ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 This is the story of a save I started when the full game was first released, It is currently at the 2017/2018 season and I will update to that point. Please feel free to discuss within this thread:thup: Version: FM09 DB: 9.1.0 Edits: To coincide with real life moves at the time, a few loan deals involving Stockport County players were edited in, but no other edits were made Background: It was fifth time lucky. After four failed attempts in the nineties at the national stadium, Wembley finally bowed down to Stockport County Football Club. Ever present in the four previous visits, and now club manager, no-one was more relieved than Jim Gannon. An own goal from Nathan Stanton followed by strikes from Anthony Pilkington and Liam Dickinson had earned County a well deserved place in L1. I appointed myself as manager of Stockport County on 8th July 2008 (game start date, ironically exactly 1 year before a real new manager would be appointed in real life) and had a look at the squad It looked as follows: The goalkeeper position was the immediate weakness, and so I immediatly sought to bring in Newcastle stopper Fraser Forster on a season-long loan. Seeing that the defence needed a bit of quality to play alongside Raynes, £35K was spent on signing hotly rated Kelvin Langmead from Shrewsbury Town. Third signing was midfielder Michael Noone, released by Millwall, and the Irishman would provide good midfield cover for limited wages. The starting Eleven looked as follows (Cover in brackets) GK - Fraser Forster (Owain Fon Williams) DL - Michael Rose (Jim McNulty) DR - Johnny Mullins (Luca Havern) DC - Michael Raynes (James Tunnicliffe) DC - Kelvin Langmead (Jim McNulty) MC - Carl Baker (Michael Noone) MC - Stephen Gleeson (Gary Dicker) AMR - Anthony Pilkington (Leon McSweeney) AML - Tommy Rowe (Carl Baker) ST - Craig Davies (Matty McNeil) ST - Peter Thompson (Darren Green) I have noticed that some of the cover players aren't of the required standard, but no-one will take them and that will have to wait until their contracts expire (most are one year deals) August 2008 Stockport County 0-2 Tranmere Rovers We didn't turn up for the opening day, and the midfield duo of George O'Callaghan and Steve Jennings carved open the backbone of the team allowing one time County player, and still record signing Ian Moore to get a brace Preston North End 3-1 Stockport County (Carling Cup 1st Round) Deepdale has never been a happy hunting ground for the Hatters, some shocking defeats spring to memory upon mention of the place, and this wasn't going to stop the rot. PNE were 3 up and cruising before we had a shot on target, which actually found the net, a 20-yard drive from Craig Davies Hartlepool United 2-2 Stockport County Victoria Park is always a difficult place to go, and this was no different, new £100K signing from Linfield Peter Thompson was the difference, as he scored the first equaliser and went on to set up the second on a plate for Dom Blizzard Stockport County 2-1 Bristol Rovers After the disappointment of the opening day, the Edgeley Park crowd sprung into life as goals from Gary Dicker and Tommy Rowe either side of an equaliser by the man all stopfordians love to hate - Rickie Lambert, earned all three points. Lambert, Lambert, What's the score? Oldham Athletic 3-5 Stockport County A derby win is one thing, but the nature of this made it so much more special. Not only did we score 5 goals away from home, but we hit back from 2-0 down at the Interval. Man of the Match Stephen Gleeson ran the show, scoring 2 goals, the others coming from Craig Davies, Peter Thompson and substitute Matty McNeil (A lot) More to Come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raware Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Nice start and i like your brief match summaries. There's something about them that just catch my eye despite being minimalistic...maybe the wording you use. Just one question...are you still playing this save or have you finished it and will only be updating up until the year 2017/18? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 September 2008 Stockport County 2-0 Rochdale (Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Section First Round) The first time the sides had met since that fateful day in the Capital just over 3 months ago. It was Dale who took the lead on that occasion, but no such luck this time for the men spending their 37th consecutive year in the basement division of the Football League. Peter Thompson got both goals, as County dominated and took home the local bragging rights, as they had done every time since Rochdale triumphed 7-2 at Edgeley Park in 2007 Huddersfield Town 2-1 Stockport County A run of three straight wins was brought to an abrupt end in West Yorkshire, as Gary Roberts and Andy Booth scored in the first ten minutes. Davies replied just after half time, but it was always the Terriers who were going to win the game Stockport County 4-1 Leeds United It was the big one, the first ever meeting between the two sides, and one man certainly turned up, and he was dressed in blue and white. A stunning hat-trick from Craig Davies sent the Blue and white army into raptures, and when Stephen Gleeson made it 4, the best individual result in my management career today was complete. The once mighty whites had been put firmly in their place by a small club from North Cheshire Crewe Alexandra 0-3 Stockport County How things can change in a week. From playing a club who even in their current