yeah happens to me all the time. Can't turn them around

People always say its because I holiday inbetween games but what do people do inbetween games that makes that much of a difference?

I praise and criticize training, I praise good performances after the games.

I have always left training to Assist Man

If you get them when you don't holiday it can sometimes happen with young teams.

ACN Siena 1904 Season 2026/27 Review

 image.png.8b53b438e6a7003642f184655e64d31d.png

It's been a while since the last update and in my defence I had another save I was really enjoying, however I am back on the bandwagon even though my team is frustrating the hell out of me. We hit a really bad run of form toward the end of the year, but some good form in the beginning helped see us through over the magic number of 40 points. 

We went full youth this year and let a few prominent members of past squads go and a few retired and as such this is the first year we see the Key Players include intake players. Also found a gem in the reserves I had neglected as his early potential wasn't great but he had filled out playing for the U20s and is now one of my best central midfielders

Financially the team is in real trouble, not quite sure where we are haemorrhaging money but the board has had to inject cash into the coffers twice this season and we still have a negative balance

My reputation is improving and as such I was offered 3 roles again this season two in England and 1 in Italy. I also had my 3rd member of staff poached for a Management position, which I personally love, I love seeing my coaching tree go on to further success I then replace them and hope to restart the cycle (NFL Coaching mindset)

FK Baník Sokolov - Youth intake 2024

Looks promising, but Haiti? That's random...

Ah, a really good intake and the Haitian fellow is very good, but he is outshined by a Czech defender.

This kid is going to be tossed straight into the first team!

I have no idea what a Haitian are doing in Czechia, but I'll take it! This seems like the new ambassadors son! ;)

Haiti is the standout, but we also got an Englishman as well as a few Slovakians and another Montenegrin.

We've made it out of our UCL group for the first time.  I just hope we don't get embarrassed by Real Madrid tbh - it feels great to have just made it through the group.

FK Baník Sokolov - Youth intake 2025

Another Brazilian goalkeeper.... from the same city as Laninho 22b, his brother?

A very good intake with 3 standout players and some other talents as well.

He is the splitting image of the Laninho 22b! The information does not imply they are brothers, but come on, they are!

RTD8MdN.png

A really good striker. Great finishing, movement and physicals. I think I'll have great use for him!

H9LpXoh.png

A very good defender, even is he is not as tall as I usually like. but his mental attributes are amazing for his age.

Quite a diverse intake, but the only new country is Norway.

Look at how similar they are (stat wise, not appearance, I think their dad got around!).

Both are two footed and quite similar in attributes, though Aírton 25f are a bit better in most.

Nope, seems a bit strange that I had two goalkeepers with the same nationality from the same city in Brazil, but I guess it's just random. They are still brothers in my mind though!

FK Baník Sokolov - Czechia - Season 2024/25 Review

Table | Squad | Transfers | Finances

Well, we survived again, and got into that strange playoff thingy. The season started quite poor though as we lost Laninho 22b to Burnley, and that made an impact on the players and I had to qualm some players who felt the squad was quite thin. We did pick up some points after a while though, and soon we were out of the relegation battle. Then we hang around mid-table for the rest of the season and finished there as well. A few points more than last season, scored a few more goals and conceded a bit less. So overall a small improvement this season, and that's all I can ask for at the moment. We have started to struggle with the finances though, so I hope we can bring in more attendances and sell more merchandise in the future.

In the MOL Cup we beat Meteor and Hradec Králové before losing to Bohemians Praha in the 4th round.

Taken me nearly 2 weeks to complete this season which is a long time even fore me! Not been sleeping much so have had no energy to sit and play really, but have finally finished it.

