Season 28 - 2051/52 - VNL So we got some more seats installed into the stadium to put capacity up to 4,388 My giant 6'7' Cypriot striker who we launched balls at wouldn't sign a new contract so had to sell, got the 50% sell on ' Not bad first season in VNL We actually started well but the forced selling of Saava caused the form to drop off second half of the season Youth facilities upgraded again -

Think I did reply to you the other day, not sure if you replied back Have you tried friendlies against low league sides? Strip tactics back to basics Go a bit more direct, I tend to find drop in form/morale can bring silly mistakes from defenders (remove play out from the back) Use players with good personality and determination Sometimes you just have to grind it out and wait for a change in fortune -

Season 18 - 2041/42 Another promising youth intake preview The intake was very good with lots of elite talents. The improvement in facilities is now starting to have a positive impact. We are also not in rented youth facilities The League form not really improved We started ok but formed dropped off and finished 16th Lets hope some of these new young players coming through can have an impact soon -

Season 16 - 2039/40 A bit to catch up on Slightly better season and we started well, lost one in 13 before the FA Cup 2nd Round Sat just in the play offs in November Then we lost to Rotherham in the FA Cup 2nd Round (furthest we had been since the 2nd season!) That then resulted in a terrible run of TWO wins in the next 19 games We managed to improve the Youth Facilities and Junior Coaching during the season We actually made some money as well
