August 2027: Regular Season Manager's Thoughts We have gotten off to a fast start and are a top the table. I think that the play in Europe concentrates the players' minds betters than friendlies. Yes, we lost the Cup match to Connah's Quay, but they are a tough team to beat and because it was a Cup match, I played a rotated squad. Also, I have been using both the 4-3-3 DM Wide or the 4-2-3-1 Wide depending on which I think will do better based on the opponent's formation. I know it is early but if we can continue playing like this we can easily make top 3. Schedule Highlights The first match of the season was against Gap Connah's Quay in the League Cup. We were considered underdogs even though we had beaten a Professional team in Europa Conference League play. The board reminded me of their expectations. I expect to meet them or exceed them. The match was an even stalemate with us playing the 4-2-3-1 DM Wide and headed to penalties where we didn't cover ourselves in glory. Our Season ticketholders grew by a WHOLE 7 fans! After the loss to Connah's Quay we headed on the road to Caernarfon Town for the first match of the Premier League Season. The fans of Caernarfon expect victory. Caernarfon ended up losing to our 4-3-3 DM Wide Formation. Holmes came off the bench to bag a brace and player of the match! The Welsh Cup would see us host a real minnow. another player poached, this is becoming annoying! We then had to face Haverfordwest at the Y Morfa in our next match. The 4-3-3 DM wide showcased Burchell skills..... Our backup Striker is out for over a month..... Hat-Trick Hero! Highlights at 11pm of our unexpected victory! The next match brought Newtown FC to the Y Morfa Stadium. considered the top match of the Day! It ended 1-1 as I chose to use the 4-2-3-1 Wide. Our new AMC-AP-A took the plaudits! We hit the road for the next match and were still considered underdogs! We destroyed them with the 4-3-3 Wide. Player of the Match and Week! I finished my National B License.... I have progressed but I think most of the progression is due to successful seasons. I applied to the Club for the National A License and was refused. If we don't make Europe I'm Leaving! League Table Monthly Analysis Report Monthly Awards Management Report Monthly Financial Report Looking Ahead The month is short and sweet but a match against TNS looms large. to be continued:

Strikers in Gegen press systems seem to lose goals to the midfielders (attacking and Central) from what I can tell, but also if your wingers can't pass and cross that doesn't help. My team in Wales uses the Gegen press but it is mostly to put the other team on the back foot so we can possess the ball and create Set-Piece Opportunities. (My player's aren't as good as yours)

How many teams have the potential to get promoted? 3? Two for sure and the winner of the playoff Semifinal plays the playoff team from Ligue1? Good Luck with the run, I hope you do it.

July 2027: Preseason and Europa Conference Play in Manager's Thoughts The team started off well in the ECL winning the first round. Then lost in the second round due to some fishy officiating from Darren England. Even though we played well in Europe, and I thought that I had improved the team. We were still considered the leading candidates to get relegated from the Welsh Premier League. I think this is unfair and that is why the matches are played. We will use both the 4-3-3 DM Wide and 4-2-3-1 DM Wide as we play this season. Schedule Highlights The month of July saw the backups play a Friendly while the Starters got ready for the trip to Kosovo. One of the new signings had a rush of blood to the head and made an enthusiastic tackle in the first minute getting a red card and having us practice with 10 men. Luckily, we were playing a smaller team and was able to win in spite of the red card. The Welsh League Cup gave us a tough opponent for the second year in a row. The board and supporters thought we had a chance against Drita, a Professional team from Kosovo. and now my Assman is in talks to become a manager himself! We dominated setting off a social media frenzy among the fans! To say 5-0 was expected was to be lying. I would have been happy with an away goal and or a draw. We caught their goalie on a bad day! Our Vice Captain led the team by example! and our key signing had a great debut! After coming back from Kosovo, I finished negotiations with another signing who will make our AMC position better. I'm looking for this player to provide the assists for our striker and wingers. The Assman left to be a manager. I will have to find another sidekick. AS the season starts...... I wished him nothing but the best. Our third string GK, kept for registration requirements. A week after the drubbing in Kosovo we played again..... This time we won again not quite as emphatically. Our new backup right back made his debut. Decent amount of money for us..... As a reward we would head to Azerbaijan for our next match. This is for who we would play if we had won..... I back my boys in any match! We fought hard but it is tough when the opponent is better than you and has 12 men on the pitch to your 11. Got a few knocks in the match. We were underdogs and up against it and would need some luck to overturn the first leg. This match was fairer, but we couldn't break them down and their goalie saved 6 shots! Show us that sweet ECL Money! (I think it is a bug that it is awarded twice) The bank balance loves it! this season is paid for already. I said we played well for us and that we really had no chance of winning the Cup anyway! It is annoying whenever a youth player is poached, but when by a Semi-Pro team in the same league, doubly so! After the loss in the ECL I was able to find a new Assman. More expensive, but better than the last one as well. He has better attributes and license than me! I am excited to work with him and maybe learn something! We finished the month with a Friendly and we didn't play well considering the team's stature versus our opponents. Season Preview Considered the worst team in the league and I improved the team! The Dream XI is TNS's starting lineup. The odds are against us but we will try our best to stave off relegation.

