Britrock Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 @Lower Leagues Rule sadly the Coupe de France rules mean the lower division team plays at home and there are no replays or even extra time, straight to penalties if its a draw - although I fully expect to get smashed! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britrock Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Well, that was a hell of a game. We took the lead just before half time but couldn't quite hang on to the half, as they equalised in stoppage time. They then took the lead with 12 minutes left but we had a corner in the 90th minute and I quickly jumped into the set piece creator and threw literally everyone forward, including the GK. Somehow they handballed it and we won a penalty, which Doucoure dispatched to take us to penalties! Unfortunately we had a terrible shootout, with 3/4 takers missing and even though Monaco missed a couple in the end they won 3-1 in the shootout.

Or was that unrelated... It was semi-unrelated. Our defender got a foul for a late tackle for someone going 1:1 on the keeper, so he probably saved a goal there. It did put us on our heels even more at that point and we were clearly not able to hold them for long with only 10 men (and they unfortunately found a way through our defence...)

Tyer Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Chojniczanka Chojice Season Review Europe trip #2! Glad we improved from our #4 finish last year because our league rules give the Euro II cup slot to #4 or the FA cup winner (this year someone outside the top 4 won.) (also, head to head is the league table tiebreaker, before goal difference. We lost our last game of the year, but we couldn't have caught Wisla, they had the tiebreaker on us.) Although, 2nd-4th in our league gets the exact same Euro prize. Euro II 2nd round. Have to win the league to have an improved Euro cup run. (A Bilbao ended up making the Euro II Cup final, so that shows how unlucky my draw was) I believe improved Euro runs can improve these spots where maybe we get into better rounds or even the Euro cup Kind of a season where we didn't really get much done, just upgraded youth facilities from basic to below average, we are going to have to make a group stage of a Euro run to make the money to really start and turn this club world class. Unfortunatly, the board will not let me expand my scouting range, so I cannot scout places like Africa/Asia/S America for cheap players I can sell. Slow but sure improvements though. I feel this is going to be a very long term save. Maybe 30+ years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And amazing to get to the Conference League group stages! As for me I decided to stop the Austria Salzburg save, we might have survived relegation, but the gap to the bigger clubs was too big and being semi-pro with a 1.6k stadium didnt bode well for the future. Would recommend Austria though to anyone else, maybe just pick another team or brave it with Austria Salzburg I decided to go closer to home and chose a club in Brazil now, am in a similar relegation battle so will post if I do survive it!

