drew 1:1 against Sunderland, despite, once again, being the side with way more shots on target. I also fecked up by subbing Gaya off so he could play in the Cup game against Wolves... only for him to pick up a fifth yellow in the first half against Sunderland so he'll miss the game against Wolves anyway.

You know it is bad news when you see this screen. Stones got sent off 5 mins in, despite that I drew 1:1 in normal time, losing 3:1 on penalties. Annoying thing is the injury to Brandt as I subbed him off for Thursday's defeat to Southend which he is going to now miss. Stones' 3 match suspension is also horrific for me as CB is where I'm lacking in depth.

Went 2:1 up at 46 mins in and there was no excitement as I knew the game would screw me over again and sure enough, 87th min I conceded an equaliser. Got tired of it ages ago. Will finish 4th at best, but likely 6thish despite dominating pretty much every game.
Well done to Forest on breaking into the top 10 despite not being in Division 1 for the first three seasons. Big credit to @RedSky and @The Taurean. Darlington is fast gaining on the top 10 and two of the teams in the top 10 aren't in Division 1 anymore. Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd are the only three teams to stay in the top five since the beginning.
