What I have done is reduce the passing levels right down, but still play Targget man instructions to head. This seems to be working. Im comparing it to my first season in FM08. My target man was getting 15-30 attempted headers a game. now, he barely makes 5 - 10. Over the summer, my team seems to have lost ability to play football.

Ah ok this could be it (it seems I didn't interpret the happiness correctly), yeah I'm still semi-pro amd he is on a part time contract. I have him tied down to a 5 year deal, but his morale hasn't ever got above 'poor' since his state of mind changed like this - which was back in September and I am now in May. Also now he has got unhappy he refuses to discuss a full time contract. Is he likely to improve in happiness (praising his performances hasn't helped at all) or should I just be looking at offloading him do you think? I've got several players disliking him now, which is annoying considering he is the only player here that is classed as League 2 standard in coach reports.

migwar Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Bedford Town - Blue Square South - End of Season 08/09 Well, well, well, this is different to managing at top flight... So I started the season with 6 youth players, no staff, no transfer budget and a little over £2k to spend on wages. Yep, definitely different It started with a promise to the board that I'd avoid relegation, but the media guys had different ideas and predicted a finish in 21st place. Thanks. It was pretty tough. As you'll see I never really got over the half way mark, but i equally never really threatened to go down. I had a couple of good rune, and a couple of bad. The worst was a run of 5 games where i conceded 20 goals and scored 4. My defence was shocking all season, with centre-backs who could neither run nor tackle, and two goal keepers who were only threatening each other for the title of 'worst signing of the season'. Going forward I was pretty good, scoring in most games, but never able to hang onto a lead. I got an early hit on the parent club stakes, and came out with Peterborough. They gave me a few left backs and a striker. They were greatly appreciated, but not too great. then in January I hit them up for a young keeper and I think he saved my season. He didn't do anything great, but he made the occasional save. In fact I think he saved more shots on his debut than the other 2 jokers ever managed. So the results: Final position So i finished 14th. A great run in with 5 consecutive wins made us look better than we deserved. As you can see here we never really threatened, but we've got a platform to build on now. Player Stats You can see that I built a pretty good passing game up. Those are my 3 rotated central midfielders topping the pass completion table. you can also see my top 2 strikers in the goalscorers league. Which brings me to my: Key Player With out question the only reason i stayed away from relegation was this guy's goals. Hugely consistant and a great prospect, I just hope I can hold onto him. So, in conclusion, i'm happy with my first year. It showed me a lot about lower league management and I've really enjoyed it. My plans? A better keeper and better defenders. If I can improve on thos areas I think I have a realistic chance of pushing for the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol' pineapple head Jason Lee has got on coming off the bench, and a recent loan signing Fairhurst has 2 in 3 matches so far. hopefully i can keep this sort of form up and push on towards the top. my wage budget of 2.5k per week is creaking and i need to bring in a few more players i feel. about to sign Eifion Williams to bolster my strikeforce. anyone had experience with him? is he worth £250 per week?? will post more soon...

paulsgruff Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 AFC Hornchurch - Blue Square South - Start of Season 4 (2011-12) Well last season majorly sucked. I thought I had a team capable of winning promotion but ended up finishing a miserable 16th - our lowest finish yet. Due to my annoyance at our terrible performances, I just continued on through the close season forgetting to take screenies of squad and league graph etc (it seems that league graphs from previous seasons still don't show when I adjust the year to look at previous league tables). Hopefully the new season can't possibly get any worse than my last effort. I will probably take quite a while to get through season 4 (I've had a major FM binge this weekend to get through 3 seasons already - work will interfere from tomorrow onwards). After being so fed up with my teams performances, I nearly totally emptied my first team, selling and releasing players where possible, and have built an entirely new look first team based solely on my scouts findings, my transfers could go either way really, the players I have bought in LOOK better than the players I have got rid of, but how they work together is yet to be seen. I will also be varying away from the standard 4-4-2 I have been struggling with for the previous 3 seasons, and will attempt a similar shape to what Chelsea regularly used in FM07 (mainly due to my lack of decent wingers). I wasn't at all confident about giving the captaincy to a new player (Jonathan D'Laryea), but 9 players gave a positive reaction to the decision, and only one thought it was a bad choice, so I got a rather lucky boost in pre-season morale there - along with a fantastic 2-2 draw with Portsmouth Reseves... who are Portsmouth anyway? So my goal for this season is naturally "Do better than last season!" My contract runs out at the end of the year, so I'm really hoping my side finishes at least mid-table to match the expectations of the board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
