Welsh Wizard Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 After 111 days without a job Athlone Town in Ireland make a offer. They are currently bottom(11th) with only 4 wins out of 33 games. 7 games left in the season. Hopefully get a few good results and try to improve in the next season. Athlone Town have won the top division in 81 and 83 as well as the league cup in 79, 81 and 82. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Wizard Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Athlone Town FC End of Season Update 2011 Table Results With the 7 games I took charge of we managed just the one win in the last game of the season which showed at the least we were improving. Credible draws and even losses but definitely room for improvement. Transfers Rodney Ubbergen Vincent Castell John Fitzgerald Dimitri Milon With the transfers I made I think we will be well set for next season but most of the squad is out of contract so could be a rebuilding stage throughout the winter but got a few targets lined up which hopefully I can sign and have enough wage budget to get.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 March 2012 Update Found it hard to get a decent size squad so strugling to keep players fresh and injuries are hitting us hard. Should of won the 1st game but somehow could not find the net dispite dominating at 1-1. Losses were fair and happy we picked it up at the end of the month to get a run of wins.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 April 2012 Update Run of wins came to a abrupt end with a 5-0 thumping. Just made it through the 1st round of the cup. Losses were very dispointing and now my job is insecure. Hopefully can improve and keep my job just feel injuries are playing a big part and think the board is being a bit unfair and not giving me time.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 May 2012 Update Short run of games in this update mainly after the following happened Sacked with the team in 6th expected to finish 5th by the media and board wanted top half finish so a bit that I was sacked so soon. Injuries hit hard and had 5 long term injuries to key players with a squad of 19 so fitness was a issue but was still hitting targets. On the bright side I have been sack just when Wales and England seasons start so hopefully get a job soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Wizard Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 August 2012 Update Great first game to start off my time at Chelmsford and we showed our intent for the season. 2nd Game should of been more than 1-0. Great turn around in the 3rd game which can be seen below. Disapointed in the last game never really got started and deserved to lose.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 September 2012 Update Great solid month. Could of got more goals in most games but we could not get out of sight in the 2-1s. Draw vs H & W was a fair and tight affair could of gone either way with them coming nearest with a missed pen. Advanced to the next qualifier in the F.A Cup after a emphatic win with a 2nd string side helped by a early red card. 4 more players in this month and I think they could be the last well for a while at least CB - Andy Dowie LM/RM - Sébastien Carole RM - Nicky Riley ST - Michael Ngoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Wizard Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 October 2012 Update A Great month again as we maintain the winning streak and make it through to the real rounds of the F.A Cup. Games where quite similar to last months. Trying to get games done and dusted with the dominance instead of tight score lines which add to a few tense last minutes.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 November 2012 Update Another Great month but the winning run was brought to a end with a loss to title challengers Sailsbury who sit in 2nd. Playing a bit more expansive and the scorelines seem to be widening. In the F.A Cup League 1 mid table side Exeter were push a side quite easily. Next up a tie vs BSN side Telford.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 December 2012 Update Another great month. Got in to the 3rd round of the F.A and will face Championship side Brighton. Should of won in the F.A trophy without the replay but through anyhow. High flying in the league at the halfway point let's hope it continues. Some great players in with quality of Lee Cook which is a shock he would come down to this level and Frederic Veseli who has great potential.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 January 2013 Update Another Great month.

Having quite a few young players has been hard with the amount of games as many need a rest quite often but just about making it work. Great show in the FA Cup and it's nice to see that the defeat didn't knock your team at all. Thanks Nice too know they are concentrated on the league and should be proud of what they have achieved in the Cup no matter how that game would of went.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Chelmsford 12/13 End of Season Update Results League Table League Stats Squad F.A Cup Fixtures F.A Trophy Fixtures Loads of players in and out with barely anyone left in the squad from where I first joined. Dispite the massive change in the squad we gelled quick and climb to the top of the league and never looked like losing it. Great cup runs and nearly made it to the F.A Trophy Final. Key Players Andy Dowie - Solid at CB and did very well at RB late in to the season. Harry Bunn - Started very slowly and went games without goals but then you could not stop him. Mark Roberts - Constantly our main player and finished the league's top scorer will be his last and only season at the club as decided not to offer him a new contract but even at 37 he could of offered a lot but want to go a different direction.

Welsh Wizard Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Unsure wether to jump ship after just one season at Chelmsford. Shrewsbury town which was quite a rival with my home town(which I can look past ) is open they were 10th last season in L2 expected 5th this season. They are okay in financial situation to Chelmsford insecure, have a decent squad and a few more signings and they could challenge for title imo and seems very likely I would get the job if I resigned so they don't have to pay any compensation for me. On the other hand signed a few more players at Chelmsford and I think we would have a very good chance to win the BSP and the F.A Trophy (Main XI is close if not better than Shrewsbury's current) What do you guys think?