Season 2025/26 Review Vanarama National league

League - feels funny to say all things considered but I feel slightly disappointed with this season. We obviously did much better than last season but we should probably have won the title. We started the season OK but then grew into it, in December we clicked and started a run of 3 months of great form. With 11 games to go we beat Gateshead to go top in a great run which included a 4-0 away win at then league leaders Northampton. We then fell apart. We lost the next 3 games then drew 6 of the next 7 (winning the other) going into the last game I just played a youth team as we were going to finish 6th at worst and 5th at best. Took the time to rest my entire starting 11 after a lot of games. We lost which meant Chesterfield won the league. I basically wrote the playoffs off with our form but against Woking we found our form again and raced into an early 2 goal lead. I shut us down 2nd half and bored everyone but saved our legs for the semi final. York had done the double over us in the league as I struggled with their 433 (3 strikers) formation, this game was no different as they took the lead but a penalty and a mistake from their goalscorer allowed us a quick fire double to turn it around and make the final against a Northampton side we took 4 points from. A tight game with neither die able to find a breakthrough in extra time we seamed to find an extra gear and 3 2nd half goals saw us win and seal promotion to the football league! 

FA CupA little run here, competed with and beat Colchester before a narrow loss against Tranmere (both league 2 sides) to give me a little hope for next season

FA Trophy -  Basically used this to give young players a runout, they did OK

TransfersOnly lost 1 player this year, for no money.

SquadStarting to really take shape now, we often now start games with an entire home grown back 4 and often with 6 or 7 academy players. Couple weak spots though in DM, need another CM, RW and our main striker is now 31 with no one looking like taking his spot right now

Financesstill looking good even with a board takeover

Youth Intake - Pretty good one again with 4 tagged

Nick McGowen 26A - when first saw him I though he was a CB not LB now think he could be a DM for us. Unsure really but need to make a choice soon
Glyn Owen-Littlemore 26B - Could be a good plan B option as a striker when chasing a game
Graeme Cooper 26C - we don't play with a number 10 so will have to work out a role for him but looks decent
Ashley Morgan 26D - a good option at CM with just some solid looking attributes in the right areas

Next Season

Staying up really. That's it. I think it's going to be really tough, I really don't think we've even got a starting 11 good enough for league 2 let alone a squad but we'll see. We're going to turn professional which is great news as I can now train players all weak and finally get my training stuff in order and also train my youth players in the way I want too. The first obstacle for this (getting out of non league and turning pro) is done and in a quicker time than usual for me.

Season Review 2092/93

Promoted back to PL first time of asking with 98 points and 128 goals

Luca Crepaldi (got to love the name haven't you!!) with 53 goals and also a wonderkid

Ray Simms pitched in with 39 goals

Went last 16 games unbeaten (10 out of the first 11 won) but rather frustratingly drew 3 out of the last 4 games to stop me getting over 100 points (not the first time this game has done that!)

Youth Intake was poor, this is the second intake with the new HOYD as my old one retired (had been with me for 20+ years)

Table | Squad | Finances | Transfers

Pretty solid season really, ending up just outside the play offs. Swapped the regular losing streak with a draw streak instead, drawing six matches in a row in February/March. Got into the first round of the FA cup again, losing 4-1 to L1 Gillingham away. Defensively solid, conceding just 40 goals in 46 matches, but not the most prolific goalscorers. Highlight of the season: beating fellow welsh team Wrexham 2-1 at home.

Team performances fairly solid. Tyler Williams 27c my pick of the bunch for the season. Not really much finishing abilities among my strikers, but they seem to do alright anyway. Only got one player left from my original squad, but need to keep Joel Harvey in the squad for now, until someone really steps up.

Youth preview | Youth intake

The preview promised a goalkeeper, the intake didn't provide one. At least I couldn't see the potential there. Two 2,5* CA players there, so maybe it wasn't too bad an intake. Sean Shepherd 33a and Ip Wai Kit 33B (best name so far) signed up immediately. The pace on Ip is blistering, the rest of his attributes shambolic, but hoping he'll outrun anything in the league.

Finances are still in the plus, but not getting anywhere with the board regarding improved recruitment or facilities. Attendances are still slowly rising.

Had a great first season in Norway. We took the second place on the last day of the competition because Fredrikstad lost their game. The first round of the play offs were pretty easy, but the final was a thriller. We won the 1st leg 1-0. In the second leg we went 1-0 down and hit the woodwork 5 times. Luckily we won the penalty shootout to get promoted. The youth intake before the season was pretty much useless except for some good personalities. The youth intake before the upcoming season was a little better with a central defender and a midfielder who might feature in the first time some day. I hired a HOYD before the season and his personality affected the intake positively. After the promotion the board agreed to improve both Youth Recruitment and Youth Coaching, let's hope this improves the future intakes.

