Things were going well until after the Lewes match when disaster struck. This was the player I was building my team around so this was a massive blow, especially since he had been on such good form. Knowing I had to replace him, I came across this gem: Steve Wright With three goals in his first two games it looks like I may have a replacement. the thought of having the two of them together later on in the season scares me.

Still going strong in the league although it looks like Rochdale are pulling away and I might have to settle for aiming to finish in the playoff positions. Squad Steve Wright has already missed three weeks due to injury, not really what I need when he is the replacement for my star player. FA Cup Results: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Legends 1-1 Brentford (4th qualifying round) Brentford 4-3 Legends (rep)</pre> Not a great start to the cups which hasn't pleased the board, hopefully they won't get too annoyed when I crash out of the other two cups as I plan to give a few squad members a game.

dafuge Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 November 2013 review - Legends FC League Results: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Billericay 1-1 Legends Legends 4-3 Aldershot Notts C 2-3 Legends </pre> League Table A quiet month where I went unbeaten but still lost ground on Rochdale, unfortunately it looks unlikely that we will challenge for the title this year. Squad After a poor run with just one goal in seven games, Steve Wright hit back with a hattrick against Aldershot. Craig Hunter has signed his first professional contract, signing full time for five years. His performances haven't exactly been outstanding but I think giving him plenty of games will help him so hopefully he should hit form next season. A small bit of transfer news, after making just one appearance defender Stuart Dolan has joined Hitchin on loan. I've also sold Andrew Ellis. I didn't really want to sell him but he was unhappy as he wasn't getting in the team and was put on the transfer list by request. He was on pretty high wages and Hayes & Yeading offered £85k (over 24 months), I would be pretty stupid to turn that down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loss to playoff rivals Hartlepool means I've dropped a place in the league but the gap to Rochdale has been cut to 4 points thanks to the drawing their last three league games. Cup Results: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Legends 1-2 Hyde (FA Trophy 1st round) Legends 3-2 Aldershot (Setanta Shield 4th round) </pre> I put out a very weak team for both matches as the league is my priority. Saying that it was a shame to go out in the first round of the competition I won in 2009.

Squad Jermaine is back on fire with 6 goals in 6 games since returning from injury. The bad news is that Chris Driver is unhappy. Doncaster made a bid of £240k which I rejected, he is now unhappy about not being allowed to move clubs. I desperately want to keep him, he has been running the game like Pirlo from the DM position with Jon Williams sitting in front him in the AMC position. My coaches think both of these players would be leading stars for any Championship side.

Rochdale seem to have lost it, losing three of their last four games. Hartlepool have also dropped points meaning I had a chance to make up the gap, it was just a shame I blew my chance to go top for the first time this season when I lost to Nuneaton. Cup Result: <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> Notts C 3-1 Legends (Setanta Shield 5th round) </pre> I didn't have much interest in this competition so the reserves were sent out again. Squad Not a lot of news this month, Jermaine Blackburn got a hattrick in the Grays match and I'm starting to wonder if Craig Hunter is going to be quite as good as I thought he was going to be.

