Conman14 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hendon 2017/18 mid-season update Poor cup showing, but our league form is steady, consistent and good. 40 points has been reached already, so we should be safe already...no-one's particularly shining though Also got offered a job at Walsall and Hereford, on the same day too....needless to say I rejected.

Avramski Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 While I'm at it, I'll stake my claim for a Hall of fame place.Clean sheets by a youth keeper in a season - Bradley Power YP02-2. 17 in 2016/17 I'll upload the proof at the end of the season, but at the current rate, he could beat that record, as he has 15 already this season, and 5 games left to play (could be 7 or 8 yet, but it's looking doubtful we'll make the playoffs now.) Bradley has now broken that record with 3 clean sheets in a row, and still 2 games left to play, so he could still set a decent benchmark for everyone to aim for.

Goldyrulz Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Having finished pre season, a superb first two games of BSN life has come about. Firstly, beating relegated Braintree 2-1 away is a great result. We then faced Worcester in our first home game, which was announced to be a fan day, and brought about a bumper 3263 crowd. [video=youtube;fQksYqTxHKc] To say that I could not have asked for a better scoreline and display would be an understatement. Long may this continue!

As you can see, an astounding season in the cups, ending in a top notch match at Wembley where BSP team Eastbourne Boro were demolished 4-0. The only downside was that with all those extra games, we had a lot of re-arranged matches which led to fixture congestion right through to the end of March. In the FA Cup, L1 side Fleetwood were taken the distance, with the replay being televised. Unfortunately, they were better at penalties than we were In the league, our form was patchy, mainly because of all the extra cup games. It meant that the players were tired most of the time, so I had to keep chopping and changing the team to try and keep everyone as fit as possible. The fixture congestion at times was horrendous, especially at the end of March when the original SF 1st leg against Mansfield was postponed. That meant I then had a run of 7 games in 17 days (listed below). 21/3 Stalybridge (a) 2-0 24/3 Mansfield (h) 1-0 27/3 Mansfield (a) 3-3 31/3 Solihull (a) 2-1 2/4 Lowestoft (h) 3-1 4/4 Barrow (h) 1-0 7/4 Hereford (h) 0-2 For some strange reason after the Hereford game, I had 7 players who needed resting..... Anyway, the teams form was patchy through out the season, but once again, another strong run in meant we finished reasonably well, with 2 wins and 2 draws in the final 4 league games meant we finished 11th with 62 points. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, as my goal was to get into the playoffs again, but under the circumstances, I'm satisfied with how the season finished. The highlight of the season however, was 6 games in. We were away to Port Vale, and they were 1 of the favourites for promotion this season. At half time, the score was 1-1. It didn't finish that way .... Season P W D L GF GA GD Points Pos.

Having to chop and change too much. A new chairman took over the club at the beginning of February, and the first thing he did was take out a loan of £215,000 to get the club back into the black. Thankfully, the loan repayments are only £1476 a month. I wasn't to disappointed, as despite 2 strong cup runs and a strong (financially) pre-season, we were on course to make a healthy profit, but would still be roughly £130,000 in the red (at the time of writing this). One benfit though, was that the new chairman agreed at the start of March to increase the clubs junior coaching to excellent. However, my youth intake was worse than the previous 2 seasons when it was only rated as good. However, Wally Weston (report card) and David Russell (report card) did stand out, so they will get the YP tags this year.

Special mention though for Bradley Power YP02-2. He kept 20 clean sheets during the season. Transfers - I'm clean. There will be a lot more activity next season, as I'm having a massive clear out. I've currently got 73 players at the club. Overall, a good, solid and unspectacular season. For next season, my aims are playoffs minimum, 2nd round of the FA cup, get the wage bill down (currently £330,000/year) and stay in the black.

Avramski Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yeah. I may just put out a team of youngsters for Q3 this season, as I was having to make 3 or 4 changes for nearly every match. Out of the 2 cups, I much prefer a half decent run in the FA Cup, as you get better prize money and more people through the gates. 2nd round will do me, as that will generate quite a bit of money. Mind you, I'll not say no to Man Utd away in the 3rd round EDIT :: Nicely timed boost for the team. It has been announced just before the start of the season that 3 of the favourites for promotion (Hereford, Port Vale ans Stockport), have been deducted 10 points for going into administration.

