    Season Update 2024/25

    deee1a0ad299ab8b90480557391b7d1a.jpg

    Things aren't going too bad in Defoe's second season in the Prem..

    Premier League

    9bbc82f9747cc1666a80790c9727e64d.png

    We are still hanging on to the last Champions League spot after 26 games, winning 17, drawing 3 and losing 6 thus far. However, it won't be easy staying 4th as Arsenal and Chelsea are both hot on our heels.

    Jermain decided to utilise his second-choice players in Europe and they certainly caused some selection problems by finishing a respectable 10th after 8 games.

    We did well against the smaller teams but couldn't really compete with the big boys. A tough Arsenal outfit awaits us in the next round and none of us are putting money on ourselves to progress any further.

    Carabao Cup

    5299b01cb9e365b9728786ae0a0b016b.png

    After a morale-boosting comprehensive victory against Newport in the Third Round, things came crashing back down as we were eliminated away at Leeds after a close 1-2 defeat.

    FA Cup

    We are still going strong in the FA Cup though, and our second string earned themselves a fourth round replay after coming back to draw away at Norwich. Jermain is quietly confident that we should at least progress to the fifth round as we have home advantage :brock:

    Nelson Weiper has started his Boro career like a house on fire! He is only 19 this year but has already managed 17 goals in just 15 Premier League Starts. He even managed 3 in the Champions League as well. We are all aware that this goal scoring ratio is not sustainable but let's hope that this can go on for as long as possible! 

    Weiper doesn’t look like a world beater but his goal record is unbelievable! Gr8 work getting the best out of the German!

    Boro has been flying under the stewardship of Jermain!

    The boys have been absolutely flying in the league, winning 16 and drawing 2 at the start of Defoe's tenure. I'm not sure if it is the new manager bounce but we are all keeping our fingers crossed that the good form can last and we can stay ahead of Watford and Norwich by the end of the campaign!

    Carabao Cup

    We have also progressed in the Carabao Cup, knocking out Shrewsbury and Grimsby in the opening two rounds and a tough Stoke outfit awaits us in the third round. Our backup wide-men, Marcus Forss and Duncan Watmore, did their first-team hopes no harm by bagging two goals each in the competition thus far. Jermain will continue to use his second string for the rest of the Carabao Cup fixtures as we go full force in the league.

    The photo above might have given it away but Isaiah Jones has been absolutely brilliant for us in our near perfect start to the season. The tricky winger bagged 6 and created a further 5 in just 13 starts, playing a major role in our rise up the table. We will be managing his game time carefully throughout the campaign to ensure he stays clear of injury for the rest of the season \o/

    Would love to see how Isaiah does in the Prem! He looks like he can be a quality backup there! KUTGW mate!

    Mid-season Report

    b83c4994b7c6fc6a15ee48babea2fa11.png

    Things have been going well in Sergio's 1st attempt at managing in the Sky Bet League One. We were tipped to finish mid-table by the media but the Argentinian managed to guide us to the 2nd position after 31 games, with automatic promotion looking likely as we are 9 points ahead of 3rd-placed Oxford. It will be a challenge to topple Derby at the top though, as we have been consistently behind them in second place throughout the campaign.

    FA Cup

    ace809377f6b63ebbfdb786baa6352cf.png

    Our second choice lineup managed to progress past Leyton Orient and Ipswich in the 1st two rounds but the boys came unstuck against Premier League side Sheffield United in a 0-2 Third Round defeat.

    Carabao Cup

    577cb9f88643b50e16e9f872f2dcc677.png 

    Our worst performance of the season so far came in the Carabao Cup where another Premier League outfit, Leeds United, smashed us 5-1 at their home ground as we suffered a second round cup exit.

    Papa John's Trophy

    b12664b492bae751c6bb1b5aa7d7bd4d.png

    Things looked rosier in the Papa John's Trophy as the boys did very well to progress all the way to the semis, where a scary-looking Man City u23s side awaits us. Nevertheless, Sergio will continue to play his second string in this competition as he wants to place full focus on sealing automatic promotion.

    Star Performer

    c329a654022281c70cd01105336d3937.jpg

    The 19-year-old has been an absolute star for Sergio, scoring 18 goals in 20 starts in all competitions for the Salop. He was also out for almost two months with sprained knee ligaments and our results dipped as a result..

    10f3fa505b057a9f01b38456f5017100.png

    ..unfortunately, he has a release clause of 1.5 million pounds in his contract and two Premier League clubs have activated it on deadline day. He also refuses to negotiate a new contract :(

    First Pre-season

    2522ed91ab0287951ebad1b81630b51a.jpg

    This is Sergio's 1st ever pre-season as he joined his previous club half-way through the campaign, and he is relishing the chance to mould his squad and bring in players to fit his preferred 4-3-3 system.

    Transfers

    07135372224ba821bc5c789c47850517.png

    In his 1st full pre-season, the Man City legend brought in 11 to replace as many out-going players in a very busy summer. The club was also happy with the transfer businesses as we ended up with some revenue, and there is room left to plug gaps if some of our players are poached in January.   

    Key Signings

    Adam May

    aa19c6bacc24e50f196434dc0d517864.jpg 

    Sergio prefers to have 4 no. 8s to help him get through the season and the squad he took over was short of two. Adam was available on a free and came in on a trial before he was snapped up as the coaching team was impressed with his all-rounded game. He will offer thrust and technique in the Box To Box Midfielder role.

    Vontae Daley-Campbell

    f214b1a894183be2b2b5989524793c3f.jpg

    The club also didn't have right full-backs who were fast enough to rampage up and down the flank for Sergio. The pace of Vontae made the decision to bring him in very easy and he will start in the right full-back position for the Argentinian in the upcoming season.

    Jonathan Rowe

    4cee8a82b2ef1e9c0517b1adc204cd56.jpg

    There was also a distinct lack of wing attackers in the squad which Sergio inherited and he made full use of the loan market to bring in a promising left inverted winger from Norwich. His pace, flair and crossing ability will be crucial down our wings in the upcoming campaign.

    2f39f6712c0ee3af948e59af7dcedefb.png

    The club was also very kind to allow Sergio to work through his badges and he is now studying for the National B Licence. With that, the Argentinian's first ever season in professional football management begins!
