Tikka Mezzala Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Checking in with Clapton Community FC in the Middlesex County League Premier Division. Just offered trials to like 100 players to have a look at their attributes before deciding which ones will be a part of our assault on the league. Gonna try and find some quick attackers and aerially dominant defenders for a basic 4-4-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schume Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Go on then, thought I'd give the challenge a go see how I fare with a proper challenge. Started the game and applied for the club from home Crewe FC, had a couple of offers from Worcester City and Wigan Athletic (which was a bit unexpected) but they ain't level 11 so turned them down. Crewe FC interviewed and offered me the job it's only 5 minute jog into work, leaving Nantwich Town needing a new Club Secretary!!!

Tikka Mezzala Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Just played my first competitive match. I was away at NW London in the Middlesex County Premier Division. I scored in the 2nd minute and then got someone sent off on 8 minutes. Despite going down to 10 men I was creating more and better chances. But the longer the game went on the more NW London grew into it and the final 10 minutes were spent heading everything that came near the box clear. Managed to hold on for a well-earned 3 points and a welcome clean sheet. Happy days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzR Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi, First of all, I think this challenge is amazing and seeing you guys sharing infos about your journey is fantastic. I don't want to go off topic but I couldn't help notice that some of you have finished a season in 1 or 2 days .. how do you manage to do that ? When I play It takes me 2-3 weeks (!) for a season. I am genuinely curious as I think I am doing something wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
