December 2027

November 2027 A surprise loss against Redon but probably deserved in the end. A comfortable win in the cup to advance to the 8th Round where we will face Aigues-Mortes. Only one goal was needed to down Toulouse 2, in an even game that we edged. A Mickael Fari hattrick sealed the three points and took his tally to nine for the season. Montpellier 2 remain unbeaten.

He looks class, I would love to have someone as half as good as him to pop through at the club. I look forward to seeing any more that come though for you.

October 2027 A goal-fest of a month with 16 scored in four games, albeit 11 of those coming against smaller clubs in the cup. A probably expected loss against Montpellier 2, Salles breaks the club goalscoring record with four goals against Pertuis and another two against APM Metz. Montpellier 2 opening up a gap at the top.

September 2027 A great month with three wins from three. Fari should have had a hattrick against Bergerac but had two goals disallowed. I managed to get Madariaga to sign a new contract, it was a 3-year deal with the option for a further three years. He scored twice against Biesheim which saw him take his tally to 9 goals in 50 games from CB. Second behind the unbeaten Montpellier 2.

The save is struggling to bring them through at the Spanish sides, it seems to have dried up since the first intake. I'm going to persevere as I'm enjoying the save but I may have to select another nation like Comoros or Seychelles and bring their players in to help strengthen and improve the side. I look forward to seeing your newgens.

August 2027 A pretty decent opening month with just one loss to Nantes 2 who have some pretty decent players available to them. Fari scored three goals this month which was 50% of the total league goals he scored last season. 5th place at this early stage.

July 2027 - Pre-Season A pretty decent pre-season overall with just one loss against Rennes 2. Just one player joins the club, Louis Badier from Salamanca on loan, the young centre-back will rotate into the first XI. Predicted down a few places in 7th. We've been joined by Nantes 2 and Angers 2, two promoted sides predicted up in the top three.

June 2027 Our first poached player of the save, he does not have great potential but this is a promising sign that our academy can and will produce players of note.

May 2027 - Season Review Any chance of promotion was scuppered against Bergerac. We improved to beat Vendee Herbiers and left it late for a point against Beziers. National 2 Group D - 4th - Our biggest problem was scoring goals, we'd only scored 23 goals after 18 games, we improved to end the season having scored 39. Our defence was pretty good, 28 goals conceded was the 3rd least. French Cup - 9th Round - Gruissan, Dax, Jeunesse Evolution and Beziers beaten before Bordeaux beat us. Top Scorer - Stanislas Salles (14) - the summer arrival from Egues scored 14 goals mainly from LW. Most Assists - Cameron Sainte-Rose (8) - a second successive season as the player with the most assists. Ave. Rating - Stanislas Salles (7.30) - Stan also made seven assists and was given POM six times. Talk of the takeover has quietened but we need it to clear the debt. We also have an issue that Madariaga (CB) and Imaz (GK) are both wanted, they could bring in some much-needed cash but weaken us severely.

March & April 2027 A couple of good months with two wins and two draws, the win over Toulouse 2 was especially satisfying. We're nowhere near ready to go up, we have three games remaining which will decide our fate.

March 2027 Not a great intake.

February 2027 Two wins from three, with the loss against Bordeaux 2 is a good month. Back up to 4th for the moment.

February 2027

January 2027 We spent most of the month rejecting derisory bids for Iosu Madariaga from the likes of Versailles and Dunkerque, which made him unhappy and we rejected a transfer request from him. On the pitch Bordeaux sent us out of the cup and Montpellier 2 also put three past us. We improved towards the end of the month as we drew wth Biesheim and then beat Entente Feignies. 5th, level on points with Bordeaux 2 and Toulouse 2 above us.

December 2026 We advanced in the cup against Beziers then drew with them a week later. Down a place to 5th.

December 2026

November 2026 Two more wins in the league as we beat Evian and Bergerac. We lost to strong Toulouse 2 and Vendee Herbiers sides, no shame in those losses. We also won in the French Cup again as we beat Guadeloupe side Jeunesse Evolution 4-0, the tie was over in the first half. We drop down to 4th with Beziers up next.

October 2026 Just three games this month with just one of those in the league, a win over Loon-Plage. We needed penalties to beat Gruissan in the cup before we smashed six past Dax. Up to 2nd, a false position in my eyes.

September 2026 1-1-1 for the month, feels a poor one after last month. Bordeaux were far too good, we should have beaten Cevennes too. Montpellier 2 open up a gap already.

August 2026 A good start to the season, beating Montpellier 2 on the opening day of the season before a solitary set-piece goal beat Biesheim. A loss to Entente followed but we should have gotten at least a point as we were the better side. An Iban Vazquez hattrick sealed the three points against promoted Gueugnon, he was in for the injured Fari. 2nd after the four games.

July 2026 - Pre-Season A pretty decent pre-season despite only playing lower-league sides. # Two players arrive; Iban Vazquez joins from Colomiers on a free transfer to act as another backup striker and we pay a small but record fee for Stanislas Salles from Egues to be back up for both LB and LW. We've been predicted up in 5th place which I don't think Lightning can strike twice, can it? We have Bordeaux 2 and Toulouse 2 now as well as Montpellier 2 who won the division last season but couldn't be promoted. Vendee Herbiers are favourites and have a couple of million-pound players in their ranks including Ukrainian Viktor Kovalenko.

May 2026 - Season Review A really good end to the season with an unbeaten May, we beat 3rd placed Biesheim, drew with relegated Sable and then beat 1st placed Montpellier 2. French National 2 Group D - 4th - predicted to finish mid-table by the media and asked to avoid relegation by the board, we've done extremely well to finish in fourth place. Its probably a false position in all honesty, this squad shouldn't be finishing in the top half let alone in fourth place. We scored 41 which was the 7th most in the league but only conceded 29 which was the joint 2nd least, I would have to put our performances down to a more solid defence than those around us. French Cup - 9th Round - another solid showing in the cup, we beat Biscarosse, Chataigneraie Vendee, Creteil-Lusitanos and New Caledonian side Hienghene Sport en route to a battle with Clermont. The Ligue 1 side were far too good and beat us comfortably 3-0. Top Scorer - Mickael Fari (15) - leaner times for Fari but in a tougher division, still 15 goals in respectable with all coming in the league and that saw him finish 3rd in the goal-scoring chart. Most Assists - Cameron Sainte-Rose (7) - one of two players to achieve seven assists, the winger did it in fewer games though. Ave. Rating - Cameron Sainte-Rose (7.13) - Cameron also managed four goals and two POM awards. We didn't last in the black for long. Despite our average attendance increasing from 621 last season to 1055 this season and the increase in ticket prices, we've struggled for money. And, despite having had three takeovers in as many seasons, the two newest chairmans have only got bank loans to clear the balance debt.

April 2026 We beat 2nd placed Bourg en Bresse to only then lose to 8th placed Wasquehal. Fifth with three games remaining.

April 2026 Another takeover. From red to black momentarily.
