Celtic 1 - 2 Stoke City

A Great away performance that puts us on 3 wins out of 3.

Even sweeter after applying for the Celtic Job to beat them and keep them at the foot of the table. They are a great side and have a great manager coming in so it was a good time to catch them really.

Next WM fixture is them at home and avoiding defeat should put us pretty much mean we qualify.

I enjoy the Tuesday games a lot and winning cements that. Need to keep the good form rolling though and the transfers coming up I hope will make us stronger rather than put us back.

Good game Caretaker, will be good to play against the new manager Darren in the next fixture! See you then

Wolves 3
R_Oxford (20), A_Kalajdzic (44,76 pen)
Booked: Melendo (48)

Ajax 0
Booked: Baba_Rahman (80)

MotM: A_Kalajdzic (Wolves)
HT: 2 - 0

Great to get a second win in this competition and even more so when Barnsley and Dortmund fought out a draw. That results in us topping the group at the half way stage by a solitary point. Overall we dominated, looked very good for the win and were up on the stats throughout. Great performance from the lads to make TA and HA pay dividends. Striker Sasa Kalajdzic had a storming day up front and deserved his brace and the MotM award. Oscar Melendo picked up a booking but apart from that Happy Days.

Good game Alfredo.

Next game is back to the league campaign as we play hosts to PSV.

Derby 5 - 2 RB Leipzig

Nice to sign off with a win but it wasn't as straightforward as it should have been. RB Leipzig T sheeted but after only 9 minutes we lost our first choice keeper and played the rest of the game with a 13 rated keeper. At that point it probably summed up the luck we had been having in the season to then.

Hopefully the teams fortunes have changed and they will start to climb the table.

Borussia Dortmund 1 - 1 Barnsley

Barnsley appeared to come and settle for a draw and their plan worked, it was a good result for them especially as they were reduced to 10 men shortly after the half-hour, which meant they played for over an hour a man down. Barnsley did exceptionally well considering they went behind with just under fifteen minutes to go, but they stayed in the game and grabbed an equaliser just six minutes later, and that's how it finished.

This result means we drop to second in the group behind Wolves. "I'm not too worried just yet, there are three games remaining and a maximum of nine more points to play for, we just need to improve and close out games if and when we take a lead. Back to league action next and a trip to Marseille."

Correct. We make no apologies for our tactics as we felt it was crucial we picked up something from a very very brilliant side and manager. In truth, we were a little lucky but we will take that and have given ourselves a slim chance of progressing, as we sit in third. GG mate
