PIVOTAL TIME FOR JAKIROVIC'S CITY
nd so it begins. The tree is up, the lights are on, and the unmistakable tones of Shane MacGowan are heard in every supermarket, shop and on every Christmas playlist.

‘That's because, over the course of the previous 18 games, Sergej Jakirovic, his staff and players have masterminded a superb start which sees them ninth in the league, just a point outside the top six and with a wonderful platform from which to build.
Not without its setbacks, frustrations and disappointments, the Tigers have laid the ghosts of Christmas past well and truly to bed and go into a frantic eight-game period looking up, rather than down.
