This was a one club save, but then I got sacked after just 17 games!

Good luck with Zamora

Looking forward to it dude, good luck.

Good luck mate .

Good luck HC with this.

Thanks lads

And Crag, I don't need to say anything when I have this:

:cool:

Well said there.

In bocca al lupo.

Good luck HC! My squad overview looks about the same for left back I've never had a decent left back on any save with any team, ever!

Thought this was going to be a Fulham thread.

Good luck!

Well said there.

I didn't even say much!

In bocca al lupo.

I had to Google what that meant :o

Left backs are one of the hardest positions to find just like in real life so once you find one, keep 'em.

Thought this was going to be a Fulham thread.

Good luck!

Now why would you think that?

I had to Google what that meant :o

You're meant to reply with "crepi il lupo" (which is pretty much "death to the wolf"), otherwise it's bad luck.

Good luck with Zamora, I played in that same league with Barakaldo when they got promoted.

Good luck with your new career

Yes, I saw when I Googled it but was to confused by what I was reading to understand

Good luck with your new career

Thanks City!

Good luck with the new save Bring on the first update!

Good luck with Zamora

You've got a couple of big names in your division in the form of Alaves and Real Union, both with fairly successful pasts, who should give you a good test.

Thanks abulezz, just about to do the pre-season report.

I was considering taking a big club in one of the 4 groups (mainly looked at Tenerife) in the end, I never really did have a favorite just had to take one as soon as I could before it bugged me and the finances just swayed it for Zamora.

Good luck with this. It looks to be a very interesting club and I've always wanted to see how people do trying to take a club all the way in Spain. Will deffo be following this

Thanks Pangaea

August/September 2011

1. Zamora 2-3 Palencia (Segunda División B - Group 2)

A very even game that was unfortunately won with a very lucky goal. Palencia started well and got ahead early with a deflected shot, the goal was given as an own goal by Sergio Sánchez. However we came back at them with 2 goals to put us infront, one of them coming from a set-piece but before the referee could blow for half time they got back into the game. The second started slowly and that was reflected in the goal they scored, a pass back that was well underhit fell to the feet of Jorge Molino who passed it pass the keeper to put Palencia 3-2 ahead and we couldn't find an answer.

2. Burgos 1-2 Zamora (Segunda División B - Group 2)

A game in which we dominated was harder than it should have been. The first half was dyer from our point of view as we went a goal behind from a corner kick and couldn't manage to get the ball on target. A few words were said at half time but no changes, the message was clear, we shouldn't be losing and after a great run from Nono, Jacobo Trigo took the ball off him and smashed it against the bar, fortunately it bounced in over the line and we were level. We then went and took the lead thanks to a well placed finish from super sub Jairo. They never threatened to get back into the game so we went home happy with 3 points.

3. Zamora 0-1 Amorebieta (Segunda División B - Group 2)

A feisty game that saw 8 yellow cards took away a lot of the quality. We were poor all over the field and didn’t create anything clear cut. They didn’t really deserve the win but they took their chances and we didn’t, so we can’t complain. Some of our best players don’t seem to be stepping up to the challenge, which is quite frustrating as without them we won’t go far this season.

4. Segoviana 0-0 Zamora (Segunda División B - Group 2)

Another boring game where there were chances, quite a few but due to lack of quality from both teams neither net ever bulged. It seems odd that the first two games were really entertaining a lot of goals and good finishes but the last two games have been very dull and boring. Might try out the 4-1-2-1-2 formation for the next game, see if we can try and get another player supporting the strikers.

5. Zamora 1-2 Real Sociedad “B” (Segunda División B - Group 2)

A mid-week game saw us make a few changes to the squad, we went out and started brilliantly scoring in under 7 minutes. Even when we went in at half time we seemed comfortable and solid at the back. Then 2 quick goals from Joseba Beitia killed us off and we never really came back. The only real chance we had was 15 minutes before the end but we failed miserably and yet again we went home without 3 points.

6. Lemona 1-0 Zamora (Segunda División B - Group 2)

We threw away the points here, we had our chances to take the lead but we didn’t take them. They didn’t offer to much going forward so it seemed if we took the lead we could easily go onto to take all 3 points. We didn’t and then we gave away a penalty, which they scored and took home the three points.

-------------------------------------------------------

League: We are currently 18^th in the relegation zone with just 4 points. 5 goals in 6 games sums up everything you need to know, since the first two games of the season our strike force have given absolutely nothing, a tough first month but the only way is up.

Hopefully form will pick up soon. Some decent signings in pre-season to.

Fortune still plays professional football!

Rough start - must be looking forward to that first victory

I'm surprised how hard we've found it especially after the first two games. I'm going to play 4-1-2-1-2 in the next game, see how well that works.

I won the 2nd game of the season, only picked up 1 point after that.

Not too much ball hitting the back of the net so far.

You're right there, which is surprising as I have some good attacking players.

If I could sign him, I will. Even if it's as a Staff member in 10 years time.

But there is plenty of love.

There will always be love in my thread

7. Zamora 1-1 Arandina (Segunda División B - Group 2)

A game of 2 halves as they say. The first half was action packed with glorious chances for both side but in the end no one scored whereas the 2^nd half there was basically no chances with 2 goals. They took the lead and again we didn’t look like scoring but a moment of magic from Alonso put us a level. Still looking for our 2^nd win of the season though.

