November Update

-- We play on the 3rd, 10th, 14th, 17th and 24th this month. Potential additional dates depending on when we get into the FA Cup.

-- Our young DLC Jack Hull is 3rd in the Young Player of hte Month voting in the Championship. He's got a 7.5 rating for Hull in 7 matches, he's been awesome.

-- The board is pleased with my leadership still. Stature increase, blah blah. But now the signing of Valeri Bojinov at ST who hasn't done anything at all is a downside. We lost $331k last month. Just $3.8M in TV Revenue and very few matches played for gate receipts.

November 3rd, 2018

Blackburn(3-3-4, 14th) @ Ipswich(1-0-7, 19th)

We're 7:2 to get a win at home here today, Blackburn are 4:6. We're 0-1-1 lifetime against them from our one previous EPL year.

GK: Murphy
D: Kirkland/Fryers/Brown/Adriano
DMC: Guarin
MC: Mariga/Donnelly
AMC: Kang
ST: Khan/Constantino

Robert Bakos and Nikola Kalinic both have 2 goals for Blackburn.

Fryers starts for Bruce, Constantino is back in today. We're just going to play defensive here.

1': We start with the ball, after passing around on our own end there's a long ball ahead for Constantino, he controls it well but the defense is quickly tracking back... he gets a shot off but its saved by the keeper.

5': They have a cross from about 35 yards out near the left sideline, there's a header from Kalinic and its just perfect... aimed into the right side of the net, Murphy dove out for it but can't get to it. Its called a fluke goal in the commentary... 0-1

27': We have it on the offensive end, with little buildup after the offense is set Donnelly with a great ball into the area, Khan is behind the defense and its a clear cut chance... but he doesn't place it well enough and the keeper is able to get down quickly and push the ball away...

36': Yellow for midfielder Potts for Blackburn.

39': We earn another corner as a goal kick is sent all the way forward and Kang gets to it first, he's got a pretty good look though a defender cuts in front of him quickly and blocks the shot. Corner comes to nothing.

HALF: We're getting the ball forward here with a bit of regularity but we just cannot put the ball in the damn net! We actually end up with 9 shots, but only 2 on target. Blackburn shoots 7 times, 3 on target. Stats are pretty much even. Really their goal was a too perfect to be true header and we had a couple really solid shots... we can score here. Bruce comes in for Fryers who picked up a bit of an injury in the first half.

48': Their striker Kalinic with a yellow for a tackle near midfield.

54': Constantino earns us a corner with a long run down the right on a counter... corner is taken to the near man, passed out and we set up the offense, Khan sneaks through again, Kang put a perfect through ball, Khan with a shot from the penalty spot, clear cut chance #2... right at the keeper. Frustration!!!

69': Another offensive possession, Kang again puts a ball into the area, Constantino is behind his man... and its the worst first touch i've seen from Constantino in a long time, the ball shoots forward all the way to the keeper, just no control or confidence at all.

83': We build up on offense again, pass it from right to left, almost lose control a couple times but retain possession, Donnelly has it 30 yards out to the left, he spots an opening and passes ahead to Khan, Khan is in the area for his THIRD clear cut chance, he puts this one to the far post, beats the keeper... but the ball just goes wide, it may have even grazed the crossbar on the way out. Just shrugging and shaking my head at this point.

No more chances here.

Ipswich 0 : 1 Blackburn

This was a win. We played better, we WERE better today. Khan doesn't have any morale issues, he's a pretty experienced striker here, not the struggling youngster... and he gets shot after shot point blank on the keeper and fails to finish over and over. Just nothing but disappointment here.

Kirkland 7.3, Mariga 7.0. No one was really bad today, it was an ok performance minus the goals. We shot 14 times, we really generated chances today.

-- After the match the fans express frustration at my unwillingness to experiment with the team's formation.
