Mid Season Results We started like a house on fire in August but have been inconsistent since. But we are in a really good place now with a lot of our team developed to this level. League Table We occupy the last playoff spot which is amazing for us so far. FA Cup Again using the backup players here. An amazing win at the first hurdle but Yeovil were a step too far. FA Trophy We managed to get through one round but the backup players couldnt get past Woking. Transfers We released a bunch of players who were not developing at all. The first season we have sent a lot of players on loan. I really hope this helps! It also takes off some wage pressure! Goalkeeper Watch Cooke has 9 goals so far which is incredible. He should comfortably get to double figures. Andrews hasnt got off the mark yet! Player Review - Michael Moore (YP26K) Has become our starting right back now with a few of the others moving into centre back. Developing nicely. Youth Intake Preview Heres hoping for some good centre midfielders!

Improvements I have been very lucky with the chairman as each time they have said yes. We will be getting to the top of these soon and will need to concentrate on youth facilities and training facilities.

Youth Review Youth Overview

End Of Season Review Results A much better 2nd half of the season for us. Again scoring loads which is great to see and the development has enabled us to be so much more competitive. League Table Much more comfortable this season as we survive by 13pts! FA Cup Not the priority currently! FA Trophy Games for the reserves! Transfers 2 more players left on frees Thomas wasnt developing and Burrows was complaining about a lack of game time! Aromolaran is one of the last original players. Released him as he was rapidly going down in terms of ability. Goalkeeper Watch Andrews ended up with 4 goals and 1 assist this season in 40 games and Cooke hasnt scored or assisted in 7 games. Player Of The Season - Jakub Kovac (YP26A) Really stepped up this season. 24 goals this season meant we were much more comfortable this season! Young Player Of The Season - Aron Howe (YP26C) Just realised I didnt include him in the squad review earlier. This was due to him only playing AMC. Thankfully have now trained him to play striker naturally which could be very handy with that finishing. 13 goals and 3 assists this season!

Youth Intake 2027 Overview Some good potential in here but at our current level we are unlikely to get them to that level so its more about current ability. In here there is definitely a few players who will come straight into the first team to aid us. First Team Players

Mid-Season Review Results Another struggle like last year but our players are developing and we have become much more competitive. League Table We are comfortably clear of the bottom 4 currently which is the main objective again as our players continue to develop. We even have a positive goal difference! FA Cup Using the backup players for these games to try and aid their development. We managed to get through one round via a replay but the 2nd replay was too much for us! FA Trophy Story of 2 penalty shootouts. One which we won but the 2nd we lost. Again valuable game time for our youngsters though! Transfers Teniola was getting older and his CA was plummeting down so he left. Kanda (YP24L) had made a few appearances for us but hadnt developed at all so I didnt really make any real effort to keep him when the offer came in. We have also released 4 of the original intake. Harris (YP24K) had been regularly absent from training and the other 3 were simply not good enough or not developing at all! Goalkeeper Watch Andrews has 2 goals and 1 assist this season so far whilst Sumner is yet to get off the mark in 5 games! Player Review - Jakub Kovac (YP26A) Our main man now. Capped at u19 level by Slovakia. 16 goals and 2 assists in 24 games! Youth Intake Preview More depth is what we need. Hopefully the improvements will make a difference!

Improvements Great stuff!

Squad Review Part 2 Centre Midfielders Another area we could do with some quality in. Dolan (YP25A) and Cornish are the current starters and we have good numbers for backup bit not quite of the quality required yet. Average CA: 43 Wingers Again we have good numbers here but a lot need good development before being able to truly make an impact at this level. Average CA: 39 Strikers An area we do not have depth in at all. 3 strikers and whilst some of our wingers can fill in it isnt ideal. Average CA: 55

Squad Review Part 1 Goalkeepers One of the weakest areas in the team currently. Andrews was thrust into the first team after we lost Baldock-Smith. He developed quite nicely over the season but has some way to go. Sumner is a better upgrade on previous backup but still some way of this level. Average CA: 27 Full Backs One of the stronger areas of our team currently. We have good depth here. Abrahams (YP24B) and Farr (YP26B) are the current starters but we have adequate backup (some of our centre halves cover on the right). Average CA: 54 Centre Backs Our 2 starting centre backs are of decent quality in Haysom and Vucaj (YP24A) and whilst Worthington (YP26E) and Sinclair (YP26D) have good potential they are currently not at the level to play in this team. Average CA: 49

Nope no professional status yet. Cant see it happening until I reach League 2. It definitely makes this type of challenge much more difficult!

End Of Season Review Results Well the first match we got our youth intake in was the Aveley game (i.e players signed by then). 4 wins from our last 6 games with that better squad depth plus Jakub Kovac coming in up front was a huge help! League Table Last game of the season was a 6 pointer! If we lost at Eastbourne then we were down! You cant say we are not entertaining! 204 goals in our games! Transfers No further transfers out! Goalkeeper Watch Andrews (YP25G) hit double figures! Grabbing 10 goals in 51 games! Player Of The Season - Jeremie Mukendi We have started to drop Teniola out of the team more now and needed Mukendi to step up. 22 goals and 8 assists this season are a long way to why we survived relegation! Young Player Of The Season - Kyran Abrahams (YP24B) Really improving well and those mental stats are great for this level. 3 goals and 8 assists this season!

