Deisler26 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 THE SQUAD: JAN 2023 TRANSFER WINDOW TRANSFERS IN We had entries on the first and last day of the season. Markku came in on the first day of the season as we had to move fast to keep him out of the clutches of other clubs and Curtis was brought in as depth in a crazy last day. Markku will go out on loan next season as he adjusts to the English game. Curtis is an returning loanee. Not paying any wages for this level of talent? IDEAL! TRANSFERS OUT I wasn't looking for a deal for Caoimhin, but to make £1.25m profit on a backup was good business sense. We then had an explosive dressing room row over giving Stephy Mavididi a new contract. I assured the players that he wasn't getting one yet and four second XI players rebelled over the news. One was sent to the U-18's and the rest were banished to the Reserves and transfer-listed. These actions also required recalling of some youth players out on loan to replace the unruly players. I also had to scramble for a last minute loan as we didn't have a proper calibre AMC to take over from Labyad. Once banished, Kasim was offered out and was sold for £7.5m, a loss to what I had been offered, but I will not tolerate dissention. Jeremy was an extremely good prospect, but has been chuntering about a new contract which he had been denied. £12.5m sealed his departure from the club Zakaria was a good free signing at the beginning of the season, but after his show of unprofessionalism, he was pushed out on loan to France with a buyout clause of £4m. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deisler26 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 GAME 31 A lapse in concentration near the end of the first half and BOOM! We struck! We took the lead on 43 minutes when a Curtis Jones cross was headed down by Jacob McAuley, the academy full back making his first start of the season after being recalled from loan. Getting on the end of the knock-down was Callum Webber, who toe-poked a volley into the net. We then doubled our lead in first half added time, when Joel Grant's beautifully weighted chipped through ball allowed Stephy Mavididi to break the offside trap and finish with aplomb.

A throw-in near the right side byline was touched back to Sanchez and the debutant's cross was missed by two defenders who went up for it, but wasn't missed by Joel Grant, who placed his shot in the corner.

Undeterred, he dribbled round two defenders and slotted it past the keeper inside the near post. Worryingly, Isi has collected back-to-back 6.4 ratings..

Deisler26 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) GAME 38 For ONCE, we did to another team what is usually done to us. We were outclassed for almost all game. However, a long ball out from defence by sub Joao Victor found his fellow sub Callum Webber on the halfway line. He arrowed towards the goal and, when he was just 6 yards out, he fired a shot that the keeper fumbled back out to him. He then stabbed the rebound against the post, bamboozling the keeper so much that when Webber had a THIRD bite at the cherry, the keeper managed to carry the ball across the goalline for an own goal. Barely two minutes later, another long ball down the channel found Stephy Mavididi, whose run to the edge of the box was shadowed by the defender. Once he reached the edge of the box, he took both the keeper and me by surprise by hitting a snapshot across the keeper and it bounced and bobbled into the net to put us surprisingly into the lead and for good.

Deisler26 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 2023 YOUTH INTAKE It's tiiiiiiime for yutes! 1 great, 1 good, 2 decent players, although they're all in either goalkeeper or forward roles. Both of which are positions of strength by now. GK Michael Maher - He needs muchos work on his pace and mentals, but this could be the goalie of the future. AMLC/ST Stephen Coyne - Not entirely unsure that I'll not retrain this guy to a central midfielder, as there is just too much competition in his position AMC/ST Benjamin Nyarko - Benjamin is certainly more of an AMC than a striker, so he'll be trained there and maybe in the midfield too. GK Joshua Dobson - I'm guessing his ceiling will be to be sold on for profit, but I hope he proves me wrong. AMRC/ST Regan Batty - Much like Dobson, this guy looks like he'll be a possible breakthrough candidate, but could also just be a sale Again, a decent enough intake. No centre backs though.

anagain Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 That Coyne looks very good. Has the potential to be a very good link up man.

Deisler26 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) GAME 40 A thumping good win against a relegatioin-haunted team! We went down early, but equalised on 20 minutes, a speculative 30 yard blocked shot by Morgan fell to the feet of Harvey Elliott who burst through and rolled the ball wide of the keeper from close range. This stalemate continued until the 62nd minute, when we went absolutely crazy and score 4 goals in five minutes!!! We started the riot with Elliott's jinking run and pass seeing Mavididi free. His shot was parried into the path of substitute Joel Grant who slotted home. Three minutes later, it was a two goal advantage, Harvey Elliott curling a 20 yard strike into the top corner after Morgan had intercepted a wayward clearance. Wigan kicked off and attacked. It broke down quickly and substitute Adam Baxter hit a long counter-attacking through ball into the path of Stephy Mavididi, who beat the offside trap, drew out the keeper and knocked the ball wide of him to make it 4-1. A minute later, we had our fifth. Papagiannapoulos knocked a ball into the right hand channel for Harvey Elliott, who outpaced the defender and curled it wide into the far corner for his hat-trick.

We took the lead on 8 minutes after a great driving run and through ball by Kieran Dowell found Stephy Mavididi. He then shaped to shoot, but deceived the entire Derby defence by squaring it for the on-rushing and unmarked Harvey Elliott to pass into an empty net. Dowell again kickstarted the move for the second goal on 30 minutes. His run down the right side and deep cross was picked up by Isi who played the ball back into the middle for Stephy Mavididi to finish well past the keeper. We conceded early on in the second half, but barely a few minutes later, Harvey Elliott went on one of his great runs before providing a laser-guided through ball to Isi to finish across the keeper to restore our two goal advantage. Finally, on 68 minutes, a wonderfully whipped ball in from the left from Jake McAuley found Harvey Elliott open to head the ball home to seal the game.

We were already 0-4 down on 66 minutes when we scored our first goal of the campaign. A cross from the left was weakly headed out by the Man Utd defence and there was Joao Victor on the spot to hook a volley past the keeper. We battled pretty ineffectively for the rest of the game, but threw caution to the wind when a Man Utd player saw their second yellow become a red. Minutes before the end, a corner was cleared out to Callum Webber, just before the halfway line. He picked the ball up, put on the afterburners and blew past two defenders into the box, where he steadied himself and rolled the ball past the keeper into the far corner.
