Benjoe Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Great work last season! Third is impressive - going from 13th with survival on the last day to a 3rd place. Hopefully you can retain a top 3 position this season and settle yourself at the top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 October 2028 3 wins from 4, I'm surprised to win against ES Setif but then we lost at home to MC Oran where we really should have won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 November 2028 My 400th game 2 league wins and a draw sees us reach the halfway point in 5th place, just 2 points off of 3rd so we're not struggling too badly, we just have a tough run of games coming up. We also could have a cup run as we've drawn another non-league team in the 6th Round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 December 2028 Some tactical tinkering has seen us do much better against the bigger teams and it sees us move up into a Confederation Cup place for I think the first time this season.

Makoto Nakamura Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 January 2029 An easy cup win and a hard fought draw in the league to keep us on ASO Chlef's toes for that final continental spot. 3 players left during the transfer window whilst just the one joined, on a free transfer.

Pompeyboyz Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Quick question on Algeria. You have previously mentioned that you cannot sign foreign players to Algerian teams, but can you get affiliate clubs and get foreign players through your ranks?

Only MC Alger have a foreign affiliate in Malian side AS Bamako, but that's only for financial benefits so I have no clue if you can sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 February 2029 An easy win at home in the first leg of the...Champions League?! How are we here?!

Makoto Nakamura Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 March 2029 We lose out in the cup quarter finals but we've somehow made it to the next round of the Champions League after going 4-2 down on aggregate after 135 minutes of football to have one amazing half and end up going through 7-5! Our reward is a trip to Senegal to face Diambars FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Pre-Season 2029/30 A busy pre-season with the Champions League and we could still mathematically qualify for the Semi Final with 1 game remaining but I don't think we will somehow! Last season we conceded over 50 goals in the league so this season we'll be switching to a more standard 4-4-2 to try and concede less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 August 2029 A narrow loss at home to MC Alger which is very good considering the Media Dream 11 is the entire MC Alger 1st team...before the match against Enyimba we got message that Orlando Pirates had already qualified by beating Kaizer Chiefs so it really didn't matter what we did. So we lost 4-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 September 2029 Our typical slow start to the campaign and the only thing we should have done was have enough to see off MC Oran, we would have beaten ES Setif as well but they equalised in the 91st minute.

Makoto Nakamura Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 October & November 2029 Just the one game in October so I've grouped it with November, an away draw to USM Alger and then 4 wins has pushed us up to 6th but there's just 3 points separating 3rd from 8th right now so it would be very helpful if we could keep this form going!
