Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 2027/28 Pre-Season Unbeaten, but no wins in pre-season. An entirely new set of cups minus the Jock Mackay Cup and we're predicted miles off the pace! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 September 2027 I have no idea how we've started perfectly, we're heads, shoulders, knees and toes beneath any other team in the league and yet we have five wins from five!!

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 December 2027 Just the one league game and it's another win! Even with signing players at Tongue we spent two seasons in the North Caledonian League and yet with Westside and worse players we're doing better?! Another excellent intake incoming.

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 January 2028 Our first loss in the league but we remain eight clear with just four games remaining, four titles in four years without improving anything is looking very, very likely.

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 February 2028 We lost a league game!!

They didn't make it through the playoffs either so we'll be facing them again next season.

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 2028/29 Pre-Season Three wins, much better than last year! We're an eleven team league this year as Balloan got promoted from the Highland Amateur League and Clachnacuddin got relegated from the Highland League, this could be a tough year!

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 August 2028 Kirkwall just set out to injure us as we lost our first choice goalkeeper for 6-7 weeks and one of the starting DC's for 7-9 weeks. We did manage to win on paper the hardest game of the season as Clachnacuddin have 9 of the media dream 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 December 2028 A busy, busy month to finish the year which sees us only able to win away at Golspie and now St. Duthus are ahead of with a game in hand and both Fort William & Clachnacuddin could easily overtake us as well. An A rated striker? Yes please! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 January 2029 After the chaos of December we play just the one math in January, which we do in fact draw when we should've won and it sends us down to 4th as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 2028/29 End of Season Review Honestly? I'm happy with 7th. None of these players are good enough for this league and I'm presuming we've just been playing really well due to us relying on our morale, once that began to go then we began playing within capabilities again, this is at best a Highland Amateur League side, in fact, our best six players by star rating are rated as "Good Highland Amateur League players" not even leading for the division below! Overall Best XI 2028/29 Best XI Jack Nelson (YP3b) Cameron Mainland (YP2c) - Maksymilian Bakowski (YP3a) - Fergus Lopez (YP3d) Shaun Swanson (YP2b) - Jordan McInally (YP5d) - Neil Robertson (YP1b) - Allan Mackay (YP2a) Edwin Hake - Allan Cameron (YP2d) - Rab Goller (YP4b) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 2029/30 Pre-Season Hocine could be pretty good for us! Alness got relegated after losing to Halkirk in the playoff and Clachnacuddin got themselves promoted back to the Highland League whilst we're still predicted miles off the pace.

Jimbokav1971 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Wow you're flying up the leagues. Surprised you weren't tempted to start somewhere at L13. Interesting to see how many non-British & Irish players you're getting through the Academy. I thought the Algerian might have been great, but when I actually looked at him I wasn't keen. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he's decent, but he's not the monster I was hoping for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted by level 13 but the reputation of clubs in the 10th tier Highland Amateur Division Three was as low, if not lower than the sides in the 13th tier. It says a lot about the quality of the side! I have no idea how we got two Algerians either as we have nobody with any knowledge of Algerian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 January 2030 Just the one win, but narrow margins all-round means we're just four points off top spot with four games to play, but there's still just six points separating 1st & 7th.

I think you do too many extremely hard saves than don't complete them, maybe a dafuge save could work. Not as difficult, though still hard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