June 2027: Offseason Manager's Thoughts The offseason is upon us again I think that I have improved the team, but the media thinks not and expect relegation again. The team and League have grown in reputation and are now higher than they have ever been. We started preseason training halfway through June and had our first Friendly just before the new signings arrive. Even though I thought about reverting to the 4-3-3 DM Wide I have decided to stick with the 4-2-3-1 DM Wide. Highlights June began with Conwy getting hit with a tax bill for our success in Europe. The team signed another backup Right Winger to upgrade the position and team overall. The First String RW will be with us a little longer after being rewarded for being the best assister on the team last season. Our run in the Europa Conference League helped the League Ranking. Two Giants are helped by the new system to get Champion's League Football next season. We find out our first opponent in the Europa Conference Play in Rounds. If we beat the Kosovan's we will be headed to Azerbaijan. A new schedule for the Cymru Premier League is released! Due to our play we are now the 6th most recognized team in Wales! In no small part due to our success in the league where we were named the biggest overachievers! The Board reminded me of their objectives for the season. The media are still calling for us to be relegated! Just before the end of the month we played a friendly before our Europa Conference League match. As the new window opens, I was asked about my plans. I may add one or two players if we find the right ones to upgrade the team, but I had made most of my signings already. A depth signing and a natural AMC to improve the squad. A new backup AMR-W and a bit more depth as well. The Prodigal Son returns albeit as a backup GK. Mostly for squad registration rules of both the League and Europa Conference. The big signing to improve the midfield. Another depth signing, primarily will be backup Right back. Management Report Monthly Financial Report Looking Ahead to be continued:

Making RFS a steppingstone club is a realistic vision for the future. I hope it goes well for you.

3rd place and an ECL berth is nothing to sneeze at unless you end up playing Conwy in the Play in rounds. LOL! The ECL money should help you build up the squad. It was life changing for Conwy and we didn't even make the main group stage. (We took home over $1.2M)

Yes, it was considering we were first favorites to be relegated. I think the AI doesn't know how to react to underdog teams playing on the front foot and pressing for the most part. I lose when I play defensively like you would expect a team like that to do. I am playing the "Out of the Box" Gegen press TI's from the Tactics Creator.

I knew you would have to sell players to balance the books until you are in a position to play in Europe.

May 2027: Post Season and End of Season Manager's Thoughts We found out that we had to play our way in to another European Berth. We did just that beating Connah's Quay and Colwyn Bay as Home underdogs as we played some of our finest football all season. That capped what had been another productive season that included another Manager of the Year award for me. There is a lot that could be improved on for next season and hopefully the new players coming settle as well as this seasons and hopefully we go on another European Cup Run. Schedule Highlights After some confusion as to what coming in third meant....we soon found out we would have to play our way to Europe this year! This state of affairs is because Llanidloes Town who came in 12th out of 12 teams in the Cymru Premier League won the Welsh Cup! A young player was resigned by my assistant manager. He will fill out the CB depth chart. We were given an automatic bid to the European Place Playoff Semi-Final for coming in third place. We would be the home team and underdogs to a team that came in 7th place. We played well in the hard-fought match. As you can see, we dominated them with our Striker playing his best match of the season! He played his best match so far....hopefully there is more to come from the January signing. Winning the match got us to the Playoff Final versus Colwyn Bay, a tough opponent. Player poached by Gateshead! We were the home team and again we were disrespected.....by being underdogs! Even our board and Supporters expected a loss......We'll show them! We played well and got a little bit of help from the referee, but we'll take it. We're back in Europe! We should have won the match anyway according to the analysts! This was the Premier League Player of the Year....there were no Conwy candidates. At least a TNS player didn't win! But I won Head Coach of the Year for the second year in a row! Season Review The League and Europa Conference run were stuff of legends! The SPFL Trust Trophy run wasn't bad either.....but didn't pay as well. LOL! The team's finances are in fine shape BECAUSE OF THE Europa Conference Run! This is how we lined up the first half of the season. Fan's Player of the Season Young player of the Season End of Season Board Meeting Highlights Part Two I decided to re-sign Connor Todd as a backup goalie to cut costs and for team registration reasons. He HGC! We were the overachievers of the Europa Conference League! Management Report Monthly Financial Report to be continued:

