BoxToBox Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 January was not quite what I expected. One sale for 100k, but the Celtic game brought in a good 150-200k as well(I think). More than enough for me, definitely, got the budget to upgrade the one real weakspot in the squad, but also, gaining us second upgrades to Junior Coaching and Youth Recruitment. Reaching a very nice Good/Above Average combo. I actually can't remember how I found this lad, but happy with 100k, 40% of profit, and a friendly. Handy loan depth, we're super solid at RW, but a bit short on the left, which Annan can do well enough. Here's the big deal though... One of my favourite lower league signings in English saves, I was lucky he was listed for 80k and willing to come to Scotland, on a pay cut!!! Instantly turns our weakest position into our strongest. I reckon he's as good as most keepers in the top division never mind the third... Positioning needs a wee bit of work, though. Here's him compared to the keeper rated as the best in Scotland(via the Prem's season preview star 11), and while he's clearly the far better player, looking at key areas, Dawson is on par in Aerial skills, close in distribution, not too bad in communication, and shockingly a better shot stopper! EDIT: Shakes head... 7 goals, 5 assists, 2 starts...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxToBox Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Celtic played a much stronger, yet still not full strength side in the replay. Caught them off guard 9 minutes in, and played a counter 4-1-4-1 for the rest of the game, holding them off. Brutally attacking in the second half, maybe should have punished them, but a win is more than delightful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxToBox Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 We followed that up with another pair of massive cup showings. Contained them in the first match, 16 shots sounds a lot better than we really were, and Dawson was an absolute hero, saving both a peno and the shot that came on the rebound off it. Replay was mostly similar, they dominated, we held them off, even after the red card they were better, after they scored though we just went hell for leather and they couldn't hold us off. After taking the lead, I switched to a possession game,which they struggled with even more, and where most of our shots came from. The 3rd goal was offside, and shouldn't have stood.

BoxToBox Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 After making a big mistake. Sealed the league in April, and was given my budgets, had my eye on a bunch of foreign talents, who I bid for to see if they'd get work permits. They didn't. The problem? I had the chairman set to confirm youth transfers. He's confirmed them all. Summer budget gone, all on players I can't play other than a backup keeper.

BoxToBox Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Heroes, bloody heroes! Alright mate. They were the better team early on, until we fluked one in. That said, their first goal shouldn't have stood, their guy barged Dawson as he collected the ball. We got angry after that and switched to attacking and they couldn't hold us back. Once we retook the lead, we switched to possession, and controlled the game, looking out of sight after Marsh's goal. They score in injury time to give us a scare, yet, this goal shouldn't have stood either. Prskalo went down with a head injury, and the ref allowed play on, from which they score. Alright mate. Super Caley in the final, after they scrape past Rangers 1-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxToBox Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 We only went and done it! I thought we were going to be punished on penos, for or startling lack of calmness. 23 shots, 16 from distance..... Also, 21 fouls, you'd say they were lucky to only get two yellows, if they weren't both to the same guy. We were really lucky, honestly. as in this half of the season we could well afford to rest starters before the cup ties. Jordan Millar wasn't even the best keeper we signed, *shakes head*, Mroivili's goal was that magical volley. Zuparic(who just signed a new long term deal) is quickly becoming one of the best young forwards in Scotland. Kirk, earlier described as a "bizarre young lad" has turned into a beast at box to box mid. Few late season additions of note. Nascimento was found in the Cape Verde u-20's squad, despite having never played for a club. Half Portuguese too, so no permit needed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
