Unexpectedly we are currently sitting top of the Premier League. Not what we expected at this stage of the season at all. We were probably lucky in being drawn away at Lewes in the first round of the cup so we concentrated our early efforts on the AP Cup instead and accepted being relegated to the Bowl. Winning both our opening AP games then gave us the opportunity to concentrate on the league in session 2 and that clearly paid off as our rivals maybe had AP concerns in that session. All good so far, although not sure if we can stay at the top all season as there are clearly better teams than us in this division. W also have concerns that two of our apps are now out for the season Drummonds injuries will now curtail hs involvement for the season whilst Seydou Thiams carreer had already been curtailed as a sby. This will clearly harm our chances in the youth cup this year. A compettition we never do well in, but another early exit is not going to help our league chances in the long run either, so let´s expect us to lose some games late on in the season. Still only having to play two apps each session could help us short term so let´s see how that pans out. I am always tempted by Cup runs though. It is like seeing all that candy in the shop window when you are a kid.

The early aquisitions to the FW line of Gyasi and Clarke in pre season auction 1 also has heled the squad get off to a good start. Two good solid forwrd for nearly the same price paid by Tranmere for superstar Wright. I think we got the better deal as we now have a five star attack who can play every game if we wish. We have to play both Bristol and Brighton in the league this session which will be tough. Hopefully Bristol will have squad issues being stretched with a 4 game session and Brighton have stuttered a bit so far, but as a Port Vale managed also stated there are no easy games in the leagues top flight. We agree.
