Carambau Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) Start of Season 24/25 The Club It is a big challenge for Joe Baxter. At least the club has professional status. The Transfers We brought in 2 new strikers. Our best striker left and 2 talents were loaned out. The Team Much will depend on how tight our defense will be and if Parkhouse will live up to the big expectations. The Key Players A great right winger with a lung of iron. He could run the lines up and down all day long. Our new striker. Good Off The Ball, Jumping Reach and Heading make him the ideal target man up front. We need to feed him high crosses. The Tactics We will have to see if we can really employ this highly demanding tactic with this team. Edited June 15 by Carambau 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carambau Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 (edited) End of Season 24/25 We finished second which is a very good achievement with this team. We won the Irish Cup. A good run to the semi final. We went out in the quarters here. Season Stats Signing of the season: David Parkhouse. Clarke and Teelan have been outstanding too. As was young talent Oisin Dunne. Then this happened: WTF? Granted, we were 500K in debt but REVERTING TO SEMI-PRO? You can´t be serious!! I tried to reason with the board but they just kept rejecting me. Alright then. **** you. Good riddance! Let´s see what the future holds for Baxter... This save is far from over! Edited June 16 by Carambau Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carambau Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 (edited) Start of Season 25/26 Joe Baxter has joined Linfield FC after their manager was sacked after last season. The Club This club has professional status. And they got some money in the bank. Chances of reverting to semi-pro after this season are low I guess. The Transfers They gave Baxter some money to spend and he did. He even brought in a player from his former team: Oisin Dunne. Mostly loans. The Team This team looks way more talented than the last one. The Key Players A great target man. I hope he can contribute a lot. Our best winger. He should feed our target man with floating crosses. The Tactics This tactic worked quite nicely with Crusaders last season. Edited June 17 by Carambau 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carambau Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 (edited) End of Season 25/26 We finished second again. And Fitzpatrick won the golden boot. But look at ****ing Crusaders, who suffered a laughable 8th position finish. Wow, that reverting to semi-pro really helped. We retained the Irish Cup, but it was a real struggle until in the end we pravailed in the penalty shootout. They missed 2. We went out early here. Seems like this isn´t Baxters competition somehow. We also won the NIFL League Cup. Season Stats The lads did very well, considering Baxter took over only a week before the beginning of the season, this was a great performance by the team, with some fantastic results on the way.

Carambau Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 Start of Season 26/27 The Transfers 350K for right back Ross Heffernan looks a bit expensive but I am sure this talent is worth it. And we brought in 4 players from Baxter´s Ex-club Crusaders too. We got rid of some more deadwood. The Team Heffernan could become the star of this team. And we finally got a proper goalkeeper now. The Key Player A tall keeper with a long reach. Just what we needed. The Tactics No need to change the tactic. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carambau Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 (edited) End of Season 26/27 We won the League by a mile and dominated the player stats. We retained the Irish Cup, this time it was a walk in the park. We went out early again. We just dont like this competition. We also won the NIFL League Cup. Again. We were invited to this Scottish Cup and went and just won it. Season Stats A brilliant season by the young lads! They developed smoothly and will be even better next season! Oh and our youth team won their league as well! Edited June 18 by Carambau 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t know, I will try to set European glory as the long run target maybe or I might start another, more challenging save in the near future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
