Paul Di11on Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Maybe this team is better than I thought considering we've now not conceded in our first 4 games and are sitting top of the table after winning 3 and drawing 1. Martin Fall has been one of my star turns averaging 7.5 and bagging a goal. I managed to sign a 33 year old D/DM/MC called Mariusz Lewandowski, he looks like he could make that defensive midfield position his own. He'd been released by Shakhtar.

col_nufc1 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 GATESHEAD END OF SEASON 3 REVIEW Gateshead do the double of League One winners and also Johnstone Paint Trophy. The star performers this season were. Luis Guilherme My young Brazilian keeper was brilliant again this season keeping 18 clean sheets. Ryan Taylor Great at full back or on the wing he made 18 assits. Segi My young Spanish midfielder was my playmaker and he got 15 assists and 5 goals. Victor Simoes A great goalscorer he got 32 goals. Yaya Sanogo A young striker on loan from Man Utd will go on to become a great striker he scored 21 goals and had 16 assists. Greg Wylde He only played 20 games due to a injury that ruled himout for 6 months but he had 8 assists and 2 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

col_nufc1 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I'd play 433 if I didn't have Gibbs, I could play him at left back but I think he'd be wasted there. Plus I don't really have an abundance of goodf central midfielders. Try the 4-5-1 and use Gibbs as a AML either as a inside forward or advanced playmaker he would be awesome in the Championship in that position.

Paul Di11on Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Result of the season so far, we just beat Sunderland 1-0 in the League Cup. Pity I'm not that bothered about the League Cup, I did play my strongest side though, I owe our fans as much. We didn't really play that well but Sunderland were poor, they shaded it mind. Another grear season col, I hope you're rright about us winning the league, I don't think I quite have the squad...yet. I'm terrified of injuries. I just signed another old guy, 33 year old right back Jean-Joel Perrier-Dombe. After praising Fall, i think he might be losing his place. I don't want to change a winning formation at the minute but I'll try it if and when we hit a sticky spell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My computer only recommends 75000 but it still works fine. Then the best players i signed in the BSP were. Patrick Vaz Antonio Esmerode Willy Topp Sabri Khelfa Sergi Jean-Marc Le Rouzic Cedric Fraumens Willy Robert John Van Krimpen Lencho Skibba Adrien Barbet Patricio Bustamante When i signed Willy Topp i offered him £700 per week and £2500 signing on fee.

Paul Di11on Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 "The Gateshead board remind you that the club is now required to make monthly repayments of £30K towards the £7M gift loan taken out earlier." So that's why we were suddenly awash with cash! How can you have a gift...loan? Isn't that an oxymoron? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
col_nufc1 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Why where you given a loan anyway ? Did you ask the chairman for extra transfer money ? I have never had a loan on any of my three saves as Gateshead. That is very strange :confused:. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Di11on Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 No I didn't ask for extra funds, my chairman just announced that he was making extra funds available to strengthen the squad or something to that effect. I hope this isn't going to cripple the club. £30K a month seems a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Di11on Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Phew, we just beat Iceland 3-2 after a seriously lackluster first half performance. Defoe was subbed at half time for Crouch since I thought we could play off him. That didn't really work either so I subbed both my wingers (Lennon & Cole) off, brought on Agbonlahor and Gareth Barry and played 433. We looked much better and dominated after that. Rooney, man of the match. Fran Merida on a free! Wowser!! Good luck on your wrong-headed enterprise mRANDOMNUMBERS! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Di11on Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Down to 4th after 6 games, we've only scored 1 goal in the last 3 games combined, that's not good. We still haven't conceded mind you. So we've won 3 and drawn 3, scored only 8 but conceded 0. Martin Pierre is my top scorer with 2, Simoes has 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Di11on Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 442 wide diamond, nice to be solid at the back but if I score none and concede none over the whole season I'll end up nearer the bottom than the top. We're creating chances mind, our strikers have just been shockingly profligate. Simoes for instance has 1 goal in 18 attempts. 4 on target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
col_nufc1 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Maybe Simoes is not Championship standard then although my coaches say he would be a leading Championship striker :confused:. Try playing control or attacking but then you wouldn't be as solid at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Di11on Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I'm playing Simoes as a trequartista mind not sure he's good enough for that but the rest of my strikers look like poachers to me and I can't play two poachers. I could try him deep lying or I could draft in Post, but I don't think he's good enough for the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Di11on Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Top by one point from Nottm Forest, played 8 won 5 drawn 3. Scored 14, conceded 2. Oliver Weiss & Martin Pierre are top scorers with 3, Simoes has 2. Simoes has 3 assists mind. Gibbs has 4 assists, Merida 3 assists. M'Bow looks good, Bamba looks like a decent right back. My left back Matt Hill is still holding his own but I'm looking to replace him if I can in January, there's nobody available for loan who's any better in my game so it's tough to recommend anyone. See if you can get either Joe Dudgeon or Dodo on loan, they turned me down but I'm going to try again until the window closes and then in January, they both look really good.

col_nufc1 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Like i said you will win the league. Abdoulaye Bamba will be back up to Ryan Taylor.
