Barnsley Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I wish i could tell my keeper to stand in the middle of the net on freekicks. honestly the amount of freekicks i concede a season is crazy, you can just tell every time its a goal and the keeper is just nowhere near it. I dont want my keeper on the opposite side of the net i want him in the middle! Couple of games in hand on above, but we have collapsed the last month. Lost 3 and drawn 1 of my last 4 sees us plummet down the table as we were touching top spot prior to that! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Weed07 Posted December 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2022 Nantwich Town - Season Two 24/25 Conference North Completed my second season with Nantwich and although it wasn't a great season it was less stressful that the first. It was nice going into the season with a full squad with plenty of cover having extended contracts to those who started at the club except one striker that was unhappy that i released plus a full batch of youth players including several that i promoted into the first team squad. We started the season with mostly the same team as the previous year with only a center back from the youth intake in the starting 11 and i thought we were playing well however we drew 7 and lost 1 of our opening games and by October we had only lost 1 game but had drawn 77% of our games so while we had less defeats than the teams at the top we were hovering just above the relegation places and that kind of form continued up to the new year ending December with 6 defeats, 4 wins and 10 draws in the league while in the FA Cup we got to the 2nd round but in each round we drew away from home then needed a home win in the replays to get through until we played League One side Shrewsbury in the second round and drew at home 3-3 having taken the lead 3 times and then lost away 3-0 which was gutting as we would have had an away trip to Middlesbrough in the third round which would have been a nice pay day, unfortunately the cup run to the 2nd round didn't bring that much money. Around the same time as losing in the FA Cup we also lost in the FA Trophy in the 3rd round. In Decemeber we got the youth intake preview and it was all A ratings for every position which was nice: Spoiler As the New Year started we were 8 points behind the playoffs and 7 ahead of relegation, i figured the season could go either way, often in FM the second half can be worse than the first and last season we had a better second half but not this season as our form dropped off and those draws started turning into defeats rather than wins and we found ourselves closer to the drop than anything else but we never looked like being in danger even though we dropped to 20th a few times and got within 3 points of the relegation places i was never worried as we were playing ok and picking up some wins. When we got the you intake we still weren't safe from relegation so i was hoping for a couple of players that might step up into the first team straight away and we got a decent intake with 4 players i felt stood out as potential for the first team: The intake: Spoiler The stand outs to me were: Spoiler MartinSimpson - Rated 4th best for potential by my assistant but has the highest current ability stars and looks like he could be good and already better than my current right back Juan Alvares - We currently play a segundo volante and Juan looks like he can play that role better than anyone else we have, his stats are average but with 7-10s in the right areas for a segundo he would be another one that comes into the first team next season David Ochieng - my coaches say his best role is right wing but i think he could be a good back up striker for us and probably our 3rd or 4th choice next season Tom Wynne - look like he could be a good centre back for us, 6ft 5in with decent jumping and heading and looks to be the quickest centre back we have as all others are slow Overall the intake looks good for us, we had 1 player that had 2.5 star potential and looked rubbish so i didn't give them a contract but the rest were 4 to 5 star potential. After the youth players came in we had 4 games left to play in the league and while those games were mixed we secured survival with 2 games left to play and ended the season in 17th place which i was happy with, as we ended up 13 points ahead of the relegation places. So a minor improvement on last season gaining 3 places but the best thing was we integrated a few of last seasons youth players into the first team squad, we started with only 1 and ended with 3 regulars. The centre back that started the first game played most games and was nominated for player of the year, we brought in a striker and changed formation to 2 up front and he scored 25 goals with 20 in the league, a right winger found a place in the squad getting 3 goals and 9 assists in 27 games, while there were also 4 others getting some game time. Here are the best of our season 1 youth intake that ended as first team players: Spoiler My best 11 for the season including the 3 season 1 youth players: Spoiler I gained 2 more qualifcations during the season so now have my contintental C badge and i managed my 100th game during the season, here are my stats for 100 games: Spoiler Heres the league table and position graph: Spoiler My board rejected all asks to improve facilities, junior coaching and youth recruitment so no improvements there and actually we show as having worse junior coaching, not sure why but at the start they showed as adequate junior coaching but now shows as fairly basic, having looked back as the original save when i started using my current skin it shows as adequate but rated 5/20 and it still shows as 5/20 but as fairly basic which is correct so it must have been showing the incorrect wording previously so thankfully they haven't got worse, they just don't look as good as i thought they were.

