JackJCFC Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Pre-season A solid set of results here with plenty of games for match fitness. Our first silverware of the season too Transfers Transfers Out: I let Richie Lewis go at the age of 32, still a good player for the Welsh leagues but not worth the 15k he wanted to stay on. Igwe and Maghenzani both left having fallen down the pecking order, replaced with 2 high potential youngsters. The other transfer out were youngsters who weren't good enough or in Agape's case, wasn't going to get any game time.

JackJCFC Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 August/September A great start to the season with some big wins. We originally beat Bangor 10-0 but a crash meant i had to replay it and we only won 3-0. Champions League Lyon (H): Originally won this 3-2 but a crash meant i lost the progress so i holidayed the match until i got the 3 points. Club Brugge: With Morgan and Junior injured i was left with just 2 strikers, they stepped up brilliantly with Peers getting himself a hat-trick. It was a great allround performance.

JackJCFC Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 October/November We've still got our 100% winning record in the league with 14 wins from 14, putting us 15 points clear. We're into the 4th round of the Welsh Cup after an easy 3rd round draw and we're into the final of the League Cup, beating Bangor, Cefn Druids and Airbus despite having to field a team of almost all youngsters Champions League Inter (H): Both teams got a goal early on, we had the more chances throughout the match but got the winner through a late penalty. Inter (A): A tough game in which Inter were the better team, we hit them on the counter for both goal, with 15 minutes left and in added time. Lyon (A): A decent performance but our strikers weren't at their best. Club Brugge (H): We took an early lead but went down to 10 men shortly after. We still went on to dominate the match, adding 2 more goals towards the end of the 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackJCFC Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Champions League First Knockout Round Barcelona (A): With Morgan out injured Junior started in his place but found himself sent off after 14 minutes, giving us a seemingly impossible task. Barca took the lead shortly after but we were able to defend well and limit them to just the one goal for the game. Barcelona (H): Barca took an early lead which meant we needed 3 goals. We dominated the first half but couldn't score, after a big team talk we came out even stronger, getting a goal just after half time and just after the hour mark with a very real chance of getting the 3rd goal. We went all out but we just couldn't find the net again so we lost on away goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackJCFC Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Pre-season A decent enough pre season, one or two players got little niggles but apart from that we're looking good. Transfers Transfers Out: The big news this summer is that we lost Balestra to Blackburn for a record 30million, he was valued at 18million and Blackburn, along with Man United, put in bids to match his minimum release clause. I wasn't able to pursuade him to stay but i can't argue with the money. Youth product Hennessey was sold for 1.5mil which i thought was a good deal as he didn't look like reaching his potential. Keeper Buisson was also sold after 3 seasons and not impressing. The other news not shown here is that as part of the Allen transfer, Washington moved the other way. I must admit, this is something i was not aware of until after the transfer had gone through but i was intending on selling him anyway.

JackJCFC Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Very surprised to see Morgan retire from internationals at the age of 30. He was the Welsh captain and arguably their most important player, scoring many important goals. It's a shame as he'd easily have got over 100 caps but his goalscoring record was pretty good for this level. At least i don't have to worry about him picking up injuries when playing for Wales now!

JackJCFC Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 How are your facilities and stadium ?Also what formation are you playing ? Facilities - All maxed out apart from youth recuitment which i've had one upgrade for. Stadium is still the same one i started with, we only fill 2/3's of it in the league and we play at bigger stadiums in Europe apart from when other Welsh teams are using them. Formations / Tactics - Pretty much use only this formation, works well in Europe and still lets me dominate teams in the league. I did try a 4-2-3-1 for a while but it wasn't as solid as 4-4-2 so i went back. Looking like another dominating season Cheers Cerud Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackJCFC Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 So no chance of a stadium upgrade since attendance is not increasing ?So what about trying to max out your youth recruitment ? How is the youth intake in general ? Attendance is going up but pretty slowly, i'll need some sort of sucess in Europe to boost it enough for a stadium upgrade. I've only had the chance to improve recruitment once so theres not much i can do on that front. I've not had a youth player with more than 3 stars through in about 4 or 5 years. Generally i get a few 2.5/2/1.5 star players and rest half stars. I do still put in some effort developing them though then sell them off a few years later for small profit, some of them have developed into decent little players.

JackJCFC Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 October/November Still unbeaten in the league but we did draw with Cefn Druids which has taken our lead to 2 points. We lost in the League Cup first round to Newtown as we had to play a youth side due to internationals. Champions League Blackburn (H): Blackburn were on a run of 3 defeats and we took full advantage, dominating the game with ease and getting 3 good goals. Vitesse (A): We had an awful start, going 2-0 down in the first 11 minutes. Morgan got one back for us before half time but we weren't able to grab a 2nd despite having some good chances. Vitesse (H): We made amends in this one, controlling the game and getting 2 goals shortly after half time. Junior made sure of the result with a 3rd goal in injury time. AIK (H): As convincing a win as you'll ever see. We had 35 shots and 70% posession, Morgan and Watts got themselves 2 goals each, Junior the other. This practically guarantees progression as we beat Vitesse on GD in the head to head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
