[FM17] The Fabulous Baker Boys: Bohemian(s1905) like you.

 

 

So, several seasons ago a Czech club with a Kangaroo on their badge caught my attention. Bohemians 1905, a club whose glory days died in the late 80’s and with the split of Czechoslovakia found themselves bouncing between the first and second tiers of Czech Republic football. While no official links exist between the clubs the more left leaning fans for which Bohemians 1905 are known have friendly ties with Bohemian FC of Dublin and the crazy gang at St. Pauli.

The Club’s most famous player is Antonin Panenka, yes, that one. Wikipedia says he’s still chairman at the club but the game doesn’t mention him (nor does he seem to be listed in the club legends, icons or favoured personnel), nor does it mention our nickname of Klokani which I believe is Czech for Kangaroos. Club ‘Highlights’ include winning the Czechoslovak First Division in the 82/83 season, UEFA cup semi-finalists in the same season and runners up in the Mitropa cup in 1987.

Anyway, back to the Kangaroo. So, the club toured Australia in 1927 and at the end of their tour they were gifted two Kangaroos that were then donated to Prague Zoo (because what does a football club do with two Kangaroos?). As I don’t think they’ll be heading back to Australia anytime soon, Australia is going to go to them.

 

Ďolíček Stadium

Our home ground, A 5000 seater stadium that could use some TLC

 

I don't really have any goals other than the usual win everything. I will be trying as much as possible to use youth and improve both the league and the country's standing in world football. The only thing I'd like from this save is a son that'll hopefully choose Australia over the Czech Republic but I won't be too fussy in that regard.

 

 

These are the leagues I'm running

Good luck! They seem like a club well deserving of bringing back into the limelight.

[ChrisGers]

Attended a Bohemians match a few years ago, if they haven't improved since then you're in for a hell of a challenge.

[ManUtd1]

Should be a great club to work with, aiming for world conquest.  Best of luck!

Yeah, the squad isn't looking so great. There's going to need to be a lot of wheeling and dealing to get this squad up to something that can challenge the big boys of the Czech Republic. My best players seem to be the wrong side of 30 and there doesn't look to be a lot of talent coming through.

At the Halfway point in the season we find ourselves bettering our preseason expectations of attempting to avoid relegation by sitting in first on goal difference from Sparta Prague. With that being said, I was disappointed with a couple of results. First the 2-2 draw with Jablonec, last at the time we played them, giving them their first points of the season and kickstarting their campaign. A nil all draw with Slovaco who were also last at the time we played them and the 1-0 loss to Teplice where we missed an early penalty, played them off the pitch only to concede late. Highlights though include a 4-0 thumping of last season’s champions, Viktoria Plzen, and scratchy 2-0 win over Slavia Prague and a convincing 3-0 win over Sparta Prague

We haven’t had any real challenges in the Czech Cup playing all lower division sides. Bettering our preseason expectations, now find ourselves in the Quarter Final to be played in April.

Transfers:

In: Daniel Dydowicz CZE (AMC); Jhon Valoy COL (DM); Feiz Shamsin LEB (AMR) All free

Out: Matus Mikus (ST) £375K Al-Ettifaq

I’m disappointed to lose Mikus, He seemed to be hitting career best form with 5 goals in 9 games but apparently, he wanted to go due to league reputation and standard of living in Saudi Arabia? This also had a knock on effect with players stating they were upset at a lack of depth and so I need to make some signings or I face a rather upset squad.

I must say, these guys can certainly put the ball away from well outside the box. Quite a few goals coming from 25-30 meters’ out.

[Jolanthustrel]

2016/17 Season end

 

Well that was squeaky bum time. Sparta Prague pushed us every step of the way after the mid-season break with the title not being decided until the final match of the season. We had a chance to open a gap on them late in the season but a run of three draws starting with one against Sparta themselves made sure we had to fight every step of the way.

Highlights after the break include a 5-2 win over Pribram with Lebanese winger, Feiz Shamsin, recording the only hat-trick of the season and 1 of only 5 times we had an individual score multiple goals in a match. The other highlight was a 4-2 revenge win over Teplice.

Despite being the second for goals scored in the league, we didn’t have a goal scorer hit double figures. On Loan striker, Zdenek Linhart, was our leading striker with nine followed by Feiz Shamsin with seven though we did lose two strikers in Matus Mikus, five goals, (transfer) and Jan Holenda, eight goals, (loan finished) before the break.

Czech Cup

 

We didn’t have it all our own way in the Second half of the Czech Cup, needind a penalty shootout win over Slavia Prague and a come from behind win over second division side Opava before we could lift the cup.

