instead of updating for both October and December,i thought it was better to stop at the half of the season iow two games before the end of december.

OCTOBER

KETTERING 2-1 Macclesfield
A good performance but a very tough match.Kandol gave us the lead before they equalized just after 20mins.A late goal by Woolford gave us the win.

Kettering 0-3 STEVENAGE JPT S Quarter Final
All started well,but 3 goals within 5 mins before half time gave Stevenage the win.We pressed but could change naught.Awful match

KETTERING 2-0 Cheltenham
A nice performance.We controlled the match and created a number of chances.A first half goal by Candol and a late goal by Carlton sealed the win.We could have lost the match as we got a player sent off a quarter to full time,but luck was on our side

Kettering 0-1 MACCLESFIELD FA Cup 1st Round
Awful match.Only 6 shots overall.One of them gave Macclesfield the win...

Lincoln 1-1 Kettering
Not a good performance.They cotrolled most of the match,got ahead but a second half goal by Woolford gave us the point.

DECEMBER

Doncaster 0-1 KETTERING
Tough match.Doncaster were 1st in L2 before the match (and after it),so we were going as underdogs.But the match itself was even (and of poor quality) and a goal 10 mins before full time by Candol won it for us.

KETTERING 3-0 Wrexham
The match was more even than the score indicates.Both teams created many chances,but thanfully our GK was simply brilliant.Partridge,Kandol and Carlton scored for us.

Rushden 0-3 KETTERING
That was a match!!!Our arch rivals were simply better,but only at creating.They left their finishing at home.So, two goals by Kandol with an own goal between them gave us a "clear" win.

MK Dons 0-1 KETTERING
We got ahead with Partridge and they got a player sent off before half time.Despite that they pushed on for something better.Luckily nothing got past our,once again,brilliant GK.Even game overall.

KETTERING 1-0 Crewe
A deserved win.We were better throughout the entire game and with a 10th min direct FK from Partridge we got the 3 points.

So,we've finished the first half of the season.
The bookies hit their heads against the wall as we find ourselves at 1st place!!!If we continue like this the 3rd promotion in a row will be ours.And why not even the 3rd straight championship...But these are ifs...

The Standings:

Good games by our ST's,but even better ones by our two wide men,Woolford and Partridge.

Our players so far:

And here are the tactics i use:
Normal:

Defensive for tough matches:

The only problem so far is that we get too many yellow cards,so we face suspensions too often.We already have 2 players with 10 YCs in the League!So,in the next transfer window we need to add depth to the squad.And as we lack STs and MCs,that's what we're going to search for.We're talking loan of course as there are no transfer funds.

Let's see what's to happen...
