Currently in my second season and there is a 50/50 chance of relegation, if we stay up, I will post the first two seasons of my adventure.

Mr_Tans Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Gosport Borough Football Club | 2021/22 Season | National League |13th Season Preview | League Table | Squad | Competition Review | Finances | Transfers | Facilities A fairly uneventful first season in the National League, which is exactly what we wanted! The start of the season promised a lot more truth be told as we hit the dizzying heights of 6th in matchday 9, but an almighty mid season slump saw us as low as 21st in January. Dropping into the relegation zone gave the team the kick up the backside they needed as we won 5 out of the next 6 and were never in any danger afer that. Cup runs were unspectacular as we lost our first game in the FA Trophy for a second year running and were outclassed by Peterborough in the first round of the FA Cup. Our final goals total of 70 for and 70 against is sympamatic of where our strengths and weaknesses are. The defence and goalkeeper are pretty poor, but our strong frontline ensured we scored enough goals to make up for that more often than not. Not being able to hold onto leads costs us many times throghout the season, at one point we went back to back losing games 3-2 after being 2-0 up. Matthew Paterson again led the way and was our top scorer with 15 goals. He's 32 now however so we really need someone to come through the youth setup to take his place eventually. Hayden Atkinson YP21a did cement his place as first choice right back which was also a positive, with Walker YP21c and Cook YP21d also having fringe roles during the season. The board did agree to upgrade our youth level and will upgrade the youth facilities due to be completed in September, however recruitment and coaching remains unchanged. Speaking of youths, our latest intake was truly depressing. Not one player who looks like they'll be good enough to even break through at this level. I tagged Danny Hayden 22a who may challenge for an AMC position at some point in the future, and signed a few others to bulk out the squad but other than that so bad. Without anyone decent coming through we'll just be looking for more of the same next season. Hopefully one or two more of the youths will cement their places in the squad, and fingers crossed for a better intake next year!

fish18ish Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 @Makoto Nakamura Have you considered that having your GK on set pieces may be contributing to your high number of goals against? Or maybe the benifits outweigh the losses because I guess he's putting a fair few away too. @Padders Mad to see you could potentially have got over 50,000 seater while still being in the championship.

BcfcMez Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Could not build a decent attachment to redditch, managed to get half way through the season sitting bottom of the league so I called it a day. Decided to head abroad to France. I have took over CS Sedan Ardennes who have had torrid times of late, they were in Ligue up until 2003, then struggled after relegation until they suffered back to back relegations in 2013/2014. They already have good youth facilities so it feels like thats a bit of a head start for a decent foundation for this challenge and a rebuild in general. Manager profile and club history attached. I have also attached an image of a transfer I am unable to cancel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrToDaRy282 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Flandria season 2021-2022 Review League - Fixtures - Transfers - squad - Signed Youth Intake So, where do I start? The League: We finished again in a playoff spot. Our draw was very lucky. We met all the team we beat before in the league. We went straight to the final and there we were favorites as well! We won in a very close game the final with a penalty, converted by my goalie Lungarzo who has 14 on penalty taking (go go @Jimbokav1971! ) So we are going up to the Superliga! Now we can start really the developing! I'm going to focus more on training now. The youth intake was bad and good at the same time. We got 4 useable players, but the intake was widely of poor quality. I only signed a couple more but my prognosis for this bunch is bad. We can't all have a wonderkid every year can we? Bit of luck is needed too. Facilities: Youth & Training facilities are upgraded. I immediatly asked for another and that's coming too. So we're doing great! Next year goals: survival. That's it.

Padders Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Had to make a really big decision with my goalkeeper Getting loads of bids and accepted one for £48m He was 27 (not overly old for a keeper) but the other reason was I had a young 19yr old (Mark Williams) keeper in the U23s who looks great potentially Huge risk.