 

Youth Candidates

 

My two best youth candidates. Had a bit of a hairy moment when I almost forgot to sign them. Not sure what happened there but next season I’ll make sure that contract gets presented before I leave the intake screen. I’m really excited over Jaroslav Slama, I have to give him some game time next year, too bad I don’t have anything like the Icelandic upper league cup to get him started in.

 

Goals for next season.

More goals: I want a striker that will get me 15 goals across all competitions next season.

Strengthen Squad: I’m going to need to strengthen my squad, too many injuries last season hampered our momentum in the back half of the season

[argento]

Couple of decent prospects there.

 

My flat mate from uni was a bit obsessed with this lot after he attended a game while on holiday, will be reading this.  Good luck restoring this lot to their former glory.  Hope to see plenty of chipped penalties in honour of the chairman!

[ChrisGers]

Any team would be happy with only losing a single game never mind Bohemians.

Excellent work.

Yeah, Tomas Cerny has already gotten an assist in his first game and Jaroslav Slama has been playing in the second division on loan and it playing well. He'll probably come back to a first team spot in the second half of the season.

Would be nice if I could get him to come down to the training ground and show my penalty takers how its done.

 

I was looking at buying a shirt but they only deliver in the Czech Republic.

Thanks! I'm ecstatic with that, I thought we'd hit a wobbly patch and we'd slide down the table but we rode our luck well. 

Strengthening the squad in the off season was a bit of a task. No champions league money yet so trying to sign interested free transfers that weren't garbage. Plus our captain retired with a week's notice, though to be fair he was 36.

Champions League Champions Qual 3 Leg 1

 

GNK Dinamo 1-4 Bohemians 1905

Bohemians turn up the heat on Dinamo in Zagreb

 

Bohemians got their Champions League campaign off to a flier with a dismantling of GNK Dinamo on a sweltering Wednesday night in the Croatian capital. Jiri Jeslinek opened the scoring inside 90 seconds slotting home from the left wing into the bottom right corner. Dinamo levelled the scored in the 25^th minute with Hilal Soudani tapping home a cross beating debutant keeper at the near post. Dinamo made things difficult for themselves when Josip Radovic picked up two yellow cards in 5 minutes receiving his marching orders just after the half hour mark.

 

The night only went downhill from there for the Croatian Champions as Zdenek Linhart, who signed on a free transfer after last season’s loan at the club, put Bohemians back in the lead from the middle of the 18yd box. Serbian midfielder, Andrija Lukovic, added Bohemians third for the evening finishing off some silky passing moves with a blistering shot from 20yds out 10 minutes into the second half. A second Dinamo player, Petar Stojanovic, was marched on the hour mark after receiving his second yellow in 5 minutes reducing the Croatians down to 9. Bohemians finished the rout with Dionatan Teixeira flicking a header inside the near post from a corner on 76 minutes.

 

Goals: Jiri Jeslinek (2), Zdenek Linhart (37), Andrija Lukovic (56), Dionatan Teixeira (76)

Newly promoted Viktoria Zizkov found a formidable opponent in Bohemians hot off their Champions League victory. Milan Jirasek opened proceedings prodding home a goal mouth scramble after a Thomas Berger free kick into the centre of the box. Zdenek Linhart doubled the lead just before halftime with a thumping shot from the edge of the 18yd box. Linhart then closed out the match in stoppage time racing onto a Jhon Valoy through ball to coolly slot home.

Champions League Champions Qual 3 Leg 2

Bohemians 1905 (7)3-3(4) GNK Dinamo

Late goals salvage Draw for Dinamo

 

On a warm wet evening in Prague, Bohemians 1905 did what they had to do to get to the next round of the Champions League Qualifying stages. Jiri Jeslinek once again opened the scoring in the second minute, this time converting from the penalty spot after some jersey tugging in the box from the Croatians. Just after the half hour mark, towering Serbian defender Zoran Gajic tucked home a flick on from his central defensive partner to double the lead and extend the aggregate lead to 6-1.

 

Ten minutes into the second half, Bohemians failed to deal with the cross from the right wing and Armin Hodzic pulled one back for Dinamo beating the keeper at the near post. The scores stayed like that until a frenetic final ten minutes saw Serbian midfielder, Andrija Lukovic, power home a shot from the edge of the D and recreate the two goal buffer. Filip Benkovic found himself in open space and fired straight at the keeper who fumbled into the back of the net. A minute later Hodzic added his second to the tally leveling

Slavia Prague 0-1 Bohemians 1905

Bohemians Smash and grab in Eden

 

A warm evening in Prague saw Bohemians seal a win from their more fancied neighbours. The only goal of the match came from Lebanese winger, Feiz Shamsin, calmly finishing a blitzkrieg counterattack just after the half hour mark. Bohemians withstood a battering as Slavia hit 31 shots on goal with 10 on target but the defence held firm to steal all three points.

