shaunvamos Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 2025 Preseason Another complete restructure of the first team, with a lot of loan players still, but the reliance is slowly fading. Shea Alves joins us permanently, and Addo-Antoine re-joins on a second loan. Central Defenders Wing Backs Defensive Midfielder Central Midfielders Striker An average preseason, but we push Dundee United and just miss out on progression in the League Cup. Still no pressure to succeed, I like this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 April 2026 Our great form saw us take the lead on goal difference, so naturally when that happened we panicked and lost. We have one game left, and of course it's against Dunfermline. We're at home, and a win gives us the league title. Anything less still puts us in a strong position for the playoffs though.

shaunvamos Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 2026 Preseason Transfers (Out) Our starting striker leaves for the Championship, but we get him back on loan. Transfers (Out) A few back-ended deals here (no way we spent 325k in one go) and we welcome back a few familiar faces. Brown has a second loan, and McAndrew joins permanently after his loan 3 seasons ago. Weird thing is, he only played one game at Raith and that was before we loaned him. They've missed a gem here. Central Defenders Wing Backs Defensive Midfielder Not too bothered about the results here, we were still getting used to things. I am under no illusions that we will get flogged in most games. I'm just aiming for 11th. We need to be better than Dunfermline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 December 2026 We still don't have the depth to cope when we have fixture congestion, and we felt that a little bit here.

shaunvamos Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 2027 Preseason I loaned a bunch of guys out just to see how much they can improve, but we had a heavy focus on bringing some fresh faces in, and they all look to be solid players. I've fiddled with the formula for WCBs a little (crossing has been removed as it's not a necessary attribute in my formation) so Peasland has been moved to the bench, but I'll show him anyway. Central Defenders Central Midfielder Strikers A very busy run of friendlies, and a 121st minute goal eliminates us against Molde. I'm not too downcast about it, we don't yet have the depth for Europe so I'd like to wait until we do. Last again. I would like to get into the Championship group again, just to shake off the effects of any second season hangover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 August 2027 Some big money moves, as both Davies and O'Brien leave for greener pastures.

Central Defenders Wing Backs Striker Our Assistant Manager did his absolute best to destroy our team in the preseason, scheduling 9 games in 22 days!

He now earns about 20% of our entire wage budget Transfers (In) Replacing him on a very backended deal is Ngonge, who returns after his excellent loan spell 4 seasons ago. A packed month to start the season, and our form in the league has suffered as a result. But the key thing to draw from this month is our qualification into the Conference League! We actually had to beat the reigning finalists Antwerp in the final qualifiers, so I like our chances.
