JackJCFC Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 August/September 2018 We've had another unbeaten start although i do feel as though we've dropped a few too many points. We drew 0-0 to Bridgend and Haverfordwest, both of whom we should have beaten. That said, we did also manage a solid 0-0 draw against TNS in a match we dominated and perhaps should have won. It's still early days yet but TNS do have a 4 points lead so we need to start converting these draws into more wins! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackJCFC Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 October/November 2018 We're still unbeaten but the draws are really holding us back, we might as well have lost a few games. I think the unbeaten streak is getting to the team in terms of performance which is obviously leading to more draws, we're no longer dominating games like we used to. TNS now have a 10 point lead too so we need to change. We're out of both cups as my reserves failed on both fronts, most disappointingly in the Welsh cup where we lost to Hollyhead.

JackJCFC Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 December 2018/January 2019 Our unbeaten run came undone against TNS but we then won 7 games on the trot yet still failed to make up any ground on the league leaders. Our final game before the league split was against lowly Pretatyn and we labored to a 1-1 draw which turned out to be a chance to make up some ground, with TNS recording a rare draw, they are now 40 games unbeaten.

JackJCFC Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 February/March 2019 We lost again to TNS at home but then won a couple of games in a row. We had a disappointing defeat to Aberystwyth which let them gain ground on us, however, we then ended TNS's 46 game unbeaten run with a 2-1 away win. Our form then dropped again as we fell to a poor 4-2 defeat to Airbus which gave TNS their inevitable title win. We have qualified for Europe now but i want a good end to the season so we can finish 2nd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackJCFC Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Another solid season Jack. As Dave Brailsford says, it is all about marginal gains which is exactly what you are doing. Precisely, im on target to be our best ever points tally, which a few season ago would have won the league so all it takes it for TNS to slip up one year and we'll win it. That said, they are the richest and only Professional team in the league so it might take a while . Our youth academy is starting to churn out some great prospects too so not only should my squad continue to improve, i dont have to waste money/wages on bringing in players.

It was never in doubt April/May 2019 We got 7 points from our last 3 games, taking 2nd place with a game to spare. Our wins were very comfortable and it should have been the same against Aberystwyth but the team became slightly complacent as it was a match with nothing to play for but pride.

JackJCFC Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Carmarthen 2018/19 League Predicted: 2nd Finished: 2nd We had a great season with 2 strong unbeaten spells. Our main downfall was the amount of draws we got at the beginning of the season as the first of the unbeaten spells put pressure on the team and performances. Despite this we still managed a record amount of points and finished 2nd and could have won the league had TNS not been so incredibly strong. It also seems as though the league is starting to divide in terms of quality with TNS, Carmarthen and Aberystwyth getting at least double what the teams in 4th and below got. League Table European teams for next season ECC – TNS EC - Aberystwyth, Carmarthen, Airbus Cups Welsh Cup – Lost in the 3rd round to Holyhead. Winner: TNS League Cup - Lost in the 1st round to TNS. Winner: TNS Europe We won the 1st qualifying round against Suduva but then lost to Nordjaelland in the 2nd round. Transfers Glyn Foy ST AMR: was signed to be a backup RM but never learned the position and hardly ever played. Will be leaving this summer. Jay Wynne CM: arrived in Jan to bolster our midfield but suffered a few injurys as hes quite injury prone which stopped him from ever making anything more than a few sub appearances. Could be an important player if he can stay fit. So our 2 singings this season barely played as I don’t really need to sign players as my best 15 are almost all reaching their peak now. Aswell as that, our youth academy is giving me at least 2/3 players a season that have the potential to be first teamers so im able to pad the squad out with them. I’ve got a feeder team now so I can send some of the youths on loan as I have so many that could play for us should they develop and I just don’t have the space to give them all game time. Transfers Finances Made 240k from Europe but we still finished the season in the red. We have a wage bill of around 4k per week and we lose around 30k a month so that European boost is really important to stop us going heavily in debt. At the same time its stopping us really develop, im not able to scout outside of Wales and never will be if we don’t get more money. We have a new local sponsor of 2k per year which is the same as before, its so small its basically pocket money. Finances Wales The national team is ranked 18thand have reached the 1st round of the World cup last summer but they lost 1-0 to Brazil. They are 6 points clear in 2nd place for Euro qualification.

JackJCFC Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Euro Cup We made some good progress in the competiton this year. We had a comfortable win against Kastrioti in the 1st round, winning both legs of the tie. In the next round we faced Red Bull Saltzberg and we definitely rode our luck a bit. In the away leg we went down to 10 men after 60 minutes when we were already 1-0 down, despite this we still manage to equalise through an own goal to get an important away goal. In the home leg we managed to save a penalty and score a late goal through another own goal from their keeper which made the final score 2-1. In the 3rd round we faced the team who knocked us out last year. Nordjaelland. Once again they proved too strong for us, beating us on both legs. However, the home tie was alot more equal than the away leg it's just that they were more clinical and fitter than we were. We've made around 500k from this which is great for us as it puts us 220k in the black which might just about stop us from going in the red later in the season.

