gordon_a Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Top Scorer: David Ball 17 Is that the ex Man City youth David Ball. Just got him to sign for my Ashford team in our first season, still obviously in the Blue Square South. I thought he looked a good prospect (actually my Ass Man said he would be a good player to back up my weak front line). If he can knock goals in up in the Championship I need to try and hold on to him for a long while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Gilbster - Eastwood Town - Premiership - 2054/55 End of Season Update Unfortunately this whole season left a bad taste in my mouth purely due to having to replay 3 games at the start of the season due to a crash and as a result I made it into the group stage of the Champions League but lost 2 points from the Premiership. I also spent most of the season with injured strikers, so I couldnt get any decent strike partnership going. Our league form was abysmal all season with our best run being 4 games won in a row including an FA Cup tie. It seemed to me that we would win perhaps 1 or 2 matches and then lose 3 in the league, hence we didnt manage to qualify for Europe this season. Our European form was a bit better, and I am proud of how we did in a tough group, and then in the EURO Cup. If I don't get a decent transfer fund for next season, I can see my decline continuing due to the prices of the good players.

daemonic Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 The icons and legends can be odd. The only legend is retired so no idea who he was. Of the 2 icons only one is still in the game and he's a 57 yr old Swansea fitness coach (with a firness coaching attribute of 9, otherwise I'd sign him). When I check his history he's been at Swansea since the start of the game:confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Apparently over 40 years in charge of the club doesnt even get you onto a favoured personnel list.

help!!! Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Boston United - League 2 - 2013/2014 This season our aim was to stay away from the relegation zone. We did that, in fact we did better than that, we missed out on the play-offs by bloody Goal Difference :mad: The team was the same as last season, as you can see with the transfers we made Our finances yet again, made massive strides and hopefully I can make these better, with better attendances next season. We were getting 4k when we were playing really well, we had a patch were we won about 7 in a row, and we got 4k about 2/3 times during that run, so I guess all I can say is bring on next season. Warren Gray carried the team at times and he wants a contract upgrade, so I guess he deserves it. Aims for next season We have a lot to aim for next season, but I'm also weary that with the team being more or less the same from the BSN that surely this can only be beginers luck so to speak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored consistently at every level so far and been top scorer in 5 of my 6 seasons (he broke his leg) I got a couple of his man city youth buddies in an effort to try and make the team hit off straight away and i think it helped. ball, mee, mcgivern all 3 have stayed with me for a wee while now though ball is the only one who still gets his game on.

PaulHartman71 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 FC United, 2022-23, League 2 League - 13th, Past Positions JPT - North First Round League Cup - First Round FA Cup - First Round A comfortable season, in consistency terms probably our best in League 2 yet. Transfers - The only proper transfer I made was to bring Lee Horton, my first ever Youth Project, as we needed to back-up and he was good and had decent wage demands. Elsewhere I brought in a striker from Villa on loan, the other was also a striker which parent club Tranmere sent me, he was pish, so was instantly returned. I felt this season that we had our best squad that we have had in League 2, and hopefully next year the players will get older and become more experienced. Our best players were: Josh Platnauer, Brian MacDonald & Jamie Elmes. Finances - Another loss, however 20K is nowhere near as bad as the loss we made last season. Still, it's not good and we can't afford to get further and further in the red each season.

Kertiz Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Started playing this again. Already posted about my first season, but in a nutshell I comfortably won the league and got promoted to the BSP. This year I found it tougher. for most of the season I was hanging around 6-9 points outside of the play-offs (to come 5th and therefore in the play-offs was my aim prior to the season). However a combination of some consistency from me and the teams above me lacking it, I sneaked in within the last three weeks and got 5th. Then lost 2-0 away to Dagenham and Redbridge in the first leg, but then beat them 3-0 at my place. Just thrashed Grays - turning into rivals tbh, I played them four times last year in numerous cups! - 5-1 in the final. My team played amazing. Into the league we go! Oh and I also followed up on last year's cup success (won the Conference Cup) by winning the FA Trophy, beating lowly Crawly 3-1 in the final. Sammy Rogers and Marcus Griffiths were beasts for me again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