Lower Leagues Rule Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 LLR's Mallorquín Adventure Mid-season Update - January 2024 Fixtures | League | Squad | Transfers | Finances | Dynamics Overview Wow. We started poorly, then picked it up in the middle, we were comfortably on target, then we completely fell apart, playing teams 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the standings in 13 days didn't help. We go into the break in 11th, 4pts from relegation and 4pts from playoffs. It got far worse after we got knocked out of the cup in extra time in a game we should've won. The board called me into a meeting to discuss my future, if I don't gain 9pts in the next 5 games, I am gone. So 3 wins from 5, we face teams in 2nd, 8th, 16th, 7th & 13th. Honestly if I don't get three wins from those (Likely the last 4), I don't deserve the job. Season so far Current Season Team Gms Win Draw Loss GF GA +/- Overall 17 6 4 7 29 28 1 League 16 6 4 6 26 24 2 Cups 1 0 0 1 3 4 -1 Home 7 4 3 0 19 9 10 Away 10 2 1 7 10 19 -9 Neutral 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Segunda División RFEF 16 6 4 6 26 24 2 CFdE 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Copa del Rey 1 0 0 1 3 4 -1 My Favourite Players Alec Mertens (ST) - Been doing awesome upfront, well he was, he had 11 goals in 9 games, only 3 in the next 8, it completely coincides with the fall in fortune of the team. Hopefully the break turns it around and we can move back up. Serigio Moriones (MC) - An excellent midfielder, he does a bit of everything, tackles passes, and quite often under pressure as we play with a lot less midfielders than our opponents to try and put it around the outside instead. Yago Cantero (DC) - Yes the spine of our team is excellent, we do really need some work on the outside, or players to do better. I love this team, but I need some work getting them to function again. Transfers Transfers In Date Player Pos From Fee 08.09.23 Miki Codina DC/DM Free €0 10.09.23 Tito AMR Free €0 25.09.23 Álex Boedo DL Free €0 07.10.23 Luis Chacón AMRLC Free €0 15.10.23 Fran Ortuño DL Free €0 12.11.23 Fran Pacolí DL Free €0 20.11.23 Ander Olaizola AMR AD San Juan €0 26.11.23 Álvaro Jiménez GK Free €0 12.12.23 David Amigo ST Melila €230 18.12.23 Pau Victor AMC Free €0 Most of these players were signed as ones for the future and moved to our B-Team, Miki is with the B team, but also injury cover for the midfield if needed. Chacón or Victor could possibly step it up over the break, it is possible with our back-up Attacking Mid leaving, and Gori being a bit poor that we will need someone to take over and help the attack some more. Pacolí is likely to be our left back after the break, he was signed to do it as both our current ones were so poor that i put Left winger Ramón back there instead just as we turned the corner. Jiménez is signed as our Cup Goalkeeper, will play as the sub this season, and is cover if something happens to Ardura. Amigo & Sancho who we signed in the preseason are both possibilities at the Striker position in the second half. I really need to work on that, Mertens IS the better player, but with a rough spot I need a better replacement. I did discover that sending players to my B-Team means their wages don't hit my wage bill, this seems to be a bit of a bug, and maybe should count, but the wage bill increased when you have a B-Team. So I signed anyone who would agree to a Fringe Player or lower contract at under €500 and had Division 1 potential and sent them to the B Team. My Expectations Get 9+ points over the next 5 games, if I don't I will holiday to July and see if there is a new team to take over in 2023/24.

Tyer Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Chojniczanka Mid Season Update Our Euro II Cup runs ends in the group stage. We got kind of unlucky that Rapid Vienna beat Tottenham so we didn't have a chance going into the last match of the group. (Tottenham smashed us both games, we smashed Ludogorets both games, and Vienna beat us at their place, i played our B team, although maybe pushing for that win could have grabbed us an extra 500k think that was a mistake...I wanted to keep fitness for league once we were eliminated.) Our league run is going very well. This might be the year we win the league. Although we have had some tough long term injuries hit the team recently, lucky to have a winter break, but I think we have cemented ourselves in the top 4 of Poland, and hopefully one year can grab a victory in the league to have a Champions league run, that will really put the team financially stable. (We can only get in that cup by winning the league.) Legia Warsaw had a pretty deep Champions league run this year, so we are in trouble with all the money they are getting, but maybe their run is gassing them.

