Saxonaitor Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 "American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the South Pacific Ocean, southeast of the sovereign state of Samoa, formerly known as Western Samoa. The main (largest and most populous) island is Tutuila, with the Manuʻa Islands, Rose Atoll, and Swains Island also included in the territory. American Samoa is part of the Samoan Islands chain, located west of the Cook Islands, north of Tonga. Their population as of 2000 was 57,291." Taken from Wikipedia. My international career begins. American Samoa are 206th in the world, the 3rd worst team in the world . What have I gotten myself into. I got straight into action as my first game was straight up against Papua New Guinea in our OFC Nations Cup clash. Unfortunatly we had already been elemininated so this was an experiment game. Papua New Guinea are ranked 141st in the world rankings. Fianl Score from National Sports Staduim, Suva Papua New Guinea (Mataio 11) 1-0 American Samoa A game which we didn't expect to win, didn't but still preformed good to only lose 1-0. We had in my view two great players out because they needed to rest. Several players impressed but I can't name any names as yet because I don't know my squad that well.

Saxonaitor Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 28th December 2009 Bah Humbug! I hate the Christmas period. To many games I am in the middle of a 3 games in 6 days streak!! To make it worse also, this next game was my catch up game. It was against St Albans, another Crouchaldinho vs Saxonaitor Showdown 2! Crouchaldinho vs Saxonaitor Showdown 2! Final Score from Clarence Park, St Albans St Albans (Joynes 42) 1-1 Havant & Waterlooville (Knight 45+1) Lets make things clear, this was not my best team. of my best 11, maybe 6 players were in. Stein Hansen made an atrocity to give St Albans the lead but that was short lived as Carl Knight popped up to score the equaliser. He then hit the bar later on and was unlucky not to be the 2 goal hero. Johnny Williamson may find himself in goal after the blunder.

Saxonaitor Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 30th December 2009 We had hit a poor run of form and it had seen us not lose but now only 3 points behind second on 19 games. Stein Hansen will not start against my next opponents which were Hampton & Richmond away. It would be hard as the past week had seen to many games. Final Score at Beveree Stadium, (Hampton) London Hampton & Richmond (Harris 65) 1-1 Havant & Waterlooville (Van Den Berg 71) The end of 2009 ended as a draw. A penalty was awarde to Hampton early, but luckily Williamson saw it wide. In the end, Hampton took the lead and we switched to our 4-3-3 tactic, which always seems to provide goals soon after. Van Den Berg got his 5th of the season. We are on the home stretch now and should be able to keep our good form going. We have only lost twice this season.

Saxonaitor Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 2nd January 2010 Happy new year!!! However there was no party for us, as on the 2nd, we had our toughest game of the season against Stockport County in the FA Cup 3rd Round. I was 1 of the 4 non-league teams left in the cup, but I felt that wouldn't last much longer. Kevin Scriven is gone, along with our physio, and we now have £250 to spend in wages. This is for a decent ass man and physio.. Yay.. Final Score at Edgeley Park, Stockport Stockport County (Thompson 5, Purdie 40 Pen) 2-2 Havant & Waterlooville (Poate 60, McDaid 78) An amazing comeback for us. By half time we had conceded 2 penalties and were 2 nil down. At that point I felt our FA Cup dream was over. However we bucked up after our subs came on, we energised and Poate got one back followed by McDaid adding on. A great result for us to be sure.

Saxonaitor Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 6th January 2010 My search for a ass man and physio has ended, with both applicants hoping to fill their positions. My physio has an improved physiotherapy of 14. This should imporve my injury times if my calculations are correct. I looked at some strikers and came up with a 33 year old replacement to fill the void as such. More news on him later. Next in the league would be 3rd place Welling in what should be a tough game. Final Score at Westleigh Park, Havant Havant & Waterlooville (Wakins 69, McDaid 74) 2-0 Welling Utd A really great win for us, we looked in control all match long. Dylan Hughes was my sub in shiny armour once again as he inspired the squad to buck up and score some goals. We had missed chances before but Watkins and McDaid made two great breakaways to score their goals. Blue Square South Table 6th January 2009 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxonaitor Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 9th January 2009 Transfers, Transfers, Transfers! To start things off, some league 2 clubs are looking to accquire Dylan Hughes, the 24 Welsh right winger. He has just got into form after injury and it would be a blow to us if he goes. Luke Nightingale has rejected several contract offers to keep at the club. I am looking to get a new strike and one possibility I am looking at is 35 year old Dougie Freedman, the ex Crystal Palace hitman. He would be a useful asset to us, if only for the experiance. Our next game was against lowly placed Chippenham. It was a must win. Final Score at Westleigh Park, Havant Havant & Waterlooville (Poate Pen 3) 1-1 Chippenham (Akinde 90+1) Note; I did not view the match from 70 minutes. A game which we should of won, but an injury time goal sealed us to 1 point. Comparing this to the start of the season, our performance was slighty worse. This was probably to balme on the absence of our midfield duo, Jon Docker and Ross Hepburn. We are still top by 4 points.

