shaunvamos Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) December 2022 We would've had 3 wins from 3 if we didn't blow a 2-1 lead at Sochaux, where they scored 4 goals in the final 10 minutes in a true capitulation. We're on the cusp of escaping the relegation zone, and we have Chateauroux at home to open our account in 2023. It will probably be the definitive game in setting the tone for the relegation race. An average intake for an average side. Edited March 6, 2022 by shaunvamos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 April 2023 A pretty funny month, as evidenced by the HAHAHA fixture sequence.

shaunvamos Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 A strong end to the season, and on paper we survive comfortably. In reality though, this was a tough slog, in no small part due to converting almost everyone in the first team to positions they hadn't played before, leading to some cohesion issues. But as the second half of the season approached and they gradually got used to where they were playing our form improved. We're going to have an extra 100k or so a month to spend on strengthening the squad which will definitely be used. Hopefully we can have a better season where relegation is not even entertained.

shaunvamos Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 2023 Preseason A busy month, with some familiar names from previous saves cropping up like Mbock and Hottmann. Centre Backs It's a new look back three, with loanees Retu and Mbock joining on loan from Real Madrid and Metz respectively, and former Mainz man Ahmet joining on contract expiry.. Left Wing Back Hadjam is not as good as our previous loanee Bueno, but he knows how to play the position which will save us a lot of time. Central Midfielders Dupont joins us again for another loan after his successful one last season, and Valencia product Alejandro Salas becomes our first player that joins the club for a transfer fee. Strikers A couple of good strikers with decent Holy Trinities for this level, and they should hopefully have a good season. A short preseason, but I'm happy with the win over Jong PSV. Not predicted last, but I think we can push for the top half this season if all goes to plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) July/August 2023 A busy opening to the season, and a pretty disastrous one until the last 2 games of the month.

shaunvamos Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 September 2023 A strong month, but slightly deceptive as our first two games were against the promoted sides.

shaunvamos Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 March 2024 A couple of solid defensive efforts against strong teams sees us hold position in the playoff spots, with the possibility of jumping into the automatic spots should we keep this form up.

shaunvamos Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 April 2024 We were blessed with a lucky fixture list this month, as we win all our games except against top team Nimes. We're in an automatic promotion spot, but our last two games are against Valenciennes (H) and Guingamp (A). We have Paris at home to kick the month off, but I think the game against Valenciennes will determine our finishing position for the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 We did our best, winning both of our home games including the crucial one against Valenciennes to go top of the league. It came down to the last game. We had 71 points, Nimes had 70, Brestois had 68. 4th place Guingamp were not getting any higher with 64 and so were out of the race. Nimes were away to 15th placed Chamois Niortais, and Brestois were at home to 18th placed Le Havre. The odds were certainly against us. It was obvious the players knew it too, as we faltered to lose our game, meaning that if Nimes at least drew and Brestois won we would be pushed down to 3rd on goal difference with everyone on 71. It was out of our hands. Chamois put in the performance of the season, ignoring the fact they had half the xG Nimes did to win 2-0, meaning we had secured at least second and automatic promotion. But we were only going to go second, right? Wrong. Unbelievably, we won the league in just our second season, securing promotion to Ligue A and finishing the redemption journey nearly 100 years in the making. The key now is to stay there and reap the rewards. With an inflated wage budget and some transfer money to spend, we'll do our absolute best.

shaunvamos Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 2024 Preseason Revamped and reinforced the squad, which we had to do if we don't want to get flogged in every game. There's no guarantee that won't happen, but with these players we'll be more competitive. Goalkeeper We have a huge upgrade in the goalkeeper department in the form of Schneller, a whole 5 points stronger than our previous number one Brugger. His affiliation with Bayern meant he didn't come cheap, but I hope he'll be worth the investment. Centre Backs It's another brand new backline, with 2 of the 3 players not knowing how to play there. But their attributes are designed for them to play there, so here's hoping they learn quickly. Wing Backs Once again 2 guys who don't know how to play their assigned position, but the attributes suggest otherwise. Strikers Two of our most exciting buys, former Real Madrid product is expected to be our main goalscorer, but 18 year old Siaka Traore looks real special. A player like that playing in the Spanish 4th division, where he was inexplicably released (probably refused due to the club standing), and we managed to pick him up on a free and he's into Ligue A. An unbeaten preseason, but it was all about getting these new guys used to their positions. This prediction should not come as a surprise, but we're better than the teams promoted alongside us, so 16th is the goal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 2025 Preseason A little more reliance on loans this season, but everyone that's joined is equally important. Centre Backs Again, it's virtually a new defensive line, but these guys dwarf our previous line. They're primed for good seasons. Right Wing Back The young Spaniard made zero appearances for Zurich last season, but he'll be a first teamer here. He's taking to learning his new position pretty quickly too. Defensive Midfielder This is probably my favourite signing of the season so far. Bought by a second tier Polish side for $160 from Mainz, he now starts in the 5th best league on the continent after we buy him for 16k. He's got all the right attributes for a DLP, and I'm excited to see him develop. Central Midfielder 18 year old Luxembourger Oliveira takes the odd route of being loaned to a side two divisions above the club he actually plays for. But he absolutely deserves it. Striker Lopez joins us for a second loan stint. A top notch preseason, very positive for the season now! This is less positive, but we've defied the odds before.
