top of table, having played a game more than the rest of the title contenders.Pretty surprising as I had never expected that much.
Deducting the 3 points would mean, the team were most likely sitting at #2 in the league table.
December was a busy month with the team playing 6 matches in just 4 weeks.Due to the thin depth of squad and fatigue problem, the team had one of the worst month under my management.
December ended with 3 draws, 1 defeat and only 2 victories.The team slipped to 4th on the league table.
January- End Of Season
The bad form carried on into January as the team lose the 1st game of the month against Plymouth.
To add salt to injury, Peter Ramage was injured and...
the most reliable center back of the team, Otamendi scored an own goal to give away 3 points to Plymouth. "Thank You very much" said Plymouth.
I decided to take things more seriously by fining those who perform below par lately and it worked wonders.We managed to take 9 out of 9 points from the remaining matches in January and another surprise came in.
Believe it or not, I won yet another Manager of the Month award.I would never expect this after losing one of the matches in the month.This is the 1st time I saw a manager winning the monthly award despite losing a match.Unbelievable because that would mean other big clubs in the same league were suffering bad forms and had lose at least 1-2 matches in the month.The following months were outstanding as the team only lose 1 match and draw 1 match from 12 matches.
For the impressive results they get,
I get another 2 Manager of the Month awards.
That makes me taking the award, 3 months in a row.My 1st time of getting an award 3 times in a row after all these years of playing Football manager.
Salvio claimed his 1st Player of the Month award, beating his own teammate Akos Buzsaky who was 2nd for the award.At the end of the season, before the 46th game, the team already won the league.
Take a deep look at the table and you will notice that we are quite lucky to win the Championship.We drawn as much as 12 matches and lost 5 in 44 matches. We won it because other big teams keep slipping up with almost all of them losing at least 10 matches.Some of them even get 10 drawn game.
Lucky us they keep slipping up.But we won and only that matters.
Amazingly,the board were delighted at "unexpected" promotion but wasn't that the season expectation since August?
They must be taking my words lightly.How dare you!

That is impressive. Your run off form after the lose of the first game in January was stunning.
You're also right that the other contenders for the title did everything to trip themselves up. I also found in my game that most of the other teams were tripping up a lot, with the exception of Newcastle, whose 105 points, I just couldn't match.
Hi there Ziggy, nice to see ya again.Yes, I'm pretty surprised the fine form after the 1st game that we lost.
I found out that bigger clubs like Newcastle and West Brom tend to slip up which mean it's not impossible to clinch the title.
By the way, any good signings for Premier League survival to recommend to me? :D