I'm hoping to integrate a few more youth players into the first 11 and with a bit of luck we might be able to push for mid table if we can turn some draws into wins. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OlivierL Posted December 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Season Preview | Competitions | Honours HLN : Only four other teams outside Dinamo became champion in Croatia. Hajduk (7), Osijek (1), Rijeka (1) and bankrupt Zagreb (1). We were very close despite it being only our second season at the highest level. In the end, Dinamo proved too strong after all, and only logical too at this stage of the save. Supersport Hrvatski Kup: We managed to reach our first final but lost against Osijek. I don't want to look for excuses but the fact that I had to miss my best striker Vlašić YT in the final because he was already away for U20 croatia matches is unbelievable. U19: Our U19 finished 3rd in the Hrvatska Juniorska Liga. First XI| Overall Best XI| Transfers| Youth Intake 2026 A very good season with once again Vlašić YT as our star player. Our board almost sold him but i was able to use the extend option so the deal collapsed. Čopec YT had a really good first season as our main AMR with 15 assists. There are four or five very good youth players ready to move on to the senior squad, but hardly anyone is leaving the senior squad so I am going to have to do some good puzzling. Right after the end of the first season we had our first player poached by Dinamo. Prša YT was our second goalkeeper but he came in the squad after our first goalkeeper got injured. He had a very good first (half) season. Adžić 24F is our first real academy player that is getting minutes and scoring goals. Finances & Upgrades Profile Club | Finances | Facilities | Club Vision | Supporters Profile | Affiliated Clubs Financed aren't that good anymore because of our rising player and staf wages. We qualified for Europe so i hope this will boost our finances. We received this message right at the start of the third season. After two seasons of this kind of messages, something changed. He had plans of building a new stadium.. After the takeover we were allowed to upgrade something. Nation Watch Youth rating improved with '1'. Objectives Spoiler Objectives that i want to achieve during this save, not everything is realistic. i also have a small objective list as future Croatian manager. Next Season it will be difficult to repeat this season but I hope to integrate some very talented youngsters and compete for european football again.

The Chairman Plays Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) South Shields FC Season 1 (2023-24) Hello guys! I'm new with this save and doing it on youtube also. (if you like more info go check out the vids > https://youtube.com/thechairmanplays )Also notable thing is that i'm not native english speaker so bare with me coz i'm going to make a lot grammar mistakes So we started our journey with South Shields at Vanarama National North unluckily I forgot to take picture our season preview but I think we were one of the relegation canditates and that was expected due our (simulated year) promotion. In this 1st year we didn't have any expectation other than get to that youth intake and get more players to our team. I did set up two tactics South Shields 1.0 and South Shields 2.0 I'm not really good at tactics so I tend to copy others and tweak them to my own Spoiler We were in my terms of decent in the 1st season. I don't think we did play really good football but the games did go our way at the end and that did mean something special to happen at the end of the season! In cups we didn't managed to go far but yet managed to get in FA Cup proper which was board objective for this year. We had chance to go in the 2nd round but Bromley won the replay. Next year we need the money and hopefully we can go 2nd or 3rd round of that competition. Spoiler So at the end we didn't lose any games at the end of the season and we did go to the playoffs. Semi Finals we did face King's Lynn Town team that beat us in the season. It was really special day and we did show how much high morale mean in this game! Spoiler So we are one game away from promotion to Vanarama National League in our 1st season. Magnificent! And in Final we will face yet another team who beat us in regular season! Southport! And I have only one thing to say High Morale! Team played perfectly and we managed to grap 1st promotion of the save! Spoiler At the end League Table look like this: Spoiler So we managed to get promoted to Vanarama National League but youth is in the key point of this save. So let's focus little bit on that! Spoiler You can se on the spoilers that we had really good intake in this year and sign most of the players. James Wood, Frankie Hawke and Priestley Brooking seems to be most exciting prospects! Spoiler Also I got good news! Won manager of the year and got my first licence on the books! Spoiler Some records also was broken this season. Keallan Humes youth player who came through intake in the simulated season scored in Playoff Final and became our youngest goalscorer. Also James Wood became youngest ever player in Vanarama National North. Spoiler So this was unexpected promotion and I think we have good chance to survive in Vanarama National and of course we gonna rely on our youth more and more next year but also try to keep our older players to the team. Next years target is of course avoid relegation. Edited December 18, 2022 by The Chairman Plays 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did have the consolation of winning the Belgian Cup again. We also faired well in Europe as we managed to make it to the Quarter-Finals of the Champion's League. Encouraging times as this has been our best European campaign to date. Some fantastic stats from the squad as our first choice striker managed 58 goals from 57 appearances. Our youth intake was pretty mediocre except for a few recruits. Transfers Not much transfer revenue but exciting news in that the stadium is being expanded to 31k seats.

