Congrats on finishing up this utter monster of a thread, and I'm glad to have had some small part to play in it. Bloody well done, that man!

Brilliant!

That keeper, oh my!

Lovely stuff! Hopefully we keep it up! Haven't FM open to screen cap, but I think we're about 4-4.5m in the black.

Aye, I never really got an unreasonable amount of injuries, but this FM's been especially injury free. I can't remember exactly, but the last few years have been well below realistic amounts. The forum would be in meltdown with a realistic level of injuries, though!

For all my slowness, it was a fairly quiet summer, brought back an old player, and sadly sold Rob Rees, but the offer couldn't be refused, as we were still skimming the financial line. Our moves overall weren't as much strengthening, as much as sidestepping, or increasing depth at best, so I didn't quite expect the start we have had. Mid table was the target, and I expected we could fight at that level. Decided to not bother about the League Cup, backups and not even managing the matches myself. So it was an incredible surprise to batter Sunderland 0-4 on their patch! Evans returns for a fraction of what we sold him for, Rees is sad, but for 6m(5 up front), 50% of profit, and the loan back, it was too good. Doidge broke his foot before the first game of pre-season.

Cheers everyone! Sorry I haven't been about, been busy playing with the toys Santa brought me. Still, I've been tipping away slowly, and have finished up pre-season and the first month of League One.

Finally got around to finishing the season, and all is good, barring the finances. They're already back in the red. Brutally harsh on Wimbledon, 3rd all season long, only to drop points in the last two games and miss out on automatic promotion. Still, they're in the playoff final. Rees is becoming a real decent player. 150 games for us already.

If he has some growth in him, he'll be outstanding.

Jesus Christ Slone.

Promotion sealed with plenty of time, which leads to one notable, early bit of business for next summer. The return of Jack Evans. Lynch played two games, hasn't scored yet but is playing well.

Luckily he was eligible, so instantly becomes starting striker. They're really rare, but it does happen, last time I got a kid that looked near this good this young though, he'd already near peaked, so praying this guy isn't the same!

"Well suited to League Two". That said, I'd happily start him for a Championship side.
