Pau FC - Season 20: 2034/35 Ligue 1

We were third again this year. Appear to be closing in on Monaco in 2nd place though.

First ever win of the Champions Trophy with our second ever win over PSG in all competitions.

Got to the final of the Coupe de la Ligue again but couldn't get past Monaco.

It went to penalties and was a nervy game but we managed to retain the French Cup.

Very disappointing to go out at the group stage of the CL, thought i'd got a good draw and under-estimated Ajax who are managed by none other than Pep Guardiola.

I thought we were out when we drew Juventus but they weren't actually that great and we managed to get all the way to the Semi Final, we actually won the first leg 2-0 thanks to a Jardin brace but then went and lost 3-0 in Munich to get knocked out.

Got in Moses Njou who is a new CB, Coppo who is a DM and Bonacina who is a CM. Bonacina spent most of the season injured. Lopez was brought in when I was desperate for a new striker cause we had loads of injuries, got Lopez in on a BOSMAN then was able to buy him then and there and he was pretty good.

Squad pt 1, Squad pt 2

Lopez was a great January addition, Moses was good at CB and a great year for Jardin.

Finances

Not sure how ****ed over I am by not making the knockout stage of the CL. Should look better when I get next years CL money through. Dunno how much transfer budget i'll have this summer though.

Summary A decent season as he cements himself as at least a rotation option to the first team

Others

  • Dylan Gerard was breaking into the first team as well and was getting occasional games until he broke his leg. It will be interesting to see if this hurts his development, hopefully not.

Pau FC - Season 21: 2035/36 Ligue 1

75d9f0e80ca85324672f1da7b8414989.png

Our best ever season as we secured a second place finish for the first time. Still some way behind PSG though. It was a relatively disappointing season even with finishing 2nd though as we failed to win any trophies at all.

5a03c901813c80989924774019fd9e52.png

A disappointing loss to PSG.

dcf9add904ade8f4a07603e257198247.png

We were kicked out at the semi final stage by a rampant PSG.

Eliminated very early by Monaco.

We came so close to getting out of a pretty tough group but ended up 3rd again.

Another great Europa League run was ended in the final by Napoli again. We should have scored so many in the final and it could easily have been 5-4 to us.

Moses left for £20M after just one season.

dd1c20cb701c85e8ad4efa6768226b0c.png

Bjorn Danielsson came in as rotation LB/CB. Pedersen came in as back up CB and Prokoshin was brought in to replace Moses at CB. Sorensen came in as rotation ST and Borja was signed up a back-up GK.

Squad pt 1, Squad pt 2

Prokoshin was good at CB, Dylan Gerard did well at CAM in his first full season. Jardin had an okay year, with Lopez finishing as top scorer.

Finances

Looking slightly healthier should get a relatively decent budget in the summer.

Others

  • Not really anyone else coming through. There's a few guys that are used as emergency back-up but I don't see any of them being here that long. Dylan Gerard the last decent guy i've had come through and the last few intakes have been pretty crap.

PSG have had a mare this season after Brendan Rodgers retired in the summer. Ronny Deila's been poor in Ligue 1 and has seen PSG nowhere near the heights they have been. We've had an absolutely incredible league campaign so far, but unfortunately for us, Roberto Martinez has managed to guide Monaco to an even more incredible one as they sit above us comfortably on goal difference. They've not seemed like dropping points for weeks, but we got a massive 2-1 win against them at home in the penultimate game of the season (thanks partially to them being knackered from their midweek CL semi against Bayern Munich) which has now set up a grand-slam finish.

We have a very winnable home tie against 11th place Havre who have nothing to play for, whilst Monaco must go away to Lyon who themselves have to win if they are to ensure themselves a place in the Champions League next season. It's really interesting because the top 4 teams will all get CL football this season. Nantes are at home to bottom place and already down SM Caen, so you'd back them to win that. PSG are at home to 8th place LEMANS FC, with the way they've been playing this season there's no guarantee they win that. Then Lyon of course have the Monaco game. Though there's more for Lyon and PSG. Lyon are in the Europa League final and so they could secure CL football if they win that. And then PSG are in the Champions League final, so they could secure CL football by winning that, their opponent? None other than Monaco.

Hoping against hope that Lyon can get something at home to Monaco and we can have a Pau FC/Vincent Jardin equivalent of the Man City/Sergio Aguero title win :D Gonna be a stressful game that's for sure!

As soon as Lyon scored that penalty to put themselves 2-0 up I took off my two relatively attack minded central midfielders in favour of two much more defense minded ones and parked that contain bus Mourinho style :D

A massive points total for us in a massive year.

7a365f99b677f99e90d4e103198edd02.png

It didn't start off so promising though as we almost lost 4-0 in the Champions Trophy final, we pulled it back to 4-2 late on but was still a poor start to the season.

4811c4db9e9e671a188f66ee858c31c0.png

A decent run but ultimately couldn't get past Lyon despite taking an early lead.

ed73bfbfdee0858fa4756881331b57f4.png

A fantastic run to the final with the 4-2 come-back victory away to PSG being the highlight. Sorensen was on fire in the semi and the final.

e9de8e4d7fee003e52726700f889aeb1.png

We made hard work of a relatively easy group but aside from Juve none of the teams really troubled us.

a79e4652fe66e6afa902312965ce8262.png

We sneaked past Atletico and had some hope going into our away game with Barcelona but they out-classed out at the Nou Camp.

599585970590a79fc0219fd5d0d561d7.png

Stock joined to be new first choice RB, Moyano came in as an exciting CM/CAM prospect, Westerlund came in as rotation LB/CB and Lashley came in as 3rd choice GK when our 1st and 2nd choice got injured over the festival period.

Squad pt 1, Squad pt 2

It was a pretty mad season. Olivier Da Costa broke his leg in pre-season which lead to the new RB getting even more games than I imagined, Da Costa only managed 2 games all season as a result of his injuries and subsequent inability to return to fitness. An injury crisis at GK saw us end the season having used 4 different keepers throughout a season that saw us do a domestic double! Overall though for the first time we had a great squad full of decent depth and cover options in all positions which was key in our success. The key players in this massive year for us were Daniil Prokoshin at CB; Paolo Coppo at DM; Dylan Gerrard at CAM, and then the two stars of the season were Vincent Jardin and Kent Sorensen. They've formed a sort of poor mans Bergkamp/Henry partnership up-front this season. Jardin finished the year with 26 goals and 20 assists, whilst Sorensen grabbed 31 goals and 15 assists.

Summary: He broke his leg and barely featured at all this season as a result of it. He's really unhappy at a lack of game time but it's not my fault he's not been able to get back to fitness despite playing with the reserves a bit. Be interesting to see if he stays this summer.

Summary Had a bit of a Jack Wilshere feel about him this season. He looked alright in a few games but then got injured. He came back and got injured again. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come and next season he can stay fully fit. It will not be easy for him to break into a title winning midfield though.

Summary: He played an important role in a domestic double winning side this season. He can be a massive part of the club's future if he continues his development.

Others

  • Armel Mutombo played an important role in an injury ridden midfield this season. Despite only starting 5 games, he was a substitute in 17 games and he was very useful in games where I wanted to go more defensive later on and ensure a win. I don't think he's good enough to have a future at the club, but in a season where we couldn't afford to get in more depth at DM and we had injuries elsewhere - he was an unsung hero.
