Dave92 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Port Vale Season 2 - Squad Review Goalkeepers Two new signings in Trueman and Turner. Trueman was first choice for the majority of the season and largely performed well. Turner played the first couple of games, in the cup and gave him a chance at the end of the season. Not much between the two in truth, question is whether either will be capable of cutting it in the Championship. Plan likely to be to sign a young keeper who is not likely to start, but could then develop into a number one. Not certain though. Defenders The defence excelled. The most common back four was Gibbons, Smith, Thomas and Clark, all 4 of whom were superb. Smith topped the league average ratings, Clark the assist charts. Feel all four are capable of playing in Championship, but unfortunately Clark definitely won't be with us as he has signed a contract to go to America next year, a real shame. Would love to keep Thomas for a third season, but currently Burnley seem reluctant, saying they want him to play with better players. Losing both of those two would be a major blow. Neufville played regularly at left wing back, impressing if not quite developing at desired rate. Godwin-Malife perhaps didn't play quite as much as anticipated, but was another good signing. Youngster Estrada made a few appearances, mainly in the cup, and then in defensive midfield when Evans was injured later in the season. We definitely lack depth at the back, so expect a couple of recruits. Central Midfield As the season progressed, the midfield looked very different from the previous season. Evans was an exceptional signing and gave us great solidity, even if he did kick his way to 18 yellow cards and 6 games worth of suspensions by the end of the season. Jake Taylor didn't score, but made the box to box midfield role his own, and I expect both to continue to feature heavily next year. Tom Conlon was largely first choice in the Mezzala role and continued to play well, but hasn't developed as much as I hoped. By the end of the season he was regularly challenged by Romaine Mundle for that place, the former Tottenham youngster having been one of our best developers this season. Conlon is out of contract too, and we need to decide whether he will be retained. Burgess and Oyeleke both rotated in at times. Neither let us down, but both are out of contract and will leave at the end of the season as not at Championship level. I shall be eyeing up a high quality addition here. Wide Midfield Loanee Jordan Stevens was a crucial player and regular fixture on the right wing, with 13 goals and 7 assists. He also won countless penalties and is someone I think I may keep next year, either on loan or on a permanent transfer as he is our most talented player in that area. Cullen played in an inside left role and scored a remarkable 25 goals in only 37 appearances, granted a number were penalties. I'm shocked he has performed so well as really he is a League Two standard player. He is out of contract, so I have a decision to make there (advice welcomed). Worrall struggled with injuries but did fine when he played, he is out of contract though so will be let go, whilst Rodney scored 8 but has not really kicked on this season. Eddie Carrington broke into the squad, but then broke his leg. He returned for the u23s and tore his hamstring in the first minute. Terrible luck for the young lad! Robson made a few appearances and has potential, whilst 17-year-old Ryan Hall is a brilliant prospect from our academy and one I expect to become a fixture of the team in the future. Forwards Jaden Thompson-Brissett continued his superb scoring record, finishing as top scorer with 28 goals. He has excelled in Leagues One and Two, but will he be able to cut it in the Championship? We only play one central striker, so he was largely an ever-present. Cullen occasionally played up front, but the main back up option was youngster Nelson Agho. He scored 6 goals, but playing in the Championship will be a big ask. We may need some strengthening here and in general in the front three areas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeonflux Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Well it’s been a while since I last updated but I was able to get my Hereford team promoted to the National League at the second attempt and then took 2 cracks at the playoffs to get promoted to League 2. Currently nearing April of my first season in League 2 and we’ve already secured promotion to League 1 with Liam Cullen and a Regen called Nathan Dent leading the charge with 28 and 32 league goals and 40 and 39 goals overall respectively. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackem742 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Sunderland AFC season 1 summer transfer update Transfers in and out Very happy with the transfer business done. Ive strengthened the entire squad and cleared out the players who didnt want to be here. Fixtures so far Happy with the start, the only blip being the Carabao Cup defeat to Huddersfield but its a competition I wasnt expected to compete in and it was just an added distraction to the main goal of promotion, League table so far Good start, transfer window is now over and Im happy with the squad. Main rivals and favorites for the league Hull are already 5 points behind so im fairly confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robterrace Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 A rarity for me. A free transfer. This player was at Servette in Switzerland last season, and had been without a club since leaving in June. He has a very good pedigree, and with some remedial work, will be a good player for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smplfc123 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 So the inevitable happened. I think deep down I knew it was going to happen when I posted saying I wasn't sure where I could progress with Huddersfield. We had overachieved in our second season, but we didn't really have the funds and I didn't really have the pulling power with my low reputation, to entice better players to join us. I stumbled through pre-season trying to switch up tactically and eventually, fell out of love with save. However, despite saying I was going to go abroad next due to the recent struggles with the Brexit WP issues, I've been drawn in to having a go with Ipswich thanks to @warlock.

