The season is in full swing after my first 4 games of the Season. As before, I'm not really sure what my expectations are of the season. I'd love to get promoted, but with next to no transfer funds and having to sell my best striker in Che Adams, it would be difficult to achieve that. However, we plod on and see what the season brings.
It had been a solid preseason. I had made some key signings in a couple of areas that I felt needed strengthening, David Stockdale was back as the main Goalkeeper between the sticks and I was ready to take on a Norwich side that was steamrolling the Championship in real life.
I began my Football Manager 2019 save aiming to emulate Garry Monk's success, and try and see what, if any, improvements I could implement into this Blues side. It's safe to say that Pre-Season hasn't been the easiest of times off the field!
We all know how much of a brilliant job that Garry Monk and his backroom staff have done since they've come in at St Andrews. However, can it be bettered? That's what I will be trying to find out.
Blues have this evening been handed an embargo lifeline by the EFL after confirming that Kristian Pederson has now been officially registered and can play in the opening Championship game against Norwich.
