JackJCFC Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 February/March We wrapped up the league title and performances since haven't been that great which is disappointing. We suffered a shock 3-1 defeat to Airbus in the quarter finals, conceding twice in the last 6 minutes, really not happy about that but not much i can do about it now.

JackJCFC Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Euro Cup Quarter Final Stade Rennais (A): A surprisingly easy match. Morgan got himself another hat trick to make it 8 in the Euro Cup already, with Middleton and Lewis also chipping in goals to almost guarantee us progression into the semis. Stade Rennais (H): Rested half the team from the last game as they were a card away from a ban. We still found victory easy to come by, even if a couple of the players were a bit complacent.

JackJCFC Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Pre-season Only played 3 seasons again as i forgot to check and make sure there were more! Transfers Transfers Out: Mostly just youth players released or loaned out. The only big transfer was that of Dongombe for 7.5million, he was 29 and in his last year of his contract so i didn't really want to be giving out a big contract to a guy who's gonna be starting to decline soon, especially as he was already really slow. He was replaced by the one player i bought in. Transfers In Just one just coming in, he cost 10.5million although 5.5million of that is over 2 years monthly installments.

JackJCFC Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 October/November We're doing well in the league and have already got a 12 points lead, with no clear leader of the rest of the pack. I'm not too happy with our defense though, its certainly the area i need to improve the most. We just about made it to the League Cup final despite having the majority of our players away on internationals. We smashed Bala 7-0 in the 3rd round of the Welsh Cup Champions League Dynamo Kyiv (H): A deserved win but we left the scoreline a bit close with bad defending to blame. Athletic (H):We were the better team and had far more chances but proved to be wasteful infront of goal. Athletic (A): Not a great performance from anyone. One to forget. Lyon (H): A decent performance in a tight game but once again we were lacking that killer edge. Disappointed with how its gone this year, obviously a bit unlucky with the groups again, Athletic are too good for a 3rd seed team. Would have thought we'd put up more of a fight though, feel like we're going backwards a bit in this respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackJCFC Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 December/January Solid form from us once again, dropping a few points in a couple of draws, but yet to lose a game since the first day of the season. The big shock so far is the fact TNS failed to make the top 6 championship playoff, they face a big fight for European football next season now. Champions League Dynamo Kyiv (A): A nervy match but we just about held on for a draw to get 3rd place. We need another good run in the Euro Cup this season to balance out the poor group stage but we've got some tough draws coming up. Transfers Transfers Starting to make quite a few transfers both now and for the end of the season as i look to bring in more youngsters with the potential to be alot better than my current crop of players. I can't really afford to bring in top players who are already at their peak. Alot of the transfers in are part cash upfront part monthly installments. The big transfer out was Rendell who was a good player but i just wasn't convinced by him, we got a nice sum of money and i replaced him with Ferguson.

JackJCFC Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Euro Cup First Knockout Round Fenerbahce (H): A solid home performance, dominating the match and only conceding a very late goal.

JackJCFC Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Preseason A solid pre-season which sets us up well for the season. Transfers Transfers Out: After 600 club appearances, Gethin Morgan was released at the age of 34 having serious declined physically over the past year. We lost our right back Malesa on a free transfer as i couldn't get him a new work permit and he was 11 days off becoming a UK citizen. I also lost out other Right back Baillie for 18mi as Plymouth met his release clause, only 2million of this was actually cash upfront. The loss of these two players has weakened what was one of the strongest parts of my squad, i now have 1 loan right back and i'm currently looking for another one.

JackJCFC Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 August/September Not the best ever league start having already dropped 5 points. The poor performances are in large part down to the fact i have some really young players out there who haven't really adapted yet. Champions League Levski (A): A wins a win so i cant complain but i was expecting it to be more convincing. Transfers Idrissa Dabo: Got this 16 year old for 7.5million to cover at right back, unfortuntely he wont be ready for a few years, his league performances so far have told me this. I've also realised i've only got Miyoba on loan until mid October which is going to leave me with 2 under 18 right backs which could be disastrous.

JackJCFC Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 October/November We've not had the best of form in the past couple of months, with several poor draws in the league. We lost in the first round of the League Cup due to internationals missing the game. We also just about made it through the Welsh Cup 3rd round, with the youngsters getting a chance to impress. Champions League Galatasaray (H): A very comfortable win, we controlled the match well but gave away two cheap goals which was slightly disappointing. Man City (A): An early red card for Tallentire ruined any chance we had of getting something from the match and allowed City to run riot. Man City (H): We played well for the first 80 minutes, limited their chances, but we tired towards the end which allowed City to grab the 2 goals to win it. Levski (H): A really good performance to boost our confidence. It means that we're guaranteed to qualify from the group which is a relief, the first time we've done so in several years. It also means we can rest a few players in the final match to avoid yellow cards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackJCFC Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 December/January We've been in great form the past 2 months, winning every match and going 17 points clear at the top. Champions League Galatasaray (A): Rested some player but we were still able to batter them, with Lewis getting a hat trick. In the next round we have Barcelona which is going to be very tough, should be an exciting tie as the games between us usually are. Transfers Transfers I'v let a lot of youngsters go out on loan to gain experience as my squad was a bit too big to rotate them all. Loans can be seen here. Transfers In Vadim Potapov: Cost me 700k but looks like a very good prospect. Gonna develop him to be a deep lying playmaker and he should take over from Pritchard in a few years. Sebastian Maghenzani: Cost me 1million and should be a decent player, gives me some cover in the defensive midfield position as i've been having a lot of injuries there. Ulf Reichel: Highly rated by my scouts, he cost me 1million. It turns out i was slightly misled about his potential but he should still turn out a good player. Sent him out on loan to Ligue 2. Ersan Yilmaz: Sent to me by parent club Tottenham, don't really need him but he provides good cover upfront should i need it. Dean Ferdinand: Probably overpaid for him by paying 6.5million but he looks like a good prospect. He'll be my first choice for the rest of the season and hes had a great start.

JackJCFC Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Champions League First Knockout Round Barcelona (H): Barcelona started well, taking the lead but a red card early in the 2nd half put us in control. We were 2-1 up by the 75th minute and looked comfortable but Barca pushed on and managed to equalise with 5 minutes left. Barcelona (A): Again, Barca took an early lead but this time we responded with a goal of our own to make it 1-1. They landed a killer blow by scoring just before half time to make it 2-1. They mad it 3-1 on the hour mark which really damaged our chances of making progress.
