The White Rose Journeyman. I take me sen around England's biggest county.

Yorkshire. The biggest of the 39 historical counties of England. It is also probably the most proud. I have only been living here since last year but the locals quickly accepted me as one of them and I already love the way of life up here.

I have after some debate downloaded FM24 and decided that my save will be a journeyman with one simple rule : I can only manage clubs located in historical Yorkshire. That still gives me quite a few!

I used the 'pick a team for me' button until a Yorkshire club came up. I will be starting at Barnsley. This happens to also be the closest playable team to my real location. I wouldn't even need to move house!

A very solid start to the season, although we were shockingly poor against Bristol Rovers, only scoring through a fluke of an own goal.

We are among the early leaders, but it's very early doors.

I was quite busy in the transfer market. It is the first time ever in all my years of playing FM that I have signed multiple goalkeepers, but the squad lacked any depth in that department. I also didn't think I was still going to sign players that are older than me, but Lonners is the ideal backup option.

The money for the transfers came in part from clubs coming in and buying two of my better players. Both of them started to get upset when I refused initial offers, so I had little choice but to let them leave.

We continue to play well, even if it's not the most enjoyable football to watch. Against Fleetwood for example we had only 35% possession.

Still a couple of bad results would be enough to allow the rest to catch us up. League One is in my opinion one of the most ruthless in terms of competition.