April 2027: Regular Season "Hey, Hey, what can I do?" Manager's Thoughts We had a win and a loss, but we came in 3rd in the League. I can't tell if we have already qualified for Europa Conference League or if we have to play a play in tornament with in the league. The team's finishing position made me ask for an extension and it was granted, but more importantly I was allowed to take a coaching course for the National B badge. So I decided to stay because "Hey, Hey, what can I do?" except run it back again. Schedule Highlights With the win against Vauxhall to start the month, I was planning ahead and resigning some of our bench players to short term deals. This player can play PF-A or AMC-AP-A just not very well but a decent backup. We were named biggest overachievers for the SPFL Trust Trophy Challenge Cup! The Penultimate Match of the League Season was against Colwyn Bay at the Y Morfa Stadium. Our place in the table is finally respected..... They scored quickly off of two corners to put us in a hole we couldn't overcome. We had even worked on defending corners in our match Focus! but most importantly we remained in third place in the table! a draw or a win and were in! xG showed that we should have beat Colwyn Bay, but it was one of those days in front of goal. We played another Friendly to keep up match sharpness going into the last match. We won and it should have been more.....but our finishing sucks! Y Morfa Stadium would host the last match of the Season and we were underdogs yet again! Prematch Hype about our assist leader. Our Striker used to play for Barry Town. Hopefully he will make them pay! We won and retained Third Place! We're going to Europe! We played well and dominated; we only fell short with our finishing...winning late on. We still have to win a match before Europe is official! Third placed prize money! The Board wants us to spend money and continue winning! I will continue with a fiscally conservative course if I remain manager. After my asking about a new deal and coming in third in the league we negotiated a 1-year extension, but more importantly I got the Coaching Course! I was then asked why I had reupped with Conwy? Continue what I started......I would have sent out applications if I didn't get the coaching course.

I thought they were used to playing once a week and wanted them to stay match fit and get used to the formation.

March 2027: Regular Season Manager's Thoughts The month looks better than it was, all the wins are in friendlies. The loss is to TNS, The Ming the Merciless of the Welsh Premier League, was expected and led to their winning the league again. The Draw against Newtown was the result of Cautious Football from both teams not wanting to lose. Luckily the team has two more chances to win and secure a place in Europe next month. If we don't make Europe I will step down as manager of this team even though I have put them in a better position than they were when I joined them. Mostly because of disagreements with the Board over coaching courses. Schedule Highlights The month of March started off with a trip Park Hall Lane and a contest with our nemesis The New Saints. We are predictably underdogs and TNS has a chance to clinch the title again this season. Our new players are slightly better than the old players.... even if they are still with us! We fought hard again only to fall short like most meetings with TNS! Highlights of their Celebrations were all over Wales that night! We are still in the hunt for Europe if we can keep the third spot. Luckily our next match would see us take on our closest competitors for the 3rd spot, Newtown FC. We had to play on the road and were underdogs, but I had belief in the team and 4-2-3-1 DM Wide. It was another hard-fought battle with each team playing it safe and trying to deny each other the ball, so stalemate ensued. We had the better of it and even made the "magic" Number of more than 500 passes. The Team then played two Friendlies because there was an inexplicable break in the schedule and the final two matches in the league aren't till April. Yes, it was against weaker opposition, but I was pleased with what I was seeing. We did lose our star CB and new signing for the next league match! Youth Intake Day Steven Griffiths-AMC Guto Thomas- GK Assan Mbye-CB The rest of the world got their intakes as well and here are the top ten Wonderkids 2027: The Final match of the month was a friendly against Vauxhall. League Table One more win and we should secure 3rd place. Monthly Analysis Report Still scoring more than we are giving up. Player of the Month Management Report Monthly Financial Report Looking Ahead to be continued:

Congratulations on your promotion. Too bad you didn't finish undefeated.

I haven't asked to go professional because until we are considered top -of-the Table team in previews and a regular in Europe we really can't afford it. Another good run in Europe and we might be able to afford it. The good thing about all that money is that the team really doesn't have to worry about operating costs as a part-time club. I am just trying to be realistic since I know a club with about 200 supporters would never go pro.

