Some massive results have really closed this division right up. Id appreciate a play off place, more fames for Dyer to gain abs. No way id want to be promoted though, without a gk whats the point?

At last a week to really put a smile on the Aberdeen manager's face. We entertained the second place team and I expected them to come looking for points, so showed them plenty of respect and set up on the counter. I can claim it was an inspired choice but there's a lot of luck in getting the right tactics. Anyway, it was a good choice and we had the slight upper hand for most of the game. Sorensen was on good form as usual and it took a late header from a defender to finally break him down. Then we were able to kill the game off, still a few chances for Villa too grab a point but it wasn't to be this time. It feels like a well earned win.
Elsewhere, great results for us. The last unbeaten record in the league finally went as PSG overturned Schalke. The Germans suddenly look vulnerable, and the French newcomers are not only now in the automatic promotion spot but look like they could be shock champions. Newcastle put in a weak performance and only managed a draw against strugglers Chelsea. Madrid were also well beaten in Wearside. Man City keep up the heat on us with a chaotic last 10 minutes in the derby.
So we haven't moved up, but only a point now separates 4-6, and we're only 5 points off the promotion spot, which feels a lot better than a couple of weeks ago.
We have 4 away games in our last 6, which is a problem given our terrible away form. But 3 of those are against bottom 4 clubs.

Yes, I think the average keeper skill might be higher in Div 1 than Elite at the moment. The weak keepers are Osasuna, Tottenham and Juventus. You'd be better off staying in Div 2 for 2-3 seasons, that's for sure.

Makes such a difference having a strong keeper, I reckon Lehman must have been worth about 3 or 4 extra wins a season for me before he retired this season

Have no idea how to get one either.
Seems a looooong wait to develop one, which I dont fancy doing.

There arent many good young ones out there, so they will cost a fortune.
Chris has pulled off a tidy signing here from Osasuna....

He will be good in 4 maybe 5 seasons time, but I dont want to wait that long. 5 seasons of playing a game I know I ha e a disadvantage at winning isnt that appealing...
End of season ill have to see what potential deals can be made, but I dont see a way, even if I offered a monstrous deal.
