Just getting chippenham seems to be about half the challenge! @jsar - I was hoping you'd get lucky lol. 3 days of nada for me, herefod is just ruining it! took a bit of a reloading break on sunday to try and get a bit of gameplay in.

BigVanVader Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 AFC Hornchurch - Vanarama Conference South - 2015/16 - 6th League table - We narrowly missed out on the playoffs thanks to the very consistent towards the end Sutton United. We had a great run going and were sitting in 5th going into our last 5-6 games with one point separating us and Sutton United in 6th but inform striker Javlon Campbell got injured and our form wasn't good enough to stop them leapfrogging us to that last playoff spot in the final stretch. Oxford City were immense all season long and beat us both home and away. Squad - The standout players were goal and assist machine George Purcell and top scorer Javlon Campbell. Transfers Finances English Under 18s Group 8 Champions! - That was a nice little consolation after narrowly missing out on the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigVanVader Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 @Quavis I had nothing to do with it really, but I couldn't help notice every time the youth match report popped up that they kept on winning. They had two half decent 16 year old strikers who weren't good enough for the first team yet so I threw them in there rather than the U-21 team. Both strikers ended up with a ratio of a goal every game in the U-18s and one of them became my first choice striker in the first team for a short while before his form dipped.

HesBiggerThanMeAndYou Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well, my Rushall save has come to an end and 1 hell of an eye-opener for me. Ive played CM/FM for 20 years and Ive never really had any problems turning small clubs into CL winners. When I say small clubs, League 1 is the lowest I go except 1 save where I took Southport to glory. I honestly thought I would rock up, struggle through the first season or 2 and then take off. How silly that idea looks now. Just got relegated end of the 3rd season. Found it impossible to break the cycle of recruiting a load of players, most are potential that never get fulfilled and the ones that do impress dont want to stay. Ive just reloaded the 'Holiday Man' and appointed myself at Hereford and its a world apart, their wage bill is about 30x what Rushall's was, and I was told that my wage budget at Rushall was very good. It kind of feels like cheating to start over with Hereford but I honestly don't think Ive the knowledge or experience for Rushall. Anyway, new challenge.

Mooping Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Mooping's Dulwich Hamlet 2017/18 So near yet so far... Season in review: What a disappointment that was. We had a great 3/4's of a season and were leading the league with 10 games to go. Having lost only 5 of our first 36 league games we went on an unbelievably bad run, losing 7 of our last 10 (winning 2 and 1 draw) to finish in 3rd place, some 14 points off the champions Oxford City. But never mind, at least we had the play-offs to tackle. After winning the semi-final 3-2 on aggregate over Torquay, we came up against Accrington in the final, and this happened... a gut wrenching 5-4 loss in extra time after we had a 4-2 lead going into the 85th minute. We even missed a penalty too. A horrible end to what had been a hugely promising season. Squad League Table Competitions Transfers - More frees and some loans Finances - Reaching the play-off final pumped almost £500k into the club so the finances are looking a lot better now. Hopefully there will be a bit of money to spend this summer.

Wlv Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I don't know whether I should laugh or cry. I fined one of my players 2 weeks wages for not turning up to training and my entire squad is kicking off..nearly all of them are unhappy! This could be an interesting (in a good way) feature. Note that 2 games prior to this screenshot, all of the teams morale was abysmal & very poor. Luckily I drew and won the last two matches and hence the morale is starting to repair!

darren1983 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hampton & Richmond - Conference South - Season 2015/16 First season at this level and as always the target was to shift deadwood and stay up League Table - Just about stayed up, wasn't pretty at times, we were safe with 2 games to go which was lucky as we lost them 4-0 and 6-1 FA Cup - out at the first hurdle FA Trophy - Got to the first round and lost Squad - Too many players I couldn't shift while under contract, will have a HUGE clear out this summer Transfers - some good, some not so good Finances - only went over my wage budget towards the end of the season due to a couple of new deals so this loss is very worrying Key Players Charlie Moone - easily our best player, 26 goals and the only player to even reach double figures, need to find a partner for him next season Mickey Dimitriou - CB, started well but form faded badly Michael Bryan - Right wing, 7 goals and 10 assists Ryan Wilson - 17 year old played more then I had planned Jorell Johnson - young CB that I hope will improve after a rough first season 2015/16 Conference South 19th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The season has started good so far. I'm in 8th place after 17 games and way above the expectations. The most surprising player so far have been a young talent already at the club when I took over. Terry Reed has been great for us and hopefully he will continue improving. We also have a great left winger who are currently our top scorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_D_K Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm adding a another series of saves to my earlier batch (post #7) with a 2-year holiday run. With Hereford/Dorchester dominating the Premier South (and FC United running a close 3rd) it's near impossible to get some of the other teams out of that division. A 2 year holiday save at least clears out Dorchester/Hereford and allows for some other teams from the south to move into contention for promotion. (For those wondering, I have 36 saves posted from a 1-year holiday. Hereford is promoted in 34 of them, Dorchester in 19 of them. FC United is promoted in 20 of them. That leaves little room for any other team from the South to be promoted! Hopefully, this will make a larger number of teams playable (I have 33 distinct teams posted...hoping to get at least 50 of them!) (as noted in the saves post, I'm deliberately excluding teams not listed in post 1 -- these are teams relegated from N/S in year one, or promoted from below the regional premier divisions in year one..so some of the saves will have fewer than 6 teams posted).