8. Guijuelo 2-1 Zamora (Segunda División B - Group 2)

Another poor performance from us. We haven’t been unlucky in any of the games we’ve played, we’ve been poor and deserved what we’ve got. They scored two goals which killed the game off for us although we were never in it. We did manage a consolation goal in the last minute of the game but nothing to shout about.

9. Zamora 1-3 Alavés (Segunda División B - Group 2)

Yet again the game was over so quickly. Within the first half an hour they were 3-0 up and that was game over. We can’t score and although our defence has been okay this season if you don’t score you don’t win. I made 3 changes at half time but it did nothing to threaten them even if we did pull 1 goal back.

10. Sestao 2-0 Zamora (Segunda División B - Group 2)

Amazingly we could have won this game and we played quite well. We had a great chance to win it with 5 minutes to go but Alonso cocked up a one on one and they went and scored 2 goals. Again poor finishing has cost us points. It’s so frustrating to finally get into a position where we could win it and pick up 3 points but we threw it away and left with no points.

11. Zamora 3-1 U.D. Logroňés (Segunda División B - Group 2)

I may have just saved my job with that victory. Before the game, I was next in line to be sacked and surely another winless game would have cost me my job but we went out there and performed brilliantly. We took the lead early on and extended it soon after. They pulled a goal back on the half time mark at which point I thought we’d go on to lose but we came out 2^nd half, survived the pressure they put on us and then scored a 3^rd on the break to get all 3 points.

12. Mirandés 0-0 Zamora (Segunda División B - Group 2)

We went to the team sat 2^nd in the league and put up a decent performance. Being the away side we were always going to be on the back foot and we did well to withstand heavy pressure at times. We did have chances to win but nothing clear cut so overall was pleased with the result.

-------------------------------------------------------

League: No change from the end of September as we sit 18^th, we did drop to 19^th but with the win towards the end of the month we managed to crawl back up a place. I am still under a lot of pressure so will need to ensure we can build from these last two games.

Still needing to fire up soon.

Sorry to hear about your previous save. Good luck with your new adventure in Spain

Not looking like it's going too well at the moment, but you've picked up some pretty good results in your previous 2 games.

Lay down the law HotChocolate!!! Need to see some goals coming from this team if you are to survive.

good luck. i thought this thread was going to be about Bobby.

13. Zamora 1-3 Real Unión (Segunda División B - Group 2)

We were back to our old selves, very poor and easy to beat. The games was won by half time as they had scored 3 and put us to bed. After a few changes we pulled one back and did threaten to get another but nothing came of it and we slumped to a defeat.

14. Bilbao Athletic 0-0 Zamora (Segunda División B - Group 2)

Both teams had chances to score but neither could really make the most of it. The best chance fell to them in the last minute but the ball hit the post and went out for a goal kick. Still struggling to find any bit of form at the moment.

15. Zamora 0-2 Salamanca (Segunda División B - Group 2)

We deserved to lose as always. The frustrating bit is the opposition seem to score when they want and that is usually within the first 10 minutes. At which point our team lose all confidence and we go on to lose the game. Even when we don’t concede early on we still concede and can’t score. If only that would change.

16. Gimástica 2-0 Zamora (Segunda División B - Group 2)

A game that was very similar to my last, they scored early and we put up a fight to get back into the game but inevitably we failed and they went and killed the game off with a second not long before the end. Unfortunately we don’t seem to be able to buy a goal at all and it has taken a massive hit on our confidence.

-------------------------------------------------------

League: I sit 19^th in the league and joint on points with 18^th and 20^th. It’s not looking good as I feel I need to win my next game to keep my job but without scoring in 3 games it’s not looking likely. Even a team meeting actually dented confidence.

Still needing to fire up soon.

Pointing out the obvious, as always.

Sorry to disappoint

17. Zamora 0-2 Osasuna “B” (Segunda División B - Group 2)

Same score but at different times. They scored just before half time and just after we came out. This time though we weren’t even in the game, never threatened at all and they might as well cracked open a crate of San Miguel.

-------------------------------------------------------

And so we were sat 19^th won only 2 games in the season and the board had enough. I was sacked. Not quite sure what to do now, I’ll continue and apply for jobs see if anything pops up.

Unlucky So annoying when you just can't score no matter what, hope a good team presents itself to you soon, choose wisely if you're going for a one (two now ) club save as well! good luck

*states obvious about how that didn't go well and wishs better luck at the next place*

Unlucky with losing your job, was going to be a tough task with a club like that! Good luck wherever you end up next!

Very tough start,unlucky with losing your job.Hopefully you can find a better club

After being turned down by clubs in Segunda B division I decided that I was going to remove the Spanish leagues and add a lot of lower European leagues. I'd rather move country this time round.

So yes, the thread title will need a change but I already have one in mind

Job offers.

I rejected all of them bar the Boreham Wood and Woking jobs, not sure if I should go to England.

I go to England! Good starting block for a journeyman!

I'd go for an English job. Good place to start out I think.

Of the two I would look at the Woking job.

I'm sorry but I don't think I'll be carrying on this thread.

I know it's petty but it was a one club save and seen as I've got sacked I just don't want to carry on with that record at the beginning of my career.

Fair play mate, I'd do the same Do another Journeyman thread mate?

Question is what next then?

I was going to start up another game either:

Go on holiday for 20 odd years and take over a club in distress or,

Your typical journeyman thread.

Not sure whether I'd do a thread or not though.

Typical Journeyman and do a thread
