Tactic Master Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Mid Season Report Season 2017/2018 This is officially my longest ever Football Manager save! This goes to show how much i'm enjoying it and hopefully I can continue to play this save for a long time! Npower League 1 | Fixtures Npower League 1 Although I have to admit that i believed we would do well, I didn't think we would do this well! Only 4 points behind 1st place and if we carry on at this rate, we are almost guaranteed a top half finish at least. We've had some massive victories so far this season, but also some very annoying and avoidable losses, including our opening match against Coventry, which we lost to a 92nd minute goal. Coventry had 2 shots on target, whilst we had 8 and we lost 2 - 1, but then we could look towards the following match against MK Dons, which we won 5 - 1! It should have been 6, but Walsh missed a penalty. Managers Thoughts: I think we will gain a play-off spot come the end of the season, as I don't think we have the best consistency and I believe one team will run away with the league. Automatic Promotion is an outside chance. League Cup 1st Round: Leeds United 4 - 2 Chester Managers Thoughts: Yet again, we get a very difficult draw and lose! Hopefully next season will bring something different, something easier. Johnstone's Paint Trophy North 1st Round: Rochdale 1 - 4 Chester 2nd Round: Port Vale 1 - 2 Chester Quarter Final: Chester 3 - 1 Mansfield Semi Final: Burton 0 - 3 Chester Managers Thoughts: For the first time ever, we look like we could go all the way in a cup competition! Considering what we managed in the FA Cup last season, this looks like a walk in the park! The South looks much more difficult, whilst the 4 teams we have faced were all from League 2. We will meet a League 1 opposition most likely in the actual Final, but in the North Final we face League 2 opposition again. FA Cup 1st Round: Chester 2 - 0 Coventry 2nd Round: Chester 3 - 1 Brentford Managers Thoughts: Easy enough draws in my eyes, although we had to fight to beat Coventry. With the 3rd round draw, we face Blue Square Bet South team Eastleigh which almost guarantees us to reach the 4th round! Hopefully we can move further than that or at least face a big team. The Star Player Christian Walsh - He's just getting better and better and is top of the goalscorers list in the npower league 1! Other players haven't performed as well as last season, but Walsh is helping to hold things together. An Unfortunate Incident Gary Beckford - Has done a good job this season, almost as good as last season, but unfortunately his season has ended early with a broken leg! It's definately a huge blow, but thankfully Kyle Pope has been making huge strides this season and will take his place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avramski Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm going to give this challenge 1 more go.... Despite what I said in my previous post, I took over Darlington, but I lasted 17 days before the new chairman sacked me in order to employ his own manager .... That's right, New manager comes in, someone puts a bid in for the club, 2 weeks later, he takes over and then sacks the current manager (me). That surely must go down as 1 of the shortest mangerial runs ever .... Anyway, I've taken over newly promoted Kingstonian, as they have a reasonable stadium, and for their level, reasonable facilities Manager profile Club profile Club facilities Transfers as of June 24th.

Marky Mark! Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 FM11 - Sutton United FC 2015/16 Season Update - Blue Square Bet Premier - Marky Mark! 2011/12 - BSS, 1st, FA Trophy 2nd Round, BSS Champions! 2012/13 - BSP, 2nd, FA Cup 1st Round, FA Trophy 4th Round, Lost in BSP Playoff Final 2013/14 - BSP, 14th, FA Cup 1st Round, FA Trophy 1st Round 2014/15 - BSP, 16th, FA Cup 2nd Round, FA Trophy Winners! 2015/16 - BSP, 2nd, FA Cup 1st Round, FA Trophy 1st Round, Promotion! 46 Pld, 22 Won, 12 Drn, 12 Lst, 75 For, 60 Ag, +15 GD, 78 Pts League / Domestic Cups After disappointing seasons in the previous two years, everything seemed to come together this year, and for the majority of the season we were sitting pretty in 2nd place, although could never quite catch first placed Stockport, and had to settle for 2nd place and the playoffs... again. 2016 League Table and Graph After breezing past Darlington 4-1 and 2-2 in the semi-finals, we were up against 3rd placed Macclesfield in the final. After losing in the playoff final 3 years ago, I was very wary this time around, and Macclesfield probably played the better football on the day, managing 13 shots to 5, but they could only manage 1 on target compared to our 4, and somehow, I walked away with a 3-0 win and promotion to the Football League! 2016 Playoff Final Star Players Fan's Player of the Year - Oliver Nicholas No surprises here, the 24 year old Eritrean central defender has now taken out this award 3 times in the past 4 years, and is still by far the best member of the squad. Whilst he still has a lot of low attributes, all of his key defensive attributes are now in double digits, which is more than any other defender in the side can say. Managing 5 goals and 5 assists from 47 appearances at 7.29, he was once again the only member of the squad to average over 7. Most Promising U18 Player - 18 year old central defender Gonsalves didn't manage a league start this season, but did make 14 substitute league appearances and 3 cup appearances at 6.73 - whilst not amazing reading, I expect to see more from him in the future. 