Bohemians batter Sigma for small win

 

In a complete turnaround of stats from the Slavia Prague game, Bohmenians absolutely battered the Sigma Olomouc defence for little reward. It took a late strike from Italian striker, Luca Scapuzzi, taping a cross into the bottom left corner three minutes from time. Only his third league goal in 93 league games.

Dull Draw sets up tough game in Prague

Slovacko 2-1 Bohemians 1905

Hi Flying Slovacko end Bohemians undefeated streak.

 

Bohemians failed to make the best of their chances as a confident Slovacko came from behind to win. Feiz Shamsin opened the scoring for Bohemians just before the hour mark running onto a Peirce Waring cross and beating the keeper at the near post. Slovacko hit back 5 minutes later in identical fashion and with 15 minutes left took the lead after stupid tackle on the edge of the area gave away a penalty.

An early goal to Feiz Shamsin was all that separated Bohemians and the Scottish giants across two legs for a change to play in the Champions League Group Stage. Craig Gordon kept Celtic in the game but a lack of lethal shooting from both sides meant scoring was limited.

Bohemians bounce back to top of the League

 

A rotated squad saw Bohemians retake top spot with a regulation win over Brno. Zoran Gajic opened the scoring close to the half hour mark knocking in a flick on from debutant Tomas Cerny. Bohemians possession kept pressure on Brno culminating in an own goal just after the hour. The hosts chances weren’t helped by their wild shooting that rarely troubled the Bohemians keeper.

Champions League Group H

Bohemians 1905 3-0 Galatasaray

Eden no paradise for Turkish Champions

 

Bohemians got their Group stage off to an emphatic start with a convincing 3-0 win over Galatasaray. An uneventful first half gave way to a blistering second as attacking midfielder, Daniel Dydowicz, finished off a silky passing display from the six-yard box five minutes after the restart. Milan Jirasek doubled the lead five minutes later after a one-two with Jiri Jeslinek saw him slot home inside the near post.

Galatasaray’s efforts to mount a comeback were delt a blow on the hour mark as left back, Juankar, was given marching orders for a second bookable offence. Ten minutes from time provider of the first two goals turned goal scorer himself, prodding home a Shamsin cross from inside the six-yard box.

Midseason wrap up to come.

[Jolanthustrel]

 

Transfers in:

 

Signed on a Bosman for £53K compensation, Karel Hrubes has been used in rotation with last season’s free transfer Julio Iricibar. Solid if not spectacular, will likely be only a short-term solution if we’re to make regular progression in Europe.

 

Last season’s on loan striker picked up on a free after his contract wasn’t renewed. Currently equal leading goal scorer in the Czech first division and two goals away from breaking the club’s record for most league goals in a season. Again, not a long-term solution and will probably find his way down the pecking order as soon as I can find a better striker that wants to play for us.

 

Formerly on the books at Man City and Stoke and signed on a free, The Slovakian\Brazilian defender has formed a tight partnership with Serbian Zoran Gajic. Will be serviceable for a couple of seasons.

 

Released by Melbourne Victory, This Australian Midfielder is probably more pet project though he does have potential. I need to give him more game time or maybe a loan spell to get him that game time to see him reach his potential.

 

Also released by Melbourne Victory, was signed to be a backup to Linhart. Doesn’t look to have much of a future here though as we try to progress.

 

Once on the books at Espanyol and Bilbao this free transfer was signed on deadline day. Unfortunately that meant he was not able to play Group Stage Champions League for us. Definitely one of the better players in the squad and should be around for a few seasons to come.

 

Another free deadline day signing forcing Feiz Shamsin out of the right-wing spot. Played a handful of games so far and looks to be settling in well.

 

Final deadline day signing and a ‘big money’ signing for us. Signed for £180K from Serie C he has enough about him to stay with the squad until the days we start to sign absolute superstars. Has settled into central midfield and will look to make it his own in the second half of the season.

 

Czech First Division

This is an impressive start to the season. Handling Champions League and regular league hasn’t seen a form drop off as we’ve only dropped seven points before the break. I am a bit worried about the depth of some positions meaning tired legs at the back of the season but with the winter transfer window coming up I’ll hopefully be able to convince the board to part with some of the Champions League money to strengthen the squad.

 

Champions League

After a squeaky bum time against Celtic that saw us through to the group stage I must say we gave a very good account of ourselves winning two of our home games and drawing one away. A 5-0 loss against Barcelona or more accurately a 5-0 loss against Luis Suarez was probably the only disappointment as far as the group stage went. I was fully resigned when I saw Galatasaray went 1-0 up against Sporting and we’d gone 2-1 down to Suarez to a Europa cup spot but I didn’t notice Sporting play spoil sport and register their only win finishing 3-1 meaning we held onto second thanks to our away goal in Istanbul. We scrapped through to the first-round knockout stage. Let’s face it, looking at the teams available, we were eyed up like a small fish in a big pond.