aldojags Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Season Review 2022/23 League Table | Fixtures 1 & 2 | Manager Profile | Club Vision | Finances | Transfers Fantastic start to my career at Carl Zeiss Jena, as we won the German third tier in my first season. Inconsistent at times as you'll see from my 9 losses, but a bit of tactical tweaking at times (and 2 great signings up front) meant I was always in and around the promotion places, but my run to the end of the season (last 13 games won 11, drew 1, lost 1) saw me sneak into first place on 2nd last day of season, and a win at home on last day meant I was Champions. As you'll see from this - 4 teams in the mix the whole season, I had a few short weeks at the top but I always usually just to stay in play off bits, so to sneak in at the end and win the whole thing was incredible. But I didn't fluke it, I scored more goals, best goal difference, and crucially managed to beat 2 of the other top 4 away from home in 2nd half of season, and it was the games head to head which made the difference given the fine margins. Team I've picked out some of the best performers. Top of the class were my 2 strikers, who kept us in the fight the whole season. Richmond Tachie, and Nick Woltemade (on loan from Werder Bremen - and I have him coming back next season). Played Woltemade as a target forward and he was fantastic, they both were. Some other favourites were Cabrails Makreckis, Latvian winger whose form got him back into his national team set up. Noel Knothe and Oumar Diakite formed a great pairing for us at the back. And lastly but not least, Theodor Bergman who had most assists for us. Immediately told me early season he was not renewing his deal and leaving on a bosman in the summer, I had chances to move him on but it was for relative peanuts (50-80k range) but I took the chance of keeping him thinking he could help me win promotion, which is more valuable than that money! And by looking at his assists, this was the right move. Sad to see him go, think we'll play against him next year, but I'm sure we'll be fine! Got a few players in the team of the year (I also won the Manager of the Year), but strangely despite Tachie being top scorer in league, he doesn't make it into the team of the year! Youth Intake Preview | Intake All German nationals, no 2nd nationalities. Apparently a golden generation, some of them look ok, see how it goes, some of the top prospects - Kowaleski, Schellenberg, Wagner, Schiedler, Balzer. 3 of the best prospects are all DM's, which I don't really use so much (although I maybe will do now I'm in harder league) so not sure what to do with this lot, some of them look ok though. I've read other bits about youth development this year saying unless they are out on loan, they dont develop too well in your youth squads, is this true do you know? Next Season As you would expect with an unexpected promotion, the board just want the battle bravely against relegation. My wage budget has increased from 55k per week, to 85k per week, plus I'm planning on releasing about 10-15k per week, so I'm going have hopefully around half my wage budget unaccounted for, which should mean I can get some decent quality in and keep us up. We've had to move and rent another stadium as the stadium we were renting doesn't meet Bundesliga 2 requirements. I hadn't noticed when picking Jena that they didn't have their own ground, this is an exciting possibility for the future hopefully when I have Bundesliga money, could build our own stadium, but that's many years away.

John Sharp Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Brora Rangers Season 2 | 2023-24 Season Overview We were expected to come bottom half of the table & avoid relegation which was a reasonable expectation. Our early season form was great & had me thinking the game was too easy - we nearly qualified from our Premier Sports Group with 8 points from 4 games including a 5-1 win over Championship side Inverness CT & got 11 points from our 1st 5 games in the league. Reality soon hit though, getting 5 points from our next 8 games & struggling to keep up with the play off positions. I was fearing a relegation battle but our form followed exactly the same pattern as the season before, picking up after a slump & we managed to make it into the playoffs. We were the in form team, winning 7 of the last 8 games. We beat Queens Park in the semi final 4-3 on aggregate, before losing to Championship side Ayr 5-4 on aggregate (1-1 away in the 1st leg & we went 3-0 down in the first 40 mins of the home leg ). Disappointed we didn't go up but I didn't think we'd get so close The squad Continuing on from last season with the gengenpress 4-4-2 diamond formation, our best players were near enough exactly the same as last season. We had a few other ok players but I knew it needed a lot of strengthening. Andrew Macrae, finished as top scorer on 23 goals again. Jadel Musanhu carried on his development into league 1 & last years surprise Charlie Birch not only continued his surprising performances but won League 1 player of the year Again, very few injuries which seems strange - it's quite difficult making it to the playoffs. Near enough the whole season you only have 1 game a week so build a team around that, then you have 5 games in 14 days which takes a huge toll on a part-time team with not much quality in back up positions Finances - same as last season in that we would have been in trouble, if it wasn't for a £170k cash injection by the board Transfers - 1 | 2 - 8 transfers in this season to help us compete (some of the end of last season) My profile Club profile Next Season Win the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's coming down from the Championship? Just need to tighten up a wee bit you score tons of goals so its probably a few tweaks defensively and you'll get there. Next year is the one I can sense it!