What's crazier than a promotion after 2 seasons? 

Back to back promotions!

We were extremely leaky at the back, conceding the 2nd most in the league (56) but we also scored 74 goals, 18 more than the next best. So if we can maintain that ratio we'll be fine. But I'm sure we're going to get smoked. The main benefit will be turning pro (I think) and the healthy prizemoney that will boost our junior coaching and youth recruitment. But apart from that, I think this promotion was too quick. I guess we'll see!

A very good intake, with two players slotting straight into our first XI and another 2 earning a bench spot. Next season should be interesting, as it will be our first intake as a professional club.

The best XI graphic did all sorts of weird things, leaving out our best performing player and top scorer Husic. He had 25 goals and 8 assists with an average rating of 7.26, yet doesn't get a mention? Ridiculous. It's all very confusing. But our defence is our strong point by far, and the reason why we're getting promoted I think.

Has anyone managed to ever get Velez C.F. promoted in Spain for this challenge? Or does anyone have any knowledge of upploaded databses where they may have been promoted? I've been reloading for most fo the last 24 hours to try and get them up in to the reorganised Spanish system and they never seem to get promoted. Does anyone have any knowledge as to why they won't have been coming up?

End of Season Review

Season 2040/41

SV Babberich

SV Babberich - Wikipedia

League Table - Eight points clear at one stage, we were reeled in and were top on goal difference going into the final day.  A nail biting draw at MVV Maastricht proved to be not enough as we dropped to third and missed out on promotion.

League Fixtures 1 & 2 - An excellent first half of the campaign was followed by a very poor second half.

TOTO KNVB Beker - Very poor as we lost in the second qualifying round, at home to MVV Maastricht, despite dominating the game.

Pre Season Friendlies - A dreadful pre season, with just one victory in our nine games.

Squad - We continue to grow in strength, though we do lack a quality striker.

Squad Dynamics - Very good as usual.

Transfers In - None.

Transfers Out - Five departures, all for transfer fees and all have sell on clauses.  Jeffrey Pluim YP37E245 was sold for a club record fee.

Youth Candidates - A much better intake than the preview suggested we would get with Ivanildo Fer YP41B306 being the best of the group.

Finances - Despite selling clauses totalling £1.3m, we are still heavily in the red.

Key Players

Angelo Richard YP27C83 - No longer our best defender, he is still performing way above his level.

Ashar van Kessel YP32C163 - His best season to date.  The left winger was brilliant.

Philipp Bonmann YP32B162 - Playing on the right wing, he compliments van Kessel so well.

Ebbe Loermans YP36J234 - The central midfielder had a great campaign.

Eric de Vries YP37F246 - The left back is the best player at the club.

Next Season

Promotion.  Do we have enough to get us over the line?  A lot will depend on the chairman and if he sells the best players.

I'm losing the Haitian superstar! But I get to keep him for another year, and I get silly money (and 50% of next sale!)!

To be fair, he is way too good for this club already, so I expected him to want to move soon. And his contract isn't that much longer, really. So I might keep him a year of so longer, maximum.

Wow 7.25M this early in the challenge can be game changing, definitely worth losing him I would think

Yeah, I'm actually surprised the board didn't intervene, especially since we are just in the red financially. So I hope I can get some improvements done when I get that money in a years time. :)

After all could be better but its not the worst! Random half Algerian and some defensive players but with low ability quality

Combination of effort and luck, I guess. And to be fair, I don't think the Haitian is worth £11m, really. I mean, I could be wrong, but I don't see him as a wonderkid, even if he was way above our standard. I mean, his physicals are quite lacking, and though some can be worked on, I don't think he'll be world beater. I think his caps for Haiti is what pushes his world reputation enough for Chelsea to bid as much. And as a side note, no other teams bid for him.

