Tranfers. Tottenham came back the following day saying that Jermaine Defoe would be available for around £4million. So Derek put an offer in and Jermaine was meant too travel up for contract talks.
Mk Don's My first game in charge. Away too Mk Don's. Predicted an easy win. I picked my team 4-4-2.
Weaver Young Fortune Bourregha Thatcher Varney Holland Reid Ambrose Todorov D.Bent Obviously Young was suprised at being picked but what other options did i have?
Thoughts. As i looked at my team, i realised i needed a new Right-back, Right Winger, Centre Mid And Left Mid. Defoe was a must as we lacked a proven goalscorer.
Kick Off. I told my team too go out and enjoy the run around. I gave them the freedom too go out and be creative and too keep the ball and pass it around.
After 15minutes we we're dominating and Andy Reid had a long distance shot that just flew wide. 30' in and Darren Bent ran from half way too lay in Todorov
1-0.
Mk Don's reacted well though and earned a few corners in succesion. We could handle them.
Half Time soon came and at 1-0 we we're looking comfortable. I told them too keep playing their football and challenge for every ball and keep things tight for the first 15 of the second half.
67' minutes in and Andy Reid whips in a beautiful front post corner which is won by Fortune and rifles into the back of the net
We Won the game 2-0 and a good perfomance all around.
I couldn't wait for training the next day. We travelled home with everyone upbeat.
