December started well, but we go into the winter break in bad form and in the bottom three

It got no better in November and we're in the relegation playoff spots

We didn't win a league game in October either, but other than the Groningen game, which we ended with 9 men (1 red card, 1 injury after using all our subs at half time), we were good in every game. We need to finish our chances, and cut out the mistakes at the back. We are slipping dangerously close to the relegation zone. We have definitely got to win a game in November

September was really tough and with the others around us having games in hand, we're in trouble. The big positive so far this season is that we've given PSV and Feyenoord a real fight, even taking the lead against the latter

I think I'll be here a few seasons, but only if we manage to stay up, then I can build a team and hopefully give them a first ever European adventure.

Not a bad start to the season although we still need to keep an eye on the gap between ourselves and the bottom 3

Thanks kevhamster Whatever happens, I'll set a record high league position for Almere, as this is their first ever in the Eredivisie. Therefore, the aim has to be simple survival this season, and hopefully build from there

and I've added three players since arriving

I set up quite a difficult preseason, but the results were worse than I expected, with the exception of a brilliant draw in the final game

This is the squad I've inherited

I'm off to Holland

And almost immediately got another interview

I've made a big decision