JackJCFC Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Pre-season With 6 European games during the pre season months we only played one friendly against our feeder team. The result was obviously disappointing but we played alot of reserves because i wanted to reset my players for Europe just 3 days later. Transfers - The transfers page says that we haven't signed anybody during the summer, we did actually sign one player from Port Talbot but it went under as last seasons. He's a young centre back who shoudl provide good backup and develop into a very good player in the future. I've loaned out alot of my young players who i think have the potential to play for us in a few years time so ill be looking forward to seeing how they get on. Due to the fact i've hardly signed anyone i'll show you a few young players who will be in my first team this year.

I'll echo Delta's comment - it seems a lot harder this time round, especially given their CL success, but no doubt it'll make it all the more satisfying when you finally take the title! Cheers, i definitely need to get a couple of good result in the 4 games i play against TNS to stand a chance. After that its just doing it on a seasonal basis. August/September 2019 Not a bad start, we played TNS and lost which was disappointing but i was pushing for an equaliser when we conceded a 2nd. The draw against Rhyl was really poor aswell, we conceded in the 90th minute. We are already 5 points behind TNS who have had the perfect start! Junior coaching is now 'excellent' although its costing a lot so i may reduce it. I've resigned Lampkin on a free after he was released from Crewe, this adds some more cover on the right of midfield.

Jason the Yank Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Getting this far has helped our bank balance, we're now 100k in the black so that around 230k made from this. I still expect to go back in the red in a few months but hopefully i can ask to scout outside of Wales and not be given the 'we can afford it' excuse. Doesn't seem to help if you're a semi-pro team though. At Smartno I could scout Eastern Europe, but my scouts never found anyone until we went professional. Looking in GD and the bugs forum, it seems that SI made it so players won't change countries (or even a great distance within a country, say going from London to Newcastle) to play at semi-pro level.

JackJCFC Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 October/November 2019 Our form has turned to mush these last couple of months. We lost heavily to TNS again and dropped silly points against Llanelli and Airbus. Not only that, we are out of both cups after my backup players performed awfully in both, particularly the welsh cup in which we lost on penalties.

However, we then lost 3-1 to Airbus completely against the run of play; We had 24 shots and 60% possession to their 40% and 9 shots.

JackJCFC Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Huge gaps between the top 3 There certainly was last season. This year it looks like just us and TNS who have really pulled away with Bangor City massively dropping off and Aberystwyth not performing as well as last year. TNS are a bit good aren't they? Apart from the Airbus result it's been a very good couple of months you seemed to have turned your form around pretty well. Well they're the only pro club in the league and they can afford wages 4 or 5 times my own for all their players, that has obviously been helped by their group stage success. I'm hoping when their start striker Draper retires or drops off (hes 30) that ill be able to compete with them more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackJCFC Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 February/March 2020 Our first game was against TNS which we should have won, we dominated and were 2-0 up until TNS got 2 in the last 5 minutes. A win there might have changed our fortunes the our next few matches where we dropped more points against Port Talbot and Aberystywth. By this points the league title was all but gone and we won 2 games in a row before losing to TNS in a close game which handed them the title. With 3 games left we're guaranteed 2nd and european football so theres not much to play for but id like to get to 70 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackJCFC Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Euro Cup We were seeded in the draw for the 1st time which allowed us an easier first round match against a Faroe Island team which we won 3-0.

Winner: Carmarthen League Cup - Lost in the quarter final against Airbus. Winner: Port Talbot Europe We won the 1st qualifying round against Streymur but then lost against Slask in the next round. Transfers No signings this summer, making this the first year where I’ve relied on youth to cover any outgoing players. We’re getting 2 or 3 really top prospects each season so its just a case of making sure they develop well. An added benefit of this is that their wages are generally lower so as they come into the first team my wage bill is gradually decreasing. Transfers Finances Our finances are now insecure after a making a big loss this season. We didn’t do aswell as last season in Europe which didn’t help but we still lost 40k per month. This is partly down to the fact we are spending a lot on junior coaching, but without this we simply wouldn’t have any decent players in the squad as scouting them is useless. We are 300k in the red so will have to do well in Europe next season to try and counter this. We have a new kit sponsor worth 35k per year instead of 15k as was before.

JackJCFC Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Euro Cup We were seeded again but we got a pretty tough draw in my opinion. Their best days are behind them but Ferencvaros are still a dangerous team and they proved too much for us. In the 1st away leg we started terribly, conceding 3 in the first 40 minutes. We managed to compose ourselves and get a grip on the game and an away goal but the 2nd leg was a fairly dull affair and no matter how attacking i went we still weren't able to break them down so we lost on aggregate. Very disappointing to go out in the 1st round considering our finances are pretty bad, we made 100k but thats not really near enough to reduce our debt.

Bloom, Edwards and Hood all left, all of whom have been permanent features of my defense for 6 years. The youth players have replaced them are finally at a decent stand and i've also been able to cut 1.5k from our wage bill which helps our poor finances a little.
