Bluewomble88 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 It's really dumb I know, but I've finally got AFC Wimbledon promoted to the BSP as champions and now I'm really scared to begin the new season for fear of being relegated again.

DevonSpurs Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I tend to worry about the 2nd season syndrome, always do well in my first season at spurs, strengthen what I think are the weakest parts of my team during the summer, and then for some reason always languish mid table, bad euro results etc in the 2nd season. I tend to put it down to the fact that I NEVER buy players when the game starts, always play with the players who are there "for real" for the first part of the season, and then during the Jan transfer window and the preseason window buy loads of new players, and staff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

108 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 yup i was manchester united and im always scared in every game but it makes it feel much better when i win I can completely understand. It must be terryfying playing as Utd, knowing that you might only win 2-0 rather than 5-0 most matches. The only time I get scared in the game is when I spend loads of money on one single player - and as soon as the transfer goes through, a large cloud of regret lingers over my head.

Arkim Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I only feel slightly not confident when I play the major teams in my top flight. After we were promoted to the top flight I was all excited of taking my team to a whole new level, but when you are playing against a team who has been dominating the league for the past several years, it does tend to throw me off a bit.

Mike7077 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 When you get promoted, getting used to a season that's the complete opposite of your previous one is one of the hardest things about the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirdez24 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 To me, after getting promoted, the gap between your last friendly and the first league game is the most daunting part of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

echosofberlin Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 When I sell a player who grew with my team (i.e. Morgan Schniederlin played for my leeds united team in the championship and premiership before improving like crazy, followed by me selling him to barca for 16 million) Its 3 seasons after and I'm always tempted to buy him back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Wouldn't say scared, just more full of wonder at whats coming up in the next season. Its more when i promoted to be honest! P.S does anybody find that when they get promoted for the first few games they find themselves playing the strongest teams from that league? Or am i just unlucky in every season after promotion?

plebbo_dom Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'm also managing AFC Wimbledon on course for a promotion in League 1 to the Champs. Got Arsenal as my parent club so I usually get 4 of their reserve players on loan the whole season. As for the OPer I reckon you should do the same (get a parent club) and start signing reject players from the PL they should be good enough to guide you into league 1.

Almondo Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I got scared when I started a challenge with luton and their 30 point deduction.

MartinGregory84 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I would be scared lol AFC Wimbledon are going down on mine 2nd season. To answer your question no Im in my second season with Gateshead after winning promotion I wasnt scared because I count myself as an FM wheeler Dealer and brought a few new faces from league 2 and above including Dean Windass.

Sy13 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Update... It's taken me nearly 2 weeks to get started in my BSP campaign because I was so nervous about crashing and burning. However, 1 week before the first day my scout attended a trialist day and I picked up 3 fantastic players on a free who went straight into the first team. Now, 3 games in I've won all 3 and only conceded 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
