kccircle Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Back to back wins for Worksop! Utterly amazing considering its the end of Jan and we only have 7 wins under our belts. 6 points clear of relegation.

spankie Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hitchin Town welcomes new manager After their remarkable promotion to the Blue Square South Hitchin have welcomed Martin Bowen as their new manager. When interviewed by the local paper the new man in charge at Top Field has rubbished reports that he lied about his age to get the job. "Anyone who says that I knocked 10 years off my age is talking a load of tosh" says Mr Bowen to the reporter. "I've even got proof here" he says whilst producing a passport with that has a suspicious date of birth written in blue biro. Blooming game, that's age discrimination Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoham Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 If anyone wants to try, you could holiday for a few seasons, then do the reloading? Using FMM it seems reputation does change, though in March in the first season its not changed very much, only by a few points at the most. So it might take years to change to have enough effect.

Jordanknox Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Chelmsford-Blue Square South- End of Season 08/09 Update Well after a shaky start we won promotion at the first attempt beating Salisbury on penalties in the play-offs. This was mostly down to loan signings from parent club Colchester. Couldnt buy a win for the first few months of the season but as soon as the team gelled together we looked unbeatable. The best run of 17 games without defeat. Fans player of the season was Lawrence Lambley but Nabil El Zhar was the star IMO.

Wellyboo Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Merthyr Tydfil - August 2008 - Post-Pre-Season Update After starting with no players or staff, I quickly brought in a pair of scouts to look at any players who might know how to kick a ball. It actually worked out far better than I expecter, and managed to bring 25 players within just a few weeks. Pre-season went well, with scoring being no problem at all, although my defence does seem to leak a lot of goals in the later stages. It looks like I might of uncovered a star player in Charles Ademeno who managed a mighty 11 goals in 6 friendlies. Going into my first league game against Crawley, I was unsure how we were going to cope. However, a controlling first half performence gave us a 2-0 lead going into the break. With a comfortable win looking likely, my defence collapsed in their usual way... and the match finished 3-2 to Crawley - Results. Oh well, long way to go yet. My attack seems great but I'll definetely be looking to bring in some defenders. I checked my affiliated clubs thing again, and found out that my link with Cardiff doesn't benefit me at all (they get first option on my players, we get... nothing), so I'm not sure about getting loans in from them. Meh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aario Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Just lost my first friendly to my feeder club Their first goal came when their centre half swung a boot at the ball to clear it away from my striker just inside his own half and the ball sailed to the edge of my area where it bounced once and went over the head of the keeper I have (had!) on trail and into the net Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagurol Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Stamford - 2008/2009 - End of Season Report My first season with Stamford was a huge disappointment as we finished 15th in the league, mostly due to a horrific start where we didn't win until the 9th game. I got Peterborough as my parent club and they loaned me four good youngsters but despite being promising they didn't perform. 31 year old forward Jody Banim was probably my star player this season, scoring 16 league goals.

jamesf18 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Tiverton Town - Conf South -August 08 Pre Season Report Spent ages building up a backroom staff assessing pretty much every free transfer out there. Im not too happy with my sqaud and have had a horrible start to my career. Tranfers Squad Fixtures Got the FM legend Cherno Samba in on loan from the my parent club, Plymouth. Hoping he can bad 20+ goals to try and save me this season. Another notable signing has to be the 44 year old Guentchev with some fantastic mental stats but the wost physical. Noticed that my scouts and ass man seem to rate every player as a buy at all costs and seem to believe that every one of my players deserves a 5 star rating.

Alexani Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Game arrived today, and with the Merseyside derby out of the way, I'm gonna give this a go. I never completed it before, but success in Gundo's challenge over the summer gave me hope that I could finally complete this as well. Am expecting to face severe tactical problems from the start though, as I'm usually slow to pick up the finer points of the game. Holidaying as of now.

paulsgruff Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 AFC Hornchurch - Blue Square South - August 2008 I've just played my first game in charge after setting this game up late last night. I had nothing but youth players throughout the squad so I filled up my staff and signed as many players as I could get and still be under my wage budget (I'm £63 under it now). Full Squad (Excluding Youth) - Transfers In/Out (The only thing lower than the bottom player on the transfers is that I spent £0) I have enough players now to realistically be able to have a first and reserve team, so that's nice. My pre-season was okay, 2-2 draw with King's Lynn, a pretty embarrising 7-0 loss to Babelsberg, 1-0 loss to Bedford, 1-1 draw with Grantham and a 2-2 draw with Tonbridge. Nothing spectacular, but at least we were scoring goals and on most occasions not getting beat. My first league game was amazing. The match engine is just brilliant playing at this level. I'm glad we were playing Merthyr Tydfil though as better opposition would have punished us. Saying that, they did have the ball in the net on 2 occasions and both time the referee pulled play back for an earlier incident just before they scored, so that was lucky. But after one game, somehow we find ourselves sitting second It won't last though. Sorry about this update being a little long, my next one will probably be after December in game time and will be shorter and to the point. On a side note, does anyone have any idea where I could find the SS08 kits for AFC Hornchurch? I have most teams kits at this level and usually get them off FMGLive but they seem to have some kind of server error at the moment so I can't check there.

Alexani Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Can't be arsed to reload more times, so I've decided to go with Bedford Town. Profile Squad consists of 6 youth players, none of them very good. I settled for avoidingn relegation, and was rewarded with a transfer budget of 0 and a wage budget of £2.1K. Currently wages stand at £60 per week, so at least there's some room for signings. There's absolutely no staff, so that's priority number one at the moment.

Chao Yang Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Right then, my first monthly report as Hitchin Town manager: June report: Managed to get a full backroom staff by the end of the month and most of the squad assembled. Had some trouble seperating the good from the bad players due to assisstant's rating, but managed to net in a few youngsters who seems to be good prospects. The main prospect is a young striker by the name of Curtis Jackson who the assisstant and scout rated highly before and during the trial. The first pre-season friendly starts on 21st of July, hopefully my team will be fully assembled by then... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chao Yang Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 July monthly report: Full transfer history: Player Transfer Part 1 Player Transfer Part 2 Pre-season part 1 results: Not having a very good pre-season with the team struggling for cohesion, understandable considering they were just recently assembled... The first game was a dissapointing 1-0 loss against North Ferribly. The second game was slightly better with a close 3-2 win against Berkhamsted, a feeder club. The third was a 2-2 draw against Mangotsfield, woeful defending by the second layer team put out in the second half, both goals against came in the second half...
