Also, what skin is that you're using? Cheers! Not sure, once we hit a decent level, we should be able to pinch top Welsh players off of big clubs, so I can't see why we won't go far. I began off using this... After a while though, a few wee niggly things bugged me, so I switched to a slightly modded version of the default skin.

BoxToBox Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Halfway through now, and in a truly marvellous place. Billericay dropped points again, so we have a chance to go 6 clear. Put in a cracking cup run too, Leicester will demolish us, but we should make some tidy cash. What we've done already has kept us just on the line balance wise. At one point we were 40k in the black, so I asked for another badge and a few upgrades which went through. These two lads joined during the season, too.

BoxToBox Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Another season kicks off, in fine fashion too, if we keep the pace we can make it 3 in 3. Scott Wootton's had a massive fall from grace! Low expectations, lovely stuff. Fair bit of business, though not as much as past years, one really big deal. Couple of important loans. Levitt is the big deal though, released from Man Utd, has the potential to play at a much higher level, and indeed is already considered of a League 2 quality. Squad's a tad overly bulky now. Jack Wilson's coming along ridiculously well. Lot of Championship sides interested, so he might actually have good PA, though none were bidding more than 5.5k..... less than half his value.

Never been any bids for him, and he's after a new deal, I'm holding off for now as we should turn pro end of season and he'd have to get a new deal then anyway. There were lots of clubs after Wilson, but he turned 17 in December so his pre-arranged deal kicked in and put other clubs off for now, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxToBox Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Youth Intake Day! The latest crop of warriors to join the army, and the HOYD's quite happy with them. Rees is listed the highest, despite the HOYD preferring Crutch-Jones, I like Harvey the best though. The keeper lacks positioning, something we can't yet train, the CB lacks strength, but that can be worked on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far worse players got regular starts for us. I've managed to squeeze two upgrades to Junior Coaching and Youth Recruitment in this season, sadly the 2nd was after the intake, but at Excellent and Established, respectively, we could start seeing some fine intakes in future. Might even squeeze another in before the next intake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, there isn't and I should be fine, you need to have so many trained by a club in England(7 or 8, IIRC), but most of mine do, and all from our intakes will count. 3 minutes ago, kingjericho said: They signed Pennant and Konchesky?