Saxonaitor Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Sorry for the length in between updates here guys, I have been unable to spend an enought time to get ready for the matches (They take a while for me) 13th January 2010 The FA Cup replay was finally here! Stockport seemed overpowering and I was not expecting a result of any kind. Sounds optimistic dosen't it. . Well anyway I was still on the hunt for a striker and I will keep you informed of my progress. Final Score at Westleigh Park, Havant (FA Cup 3rd Round Replay) Havant & Waterlooville (Oatway 82) 1-2 Stockport County (Rose 42, Pilkington 62) Well we gave it our fair fight, and I don't mind that we didn't come out on top. Stockport really dominated and our great defence kept a respectable scoreline. Martin Hansen has looked to overcome his early jitters and looks to be a good signing. However David McDaid and Johnny Reynolds suffered some injuries, they will be out for 3 weeks and 10 days repectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxonaitor Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 @Raware, thanks for the continuing support! 16th January 2010 Just 3 after my cup loss to Stockport, we had to face Worcester in the league. Many of my players are injured including most of the back line. Also my forwards are taking a battering, with McDaid, Booth and Sean Gordon still out. Luke Nightingale has proved that he can handle the big time over the past month, and I am considering remobing him of the transfer list. Fianl Score at Westleigh Park, Havant Havant & Waterlooville (Van Den Berg Pen 42, Watkins 89) 2-0 Worcester A game which we controlled and maybe should of won by a bigger margin. Still however, we are lacking that the ability to hit the back of the net. That is most probably due to the injuries more than anything though. Still looking for a new striker however, and I have offered a contract to Cook Islands Striker Paul Luiz Van Eijk. His stats are a mystery but I have a good feeling about him. (Not Genie Scout) There is also an English striker by the name of Tom Craddock, an ex Middlesborough striker. He looks to be my main target for the rest of January.

Saxonaitor Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 23rd January 2010 We were back to our weekly schedule at last. However we had made a new signing in that week, Paul Luiz Van Ejik, the Cook Islander front man who could be Luke Nightingale's replacment if he decides he does not want to discuss a new contract. He would play his first game against lowly Sutton Utd, in a must win for us. In injury news, Paul Booth have returned from injury and should come back into the first team in a couple of weeks. Sean Gordon would start against Sutton, lets hope for no injuries. Final Score at Gander Green Lane, Sutton Sutton Utd 0-2 Havant & Waterlooville (Van Eijk 23, Docker 81) A secure but shaky win. It could of been a draw really and Sutton were a threat right up to our second goal. Van Eijk looked very impressive, and he capped that with a goal. Over confidence is now becoming a factor in the team and it will be interesting who shall play or not. Tension grows over the right midfieder spot, with Vincent Van Den Berg and Dylan Hughes fighting it out for the place.

