Deisler26 Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) TRANSFER NEWS End of a fraught window for the club. We had three players come into the club during the window: Vicente Blanco was signed for £300k from Elche C.F as a good prospect to balance our our 30+ aged centre backs. Give him a season at U-18's level and we can then loan him out. We also had a real issue with our goalkeepers, with Ben Amos making too many mistakes and Dillon Phillips wanting to be paid above his station. So we loaned in Jordan Archer from Fulham to provide cover for the rest of the season, as I was looking to sign some free agent goalkeepers in the close season. We also had a scout in Denmark and he recommended a young goalie from Hvidovre IF, Filip Djuric for £15k. He's raw, but has plenty of time to develop and could, conceivably make the first team spot his own in a few years We also had our near misses Both would have been vital cogs in our squad. Andrija Balic agreed a deal with us, but took more money to stay at Udinese. Thierry Ambrose was on loan at a French club with a view to buy, but due to English contract rules, we were powerless to offer him a contract when Valenciennes FC came in. In terms of players leaving, Ben Amos signed a pre-contract with Nashville SC and would be our backup for the rest of the season. Also leaving was goalkeeper Dillon Phillips who moved to Derby County for £750k. Going out on loan to Millwall was defender Deji Oshilaja.

Deisler26 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 GAME 30 A goal within the first minute settled this. As has been so often this season, Forster-Caskey out to Page, who's cross was stooped and headed in by Troy Parrott. After the Barnsley red, we should have sealed the deal, but our finishing was wayward. Standings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 GAME 35 Another frustrating result. We opened the scoring, thanks to Macaulay Bonne's driving run and perfectly weighted pass into the path of Fola Balogun who placed his shot wide of the keeper and into the net! Barely two minutes later, a cross from the right was headed down by Andre Green and Fola Balogun reacted quickest to slam the ball into the roof of the net. Sadly, Andre Green's straight red for a bad tackle put us under pressure and we conceded the equaliser at the death to stiffle our momentum.

A triple sub and formation change early in the second half turned it around and a burst forward from Lyle Taylor saw him play in Fola Balogun and he made no mistake up close, rolling the ball between the keeper's legs to cap a great turnaround and put us back (temporarily) into a playoff spot!

As you can see, we only have the one standout of this intake, a speedy winger which could indeed help as as soon as next season! He'll become a good option on the right and hopefully won't leave any time soon!!

Deisler26 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) GAME 41 A very satisfying win. The South London Derby was a thumping for our opponents. We rocketed out of the gates when Lewis Page's clipped cross found Fola Balogun at the far post and with who's shot, the Millwall keeper should have done better. Balogun turned provider with 20 minutes to go in the game, nodding down a throw-in for Albie Morgan to put his foot through the ball and smash it low into the net. Dithering in the Millwall defence meant that Troy Parrott was able to nip in, dispossess the centre back and run through free to slot home into the far corner. In the dying moments, Parrott turned provider, heading down a JFC corner for Albie Morgan to absolutely roof it from 3 yards away.

It took until the second half, but on 58 minutes, Troy Parrott escaped down the right hand flank and crossed the ball to Macaulay Bonne who sidefooted home to open the scoring. Ten minutes later, a badly-cleared corner was sent back into the box by Van Weert. The ball in found Albie Morgan who finished well to double the lead. We wrapped it up just five minutes later, Macaulay Bonne finishing into an empty net after the Reading keeper parried Morgan's shot.

Deisler26 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 GAME 45 A first senior hat-trick for midfielder George Lapslie gave us the win here. His opener was a shot hooked into the net after a rebounded shot came to him, off-balance. His second, however, was a thing of beauty, a full-on thunderous strike that fairly ripped into the net past the keeper. He collected his hat-trick in scrappy fashion as his goalbound header was blocked, but he was alert enough force home the rebound. Standings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deisler26 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 GAME 46 WOWOWOWOWOW!! Talk about a smash and grab!! Leeds dominated us all game, but a wild clearance from the Leeds right back was headed into the path of Troy Parrott who made no mistake, sending the ball wide of the keeper to give us a shock lead. Albie Morgan's sending off for a second yellow worried me and we battened down the hatches and (luckily at times) tried to fend off Leeds. Getting closer to the end of the match, Leeds were getting increasingly desperate. One such symptom was overloading at corners and when one was cleared in the 81st minute, Troy Parrott picked it up and made a 75 yard run, brushing past the challenge of the last man and then beating the on-rushing keeper to double our lead!! Wonderland!! We conceded very late on from a corner, but you couldn't deny us a famous win!! Playoffs!!! Final Standing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 2020/21 Pre-Season This is the first team picture going into the next season. We have no first team keeper, so that is a priority. We also don't have a first-team Mezzala, although we have a number of players that could step up during the pre-season friendlies. We're running very light up front with no cover at AML or ST. Cover is a major issue coming into this season as we don't have cover at RB or DM either. It's going to have to be second priority behind a first team goalie.

Deisler26 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 THE SQUAD: AUG 2020 TRANSFER WINDOW Well, we had a productive transfer window. Signing a feeder club contract with Liverpool meant that we could raid their youth team for some gems for no cost at all! We signed Rhian Brewster, Curtis Jones and Ki-Jana Hoever from parent club Liverpool for no wage contributions. Coming into the youth team for development was DC Adam Baxter (Colwyn Bay, £37k), DR Casey Willis (Leeds United, £600k), MRL/AML Lucas Orneborg (FC Kobenhaven, Free) and DRLC Dafydd Roberts (Barry Town, £44.5k) So in real terms, we only had four players actually coming into the first team squad; A desperately needed GK, Kieran O'Hara signed on a free from Manchester United, two challengers for the left wing spot in Spanish winger Isi who came in on a free from Rayo Vallencano and young Danish prospect Mohamed Daramy, picked out by our Denmark scout. Finally, we bolstered our defensive corps with the signing of centerback Matty Foulds on a free from Everton.Le Leaving the club, we had centreback Tom Lockyer signed by MIddlesbrough for £2m, midfielder Johnny Williams went to the USA and Nashville FC for £6.25m and finally DC Jason Pearce was sold to Portsmouth for £250k.

Deisler26 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) GAME 1 A frustrating, yet decent point against the recently-relegated side. We were under the cosh early, only to be brought back into it with an out-of-this-world 30 yard volley from Ben Purrington. Just seven minutes later, a burst into the area by Ki-Jana Hoever saw him pull it back to Curtis Jones whose off-balance strike nestled in the far corner. Sadly, we couldn't keep up our level of play and ended up being beaten. bb9f499dda7d5de515dc65f0b5c3d7f1.mp4 Edited July 25, 2020 by Deisler26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then laid it back off to Jones, who broke into the left hand channel. He then cut it back for Jake Forster-Caskey to fire home from the edge of the box. An brilliant counter attack.

Erhun Oztumer extended the lead on 66 minutes, curling the ball past the keeper from 20 yards after good work by Jones on the right. We were sucker-punched late on to concede, but held on.

He took two steps and fired a low shot from 20 yards that whipped into the bottom corner of the net to equalise!