February 2027: Regular Season Manager's Thoughts The change to the 4-2-3-1 DM Wide is what we needed I still need to figure out all the roles and best lineup, but it is a major improvement on how the 4--3-3 DM Wide had been working near the end. I think some of it is the AI figures out how you play after about a year of using the same formation roles and players, but also some of the matches I had in January were against teams that were better than us man for man. I am hoping to win a few more matches and make Europe this summer. If I do so I may stay....if I can get a coaching course. Since I don't want to stay in Wales forever. Even though the locals have been nice to this American and the countryside is beautiful. I want to climb the ladder even though I got a late start at 52 years old. Schedule Highlights The beginning of February saw the end of the Transfer Window with no more movement from us. As always TNS dominated the transfer window shoring up "perceived" deficiencies in their team. Our backup CB/DM is out for most of the month. After wards we had to travel to Colwyn Bay for a match in the Cymru Premier League. Neither team came into this match in good form so we might have escaped with the points. We played well but our defense was still shaky.....but I was happy for the win. It was an important victory for our chances at getting European place. Burchell led the line from the AMC-AP-A Position and finished the match at DM! After the Victory at Colwyn Bay we headed to Barry Town for our next match. Again, neither team was in the best form, but we were coming off a hard-fought victory. We went behind early but kept plugging away and finally broke down their defense. We then played a Friendly since there was a break in the Schedule. It wasn't the best performance but the team kept up their match fitness! The last match of the month would see 2nd place Bala Town come calling to the Y Morfa Stadium! We were underdogs but for some reason I thought we had a chance as "home underdogs"! We played one of the best matches of the season and if we played like that every match, we might take the title! As one can see we dominated in our new formation! League Table Monthly Analysis Report We are scoring more than we are giving up! If I could figure out the defensive issues, we could be a Title Contender!

January 2027: Regular Season Manager's Thoughts The month of January started well and then went in the crapper. Yes, we played better teams than us but we played dismally. In the end after a team meeting I decided to change formation to the 4-2-3-1 DM Wide that I had used before. It gave us a battling draw against Newtown FC. We will try it for the rest of the season in an attempt to get back to Europe. If we make Europe, I may stay at Conwy even though I have already flirted with leaving for other teams. Schedule Highlights January would see us start out with a match against Barry Town to end our season before the split. We were the hosts at the Y Morfa stadium, but we were underdogs. It was an ugly game, but someone had to win...... So we end the first part of the season in 3rd place which would be a European Place. Both our new signings made their debut in the match. I'm a fan of the General manager approach but I let ours go as cost cutting measure. The captain signed an extension, and he was re-signed because of his leadership and Homegrown Rules. Since I am nearing the end of my contract and am not sure I want to stay.....I went on the interview. I signed what I hope will be a dominant player in our midfield next season. Signed another player for next season to be our backup Right back. Connah's Quay didn't give me the job because I wanted to stay the rest of the season with Conwy. In third place after the split. Pretty good for preseason relegation fodder! Here's the table at the split. We had one more match before resumption of the season. A trip to Scotland for a Cup match versus Aberdeen Reserves. We had no answer for their Striker who was better than anyone we usually have to play against. In other news TNS remains dominant in Wales. Our first match after the split would see us host TNS at the Y Morfa Stadium. The match was about as ugly as it could get.....we were pressed and made any number of mistakes playing out of the back which were capitalized on by TNS. I was slightly upset with our play after the match..... The vice-captain and star Player came to me that the CB's were lacking quality. I told them that our youngsters will play well just give them time. He had been whining about playing time.....and he got some in rotation. The next match saw us travel to Bala Town and were underdogs yet again......but the way we were playing I would agree with the pundits. It was another terrible match that saw the scoreline flatter us. After the bad play of the last few weeks I decided to change things up and revert to the 4-2-3-1 Wide DM formation to freshen things up and change our fortunes. The next match was at home against the Newtown FC. We got a draw in a match that saw BOTH teams have men sent off for bad tackles! We played better but would have won if we had kept our man advantage. I let go of a player that was just collecting a paycheck and had no future with us. I only intend to bring in players that will help the club and are better than we already have....we haven't scouted many though.

Really funny that your Cup Goalkeeper wants to leave for a stronger squad.

