Guy's 1st spell of 7-3-22-3 see's us take really control and have just Wright to get out tbh. 10 and 9 off an over spoiled his figures but im hoping he can get a couple more to take 10 in the match. Might be an XP pop?!

Done and dusted! Day off tomorrow and then onto Friday's game against MCC. I actually lost to them in the first game of the season but they only have a squad of 15, a few good players with awful PFL as the manager barely ever logs in. I got punished for playing him early on whilst his team was looking useful! Will play a fairly strong team Friday but will def TIE!
