Padders

Season 176 - 2196/97 - SBC Back in the SBC and started really poorly Form was better second half of the season and finished 3rd We beat Liverpool 6-4 on aggregate in the Semi Finals Then lost to Chesterfield who we beat both times in the league

Look at the state of this kid that Fleetwood poached off me a few years ago

Season 175 - 2195/96 -,PL Relegated again first season in PL In the bottom 3 all season The whole back 4 is L1/L2 standard and not good enough Mike Williams the GK left on a free

Season 174 - 2194/95 - SBC Promoted as champions! A decent season 103 points, in the top 2 pretty much all season

Season 173 - 2193/94 - SBC A rather frustrating season as we didn't push on from the 4th place finish last season and finished just outside the playoffs in 7th Sean Prendergrast went to Sevilla at the end of his contract Before he left he got his first England cap My first England international for decades, I can't remember the last one I had

Season 172 - 2192/93 - SBC Back in the SBC Finished 3rd so into the playoff Won the Semi Finals convincingly 5-0 But then lost in the Final to Portsmouth 1-0 Last year for Sean Prendergast coming up, won't sign new contract and extension was trigger two years ago Now worth a cool £58m-£72m Got 18 assists last season from left back

Superb @fries

Season 171 - 2191/92 - PL Back into the PL and its no surprise, relegated straight back down again. Concede goals for fun and when make changes to tactics to make us hard to score past, we don't score at all

Yes I do try to do that for as long as possible

Oh, I do have optional contract extension clause for Williams I thought I did but wasn't in the contract drop down before (maybe appears when coming towards end of existing contract?)

Season 170 - 2190/91 - SBC CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!! I felt we look a better squad but stupid runs stopped any chance of promotion. Not sure the league was up to much, to win it on 86 points feels low, we came 4th with 89 a few seasons ago. We do have two very good players, as usual neither will sign new contracts as want to move to better players. Both were given contract extensions that I have forced on them when giving them their first contracts. Williams has two years left Prendergast has three year left

Season 169 - 2189/90 - SBC Another really poor and disappointing season

The FM25 news might help me

Season 168 - 2188/89 - SBC After nearly gaining automatic promotion last season, this was a really poor season, 15th

Got Dorking and Maidstone in the PL as well

Season 167 - 2187/88 - SBC Well the bottlejobs are well and truly back A lot better season, sat top in mid December with a 15 game unbeaten run Then one bad result results in a shocking run of 1 win in 9 The form picked up last couple of months sat just off the top 2 We played bottom of the league Chesterfield in the penultimate game Yes you guess it we lost and if we won that then would have finished 2nd Into the playoffs, we play Sunderland we we played last game and beat them easily 3-0 We then get hammered in the 1st leg 3-6 We lost to the very strong Cardiff in the SF of the Carabao Cup. They have finished in the top 2 of the PL something like 14 times in the last 20 years

Season 166 - 2186/87 - SBC Another mid table finish but form was definitely picking up with more tactic tweaks For the first time this FM, I have forgot to do the screenshots (not sure how!) so only have the Youth Intake and last years table

I always add in a few non league sides to hammer to build up morale

2185/86 - Season 165 - SBC Back into the SBC Started poorly and never really recovered, finishing mid table

Not sure I have a single PL CA standard according to the coach reports currently I very rarely seem to get many, might get the odd 1 or 2 but never a decent amount at the same time

Not sure I have ever had more than 3*, if I have its a handul max!

This is this seasons

Season 164 - 2184/85 - PL First season back in the PL but we struggled again and relegated! We did have a little spell where we looked like we might escape the drop but the poor form returned I've got to try find a way of stopping the goals but also finding a way to score

Season 163 - 2183/84 - SBC We have been getting slightly better last few seasons Another playoff finish, 5th We actually had chance to finish 2nd, we played Portsmouth last game, we were 3 points behind but with a better GD, we drew 1-1 and ended up 5th We beat West Ham comfortably 2-0 both legs in the Semi Finals We then put in a decent performance vs Norwich to win 2-1 in the Final Back to the PL after 12 season away!!!!!
