Season Five, September: A good start

A great start, in fact, to life in the Championship for my Oxford team, and it really is my Oxford team now. All but one of the first team are players that I've bought at some point, with only Leo Roget remaining, as well as a couple of reserves.
I had a tough start, with two home games against Sheffield United and title favourites Wolves being followed by a trip to Watford, so I wasn't expecting much. As such, I adopted a defensive approach. This saw me draw the first two games, coming from 1-0 down against Sheff.Utd and 2-0 down against Wolves. Then came this:


A great surprise win that the board were delighted with. After a few more games (and a similar performance to the above to beat Wigan 4-1), the table looks promising.



The only problem is that I draw too many games, and often concede first. Maybe I'm being too cautious?

Great update again mate well done. I'm surprised you sold Cardenas to be honest because his stats look bloody amazing but your the gaffer. Good luck for the rest of the season i know the English Championship is one of the toughest leagues in the world:)
