Makoto Nakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Queen's Park, an oddity in world football as they will forever be amateur which creates an intriguing challenge in Football Manager.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Pre-Season 2013/14 A poor Pre-Season, only the win against our reserves although we put up a good fight against Burnley and Stranraer. Best Transfers: Tony McParland Oli Monguel In the cups we've been drawn against Falkirk in the Challenge Cup and drawn against Cowdenbeath in the League Cup, so we'll be out of those very quickly.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 August 2013 A bad start as expected but things looked up and we currently lie in 2nd, but that says nothing as it's very early in the season. We have been given some money though, £56,000 for the sale of Paul Cairney from Hibernian to Sheffield Wednesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 September 2013 An unbeaten 2nd month and we thrashed Brora 4-0 in the 2nd Round of the Scottish Cup, in the 3rd Round we will face either Stirling or East Stirlingshire.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 October 2013 An almost good month, we conceded too many for my liking which is something I shall have to try to address, but we're still at the top of the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 November 2013 Goals galore! We're going incredibly well in the cup knocking out Stirling on penalties before thrashing the always weak Fort William, we've been given another great draw in the 5th Round as we play Formartine United. In the league things seem to be starting to click with 9 goals in just 2 games! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 December 2013 Again the goals are flying in here there and everywhere, and it's given us a 5 point lead at the top and a 4 goal cushion over Berwick as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 January 2014 And it started so decently, then we concede 8 in 2 games, the only saving grace is that the other teams are slipping up as much as we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 February 2014 A great month! Jamie Watson has been on fire for us scoring 9 in 5! This takes his total to 28 in 31! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 March 2014 A decent month where we managed to secure ourselves a play-off place and have made it to the Semi-Final of the Scottish Cup where we face Celtic for a televised match!

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 End of Season 2013/14 A low end to the season with just the one win but luckily we had the title wrapped up and can now look forward to what next season has in store for us.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Pre-Season 2014/15 The board tells me this at the start of the season, not that this helps though because the 3 players who were interested wanted some sort of a wage contribution. I'm full of optimism! Lots of friendlies, the first set gave us over £500,000 and the 2nd set were morale boosters to get over the previous losses. A few good transfers and the first of our youth players are going on to bigger and better things, to Livingston in the league above. One thing I noticed is that all of our transfers are coming from the Scottish lower leagues, lower than the Scottish League 2. Key Transfers: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 August 2014 A good show of support, broadening our horizons to another 22 people. A much better start than I could have hoped for, I don't think the gap in quality between the Scottish lower leagues is as big as I first thought as Sterling aren't doing too badly either and they got promoted with us. Out main scorer is Tony Quinn, a man reborn, last season he scored 3 in 29, this season he's scored 5 in 6. Some more transfers in with this guy being the pick of them all. We have also lost YP1a to Livingston. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 September 2014 Another unbeaten month, but the amount of goals is very worrying, we've conceded the joint most goals in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 October 2014 My worst month so far, just before the Alloa game I changed to a more defensive formation and I'll be using it for the next few matches as it's relaxing to keep a clean sheet.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 November 2014 A good month, unfortunately we haven't been able to recreate our cup heroics of last season as we find ourselves already dumped out in just the 3rd round.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 December 2014 Inconsistent all-round, we still have a place in the playoffs but the table is very tight, with just 1 point separating 2nd from 5th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 January 2015 Another poor mixed month with us just getting 7 points from 18, we're hanging on to that last playoff place by a thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 February 2015 Another annoying month, Grant Mosson has been keeping us in games as without him we'd only have 1 point from the 12 available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Pre-Season 2015/16 So we've gone from being 40-1 outsiders to 150-1 outsiders, hopefully I can finish 8th! It started off so brightly as well... We've lost more youth products and it's getting harder to find players as they're still coming in from the Highland/ Lowland leagues.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 August 2015 An amazing start to life in the Championship, I don't expect it to last though, there are some very, very tough teams in this league so I'm expecting to finish 6th or 7th come the end of the season.

Makoto Nakamura Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 September 2015 The month looks a lot worse than how I thought it was, 2 of the losses were in cups that I didn't really care about and we only lost 1 league game and we thrashed Livingston 5-1 in my 100th game as a manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 October 2015 - Job Worries A great month! We came back from 3-0 down to hold Rangers to a 3-3 draw! The only blip was losing to Queen of the South. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 November 2015 And suddenly our defence had turned to shambles, conceding 17 goals in 6 games, we have scored 18 in those 6 but we need to stop conceding at get more points on the board.

It should yes, and in fact it is, we have £3.2M in the bank, the only thing I can think of is that we're in £939K of net debt and paying off 2 loans until 2021.