December 2026: Regular Season Manager's Thoughts We are an up and down team that is relying on scoring instead of our defense to make our way in the world this wouldn't be a bad thing if we had more consistent scoring from our Striker. That is why I am bringing in a new Striker and CB in January to help rectify the issues of the team. The team should be in the Championship Division after the split which means the team is safe from relegation, board objective achieved. The team will need to play better defensively if we are to put a run together to retain a European Spot. A European Spot and a good run in Europe might be what the team needs to take the next step, but I think that is unlikely unless form improves drastically. Schedule Highlights The month of December would be a big one if we were to stay relevant in European Place fight. We needed to secure a top six spot before the League Split in January. We started the month with a tough match against Haverfordwest that is one of our bogey teams and it didn't help that the Ref was terrible as well. After the loss to Haverfordwest we were headed on the road to take on struggling Penybont. A Central Defender that may help solidify the team. We were able to scrape by struggling Penybont and maintain 4rth place. I resigned one of our young stars of the future. The next match was a Cup match versus Scotland's Stirling Albion The Academy Report came out. I'm not thrilled with the intake but hopefully the team finds a player or two. We started off slowly and gave up a penalty but came back and won it! As a reward we will play Aberdeen's Reserves! I don't expect much of that trip to Scotland. I decided to check out the Job front and saw a bigger job available that I might have a chance for: Probably not enough Licenses. After that Cup win we went on the road to take on Colwyn Bay our close competitors in the table. Nothing separated us that day! and we gave up another late goal from an over-the-top ball. We had just offered for the player. Our next match is a trip to Barry Town, and we are underdogs. Burchell is our main man with our less than good Striker performances. Another Draw, at least we didn't lose. We are now down to 6th place. We are on a knife edge of repeating last season's heroics. The next match was against Gap Connah's Quay a perennial Title Contender. I tried to get some professional development and was rejected by the board. But we were able to sign Lewis for the Second half of the Season. Decent for our level with room to grow. I now need to get rid of some of our CB's on big contracts. See Sumpter ($12,750/yr for Squad player) We were able to beat Connah's Quay and get back in the race for European Spots. The First of the Year Transfer Window opened and we sined two players. We added a striker and defender to help us get the European Spot. Gavin Lewis-CB Ryan Hillier- Striker even after our new players were signed, I am still looking for better players to join us. League Table Monthly Analysis Report We are bad at pressing allowing to many passes......another of our defensive issues. Player of the Month Management Report Monthly Financial Report Looking Ahead to be continued:

put some team bonding sessions in your practice plans. Community Relations also helps team cohesion. Biggest thing for team cohesion is picking a formation and roles and NOT tinkering too much. Also try to get the Captain and Vice-Captain on your side. Discuss the Locker room atmosphere with them and ask if they have any advice.

November 2026: Regular Season "Musical Chairs" Manager's Thoughts We started the month at the top of the table but our one loss this month was devastating in that it took us out of the European places. Our play was up and down with a terrible match against Bala but a win versus the New Saints. If I can somehow fix the defense, we may not waste the great play of Bradley Burchell and still end up in a European Place. Schedule Highlights The short month of November started with a match against the Bala Town FC. The match was expected to be a tough one with Bala battling with us for a European Place. It was an ugly match which saw our First Choice GK go off injured and our defense make mistakes that were pounced on by Bala town with outlet passes. Our First Choice GK is out most of the rest of the first half of the season....... Highlights of our defeat were shown all over Wales! The usual suspects are in the top ten players in the world! Just before our next match our captain came down with a groin strain. Out for the rest of the month! and he was scheduled to play in the next match! I decided to play the backups against Carmarthen Town because of the lackluster performance against Bala Town of the Starters. And I was rewarded with a winning effort. The next match was at the Y Morfa Stadium versus the New Saints! Hopefully the Starters got the message from sitting out and seeing the backups win a match! Boy did they ever get the message! Burchell was the star once again. TNS's Shame was shown for all to see..... Highlights from Y Morfa at 11pm! Burchell was also voted Player of the Week! The last match of the month would see us travel to Newtown FC to see if we could knock them out of a European Place. The match was only a few days after the TNS match and I played a rotated side and hoped for the best. Goals Galore and an exciting match for the neutrals! I was happy with the point considering I had played the backups and subbed in some starters. After the match it came out that Hywel Wright was tipped for Welsh Player of the Year. With the more prestigious teams and names involved he should be honored to be on the list! Burchell came off the bench for a brace!