Popular Post janvanbulck Posted December 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2022 Season 2 @ Frome Town.... In my previous post I said we would use the playoff final as a platform for this season. Well .. In a way it did & in other ways it didn't. First of all : a few young guns got and took their chances (Michael Bangura, to name just one) => which is always a good one AND we reached the Final of the Southern League Cup But , history repeated itself , and maybe, I should keep in mind for next season We lost the final, mainly, because 3 of the more experienced players were suspended and although we won 2-5 in the last competition game ... we didn't manage to get a place in the playoffs. *** On to season three : it needs to happen now hahhaha*** Cheers 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickyg80 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hi All, I came across this thread recently and was really eager to try this challenge, And oh my word it has been an unbelievable challenge, I holidayed for a year and ended up choosing GUISELEY as my club from the promoted clubs, What I didn't notice was that this team had a very limited squad to start with, and only 2 center backs, One of witch was taken on a free to a diffrent club 1/2 way through the season, So ended up with one center back, good old luke dean vetran Midfield has been filling in as a right back center back all season, even though his not happy about it. I'm coming to the end of my first season now with 3 games to go, We are currently sitting in 20th place 2 points ahead of AFC Telford who are in the relgation zone, After a good run of a few wins. We just had a youth intake that was classed as a golden generation, With 2-3 good squad fillers in their but surprise surprise no stand out center back, We did get a 3 star potential center back who is 6ft 6 but I don't hold out much hope, And my current star center back is refusing to extend his contract along with a few other star players, So I fear if we survive this season we won't survive the next. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JLAB Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 Motor Lublin - Season 7 - Preview Coming into the new season as defending champions that are expected to finish in 13th place. Which is probably the lowest a defending champion has ever been. We've also managed to convince the board to work on the youth facilities to upgrade them beyond good facilities for the first time. It gives me reason to believe that a club's reputation and the board's desire to focus on the development on young players could be the reason for why it takes as long as it does for the board to allow us to improve our youth facilities. I will wait and see for the future to see if my theory has anything to back it up or not. Our best player is Mariusz Dąbrowski, he got 18th place in the NXGN award last season and has had some big sides already enquiring about his services and making bids. I fear that this will be his last season at the club. Robert Kowalski is our 2nd best player at the club now and has been ever consistent with his goals in the last 2 seasons. He got 36th place in the NXGN award last season, and I hope that he can continue being impressive once again. The 3rd best player is Marcel Złomańczuk, who for the longest time was the best player at the club. It says a lot that he's being surpassed by his younger colleagues, but having better training facilities and playing at the highest level of Polish football has meant that was always likely to be the case.