Saxonaitor Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 26th January 2010 We are nearing the end of January, and with only 1 signing, it was a pretty uneventful transfer window. Tom Craddock has still not come back to me with his contract, and I fear he will not join us. In positive news however, several key names are returning from injury, most noteable including Jay Gasson and Paul Booth. Paul Booth is actully going to be on the subs bench for our next game. That game was against Bognor Regis Town who on a run of poor form, looked to be easy targets. Final Score at Nyewood Lane, Bognor Regis Bognor Regis Town (McGhee 77, Williams 85) 2-0 Havant & Waterlooville Well I had been saying over confience was a problem, and it showed here today. We never could really get into any real rythem and the few chances we had were squandered by Luke Nightingale. Paul Booth came on late as a sub a didn't get injured like last time. It's only our 3rd loss of the season, but I still feel disapointed at the performance. Blue Square South Table 26th January 2010 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonaitor Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 30th January 2010 We had suffered our 3rd loss of the season. I was looking forward to the squads reaction to our next match, against Bath. Our squad is injury free now, with Ian Simpemba, David McDaid and Jay Smith all returning. Ian Simpemba would start this next match. Our front line was interesting, with Paul Booth lining up with my new signing, Paul Luiz Van Eijk. How would this partnership fair? Final Score at Westleigh Park, Havant Havant & Waterlooville (Van Eijk 16, Docker 33) 2-1 Bath City (Turner 57) A well deserved win for in front of our home supporters. Paul Luiz Van Eijk is proving to be a natural goalscorer, with his second in four games. Docker then added a second and it looked like we were already home dry. Although Bath got us worried after they got one back, we never looked in doubt and recorded our 18th win of the season.

Saxonaitor Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 6th Febuary 2010 We were coming in to the last few months of the season, and we look to be cruising, especially now we have our full squad back. We would start our supremo stikers of the season up front, David McDaid and Paul Booth up front. I was expecting goals against an average Maidenhead side. Final Score at York Road, Maidenhead Maidenhead 0-3 Havant & Waterlooville (Rose OG 25, Taggart 54, Booth 58) A good victory for us. Paul Booth is still a influencial figure on the pitch, and proves that point when we play like we did today. Martin Hansen also returned and made seceral fantastic saves. This is fantasic news for me as it means I know we have a secure man between the sticks. Our lead increses over Thurrock to 6 points.

Saxonaitor Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 13th Febuary 2010 We were slowly but surely pulling away from Thurrock, and already I can't get relagated from the league. Martin Hansen has been a brick wall and he has not conceded a goal in 300 minutes at the moment. Our next opponent was Bishops Stortford, who main player, 40 year old Dean Windass would have to be watched carefully.. Final Score at Weslaigh Park, Havant Havant & Waterlooville (Holloway Pen 53, 75) 2-0 Bishops Stortford A win which really was lucky for us. We played well but couldn't finish and if not for the 2 penalties we would have probably drawed. Martin Hansen was again outstanding in goal and he is proving to be my signing of the season.

Saxonaitor Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 20th Febuary 2010 Another week, another game to come. Ashford boss Billy Donnelly claimed Gary Holloway to be my main man, and he is partly right in those circumstances. I am expecting both him and Jon Docker to pull the strings in midfield and control the game. I have confidence they shall do this. Final Score at Short Lane, Ashford Ashford (Middlesex) 0-2 Havant & Waterlooville (Booth 4, Holloway Pen 43) A good win for us which got of to a flyer thanks to Booth. He has been in spectacular form since he returned from injury and I hope he shall keep up his form. Unfortunatley for him though, he has once again suffered an injury and he will be out for 5-6 weeks. McDaid better start scoring now.

Saxonaitor Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 27th Febuary 2010 The race for the title was now almost over. We were 10 points clear of 2nd place Thurrock. and the title is surely ours now. Sounding optimistic I know but I can't see us slipping up now. Martin Hansen still hasn't concdeded a goal in 400 minutes now. Final Score at Cressing Road Staduim, Braintree Braintree 0-4 Havant & Waterlooville (McDaid 18, Docker 27, Hepburn 62,79) Braintree have been dreadful this season compared to last. Last season they finfished in the play offs, this year they are danger of relagation. I was confident of a win and got a big one, with McDaid getting on the scoresheet for the first time since his injury. He played brilliantly today and deserved his goal.

Next up we had a team that I never underestimate, Newport County. I was hoping for another comfortable win. Final Score at Westleigh Park, Havant Havant & Waterlooville (Hepburn 59, Taggart 65) 2-1 Newport County (Cooley 70) A win which shall be mared by injuries. Van Den Berg and Dan Spence will both be out for 5-6 weeks and on a result of Docker's injury, I may be sending him on holiday to recover from exhaustion. The game was saved by Ross Hepburn, my sub in shining armour when he grabbed a goal, and then set up Taggart for the 2nd.

They matched and destroyed us in all areas of the pitch. Our forwards hardly got a shot on goal, which is unusual for us.

