I’m still struggling with Bishops Stortford in the Conference South. It’s just after Christmas and we’re second from bottom.

It’s depressing, but sometimes we just do well enough to give me hope and keep me from resigning. I’ve loaned a defender worth a mammoth £4,000 from Dagenham & Redbridge and he seems like he’s going to fit in well. I’ve also asked to loan a young striker, just to see if that’ll help. I feel for my striker Essandoh, he’s a decent chap and he puts in good performances, but he just doesn’t score.

Though scoring goals isn’t so much of a problem. We’ve scored 23 this season, which is over one per game on average, I believe. It’s just we’ve let in forty.

You know, I’m really getting in to this now. I so want to pull off a miracle and avoid relegation and then take the club to glory next season.