Popular Post CardiffDragon Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) HO HO HOpe you have your seatbelts fastened because this season was a wild ride. The major difference was the fact that by winning the Europa Conference last year we qualified directly into the group stages of the Europa Cup which meant that we didnt have to go through the qualifying rounds in the middle of the season so we could play and rest our best players as needed through the course of the season and what a difference that made... Spoiler What a season, some of our players were outstanding into the rookies of the year...first time i have seen that and it was built on our defence, again never had this before so many player in the season best 11 We wont mention the cup as we were so tired at the "start" of the season on our third season with no break before preseason that half our players needed to be rested at that stage. We have lost three of our academy starters this year, the first on a minimum clause and the other two because they threw a right strop when i initially stopped them, at least i have a 50% sell on clause for both of them Youth intake I think it shows in the amazing intakes we have had for the last two years that we are seen a reduction in the amount of elites this year but the onces that have come through show a LOT of promise Europe Straight into the group stages and this was some tough games ahead Spoiler A very good start, i am holding my own far better than i thought i would and what about that Valancia score, away from home as well So this is where we are now hopefully we can get straight through to the top 16 but if not then at least it is champions league next year Last thoughts we have maxed out Youth recruitment and junior training and are slowly improving the other facilities but this was a surprise at the end of the season Spoiler so lets see how this progresses also as timeline highlights go....not a bad season Spoiler Edited December 19, 2022 by CardiffDragon 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WhiteCat33 Posted December 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) A.S.

In what is probably our biggest 2-leg win to date we knocked out Galatasaray winning both legs outright! However, our inability to beat playable teams got us when KRC Genk did the same to us in the Round of 16. It didn't help both our Playmaker and Star Striker were out injured. Overall a fantastic performance for the club generating plenty of funds and experience, but we are still not competitive with any top clubs. Spoiler Cup First time in a long time we just failed at the cup being knocked out very early in the 4th round. Luckily the Board and supporters have no interest in this domestic competition we've already won 7 times so it saved us some late season congestion. Spoiler League We did the three-peat solidifying our place as the new dominant LUX club - even with all the money flowing around these days. Swift were no slouch just dropped more points than us. After us two with the 90 GD you can see a 2nd tier forming of the clubs in the other Continental spots + Differdange. Spoiler Transfer: I must have jynxed myself as the board were no help keeping hold of our star young playmaker. 10 or so clubs were bidding for him and once Bordeux decided they had to have him there was nothing I could do as they just kept uping the offer each time I used our strategies to counter. I persuaded the board to back off and I used the contract extension trick, but they just kept bidding. I wish there was some 'cooldown' to this so if you 'win' by countering a board sale you at least get a transfer window before he can be stolen from you. In the end the deal wasn't really awful at 7.25M over 2 years and a 40% sell-on, but he would have been great to keep. Spoiler Youth Academy: Youth Intake Preview Slightly better, but still light for a Golden Gen. Spoiler Youth Intake Bad personalities strike again with the better players in this fairly light intake. Does have a few potential squad players though, so not a total loss. Spoiler Best Prospects Spoiler Best chance of success is Rafael Neves, who is the only non-unambitous Elite or Top Talent, I expect his potential to get upgraded after a few weeks training with us. Another I expect to get a potential bump is Antonio Lopes who is Professional As well as Serge Da Silva who is a Professional 6’5” Forward. Poached We've now had a player poached to each playable league, though this guy seems like he won't be missed. Also the Belgian player has shown up, he's bad. Spoiler Best XI Spoiler Youth Products Highlights Next Season I'll write up here, but for the table the (+#) indicates players who either were Poached from us or have gained CAPs after being transfered away from us Youth Coaches Dusseldorf raided my U21 team for all my German coaches so I'm forced to replace them. With our reputation now and lack of money concerns I'll be looking to spread to retired internationals from non-playable nations with ideal personalities. Should help cut-down on the churn of coaches, which is anoying. I'll be giving this Ghanaian international and Arsenal Academy graduate a go. Will be interested to see how he develops. In just 2 years Geideck gained 1.5* reputation and a good number of coaching badges, so I have high hopes. Also my HOYD gained +.5 Reputation and +1 JPP, so it gives him a little longer in the job. My goal is to wait till I can get a 3* Reputation HOYD with an ideal personality before I sack him as he's on paper a reasonably good HOYD who has a low probability of being poached away form us. Spoiler Club Infrastructure By the end of the summer we maxed out our training facilities to State-of-the-Art & finished yet another Youth Facility upgrade to Great. Here is where I expect the upgrade option to disappear until we can get the Club Reputation to 3* Continental. Basically, we need to make it into the Champions League as we've failed to do so thus far. We also began a second stadium expansion this summer which will double the seated capacity bringing the total capacity up to ~13k, which will be the highest in the country when you include tier-standing room. Spoiler Luxembourg If you notice in the league table our and Swift's success in Europe has increased LUX's stature to the point where we get TWO Champions League qualification berths which is huge! I have a feeling at some point Swift will take the title back from us and then we will still have a reasonable path to get into at least the Europa league to continue growing the club. With this year's performance the BGL Ligue is up to 24th position and we hit 63. Swift are still higher ranked in continental points, but we're listed first when you view Luxembourg clubs by reputation! Also TV Deal is up to $5.2M now a year, how high can it go!?! Spoiler Head Coach We hit 900 matches in this very long save. Seasons don't drag on though as I can sim over half the league fixtures against the bad teams, with actual challenges still domestically there's a lot more to do in Luxembourg! Spoiler Thoughts We've now got maxed Training Facilities with some of the best coaches I can find so hopefully this will be enough to develop my 2-4 decent prospects a year and get us our first taste of Champions League Football. The increasing difficulty domestically is a good thing as it lets my younger rotation players get quality game experience without needing to do too many loans.