Combination of effort and luck, I guess. And to be fair, I don't think the Haitian is worth £11m, really. I mean, I could be wrong, but I don't see him as a wonderkid, even if he was way above our standard. I mean, his physicals are quite lacking, and though some can be worked on, I don't think he'll be world beater. I think his caps for Haiti is what pushes his world reputation enough for Chelsea to bid as much. And as a side note, no other teams bid for him.

For now I cant get more then 200k soo you know :D

So season 4 is in the bag and although we were not good there is light at the end of this, the 1A and 1B have both progressed into good centrebacks, and this years class includes a striker that I think could be very very good for this level if we can keep him for a few years. On top of this everyone is a year older, and getting closer to filling some potential. We were truly dreadful this season, saved by the fact we had 8 0-0 draws, but Holis was our top scorer again with 7!. Survival is all I needed, to keep building this team up step by step. There are only 2 of the original 11 left in the team on a weekly basis, which means everyone else is 15-18. Due to our poor youth recruitment and poor facilities it was always going to be a uphill battle to get them to the right level. Vitek 1B was so far behind 1A Valach as the start but due to his 18 determination has become a very good centre back for us, he has 2 years left and won't resign due to being better than us, which give me 2 seasons to try and kick on and get up the table. I expect year 5 to be tough still after which our 5 year bottom of the table sponsorship ends and we can get some more money, plus in year 6 the first 2 classes will be 21-22 and coming into much more consistency hopefully close to some potential.

We took Continental B this year and are now studying for A - we have a very high discipline stat, which has meant 2 of the class have been released, even though they had potential due to slack, unambitious I could not get them to improve and do not have the mentors to change them. 

Agreed to play youth again and got a second upgrade in recruitment

We also had our first international call up for the Poland under 19's, he played 9 times for them over the season and came back worn out, which meant we had to really limit his game time with us

We had our first 'golden generation', which is due to most of the old guys retiring, but surprisingly this was a good intake. For some reason we got 2 Ghanaian lads from the same town and a Gibraltaran striker who I think looks like he could develop into a very tidy poacher for us with his determination, lets hope my Assman is right and he has room to grow, a lot of my youngsters have a low ceiling. I have no staff with any links to these countries so have no clue where they came from, but I'm sure Gibraltar wont be complaining if he starts banging in the goals, they have watched him play 3 times already. 3 Pros and 1 Fairly Pro is not a bad return from my Model Pro HOYD, i'm really happy with it and expect most of them will see game time next year. Rajnock whilst a good pro will be 4th choice behind Vitek and Valach, but gives us and option if I can't convince Vitek to stay .

Now I am 4 seasons in and bedded in some players, this is my starting 11 most weeks, they are still no where near good enough but we are getting closer each season that passes, we usually play 4-1-2-2-1 or a 4-4-2 narrow diamond.

Season 5 beckons and another dog fight, I really hope with 2 recruitment upgrades in the last 2 years, we can find 1 or 2 players who can make this team a little bit better and that Ross Bird can improve just a little bit and who knows maybe 14th wont be ours for once!

Season Summary 2026 - 2027

 

After three straight seasons finishing 15th we managed to secure 13th place this season. On paper that is progress, but it didn't really feel like it. Most of the games are absolutely awful to watch, and it looks more like ping-pong than proper football. Defensively we are absolutely awful and I am struggling to identify the solutions. The good thing is that we were tipped for relegation, so in that sense we are overachieving. 

Our finances are really bad. We had a board takeover last year and they have now started to reduce the wage budget so I cant afford to offer new contracts. So yeah, things are going really bad.

I think I am going to try somewhere new.  @XaWhas me interested in the Czech Republic though there are plenty of places I haven't managed in before.

Czechia is quite fun, and the end of season madness is quite fun. So you have an outside shot at a European spot as long as you finish 8th to 10th! And the season is not very long either. Though the summer vacation last season was a massive 2 days! ;)

FK Baník Sokolov - Youth intake 2026

Looks promising with a striker and a midfielder as the most stand out ones.

A decent intake, although the personalities are not very good. I have a Model Citizen HoYD, so quite disappointed on that account. Still some decent talent, mind.

No the highest rated by the staff, but I think he could be a good playmaker, even if he is quite slow.

A couple of new countries. DR Congo, Austria and Serbia are all ticked off the list.