2016 Seasonal Best XI and Overall Best XI Finances / Facilities After pretty much breaking even each month, I managed to make a $250k profit in May due to the playoff final, which saw my total bank balance shoot up past $400k for the first time ever - still not enough to improve any of my facilities, but with the riches of League 2 next season, hopefully that will change. 2016 Finances Pitch Conditions: Very Poor Training Facilities: Adequate Youth Facilities: Basic Youth Recruitment: Basic So there you have it, after two very mediocre seasons in the BSP, I have somehow managed to pull it all together this season for promotion! Seems like playing my youth players the last few seasons is starting to pay off, although I think it will be an uphill struggle next season in League 2. 2016 New Club Records Average Attendance: 2,355 Biggest Defeat: 1 - 7 v Dover (A) Blue Square Bet Premier 8.3.2016 Most League Apps for Club: Kevin Scriven - 270 Most League Goals for Club: Sam Gargan - 98 Oldest Player: Uriel Trustfull - 38 years 11 days (v Mansfield (A) Blue Square Bet Premier 14.11.2015) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avramski Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Finances Not a bad pre-season! (screenshot taken last night, I'm well into the season now.) Wages have been around £1500/week all season, so financially, I'm still well set. I'm holding of getting my youth recruitment and junior coach until the beginning of March (not long now), simply because I have no youth players currently, so it's wasted money if I have it done before then.

Avramski Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Kingstonian - BSS - 2012/13 A solid and unspectaular season resulted in us finishing 16th in the league, despite for most of the season only having 13 or 14 players available. Out of both cups at the first hurdle, but as I had such a small squad, I'm not to bothered about that as it meant less games, so I could keep the players rested a little bit more. At the beginning of March, I got my junior coaching upgraded to adequate. While I wasn't expecting to have many players coming through worth looking at, I was pleasently surprised by the players I did get, as it meant I now had cover for a few positions. Nathan Skinner (report card) got the YP tag, as he's tipped to be a good BSP player in the future, just shading the other 2 players who are rated at 5 star PA, as they are tipped to be leading BSS players. 1 final thing, proof I'm not cheating. Oh, I've still got £330k in the bank, so with another money spinning pre-season, I'll hopefully get a few upgrades next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatLiverpoolGuy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Doing well for a side that you would bet to get relegated. Hovering at about 10th or 11th right now, I'll try to push for a promotion spot! Early successes with a relatively bad squad. Injury problems as well, with my best defender being out, soooooo many defensive problems going on! I think we would be top 6 for sure if my defense learned to successfully back pass or not give away penalties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, the board finally agreed to go Professional at the start of the season. Then, after a couple of big cup games against League 1 teams, and the Premier League solidarity payment of $250k, I managed to get my finances over $500k, enough for the board to approve the construction of a Youth Academy! By the end of the season the balance was back down to $290k, but by then the board had already begun construction on the academy, and it was too late to cancel it! 2017 Finances Pitch Conditions: Very Poor Training Facilities: Adequate Youth Facilities: Basic Youth Recruitment: Basic So, whilst relegation from League 2 wasn't a complete surprise, it was still disappointing, and I'm hoping to bounce back up next season, hopefully with a batch of promising youngsters out of my soon to be constructed youth academy! 2017 New Club Records Highest League Position: 24th in League Two Average Attendance: 2,363 Most Games Lost in Row: 8 - 31.12.2016 to 11.2.2017 Most Games Without Winning: 22 - 28.12.2016 to 29.4.2017 Most Games Without Scoring: 4 - 10.9.2016 to 27.9.2016 Worst Discipline: Gary White - 16 yellow cards / 2 red cards Most League Apps for Club: Kevin Scriven - 316 Most League Goals for Club: Sam Gargan - 104 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braumiller Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I am a little behind on updating and will rectify that either this evening or tomorrow evening. However, just jumped into the game real quick and received this offer!!! So, Sam Bryant is the heartbeat of my team. Without giving away spoilers of my overdue updates, he has won player of the year honors for a particular division just recently and averaged over 7.50 for the season. My coaching reports grade him as a good to leading Championship MC, with the potential to now be a good Premier League MC (original youth intake potential report gave good Championship MC). Now here comes the BUT. But, he only has 11 months left on his contract and while he will open negotiations with me, even if I offer the max amount for every option, he (well, his agent) shuts down talks due to being too far off what the want. I guess the only real reason for keeping him one more season is to try and climb another rung of the ladder before he leaves, but then I might (will!) be too far out of my depth without him. He is currently worth 875k. Presuming my only real recourse here is to sell, reinvest the cash in facility upgrades and move on?