gb2003 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Karşıyaka SK Season 5 - 2027/28| TFF 1.Lig - 14th (Media:18th) | Cup - 5th Round What a finish. I won my last game to avoid the relegation because the teams behind me also won their last game. With a defeat I would play next year 3rd league. Struggled a lot with the tactis. Old tactic, new tactic, brand new tactic. Nothing works over the entire season. At the end Mehmet Kalkan injured for 3 months so I was in big trouble. He had a very good season but leaves me at the end of the season to Trabzonspor. I managed to get 120k and a percent of the next sale even his contract ended in summer. He was such a good player and scored so many goals (125 goals in 123 games). But some good news: My left back Görkem Iyik (Crazy mental stats for a 18 year old) & and my center back Murat Tükenmez signed new deals without a release clause! The youth intake wasn't good this year but I got a good amount of good fullbacks in my squad and Goalies. I have every year 1 or 2 good goalkeepers in my youth intake. I don't know which one I should play because they are all still so young and still need time to develop.

Daddy Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 6 hours ago, WhiteCat33 said: Luxembourg If you notice in the league table our and Swift's success in Europe has increased LUX's stature to the point where we get TWO Champions League qualification berths which is huge! I have a feeling at some point Swift will take the title back from us and then we will still have a reasonable path to get into at least the Europa league to continue growing the club. With this year's performance the BGL Ligue is up to 24th position and we hit 63. Swift are still higher ranked in continental points, but we're listed first when you view Luxembourg clubs by reputation! Also TV Deal is up to $5.2M now a year, how high can it go!?! I'm really fascinated by this. I didn't know TV money moved like that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our participation in Europe also impacted the league performances this season, I think. Just to add to this, I don't really like the new format of the European competitions! Other than that we need to push for Europe again next season. The board has started work on expanding the stadium again, but it will take some time, I think. Current affiliates: Berchem Sport is a team I've played with in Belgium. Chester is just for domestic loans, not a fun one. Viktoria Köln is a nice German team with lots of newgens from different nations Oriental Dragon is a Portuguese team that has Chinese newgens! SKV Syrien Wien is an Austrian team with Syrian newgens! Zhejiang is out financial affiliate Will expand this list whenever the board allows it! Community Shield: In our first ever Community Shield, we beat Liverpool after a close and tough match.FA Cup: We beat Stockport County, Derby County, Nottingham Forest, Hull City, and Norwich to reach the final. There we held Liverpool to extra time, but eventually lost. League Cup: We beat Bristol City before we lost to Man Utd in the 4th round. Europa League; We went straight into the massive group stage, and as I said, I really don't like the new format... At any rate, we finished 5th and qualified for the knockout rounds. There we beat Espanyol of Spain and Lyon of France before we got knocked out by eventual winners, Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in the semi final after a horrible away leg. U21 Team: They finished 3rd the U21 Premier Division 2 this season and qualified for the playoff. There they lost to Stoke in the semi final.