warlock Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Ipswich Town, Christmas 2020 This isn't my first rodeo in Suffolk - I've managed them multiple times in recent versions of FM including this one. The long-term aim is always to emulate the great Bobby Robson and lead them to European glory, but that dream usually dies under my lack of stickwithitness. So, no promises but we'll see where this attempt leads us... The squad is a little different after the winter update - a few more youngsters are out on loan, a couple of replacements are in on loan. Broadly, the squad is more than capable of reaching the board target of a finish in the playoff positions and should be strong promotion contenders. There are weak areas, made weaker by long-term injuries to important players, notably RB Kane Vincent-Young and forward Kayden Jackson. Generally, the squad is an odd mix of the very young and the very, very old. Transfer business On arrival, there is no money - no transfer budget and no surplus wage budget. So some departures are needed before you have room to make changes. A number of players were sold or loaned out to generate the funds: Not much in the way of transfer fees but anything was good and, more importantly, we freed up some wage budget. With one CB (Nsiala) departing, and another (Chambers) devoted to RB duties, we were light in central defence so Burnley's Richard Nartey came in on loan. Additional loans are a problem, because the squad starts with the maximum 5, but I had already decided to cancel the loan of LW Keenan Bennetts, and had the idea that Nartey would rotate with young Arsenal CB Mark McGuinness so they'd rarely be in the matchday squad at the same time. Which gave the possibility to address what I consider to be the biggest weakness in the first team: goalkeepers. According to the coaches, Czech Tomas Holy is the best choice, but while his 6'9" height gives him good attributes for aerial ability and jumping reach, these are more than offset by his bang-average mentals, reflexes and agility. There's also trouble in store because Holy and backup David Cornell both have "first choice" status. Having decided that the first to complain about playing time would be first out of the door, I set about finding an upgrade. And didn't find much. In the end I settled on Arsenal's Dejan Illiev, a GK who is barely good enough for Ipswich so god knows how he ended up at Arsenal. But he was available for a £5k a week loan agreement and arrived just ahead of the transfer deadline, which shows how difficult it was to find a likely candidate. I still have about £90k in the transfer budget and £11k a week for wages so there's wiggle room in January. Early form We started well, despite an opening-day loss to Stoke in the Carabao Cup, winning our first 5 league games. I employed a 442 and some variants as I looked for a system that would get the best out of the players available. With Jackson injured we were short of strikers, but I promoted Aaron Drinan from the u23s and he repaid my faith by racking up 6 goals and 5 assists in 12(7) appearances. But after that initial success, cracks began to appear in October: Our reliance on set-piece goals from CBs McGuinness and Woolfenden was a concern, as was our inability to claim the win against Crewe despite them gifting us a goal in the first minute. And November merely confirmed my suspicions: With the visit of Forest Green in the FA Cup, I saw the opportunity to try a 433, with the idea that a DM would make us more secure at the back while a 3-man frontline might help us break down the 3-man defences we seemed to face every week. Tactical genius, if I say so myself: That dodgy spell in November saw us slip down the table, but December has propelled us back to the top and I'm happy with things as we head into the new year. Some dealing will need to be done in the January window - Holy was the first with playing-time concerns, so he is joining Slovacko in a £42k deal. And the loan for Nartey will be terminated after Burnley were constantly on the phone complaining about my not playing him as a BPD, so he needs replacing. I'm not happy with either of my options at LB but I doubt I'll be able to fix that in this window. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Gary Speed Takes Over Swansea & Wales National Team Gary Speed started the revolution of the Wales national and this is a tribute to the great man who was took away too early from us. I downloaded a Brendan Rodgers tactic that replicates when he was in charge of Swansea years a go. Here is what it looks like. The most shocking thing about Swansea is that Andre Ayew is earning £80k per week which is ridicilous. I am determined to get rid of him asap and get his wage off the books. Finances aren't the best which is expected with only £360k in the bank and £0 for transfers and only £13k spare in wages. I am hoping to sell some of the older players to bring the wage bill down and give me some cash to buy some Welsh players. I am trying to bring in as many Welsh staff as possible to Swansea.

The home kit with the same black logo as the 2nd and 3rd kits, but white and your PV shade of orange/yellow/gold in stripes would look awesome if you ever fancy having a bash.

oakesypvfc Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Sheffield Wednesday - Championship - Season 2027/28 It began this season, and there was a lot to be cheerful about at Hillsborough. The Owls had signed a multi year contract with Mars to be their new kit sponsor and last season, they had begun to move away from mid table mediocrity with a very meritable eighth place finish. Could we take that step further and battle for those promotion places? The answer was a yes, after a long hard season, we would find ourselves in the playoff places after a win on the last day. The result of us finishing in the final place however, was facing off against a Bristol City side who had finished in fourth place, how would we go on? It ended in absolute heartbreak. We didn't expect much after not winning the first leg, falling foul to an 83rd minute equaliser. However, in the second leg, after 10 minutes, the tie was in our hands, we were 2-0 up but we blew it. The first goal came at the half hour point and the equaliser after 70 minutes. By hook or by crook though, no team could find a break through and we went to penalties. After 10 penalties taken each, Tyrick Mitchell stepped up for us and hit the post as we were knocked out, absolutely devastating. One more crack at it next season? As always, Ryan Whitaker was great for us and new signings Faia and Fagius definitely improved us. Swann was a little disappointing with 15 in 30(13) and we will look to improve the forward line next season, with several deals already in the works. Whitaker and Swann have renewed for us once again, but Davies and Helme will not join us, the wages were just too much for what they were giving us. Yet another big summer ahead of us as we aim to build on this playoff berth ahead of a fifth season in the Championship. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sheffield Wednesday Honours League Two Champions 2022/23 League One Champions 2023/24 Championship: 12th place finish 2024/25 Championship: 12th place finish 2025/26 Championship: 8th place finish 2026/27 Championship: 6th place finish 2027/28 (lost in playoff semi-final) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it was heartbreaking. You know when you're just playing a game and you know you're not coming out the better? It felt like that, especially after that equaliser went in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jogo Bonito Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Every game is like that for me at Parma in my 3rd season. I feel like a bystander at times rather than being the manager who can change it. I hope you are up for at least one more go. You'll be very pleased to finally make it.