Saxonaitor Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 27th March 2010 Our loss against Eastbourne Borough hurt our run of good results, but we would have to step up as our next opponent, 2nd place Thurrock. It would be 1st vs 2nd and a game which we would have to win to really boost our confidence going into the last few games. Final Score at Westleigh Park, Havant Havant & Waterlooville (Hepburn 79, McDaid 87) 2-1 Thurrock (Lake 31) A game which we should not of won. A great but to late comeback, in which we looked impressive. However the other 80 minutes were pretty despicable, we could not get the ball in the net. We looked impressive in the midfield area, but our forwards couldn't hit the net. Paul Booth and Dan Spence are now fit to play, but in this game Paul Luiz Van Eijk got injured and he will be out for 3-4 weeks. In other news we have already reached the play offs.

Saxonaitor Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 31st March 2010 My 2nd game as American Samoan Manager would be a friendly against Vanatu, who were ranked 107th in the world. Our ranking had taken a jump since our last match, from 206th to 192nd. I was hoping for a draw at least, but I wasn't feeling that optimistic. Final Score at Korman Stadium, Port Villa Vanuatu (Yelou 6, Vatu 86) 2-0 American Samoa Missed chances cost us in this match, with several one on one chances going over or being saved. The only regen in the entire squad, and arguably our best player, Tomislav Grant disapointing and may find himself not on the first 11 next match. This result jumps us 1 plac up to 191st in the rankings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonaitor Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 3rd April 2010 April had come about, and with play offs already secured, it should not take us long to secure the title. Paul Booth and Dan Spence have returned to play for us against Team Bath. Another win should be on the cards here. Final Score from Twerton Park, Bath Team Bath 0-1 Havant & Waterlooville (McDaid 8) A small fianl margin doesn't tell how much we dominated this game. We deserved the early goal due to some sliky passing connecting McDaid to the goal. From there we had chances but could not convert. A big concern when Gary Holloway got stretchered off but it seems he is okay, and that we have avoided a big concern. In job news, I am favourite to get the Northampton job if they do not offer another contract to their current manager.

Saxonaitor Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 5th April 2010 In 2 days, several things had happened. We had a new addition in our squad, defender Mark Williams. He looks to be of quality but have to build up his fitness in the reserves first and that may take a couple of weeks. Another thing to happen was the sudden bankruptcy of Derby County. I will hope to accquire some of their reserve players on cheap deals, indeed I have a 2k transfer budget and £500 in wages to spend. The next Showdown was here! Crouchaldinho vs Saxonaitor Showdown 3 Final Score at Westleigh Park, Havant Havant & Waterlooville (McDaid 26, Hepburn 40, Jeaninn 60 Pen) 3-1 St Albans (Joynes 35) It's 3-0 in showdowns now Crouchy . A valiant effort by St Albans but they were no match for my Havant side. McDaid and Hepburn had arguebally their best games of the season. Joynes 18th goal of the season came from a supposed clearence for Docker that went straight into the box. Needless to say I was . Hepburn then scored a crazy solo effort and Jeaninn added a penalty to seal the impreesive win. Blue Square South Table 5th April 2010 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonaitor Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 10th April 2010 Not long now until the season is over and the championship should be ours. I have already Dorchester's table winning 79 points by 10 and Thurrock should not catch me. Next up was 3rd place Chelmsford and I was not expecting us to comfortably win, we would have to earn it. Final Score at The Chelmsford Sports and Athletics Centre, Chelmsford Chelmsford City (Godfrey 15) 1-2 Havant & Waterlooville (Van Den Berg 27, Booth 30) We have done it! We have comfotably won the league now, and still with 4 games remaining. A win here today that proved our stamina our courage to come from a goal down to the lead in under 5 minutes. But my first championship in FM09 and I am happy as it is well deserved. :D Blue Square South Table 10th April 2010 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonaitor Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 17th April 2010 I am being reconaigsned as a quality manager now,being linked with league 2 and several league 1 clubs. If I do leave Havant & Waterlooville then it is likely to be for one of those clubs in the upper leagues. However, the league season had to be finished first before I started to look for jobs. Final Score at Westleigh Park, Havant Havant & Waterlooville (Taggart 12, Docker 16, 39) 3-1 Weston Super-Mare (Mullings 82) We were scoring for fun in the first half with Docker getting both of his goals from direct free kicks. I basically told the players to back off in the second and we did so, although still having numerous chances. We let in a goal but in the grand scheme of things its not that bad of a loss.