October 2026: Regular Season "Fair Weather Johnsons" Manager's Thoughts When we are good, we are good and when we are bad, we are terrible. That is why we are "Fair Weather Johnsons". We are in almost every game because of our possession and shots but when that fails, we have to depend on our defense and that is where it all falls apart. teams are taking advantage of our high line and lack of pace in the defense. The ball over the top continues to kill us but there are no real fixes in sight. I don't want to not play a high line because then we would be giving up on the Gegen press and turning into something else. I am willing to die on the Klopp tactics Gegen press hill. Schedule Highlights The month of October found the team starting with a home match versus Penybont. The Team form has improved when I play the Starters, but the defense is shaky due to the lack of pace. Burchell had been unhappy with me trying to play him as CM-A and he pouted like Achilles in his tent even after I moved him back to AP-S. I was happy that he was happy again so I could resign him since he is in the last year of his contract and one of our most important players. The game was a card fest and Bradley Burchell won it at the echo of the whistle with a wonderful Free kick! But of importance was the loss for 6 weeks of our in form striker. Since we have the money, I sent him to a specialist. Still unbeaten this season! After the dramatic win against Penybont we headed on the road to Caernarfon Town. Again, we were underdogs despite our place in the table. We lost and I used the backups......we fought hard but it wasn't our day.....our lack of finishing came back to haunt us. Burchell signed with us long term for a modest raise. Afterwards the team took on Colwyn Bay at the Y Morfa Stadium. The Starters couldn't get us over the line and by xG we were lucky to draw. We had another go at Caernarfon Town and this time the starters would play. Conwy back at the top of the table temporarily. Burchell was the man yet again with two goals and a saved penalty! The next match would see us travel to perennial contenders Gap Connah's Quay for a match. Conwy's Youth development is going to have to improve if the team can sustain this success. We then played a stinker of a match where the ref had a heavy hand...... We played terrible and I let them know it afterwards! And all of Wales saw the highlights on TV later that night...... Two players were suspended for the next match. The next match would see my 100th as manager not bad for Sunday Footballer with no qualifications, but don't compare me to Ted Lasso! The match was against the worst team in the league.......we were favored at home for once. Of course we didn't win the match......it is like we lost the magic elixir of winning the matches since Connah's Quay! In the Wider world Man City has the best Youth Set Up! I decided to follow the recommendations of my scouts and add a Striker to the team one that is more of a Target Forward as a change of pace. He will join us in January. League Table Monthly Analysis Report Our Attack is good even though we sometimes have dry spells, but...... Our defense is historically bad! Player of the Month Management Report Monthly Financial Report Looking Ahead to be continued:

I always think of Cup wins as the intermediate step or steppingstone to truly challenging for the league. See my previous experience with Preston and Schalke04. But that also doesn't mean I won't try and win the league this season......

September 2026: Regular Season "Earth Stopped Cold at Dawn" Manager's Thoughts The team showed how good we could be beating two bigger sides this month and how much work we need to do defensively with a loss and a draw. We are still playing a Klopp inspired 4-3-3 DM Wide with better players than last season and it shows in the matches that I play the first team so far, we are unbeaten. When I play the backups, it is often a different story. September was a short month with few matches and the biggest mistake I made was to play the backups in the Welsh Cup against Pontypridd and lose. In each of the matches that I played the starters we are undefeated including a victory over the New Saints which is why the earth stopped cold at dawn. Schedule Highlights The month of September saw us start with the Welsh Cup versus Pontypridd. I decided to rotate the team and play the backups with the match against TNS coming up next. We scored first and from then on it was all them! It was probably a mistake to play the backups, but I will stick by it. The next match was the one I was dreading and getting ready for at the same time. We have lost to them SEVEN straight times! Maybe this time will be different for our bunch of underdogs? The Welsh Soccer world is turned upside down for a moment: Conwy beat the New Saints! It was a great match by our star striker who is now hitting his stride. Five unbeaten in the League and at the top of the table! We returned home to the Y Morfa Stadium Giddy after beating the Champs and ready to defend Fortress Y Morfa from Newtown FC. Another match where we are underdogs! Someone needs to rethink their opinions of our team. It was a tough and fiery match with more yellow cards than goals! and nothing separated the two teams when the final whistle blew. But we remain undefeated in the league so far. The last match of the month would see us take on Scottish Team FC Edinburgh at the Y Morfa Stadium. The Scottish team is professional and expected to beat us, but I back us against anyone near our level! An exciting match that saw neither side play defense or keep goal. We won beating the Scots at their own game! New Left back Jones had a big night creatively like Andy Robertson can at times. I'm not sure we should be proud of this record! We scored more goals and were outdone in XG! We should have lost the match according to the analysts!