Tactic Master Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Northampton 4 - 5 Chester The most amazing match i've ever been involved in! At half time we were 2 down, so for the first time in a while I re-introduced the hair dryer treatment! Soon enough we were 3 down, but 8 minute later Sarcevic turned up with a special goal as he has done so often. Then it appeared to be all over and looked to be getting worse 4 minutes later as Jack Smith scored his 4th for Northampton, bringing the score to 4 - 1... I moved some players around and introduced Lewis Jones for the 12th time since his career began in 2011! It was desperate times with Petrillo and Smart away on International duty and some how we won 5 - 4!!!

Braumiller Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Weymouth FC Summary - Season 2015-16 Season 4 Targets * Promotion! Not as big a reach as once imagined, but still a tough ask right now Achieved!! Finished 2nd, won the play-offs * Maintain wage bill. Original YPs are now signing new contracts and original players are now leaving. A balancing act. Achieved, ran most of the season at around 1,900 pw * A decent cup run. Would definitely help finances. Achieved. Made it to the FA Cup 3rd round * Operate in profit again. Achieved, but only just and thanks to the 2 play off home games with bumper crowds What a year and where oh where did my fingernails go! For the second year in a row we got out of the gates at a slower than expected pace, but we were able to gradually build our momentum and challenge for honours. Ultimately we fell short of claiming the first piece of silverware of my reign, but 3 very good play-off games saw us promoted! Play-off semi final opponents were one of our listed rivals, Dorchester. Going into the game we had won only 1 of our previous 9 encounters, but a gutsy 3-2 away win in the away leg was followed by a tight 1-0 home win and we were going to be playing in theclubs biggest game for quite some time. Play off final opponents were Welling, who we had also struggled against. One win in 6 meetings against them. This night though was nothing short of spectacular and the best Weymouth performance of the season was saved for the last game of the season. A mammoth 5-1 result and a fitting MoM finale for Sam Bryant with 2 goals and 2 assists. Final League Table The FA Cup run provided the fans with a lot of entertainment as well, including our first ever league scalp when we traveled to Kenilworth Road and beat L2 Luton Town in round 2. Round 3 saw a home tie against top of L2 Port Vale and reality set back in with a comprehensive 0-4 loss. The FA Trophy run was short lived and best forgotten! Youth Intake The pre-season saw the board agree for the 4th pre-season in a row to improve our junior coaching, this time resulting in it being ranked as 'Excellent'. It is now costing us just over 21,000 per month in youth set-up costs, so financially we are set up to live or die by the (youth) sword. This years intake of youth was again pleasing. Four players were tagged YP 4x, with the top prospect being Nathan Clark (YP 4a) Report Card | Starting Attributes. A natural DM or MC, I am hoping he will form a long lasting partnership with last years uber talent Sam Bryant (YP 3a). For the first time I did not just sign all of the youths to youth deals, infact more than half were let go once their youth trials expired. Additionally, around a dozen youth players from the first couple of intake are being let go when their contracts expire this summer. I am very happy with the midfield and attack for the years ahead (barring any talent poaching from higher reputation clubs), but I am beginning to become very concerned about my defence and goalkeeping situation. I have always had a leaky defence, but the initial year 1 youth intake defenders I received are failing to live up to the immediate excitement. My GK has been the same for all 4 seasons and is constantly the brunt of my backroom staff's advice to drop him due to poor form, with not one good youth intake option to appear. As it stands in my first year in the BSP coming up, I need to score more than I concede. Sounds blatantly obvious, but I do not see (m)any clean sheets in my future.

stothy Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Well mid way through season (Jan 1st) the board gave me the chance to change my objectives. So I have, from avoid relegation to Mid Table finish. I am actually aiming for playoffs as I am currently about 3 points off them but I didn't want to set expectations too high! Also changed my tactics, they are still just as attacking as before but now my players are allowed a bit more freedom. by statistics we are one of the best defences in the league so It was time for a change as this season I have no prolific top scorer (Best at 7 and he is a winger!) So I changed my defensive forward to a poacher! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew the Cookie Eater Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Drew. Lowestoft Town. League One. 2021/2022. Table - We survived, that's the important thing, we were doing quite well until Christmas and then it kind of fell apart, but we won just enough games in the final seven or eight games to get enough points to beat the drop. Squad Aradavan Dobinson YP1 played a few times, was rubbish, will be released. Glen Franks YP4 was solid, nothing special. Ollie Driver YP5 again, solid but nothing special, didn't get as much goals as I had hoped. Christian Frew YP6 solid enough, chipped in with some goals and assists. Kenny Stockwell YP7 recurring them here, solid but nothing special. Luke Southgate YP9 hardly played, will be sent out on loan next season. Ollie Hooper YP10 impressed with this kid, I have a feeling he'll be vital for us for years to come.