Winski Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 1. FC Lokomotive LeipzigSeason review Season 3 | 2025/2026 That was again a good season for us. More points than last season, but a lower place in the league. I'm still very happy about this season, as we are now definitely good enough for the 2. Bundesliga. Topscorer was, again, Djamal Ziane. This guy is scoring goals for fun really. With 23 league goals he also became topscorer of the league. And he's 34 already, so this was probably his last season as our main striker. Some other good players this season were Julian Weigel, Luca Sirch, Osman Atilgan and Bogdan Rangelov. I also played a lot with Academy players this season. Prince Ondon 23d, Wenzel Watkowiak 24b, Karl-Heinz Peitz 25b, Marco Däbritz 24e, Nicholas Morgan 23e and Yaak Lul 23c got the most playing time. Some of them are developing really well. In the Cup we lost in the Secound Round against Wolfsburg. Youth intake The preview was very, very promising. But the intake itself was a bit underwhelming, to be honest. I expected more from this, after such a preview. Only 2 Elite Talents. Spoiler So yeah, things are going very good at the moment. The club is growing, our players are getting better and better. But it feels like i'm a bit 'Germany-tired'. I really love this club and the progress of the save. But I'm not sure if I'll continue it right now, because I want something different then Germany. I'll take a short break from this save, and I'll come back for sure. But I don't know when. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post libbyshuss Posted December 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2022 Season Summary Our best season yet! 7th place finish gets us into the Conference League for next season! Which, given the amount of youth prospects I have now, is gonna be a godsend. Only bad part of the season was the Sicilian derby, which we somehow managed to lose 6-0 to Palermo. They also knocked us out the cup as well! They finsihed 19th and got relegated so we got the last laugh! Players Good solid squad full of decent Serie A players now. None of them are superstars though, or even close to stars. Our best player, Fabio Frau 38C, is still only valued at 9m. He might be a Golden boy winner but I have a feelnig he won't be with us in a couple of seasons time. Youth This new HoYD I have is insane Jack! Not content with supplying us with 9 elite talents last season, he's gone and upped it to 11 this time around. Again, a mix of personalities and nobody stands out as a future star but I really can't complain. 20 elite talents in two seasons at this stage is unreal! I also managed to get another couple of affiliate sides as well. Serbia and Portugal this time, so hopefully we'll see a wide range of nationalities start popping through For the second season in a row the U18s made us proud Career 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV money went up to 10m in my Andorra save and was a pain as all the other clubs went pro and started spending while I was still stuck with my rubbish intakes. I think you're right as there probably isn't a soft cap for editor files, but those that are licenced might have some cap. In Wales TV money is only about 100k after about the same length of time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine how much of a nightmare 10M is, half that is turning this into a very difficult save. The big reason being the registration rules are so lax in luxembourg. Sure you can only have 9 foreign players, but French & Portuguese players count as domestic. And no surprise its easy to find cheap ones that are better than Luxembourgish players. If only the board would readjust their expectations to reflect the money... Edited December 20, 2022 by WhiteCat33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cultured Left Foot Posted December 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2022 if you'd like to follow this in more detail, its also a YouTube series over on my channel - http://www.youtube.com/c/culturedleftfoot END OF SEASON SIX REVIEW Our first season in the National League ended in safety, which I was delighted about. We did it before the end of season, but it was certainly tough to stay up. Next season is hopefully a season of consolidation in the National League and then we can push from there. We managed to improve year on year again, and this is all very positive signs. I like where this club is moving and heading towards. We move got the clubs highest ever finish position in their history! We managed to get O'Keefe down to a relatively long term contract and got an optional extension in there for a further 2 years. O'Keefe has been superb and was our top scorer again even though we stepped up a division. And he wasn't just our top scorer, he was the top scorer in his first season in the league!! The Youth Preview was decent, and gave us a very good prediction. However, its generally because our squad is still so weak. However, the season wasn't all sun, rainbows and fun.... The players paid the fans back for an away trip that was dreadfully poor... And a massive injury for Lewis Salt derailed our season somewhat - he has been superb for us in central midfield and so was a big loss. But we did see our rise in our average attendance for the season! And set a new record for the youngest player ever! We go on to Season 7 for our second season in the Vanarama National League. Wish us luck! 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