 

 

We got Bayern, at least we won’t have to go far to be brutalised.

 

Czech FA Cup

The less said about this the better, after casually brushing aside lower league side, Admira Prague, we tripped over our own feet against Dukla Prague and our cup defence was over before Christmas. We were expected to reach the Quarter Finals, hopefully over achieving in the Champions League can placate that anger some.

Yes, So much money. Hopefully I can afford to buy players instead of free transfers now. 

[Jolanthustrel]

Gah! So many of the signings I've tried to make don't want to come because of facilities (understandable, so they are being upgraded) and because of the standard of living. Surely Prague isn't that bad a city to live in?

While last season we were pushed all the way by Sparta Prague, it was Slavia Prague that pushed us this season. While the table will show us as clear 8 point leaders we’d slipped to second on goal difference with three games to go after a mini slump that saw us pick up 1 point from 9. Let’s just say it was brown trousers time. Fortunately for us Slavia played Viktoria Plzen and Sparta Prague who couldn’t knock them out of second but were looking to cement their places in Europe.

Even though we lost 2 more games than we did last season and conceded 3 more goals, we won 4 more games and scored 9 more goals. We had the second leading goal scorer in the competition and I thought he was rather inconsistent with his form. We scored 62 goals in the league, Zdenek Linhart scored 14 of them no one else scored more than 5 league goals. It is possibly the lone striker formation but Linhart didn’t play all games either. I do need to look for a second goal scorer.

 

 

 

Champions League

After scraping through the group stage in to the first knockout round. Bayern looked us up and down and we found ourselves out of our depth. 2 late firls half goals put Bayern up 3-0 going into the break and it was just a mountain too far. We pulled one back but were well and truly outclassed and put out of our misery with a 2-0 loss in Munich and 5-1 over all on aggregate.

 

Czech FA Cup.

 

We lost to Dukla Prague in the 4^th round when we were expected to make the Quarter Final. Our only consolation is that Dukla went on to win the competition, so at least we were knocked out by the champions.

 

Facilities

After 1447 seats were added at the start of this season, another 1742 seats are being added this season bringing us up to 8189 capacity. Training and Youth Facilities are also being upgraded.

 

Youth Intake

 

Milan Marek, A defensive midfielder who has been labelled a once in a general product only problem is I don’t use defensive midfielders. He is competent in both central defence and central midfield so I may train him to one of those positions.

 

Milan Prochazka, an attacking midfielder with plenty of flair who is also competent at striker, though with his finishing I hope I won’t be relying on his shooting. AMC is probably one of our stronger positions so maybe some intensive Striker training might be handy.

 

Ondrej Jakubov, a central defender and the third of my high potential youth products. Probably a fair way from first team football just yet, but we’ll see.

Season 2018/19

 

Starting the new season with some rankings increases in both the Czech Republic and Europe.

 

 

Transfers

 

A lot of youth that will either stay and help us build and either be sold on for a lot of money.

10 games in and we sit second to Viktoria Plzen, still plenty of time to overtake them. Disappointed in those early season draws but at least we got points from them.

 

Champions League Group D

Bohemians 1905 2-0 Man City

Eden no paradise for City

 

 

 

Well, this is a much better second placing. If we’d held on to the draw against Dortmund we’d be 3 points clear at the top. Now I need to make sure we're competitive away from home against Dortmund and Citeh and beat Shakhtar at Eden.

[deltablue]

Great Man City win. I hope that helps you through. 

[Jolanthustrel]

Thanks @deltablue It was good football that won the game not just sit back and counter attack, though I did pull back a bit after our second. I also won that game while playing on the train so I got a few stares when I celebrated that victory.

We would have had to have lost and Dortmund pick up points against City to miss out on going through to the first-round knockout stage. Not sure how I feel about this as I think we could go deep into Europa with a favourable draw. All this does is ex

Going into the midseason break with an 8-point turnaround. I honestly didn’t expect Plzen to drop the ball that badly. We need to make the most of this gap, I don’t want to be fighting at the end of the season with tired players.

 

Looks like we got Juventus, I’m not too disappointed, we could have gotten Bayern, Real Madrid, or PSG, I really wanted Benfica or Napoli though. Hopefully we aren’t pillaged too badly when the transfer window opens. The big fish took notice of our performances and have come circling.

[Jolanthustrel]

So at the start of the season I had these three players come in. Total cost £3,975,000

7 months later same three players leave. Total sale value £8,200,000

Minimum release clauses… I’d tried to negotiate leaving at the end of the season, only for other clubs to come in and just hit the release clause and no negotiation possible. I’m no longer as optimistic as I once was for our match up against the old lady.