Unfortunately had some internet issues and my post I worked on for my youth intake has disappeared. I will do an update on the team after the end of season update! It was a much needed intake though!

Mid-Season Review Results A tougher season thus far. Again a very entertaining team with the most goals conceded and the same amount of goals as the team sitting first! We were in the relegation zone until our 2 victories in December moved us out. We have a big battle on our hands! League Table So tight down the bottom as only 6pts separates Easbourne in the last relegation spot up to 15th placed Worthing! FA Cup We got 1 step further this year but Maidenhead thumped us in the 3rd qualifying round. FA Trophy Same as the FA Cup. One step further but comfortably beaten by Chatham in the 3rd round. Transfers Baldock-Smith was out starting keeper but refused to sign a new contract. Being semi-pro means that we are in danger of losing a lot of players which means that step up to professional status (whenever that may be) will make a big difference in protecting ourselves. Bard was one of the original youth players we had. Played a few games but was no longer needed. Goalkeeper Watch Rhys Andrews (YP25G) is our new starting keeper. He has an impressive 5 goals in 31 games from the spot! Player Review - Kyran Abrahams (YP24B) Our main youth product thus far in terms of ability. He now has the highest CA in the team and has an impressive 2 goals and 8 assists from left back! Improvements Lets hope this makes a difference this year! Youth Intake Preview Well this looks positive. We also have Strikers as an A. We badly need them in to start developing them up!

Youth Review As you can see a lot of youth players are now getting minutes in the team as we lose a lot of our original team members. One disappointing thing was the average CA at time of intake was actually lower than the previous years although PA has increased. Unfortunately at this level I would want this flipped around!

End Of Season Review Results Well this was a very good season for us. We did concede a lot of goals but also scored a lot. 203 goals in total in our games! League Table Comfortably safe which I would have snatched your hand off for! FA Cup Out at the first hurdle! FA Trophy Again out at the first hurdle! Transfers 4 more left this season with Tom Anderson the only one you wont have seen previously. That now leaves us with just 5 players who started the save with us! Unfortunately just after I took the above screenshot we have lost our first choice keeper. Player Of The Season - Alex Teniola One of the few of the original players left. 26 goals and 4 assists enabled us to stay up this season! Young Player Of The Season - Mark Itodo (YP24H) Really good season from Itodo who got 7 goals and 17 assists! Youth Category Increase This can only be a benefit for us!

Youth Intake 2025 First Team Players

Mid Season Review Results A really surprising and positive half of this season. We have been playing well and despite some heavy losses we have been picking up some great wins that comfortably puts us clear of the relegation scrap. League Table Mid table obscurity is absolutely fine for me! FA Cup No cup run this season as we fall at the first hurdle. FA Trophy Similar to the FA cup we lose 2-1 away from home at the first hurdle. Transfers We lose 3 starting players to free transfers whilst Cornhill and Halford both retire. That leaves us with 8 non youth players in our first team squad of which 2 are only warming the bench when we cant get 16 players! Goalkeeper Watch Dele has had a good first half of the season scoring 3 goals in 29 matches! Player Review - Mark Itodo (YP24H) Whilst not being high in the potential of the first intake Itodo really has shone this season. 5 goals and 13 assists from the wing this season has really helped us move up that table! Youth Intake Preview Lets hope we get some good current ability players.

When It Is Not Your Day I dont think I have ever had as much shots in any FM game.

Dream Debut For Our Keeper @Jimbokav1971 doing you proud. A clean sheet and a goal on his debut for our keeper!

Everyone Likes An Underdog It would be nothing short of a miracle if we survive!

End Of Season Results An amazing 2nd half of the season culminated with us beating Enfield and then Dulwich Hamlet in the playoff finals to send us up! League Table We finished 3rd but managed to go up in the playoffs! FA Cup This was not the priority this season but getting through a few qualifying rounds brought in some £££ FA Trophy A poor performance and result as we crash out at the first hurdle! Isthmian League Cup I tried to rest a lot of the team where I could for this. We managed to get through one round but Folkestone where a step too far. Player Of The Season - Jeremie Mukendi Our main man for goals this year. 31 goals and 10 assists propelled us up to the league above! Young Player Of The Season - Nigel Aris Unfortunately we are losing him in the summer but he made his farewell worthwhile! 14 goals and 22 assists this season before he heads off to Wales! Youth Intake We simply needed numbers in (unfortunately Gyazo wasnt working at the time of intake for me). So above is all those we signed. Here are 6 who are currently in the first team: Mateo Vucaj (YP24A) Kyran Abrahams (YP24B) Lee Burrows (YP24C) Mark Itodo (YP24H) Friedrich Kanda (YP24L) Christian Gabriel (YP24M)

Another One Bites The Dust Well our player of the season is leaving. We simply cannot offer that type of money. At least he is here until July!

Improvements Twice in one season is great! Money is slowly running out so need to get this whilst I can.
