Your doing good work more points than games played is the goal when trying to survive a relegation BATTLE. 34 points in 28 matches isn't bad at all.

If you were on 56 points I think you would be talking promotion......and the title race.

It goes back to my rules of thumb: that 2 points per match will win you the League or Promotion most seasons. 2 more points than matches usually makes you safe from relegation most seasons.

We are not doing too badly really. A little inconsistent, and we are really having some fatigue issues coming through now after a brutal last few months in the schedule.

We have some players like Pepe, Alexandrou, Docherty, and Kirkpatrick who are only playing every second game at the moment, but also not a bad thing as it is giving me a chance to get some senior game time for some of the younger kids, and seeing what they are made of.

It was a pretty decent month results wise, winning 3 of 5 Leagues games, and advancing in the Trophy.

The number of goals conceded continues to be a concern.

The Analyst echoes the concerning number of goals conceded stats.

With 9 games to play we sit mid table, which is a pretty impressive result for a team in our first year in the National League.

Looking at the teams around us, we have scored a lot more goals, but also conceded a lot more.

The xG table suggest we should nearly be pushing for a play off spot, being 2 points behind expected, while our conceded is right, we score a lot more than expected though.

It feels a bit like the IoM save, where we are all over the place defensively in the first season after promotion. Hopefully we can pull it together and get more consistent.

The Cup run has been great, although looking at our opponents in the Trophy, we have had a dream draw, and a lot of the bigger clubs have fallen over early this season.

MAR 2030 - Youth Intake

The first class of the new decade arrives, with the preview offering a decent intake, what arrived shows plenty of potential to be excited about.

While the star rating system always seems pretty useless, it does give us 10 potential 5* players, along with another couple of decent looking prospects.

While the attribute averages look like a mixed bag, there is a 50 point player in there, although his potential is not as high as some of the others.

It will be very interesting to see how these develop over the coming seasons.

Plenty of dual citizens again, but we also welcome our first from Canada and Romania.

The vast majority are still homegrown talents though.

The Best 5

Spoiler

A really exciting prospect in defence, Kelly already has a lot of decent attributes, with plenty of room for growth.

After struggling in the early seasons for goalkeepers, the Academy produces it's third exciting keeper in a row, with a 199cm Belgian monster, who looks like a very exciting prospect.

We then have two more very solid looking defenders, so if we can get some of these guys to potential, we have a very solid looking back line in a few years time.

Another Belgian to round out the top 5 with an exciting central midfielder. With some work to do to get him to potential, he is another great prospect coming down the line.

Overall, enough to be excited about, as the future continues to look good, with a lot of highly rated prospects coming out of the Academy.

Now to see if we can get them to their potential.