Mr_Tans Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 What’s the consensus when it comes to personality vs attributes on staff members? I’ve currently got a model citizen HOYD but he has poor attributes apart from his determination and working with youngsters. Same really for my coaches as well who have good personalities but not much else going for them. I figure at this level (non-league) going for personalities makes more sense as I can’t really hire anyone with good stats anyway, but if I progress further how much would you go out of your way to sacrifice stats for personality?

_JHTB_ Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Oborishte Panagyurishte 2030/2031 Parva League 1st – Championship Group 1st Fixtures (1) -- Fixtures (2) -- Fixtures (3) -- Transfer -- Key Player -- Hot Prospect -- Squad -- Finances League: [Prelim] The preliminary phase of the league went really quite well, we maintained a pretty solid defensive base but managed to add a few more goals allowing us to top the preliminary phase with only one loss to our name, though writing this before starting the Championship Group I think we’re playing terribly so can see us dropping off. [Champ] We continued playing pretty awfully going into the first few games in the championship group with us actually dropping down to 3rd after a loss to Botev Plovdiv. Thankfully that seemed to kick us into gear where we started looking more like our former selves even in games in which we drew which lead us to a final day showdown against Levski Sofia in a winner take all clash which we won to claim our first league win. Europe: We entered Europe at Champions League Qualification rounds which lead us to the Europa League Group Stage. Our group was actually fairly tight with only one game in which we were outclassed, in fact we were only needed a win in our last game to progress to the knockout rounds. Instead we dropped to the Europa Conference league navigating one knockout round fixture before bowing out to FC Kobenhavn in a tie we probably edged. Cup: To help ease our fixture congestion this year was the first year where I rotated a lot for the cup games. We didn’t do awfully in spite of this making it yet again to the Quarter Finals. The game is apparently not doing end of season awards this season so I’ll do my picks for once Martin Rusev 6a: I’m going to give Rusev 6a the PoTY award, he consistently provides so much for the team, another season of double figures in goals scored is very good from the wing. I am trying to retrain him as an attacking midfielder just to add versatility and so that he can still play if we do change formation from wingers. Georgi Angelov 8d: Angelov 8d is a player who’s forced his way into the side in the last year or so usurping Genchev 2d from his spot as the playmaker in midfield. A very solid season for the youngster and still has room to improve in the future. Ivaylo Aleksiev 8h: Aleksiev 8h had the unenviable task to replace the outgoing Alex Peshov 7b and really he performed very well for us. Technically he is lacking a little but he is strong physically and not awful in terms of his mental attributes. Youth Intake A pretty decent intake with three players that look like really good prospects, though unfortunately not really in the areas that we need the most. Iliya Tsvetanov 11a: This is a very exciting prospect based upon his initial attributes looking very well rounded, like all attacking midfielders that come through my intake I feel like he’ll be retrained, probably as a striker as he looks like he could develop into a decent one. Konstantin Ivaylov 11b: A decent looking centre back prospect though I do feel he is some way from first team football needing a decent amount of development. Georgi Trifonov 11c: Goalkeeper is a position where we have quite a few prospects so Trifonov joins the line of prospects, he looks not bad but mental attributes along with one on ones are a little bit of an issue alongside his poor personality. News/Looking Ahead We sold our best player in the summer for £5.25 million rising to £8 million with 50% of next sale in what was a calculated sale. The money, alongside European competitions money was used to get Training and Youth Facilities upgraded and another stadium expansion. We also managed to get a few prospects out on loan to the second tier this season which is good for the long term development of our squad. NB I do worry with us seemingly not having player awards and such that the facilities upgrades won't properly tick over so may not get upgraded until next summer which is a frustration I am thinking of changing the formation which is a bit of a gamble considering our overachievements in the two years that I’ve used it but I feel it can be patchy as certain areas are weak in depth. In spite us winning the league I don’t think we’re really at a level where that should be expected of us, instead I’m hoping we can challenge for a European spot again next season.