lowly state are still one of the biggest in the country, to a Cheshire Derby at Gresty Road that may not appear in the same league to the untrained eye, it was just as important to those who flocked down the M6 in their thousands. Thankfully, the performance didn't change at all, Gleeson again questioning parent club Wolves eagerness to get rid of him with two more goals from midfield. Gary Dicker made it three to give the scoreline a particularly comfortable look Stockport County 0-1 Milton Keynes Dons Now how disappointing that was. Another former County player scores against us, this time in the form of Albie Wilbraham. Never mind, its nothing we're not used to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 October 2008 Northampton Town 2-3 Stockport County It was the struggling Cobblers who took the lead at Sixfields, but it didn't take long for County to reply, Gleeson, Davies and McNeil the scorers before Davies made the score respectable for the home side Stockport County 3-0 Accrington Stanley (Johnstone's Paint Trophy Second Round) This was just as easy as it should have been against the team at the foot of League Two. I have a lot of respect for Stanley, John Coleman is a very competent manager, and their slogan on the top of the tunnel at the Crown Ground, 'The club that wouldn't die' says a lot. However, they did die rather easily in this match, as it was only too easy for Gleeson, Davies and Thompson to send them back to mid-Lancashire having waved goodbye to their Wembley hopes. Scunthorpe United 3-1 Stockport County A cold midweek evening in North Lincolnshire, and a non-performance. Disappointing but understandable against a good Scunthorpe side, and I'm not going to let this bother me too much. Goal came from a scunthorpe player in fact, midfielder Sam Togwell putting past his own keeper Joe Murphy Stockport County 4-0 Cheltenham Town Yes, Cheltenham were distinctly average, but that was more due to the fact that we didn't let them play. This is the kind of performance you look back at to remind yourselves of how you can play. I expect more of a Martin Allen led side than to sit back and allow us to play, but in reality they couldn't cope with us. Goals from Thompson, Davies, Dicker and Baker Stockport County 2-0 Southend United Forget the play-offs, we're going up as champions! Fourth place Southend leave Edgeley Park without having had a shot, on or off target. Goals may be a concern, as Thompson and Dicker scored their decisive goals on 76 and 87 minutes respectively. Things are looking good, however! Brighton and Hove Albion 3-0 Stockport County Hmm, things have suddenly gone horribly wrong within 90 minutes on the south coast. County left their footballing hearts at home in Cheshire, as Albion ran all over them and deservedly humiliated them. Lets forget about this and move on eh? Stockport County 2-3 Millwall A brave, brave effort against a very big and very strong Millwall side. Unfortunately for the Hatters, Craig Davies and Gary Dicker's goals weren't quite enough and Millwall are definite genuine promotion contenders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 November 2008: New Signing: Stockport County swoop to re-sign club favourite Liam Dickinson on a 3-month loan deal from Derby County and he goes straight into the squad for today's trip to Peterborough Peterborough United 3-4 Stockport County The suupporters of Stockport County have seen the ability of Liam Dickinson all before. His second debut for the club however was even more special than before. Trailing 3-0 at half time the game looked dead and buried. Step in 'Dicko' and the game is rescued with a stunning hat-trick, before Stephen Gleeson wins it in the 94th minute to the delight of the travelling fans in the Moyes Terrace, without doubt the best away end in the football league Stockport County 3-5 Oldham Athletic (Johnstone's Paint Trophy Quarter Final) Its the reverse of the scoreline from the previous clash between the two sides at Boundary Park. Whatever the Latics players hit seemed to go in. County played their part as well, but despite two from Thompson and one from Dickinson, it just wasn't to be. Oh well, lets concentrate on the league Stockport County 0-2 Tranmere Rovers (FA Cup 1st Round) No, this is not a duplicate of the season's opening day, although it certainly felt like it. Tranmere frustrated us, and managed to get the two goals that mattered Stockport County 1-2 Leicester City The league leaders were given a tough match by play off chasing County, but a Matty Fryatt brace was enough for the Foxes to take all 3 points back to the Walkers. County struck first through Gary Dicker, who has displaced Anthony Pilkington in the team, but Fryatt stole the show Carlisle United 3-3 Stockport County For the five at the back it was a horror show at Brunton Park, although not as bad as the last visit in the league, when County were rock bottom of League 2 and a 6-0 defeat in cumbria followed. For the six players with attacking responsibilities, It was a good day at the office, with both strikers, Liam Dickinson and Peter Thompson, and midfielder Dominic Blizzard getting on the score sheet Stockport County 0-5 Hereford United Can it get any worse than this? An out of form top six team host an out of form bottom four team. The result - a 5-0 rout for the relegation candidates. Three of the Bulls goals were from thirty yards or more, all slipping through Big Fraser's fingers. The lowest point of the season for the Hatters. This downslide had to stop and quickly.

ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 December 2008: Swindon Town 3-2 Stockport County An improvement from the Hereford Horror show, but it is points, and not performances that are desperately needed at the moment. Goals were from Liam Dickinson and Dominic Blizzard Stockport County 1-0 Yeovil Town Phew! That was needed. Liam Dickinson scores the only goal as County win their first game since Peterborough, over 6 weeks ago Colchester United 3-3 Stockport County An unwelcome return for the now trademark leaky defence in County's first ever game at Col U's shiny new stadium. Said leaky defence was saved by Thompson, McNeil and one of their own in Kelvin Langmead after the centre-half redeemed his mistake for the U's third by rising at the near post after a corner Stockport County 1-0 Leyton Orient Orient give County a late Christmas present by not turning up at Edgeley Park on Boxing day. They would have got away with it but for keeper Jamie Jones allowing Johnny Mullins strike to slip under his body and into the gaping net Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 January 2009: Stockport County 0-1 Hartlepool United Pools will not win many away games easier than this one. An 11th minute strike from James Brown proved the only goal as County failed to threaten Arran Lee-Barrett's goal Tranmere Rovers 1-1 Stockport County A Much improved performance on Merseyside as Liam Dickinson scores for County, but a Raynes error is duly punished by Ian Moore. The County fans will feel hard done by here though, and there are plenty of positives to take out of that Walsall 1-2 Stockport County Now performances like this is why we have play off ambitions. Jabo Ibehre gave the saddlers the lead, but Johnny Mullins and Gary Dicker earned County a much deserved three points Bristol Rovers 1-0 Stockport County Stuart Campbell the scorer of a goal just before half time to break County's impressive run of results Stockport County 3-2 Huddersfield Town An evening for midfielders at Edgeley Park as three of them - Gary Dicker followed by substitutes Dominic Blizzard and Anthony Pilkington grab the goals that sink Huddersfield Leeds United 3-0 Stockport County This was a very different Leeds side to the one that crumbled at Edgeley Park, and the new Leeds that was running away with the league, ran away with this match too thanks to goals from Jermaine Beckford, Andy Robinson and Luciano Becchio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Transfer News: Three signings made at the end of January - Central defender Alex John-Baptiste joined on loan from Blackpool, and the loan spells of Stephen Gleeson (from Wolves) and Liam Dickinson (from Derby) were extended until the end of the season February 2009: Stockport County 1-0 Crewe Alexandra The victories are narrow, and the defeats comprehensive at the moment. But as long as those victories are there, we can worry about our shocking goal difference later Milton Keynes Dons 1-2 Stockport County We seem to have finally realised that we have the ability to mount a play off push here, we left it late but who's complaining when their right full back puts the ball past his own keeper after 92 minutes to gift County 2 points Cheltenham Town 2-2 Stockport County Against the same team who were beaten 4-0 in Sk3, the return trip in Gloucestershire was difficult, especially after falling behind, but we really should have won after taking the lead through Liam Dickinson and then Peter Thompson, and it was disappointing to drop 2 points to Damien Spencer at the end Transfer News: Strong Gambian Defensive Midfielder Seyfo Soley joins on a free transfer after being released by Preston North End Stockport County 5-0 Scunthorpe United This is why we are play off chasers. We simply put to bed the disappointment of the previous Saturday, came out four days later and played another promotion chaser off the park. The goals flowed too - 2 for Thompson and an excellent hat trick for Dickinson - the second of his loan spell Stockport County 3-0 Oldham Athletic Eight goals in two games we've seen before, but not with two clean sheets in the process. Oldham couldn't deal with the Hatters in the third game between the teams this season, but the first that wasn't an 8 goal thriller Stockport County 2-2 Northampton Town A Two goal lead thrown away at Edgeley Park as Peter Thompson and then, with his first goal for the club, Seyfo Soley put the home side 2 up with an hour played, but Bayo Akinfenwa and Leon Constantine earned the cobblers a point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 March 2009: Southend United 4-2 Stockport County Tuesday night away games are always difficult and this was no exeption. We were never too far off, but both scorers were full backs. I suppose there's nothing wrong with the goals coming from all over the park Stockport County 2-1 Brighton and Hove Albion Play off charge still on. It needs not too much short of a 100% record from here on in, but it is definately do-able. Both goals from Liam Dickinson Stockport County 1-2 Peterborough United Disappointment as another home game goes begging, Anthony Pilkington gave County the lead but Posh hit back with George Boyd and Craig Mackail-Smith. Bye-Bye to the play off hopes Millwall 3-1 Stockport County Another goal for Pilkington who is going through a purple patch, but Wall claim play off place with easy win Leicester City 3-1 Stockport County Far too easy for the Foxes who now look certain to march straight into the Championship.

ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 April 2009: Hereford United 1-2 Stockport County All memories of the Hereford horror show at Edgeley Park in November are diminished as Liam Dickinson and Peter Thompson earn the points Stockport County 1-1 Swindon Town A rare goal from the impressive workhorse Baker should really have earned all three points but for more defensive errors Yeovil Town 1-2 Stockport County County will be left to wonder what might have been if they hadn't brought Liam Dickinson back to the club in November as the big man gets another goal to earn victory, this time at Yeovil's Huish Park Stockport County 3-1 Colchester United Rickie isn't the only Mr. Lambert that we love to hate. Paul isn't really Flavour of the month in Stockport either. Yes, we had a lovely day at Wembley thanks Paul. That goal really did mean something in the end didn't it. (You won't get this unless you support Stockport or Wycombe - Basically after the play off game, Lambert said that Stephen Gleeson's goal 'meant nothing'. Well, it meant nothing more than we went to Wembley, they didn't and oh, it also got him the sack:D:D:D:D) Leyton Orient 4-0 Stockport County What better way to end your away matches for the season with a nice, comprehensive defeat?

Raware Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 A good account there of the season's games and unlucky in missing out on the play offs.

ism-scfc Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 End of Season Report: Owain Fon Williams C Played 2 games, conceded 5 goals. Average, but wasn't given a chance Fraser Forster B Showed his class at times but was poor at others Johnny Mullins B Solid ever present full back Michael Rose B Wasn't an outstanding performer but did nothing wrong Michael Raynes C- Central defence wasn't the forté. They had a lot to do with two very attacking full backs but in front of a good keeper we shipped too many goals Kelvin Langmead C- Not the club's best signing. Came with a hot reputation, but alongside Raynes looked out of his depth Jim McNulty B+ Used sparingly but effectively. Probably too good for cover, hence why he got more first team opportunities ahead of Langmead and Calamity Raynes towards the end Gary Dicker A Far from goal shy, all the midfield, but particularly Dicker chipped in Dominic Blizzard B+ The loan signing of Gleeson hindered his chances, but even with limited appearances, his goal tally was right up there Stephen Gleeson A+ Already on the Favoured Personnel List before the game started, Gleeson was a class act in midfield all season Carl Baker A+ Talented winger who wears the club badge on his sleeve. Player of the Season for a reason Michael Noone C+ Limited appearances, and never really stood out Jason Taylor C Too many midfielders for him to have a chance Leon McSweeney B- Only the one appearance as he was cover for the ever-reliable Baker Anthony Pilkington B+ Class act and would have got more chances had it not been for competing with two quality wingers in Carl Baker and Tommy Rowe Tommy Rowe A Surprisingly goal shy season for Rowe, but 14 assists is impressive. A great left foot. Peter Thompson A Top scorer and deservedly so with 19 goals. Top season. Liam Dickinson A+ Came in November and took the league by storm with a debut hattrick. Would have been top scorer and POTS had he played a full season Craig Davies B Started well, no-one will ever forget the leeds game, but couldn't handle the competition when Dickinson came in Summer Transfer Dealings to come in next post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamza Bencherif - Of course your Ass Man likes the look of him...he was groomed at Forest Some nice signings made there, in particluarly Liam Dickinson (even if is is from Derby ) That's my philosophy on trying to climb the league's...look for players released by the big clubs.
