Theres only one Aaron Lennon!

October 2007 Review

October came and the season was moving along fast with the table shaping up well now. With decisions to make such as who to pick as our number 1 goalkeeper, we finally came to the decision that Sebastian Viera would take the reigns in goal and that rotation between 3 goalkeepers would be a bad idea. Consistency is a big part of success and this could prove essential over the next few months.

*NEWS*
- Sebastian Viera named as "official" number one goalkeeper.
- Andreas Isaksson has picked up yet another injury and is out for 3-4 weeks.
- Aaron Lennon has returned to full fitness and has started his 1st game for the club this month.
- City have progressed to the 5th round of the Carling Cup and await news on who they will face next.
- Rumours have already began, speculating City's January transfers. The latest rumours to come out are that Emile Mpenza, Michael Ball and Andreas Isaksson will all leave the club to make way for Joe Mattock and Jimmy Briand.

Manager's comments: We managed to turn October into a terrible month to a decent one in one game! We're hoping the win in the Cup will be a big boost to our confidence and to beat a team like Spurs for the second time this season is brilliant. We haven't won in the league in a while and we are falling away from the top 4 now. We play Birmingham next before the "big four" all in a row! November will be tough but if we can come away from any of the next five games with 3 points i will be delighted!
