jsar Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Jsar - Chippenham Town - Vanarama Conference South- 2016/17 Table | Past positions | Squad | Transfers | Finances After an amazing start to the season with George Cater leading the line, that saw us go 10 games undefeated, in the end we had to get promoted the hard way via the playoffs and on penalties in the final! The Winter was tough with us losing a lot more games than we won and I started to think that a slump down the table was unavoidable but bringing Marley Bishop-Wisdom back off of loan for the final few months of the season meant we returned to our winning ways. Cups where both disappointing with us being knocked out in the third qualifying round in both. Unsurprisingly the end of Season Awards pretty much all went to George Cater, somewhat surprisingly as I hadn't won a manager of the month all year I did manage to pick up the Manager of the season award.

iseemonsters1 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Leamington - 2017/18 (Season 2) Competitions Vanarama National League: 9th FA Cup: 4th Qualifying Round (def. by Gateshead) FA Trophy: 4th Round (def. by Forest Green) A season of mid-table obscurity was more than fine with me after our playoff promotion last season. We bounced around mid-table all year, going as low as 18th early on and actually getting as high as 6th late on, but we never really looked likely to get involved in the fights at either end of the table. At the top, while we eventually finished only 4 points outside of the playoffs, it was never really on the cards. At the wrong end, the bottom four detached themselves early on and we were never even within ten points of the drop zone. In the cups, it once again took a replay to beat us in both competitions - and took extra time and penalties on top of that to dump us out of the FA Trophy at the quarter final stage - just when we were starting to think that glory might be possible. In 23 years of playing these games, that's one trophy I've never won. Squad and Transfers Club Overview | First Team Squad | Transfers | Finances With the step up to the new division, strengthening the squad was obviously vital. Most of our new signings came from players released by Premier League clubs - cast offs from such luminaries as Aston Villa, Everton, Manchester City, and West Ham added a little quality to the team, though honestly none of them would likely be good enough for life in League 2. Finances aren't looking great as we slipped into the red this season despite me being thrifty and staying £1k beneath my weekly wage budget. We could really use a good FA Cup run and a draw against a big team to keep us going for a few seasons. Jamie Tank (D C) - 38 apps (3 goals) - 7.28 average rating: After refusing to sign a new contract until the last minute last season, we were glad to have the Tank back at the heart of our defence, and once again the club captain proved to be our best player. Joel Coustrain (AM L) - 41 apps (10 goals) - 7.18 average rating: Brought in on a free during the summer, this Irish winger gave us some pace down the left hand side and added 14 assists to his 10 goals. Luke Clark (AM C) - 43 apps (9 goals) - 7.10 average rating: One of last season's new signings, Clark has really evolved nicely this season, settling comfortably into the advanced playmaker role in my 4-2-3-1 formation.

iseemonsters1 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 jsar - congrats on promotion! George Cater looks pretty nice - decent speed, finishing, and heading. Think he can make the step up to the next level? deadfncat - 17th is good enough, right? Give yourself some time to sort that defence out and you'll be in good shape. Speaking of which - 110 goals conceded? Were you on the end of some big defeats (other than the 18-1 obviously) or was it more conceding a couple of goals every single game?

Marchena Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Colwyn Bay FC - Vanarama North - 2016/17 My first season at Welsh Colwyn Bay was a success! We managed to do well in both the League and FA Cup. We did however miss out on luck at the play-offs. Overall a great start to the challenge. I decided to play fluid offensive football resulting in us dominating most matches, but also costing goals against us at devastating moments. In the end my philosophy is to play offensive football. League Table We were consistent throughout the season, pretty much always around the play-off spots securing the last spot at match day 42. In the semi-final we dominated Brackley in both matches, but bad luck and poor finishing ended out hopes for promotion in our first year. FA Cup A great run. We had luck in the draws and got all the way to the second round. Mansfield, who at the time was bottom of League Two, was however too big of a challenge. FA Throphy Nothing specific to mention. I chose to focus on FA Cup and the league instead. Notable events: Youth facilities upgraded - This however is a costly affair damaging our finances. Joey Johnson league topscorer - Joey was great throughout the season. He is however unwilling to sign a new contract at the moment. Poor kid is worrying about our finances. Career Overview Season League Position Achievements ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2015/16 Vanarama North 5th Loss in play-off finals Next Season Building up better squad and take a shot at promotion. I'm having problems extending my players contracts, so I'll have to be very active in the transfer market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_D_K Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Good luck iRomijn! Ashton has proven to be fun so far. I've just hit the mid point of the season, sitting 7th on 35 points (7 off of the leaders Nuneaton). Out of both the FAC and FAT, both in the final qualifying rounds. FAC I fell to VN Wrexham, so that wasn't too bad..... in the FAT I fell to a underdogs Glossop...which was somewhat humiliating. Oh well....leaves all the time for the league. Burns is sitting on 17 goals, and John Lesley van Engel (who started on my King's Lynn side in FM15) has 14 of his own. The two make quite a potent strike force!
