kris0710 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 FC Volendam Jupiler League December 2015 A much better three games takes us into the winter break sitting top of the table. FC Oss were beaten well before a shocking show at Jong FC Twente saw us twice come from behind to win thanks to a goal from sub Luirink. Ended the month with a 0-0 at FC Eindhoven which saw us miss plenty of chances to win the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris0710 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Good luck man, Hopefully this is your year! Thank you, an honour to get your first post too Funny seeing Fortuna Sittard being in what should be a relegation spot but they're saved due to early season form! I was meant to comment on that actually. They have been shocking after getting 16 points in the first seven games just eight points in the next 15 games have them struggling. I'm sure i will end up in the play offs so they are who i want in the draw! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 FC Volendam Jupiler League January 2016 Mid Season Friendly League Great start to the second part of the season with three wins from three. Needed to come from behind and score twice late on to see off RKC while Jong Ajax were little threat as we beat them 3-0. Ended the month with a great 5-0 home win that included a hat trick from Muhren. Looking good for now, plenty of time to blow it. Transfers Just the once change to the squad this January, Keith Andrews joins after leaving Bolton last summer. Played all 46 Championship games last season as Bolton struggled and were relegated on GD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris0710 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 FC Volendam Jupiler League February 2016 Well look at that, earlier than normal we try to give the title away. On the plus side we have three teams chasing us hard and they are dropping points too. Despite the worst of months we maintain our four point lead at the top. March gives us 5 fixtures, four of which against sides from 8th or lower. The month ends at home to 2nd place SC Cambuur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 FC Volendam Jupiler League March 2016 A mixed bag of results this month has seen us stay in the title hunt. We have gone from leading to trailing to being just two minutes away from topping the table going into the final four games. Bit as it stands we play catch up and have two very tough fixtures to play. Started off by losing a 2-0 lead against Helmond Sport after Osbourne was sent off. Defeat then followed with Sparta doing what they do a lot against us and win. Needed a late goal from sub Fafiani to see of Telstar and struggled greatly to beat a lowly Jong PSV. That took us into the final game of the month in 2nd place, hosting the leaders. After falling behind we struck twice quickly to lead and take the top spot back but a worldie cross from none other than Rafael van der Vaart left the SC Cambuur striker with an easy far post header. A point adrift and we still need to travel to 4th placed Achilles '29 and host 3rd placed MVV. Final day sees us play struggling FC Emmen.

kris0710 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 FC Volendam Jupiler League April 2016 A bit of a turn up here, winning the two i expected us to choke on and losing the most winnable of the three. Started with a good away win that was made to look tighter than it was thanks to a 91st minute goal for Achilles '29. Almere fought back after we led and struck a winner with just two minutes to go and thankfully a late goal denied SC Cambuur three points in their fixture. Saw off 3rd place MVV after an early 2-0 lead we scored quickly after the lead had been halved. Another late goal made for an interesting few minutes. SC Cambuur lost at VVV meaning we are in control going into the final day. We host relegated FC Emmen SC Cambuur go to 12th placed ADO Den Haag 3rd placed MVV have a small chance of the title and they travel to VVV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris0710 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 FC Volendam Jupiler League The Final Day That ends the slim hopes of MVV.

kris0710 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Go on kris!Give it some boy. How are the youth coming along? They look decent... Done, at last! As for the youth. I have two in my first team squad. 2014 Youth Recruit Hans Kolk is my number two keeper and from this years intake Daryl Guerrero has played twice for me. Another youth player from 2014, Frans Lammers has been on loan at Helmond Sport this year scoring 4 in 12 games. On his recent attribute change all of his Technical, all but one of his Physical and 9 of his mental stats have improved. My problem is i now don't play with wingers and that is where he is suited.

Hopefully you'll avoid defeat as you obviously need three seasons to get a promotion. The Dutch Benfica. Oh, one thing I have to ask - can you post Achilles' transfers in the first season? I'm thinking of playing with them but I'm afraid I'll lose most of the players as they are all on amateur contracts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwakeman Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Congrats and another good story to follow but wow, the Dutch league system is just beyond mental.

The squad looks short of fitness already. Group C Started off in great fashion then drew with leaders Mexico. Went into the final game knowing a point would be enough for a Quarter Final place. Quarter Final After falling behind then having a man sent off i was delight with Hazard fluke goal to bring extra time. That 30 minutes were poor, one chance a piece then the drama of penalties. After Gerkens missed the first pen the other nine were scored and Chile progress 5-4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting the first PO spot in the second round they picked up just one point (against me). They faced Achilles '29 in the Play Offs and lost both legs 1-0. In a funny way i would have liked them to hit some form and get promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 FC Volendam Eredivisie Pre Season Club Expectations Eredivisie: Stay clear of relegation Dutch Cup: 4th Round My Expectations Eredivisie: Avoid relegation Dutch Cup: 4th Round Transfers A quiet summer mainly because the board gave me nothing at all in terms of transfer budget. Great. Leaving the club where five players all out of contract. I wanted to keep Sanchez but in January he accepted a deal to move to ADO Den Haag but it's me having the last laugh now. Daniel Didavi - 26 year old German comes in as Sanchez replacement. Lex Immers - An experienced all rounder who scored 9 goals in 21 games for Feyenoord last season. Could surprise me with performances. Wouter Corstjens - Needed a new CB and he fits the bill. Was solid in the Belgian Pro League for AA Gent last season.

kris0710 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 FC Volendam Eredivisie August 2016 After a good start with four points from two games the curse of the late goals came into play. A goal with 8 minutes left gave the points to sc Heerenveen then away to Willem II we were a goal up as the clock ticked to 85 minutes. Then the leveller was followed by a 91st minute winner to complete the turnaround. It was another stoppage tome goal that lost us a point at home to Heracles before we ended the month with a good point at Zwolle. Work to be done next month. Dutch Cup Draw Great draw for us.

kris0710 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 FC Volendam Eredivisie September 2016 The month started ok with a draw against Excelsior although we were 2-0 up early on. Defeat at struggling Achilles '29 was purely down to me. Decided to try a new formation and i just got it wrong, simple as that. Ended with another defeat, to AZ in what was one of our best performances of the season. We had chances but couldn't put them away. Dutch Cup Breezed into the next round as expected.

kris0710 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 FC Volendam Eredivisie November 2016 The Vitesse game crashed just as we went 2-0 down. Replaying saw us hammered well and truly and that was followed by a 90th minute winner for league leaders FC Utrecht. Ended the month with a fantastic win at home to Feyenoord. More of the same please. Oh dear Not the news i need a month before the transfer window opens. We were right on the wage limit so big changes need to be made.
