If your player was playing in the English league before you signed him it's not a problem, since you could have got a scout report for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs1979 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 hehe feel slightly harsh that this season is extremely strong compared to most tables. With 49 points from 22 games I'm only 4th & still 9 points away from Histon who are top. See people who have been top with 45 points at this stage let alone in 4th place Beating Histon 2-0 at home as we speak so hopefully they will lose 1 or 2 more after this defeat.

Spurs1979 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Don't personally think he's a good gk, he's conceeded 26 goals from 28 games but that's mainly down to my defence. I seem to limit teams to below 5 shots a game so don't concede that many. James Bittner is my gk but I'll probably replace him in the summer, I signed 3 who were all free transfers just incase I got a dodgy one & neither have progressed that well but my scout found 1 who he gives 7 stars to & his stats look decent so I might try to lure him this summer.

MoongooseMcQueen Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 You've got Lee Ellington? I picked him up when I started, he looked really awesome, but I just couldn't get him to perform at all. Picked up Jonathan Pringle as a replacement, never really looked back. King Clutch, that one is. Scored only nine goals over the course of the season, but I bet most of them were winners. My GK's Veiga right now, he's absolutely great at the N/S level. Getting on in age a bit though, and I'm worried about him for the Premier. I think I'm probably gonna replace him with my Irish backup by the end of the season. Most of my best players are coming off of the piles of Irish/Welsh schoolboy free transfers. By "most" I basically mean "all." One of them, Coulson (Couleson?) is slated to be a leading Championship player by one of my coaches. Exciting stuff, that. My parent club are Chesterfield, that's kinda rubbish, I'm probably gonna cancel that link and hope for someone better with our new reputation Pictures of everyone (moderately) important on the BSP's newest side, Ilkeston! Yay! Danny Cardoza - Very promising young defender with a very unpromising hairstyle. Not much else to say about big Danny, 'cept his goal came directly off of a corner kick. Like, he was the corner kicker. John Mousinho - It was surprising to see we had a League 2 quality player in the free transfer bin just waiting to play for Ilkeston for low wages, but there he was. Hopefully he'll stay with us a while, he's a very solid player. Jonathan Pringle - Legend. Jordan Savage - I'm worried with his pace he'll get completely devoured in the new league. Shame, he's by far our smartest player. And he looks like he should be punched in the face for some reason. Neil Douglas - He runs fast, he gets hurt a lot and my coaches all disagree about how good he actually is. Maybe he'll be a revelation, maybe he'll be pawned off to a Conference North side as we (hopefully) climb up the league. Richard Harris - Promising looking Irish fellow, arguably our best center back. He was peripherally involved in Pringle's promotion goal. Ryan Beswick - A very solid, versatile left-sided player who's done what has been asked of him. Not sure about how he's gonna do in the Premier, but it's worth it to give him a shot. Steve Lawrence - Probably the best player on the team. Absolutely dominates the pace of the game with his passing and mental attributes. Thomas Cooper-Richards - My only good loanee from Chesterfield. I'd love to have him back for a season, but it doesn't look as if C'field are renewing his contract, and he (understandably) doesn't want a full deal here. Veiga - Starting goalkeeper, I'm a bit worried about his making the step up. If I can get a particularly exceptional loanee or trialist in, he might just be on his way out.

jvovk22 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Just started this. First dafuge challenge - so I took a club with over 1000 rep. - King's Lynn. To be frank it was the only club that I felt comfortable with at once because of the name and colours. Just felt right Transfers of summer 1 Some may notice I signed Hadji. Really apologize for this minor blip - it won't repeat again. I guess I couldn't scout him, as he played in Luxembourg - but hope it will be forgiven. Noticed it after I signed him already and as it's my first time here - be kind Managed to sign all but 2 of the players on full-time contracts. Got 2 scouts, a coach, assistant and a player/coach Wage budget under control - still have 25pounds p/w left to spend Chose avoid relegation as the season ambition, as I had no clue how my team of free transfers would perform. Well - they turned out to be decent lads after all Standings after 4 league games Fixtures More than pleased with the start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Flux Capacitor Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Pre-Season update - Whitby Town 2008/09 Well it has all gone wrong. After success with King's Lynn (2nd in the league just after Xmas before computer crashed) Whitby is a completely different ball game. I have managed to lose all four pre-season friendlies v world beaters Ash, Barking, Glossop and Yaxley, conceding 10 and scoring just 2 in the process. The fans hate me already (I know what Gary Megson must feel like) and I dont know my best team (well, least worse team anyway), or which tactic to use. If we carry this form into the season proper, which is just a week away, we wont get a point all season. But then again I probably wont last til Xmas.

skeepe Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Yikes! I sign up 5 or so days ago, come back to the thread and there's some 18 pages of entries to catch up on... anyway, here goes the update! Hendon - October 2008 update Taking over Hendon, I notice that they have very few decent players... Bontcho Guentchev and a few regens make up the motley crew I've been tasked with moulding into a decent Blue Square South team. The board announce their expectations, and they don't expect much: battle against relegation. Fair enough. I upgrade the expectations and tell them that I definately will be avoiding relegation. Since I'll be sacked regardless if I fail, it doesn't seem like too much of a risk. Now, time to find a parent club. I'm offered Chelsea, but since the chances of any of their players coming on loan are probably slim to none, I plump for Crystal Palace and am offered what are probably still my two best players; James Dayton and Ryan Hall. To join these guys, I sign the following bunch: Hendon Squad Mike Garrity has so far been the star for me - an absolute rock in midfield and, apart from the loanees, my best player. The season started reasonably well, with 10 points from the first 6 games. My first ever goal in the league proper was this wonder strike from Craig Kirk: He shoots... He scores! Apart from that, highlights have included a come-from-behind 3-2 win in the Setanta Shield (we were down 2-0 after 89 minutes) and our amazing knack of turning certain losses into draws. Of course, one low point (completely my fault!) was the amount of easy injuries we seemed to sustain early in the season with long recovery times. That'll teach me to forget to hire a physio! Coming into the start of November now, and the dreaded inconsistency has started to creep in - I thought it would have been the other way around, but there you go. After being in touch with the leaders until late September, for some reason we started receiving floggings on a regular basis. As I type this, we have just turned it around with a new tactic, so all is not lost! Currently sitting 17th in the Blue Square South after a high so far of 6th, but still plenty left to play. Fingers crossed the success continues! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