Squad With six games left all I can really do is to try and keep everyone fit and happy so I go into the playoffs with good morale. I've already had to release one decent player (Leo Bartlett) because he was making a fuss and missing training. It's going to be tough as two of my games are away at 4th placed Aldershot and 1st place Rochdale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily results went my way but going away to Rochdale after two losses was a bit nervy. The playoff semi final has given me a tough draw, Rochdale. Despite looking like the team most likely to win the league, my results against Rochdale have been pretty good with a 1-0 win at home and a 1-1 draw away. Squad My main worry is the first leg at home to Rochdale, as you can see both Craig Hunter and Chris Driver have a one match suspension and will miss the game. Some good news - the board are finally pleased with the job I'm doing and have finally offered me a new contract, which they refused to earlier in the season. I could only get two years out of them but it is better than nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 BSP playoff semi leg 1 A fantastic result. The question is, do I go into the second leg and try and defend my lead or do I look for another goal to kill it off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 BSP playoff semi leg 2 Went out with the intention of time wasting and making things hard for them and managed to get a penalty which was scored. In the final I will be playing Notts County, who I have already played three times this season: League (away) Setanta Shield League (home) Not sure what to make of that, I played a weakened side in the Setanta Shield, the home game was in the middle of my bad patch and the away game was settled by a goal in the 92nd minute. Team news is looking good with just Craig Hunter set to miss out through injury, although Paddy Byrne has done a decent job stepping in for him in a few big games this season. The bookies are making Notts County favourites at 5/4, with the Legends as 7/4 outsiders. It should be close but the Legends are just one game away from the Football League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Season 2013/14 Review - Legends FC in the Blue Square Premier Since the playoff loss in 2009, Legends FC have suffered a torrid time in the Blue Square Premier, finishing 18th, 11th, 17th and 15th. It was my job to try and end this run and bring some pride back to the name of the legendary Danny Roberts. Final League Table League Positions Graph After a decent start I soon found that the club was going to achieve more than the top half finish I had set out to get. With two thirds of the season gone the Legends were genuine title contenders but things slipped and in the end we had to settle for the last playoff place. BSP playoff semi leg 1 BSP playoff semi leg 2 BSP playoff final The memories of 2009 had been banished, Legends FC were in the football league! A few interesting screenshots: Board Confidence Finances Club Info BSP team stats BSP player stats Transfers One of the reasons the club is in such a good financial position is my dealings in the transfer market this season. Not spending a penny on players and raising £165k though sales has helped to make a tidy profit of around £300k this season. The Squad Squad Squad stats Squad info GK - Andrew Matthews Signed on a free in 2010/11, this was his best season yet, replaceable though. DR - Jordan Connor Signed on free at the start of this season, he did pretty well and the coaches think he could be good enough for League 2 but I'm not so sure. DL - Anthony Dunphy Another free at the start of this season, I would look to replace him. He doesn't look very happy either. DC - Simon Holgate Signed in 2009/10, he was the rock at the centre of my defence. The coaches don't rate him that highly but I think he could step up to league football next season. DC - Craig Hunter I got quite excited when I signed him, not just because he shares ter's name but because he looked like an amazing 16 year old. Nearly a year on and I'm not so sure, I wouldn't sell him but I wouldn't plan your defence around him just yet. DM - Chris Driver Superb player signed in the 2010/11 season. Can play in a variety of midfield roles but I found that he was awesome as a creative DM. MR - Steve Beesley Signed at the start of the season as I like to use natural wingers, he did pretty well but he's replaceable. ML - Luke Sykes Same as above really, only Luke was more effective. AMC - Jon Williams Along with Chris Driver, Jon is one of the two best players in the squad. Signed by myself in 2008/09 he should be good for a few more seasons and like Driver is rated as Championship standard by the coaches. ST - Steve Wright Was brought in as an emergency replacement when Jermaine Blackburn got injured, did well but didn't quite live up to expectations. Finished the season off playing in a wide right role. ST - Jermaine Blackburn The best striker in the squad by some distance, just a shame I lost him to injury for four months. Was signed on a free in 2010/11 and this has been his most prolific season, despite the injury. Sub - Jeff Ross Joined the club last season on a free and was pretty awful, the only reason he's still here is because I couldn't find a decent left back. Filled in when Dunphy got injured and actually did alright but a new left back is definitely needed. Sub - Tim Phillips Original member of the Legend FC team and club legend, I'm just wondering what he did to get himself removed from the club's favoured personnel list. Did pretty well as a sub early on in the season but was pretty awful later on. Sub - Ken Hendley Another free signing this season, he had a decent scoring record but kept clearing off to play for Wales U-21s. He lost his place when Steve Wright signed and Jermaine Blackburn returned from injury. I've really enjoyed this season and want to thank bermybhoy for such a good idea Hopefully that lot is pretty useful for the next manager, the download link is on its way.

Spc1485 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Well done dafuge, a brilliant result to end the season. You've assembled a great squad, i though your signings looked promising! Wright and Blackburn up front look class, can we have a screenshot of blackburn? Him and Driver were my best two signings when i had my year, its great to see them doing the business again. Is Driver still unhappy or has the promotion cheered him up? I played him in a defensive midfield role as well and he seems to just control games from the middle of the park. Im glad the chairman didnt sell him over your head, 240k is quite a big bid at that level. Im due after elf, so if he doesn't turn up i will step up next. Hopefully he doesnt (no offence elf) as I fancy the first year in league two with the legends as a fair few of my signings are still at the club.
