End Of Season Results I did a little bit of research into the National League North/South vs National League. The top 6 in the North/South League average CA is roughly the same with only Doncaster skewing the numbers in our league. After doing this I wasnt surprised we did quite well including a 13 game unbeaten run which sent us into the playoffs! Playoffs Well another playoff win! 2 of the games went to extra time. Torquay we were the better team but needed a 92nd minute equaliser before a 120th minute winner! Woking we struggled in and it was more about staying in the game and taking any chances that came our way! The final we again played some good football again and probably should have won it in normal time but had to wait until a 113th minute winner to send us into the football league! League Table Promotion! Brilliant stuff! FA Cup A kind run for us until West Ham who comfortably beat us but was a nice little money spinner for us! FA Trophy Same old story here! Player Review - Kevin McCarthy (YP26D) Really good that he can cover both sides now. Great mental stats for this level. Played 28 times this season grabbing 2 assists. Capped at u19 level for Ireland also! Player Of The Season - Kevin Barton (YP25C) Still our min centre back with very good mentals and solid physicals. Technically needs work but played 43 (2) times this season getting 6 goals and 4 assists! Young Player Of The Season - Javier Murray (YP25B) Again another solid season for us by Murray who got 16 assists and 7 goals this season! Other News This is big in terms of offering longer term contracts! Be interesting to see what happens here! Always a benefit! Youth

Youth Intake 2029 Overview Signed 11 of the 16 this season. We need players in and I have signed them all onto youth contracts instead of non contract to hopefully keep them here longer. Solid personalities always a plus here. 3 players in Thompson. Roe and James will come straight into the first team as well as O'Boyle potentially! The Players YP29A - Roman Broniewicz YP29B - Danny Harding YP29C - Luke O'Boyle YP29D - Tom Thompson YP29E - Dale Roe YP29F - Kemar Plummer YP29G - Rodolphe James YP29H - Olly Flatters YP29I - Nick Montague YP29J - Joe Clegg YP29K - Tom Arthur Nationality Watch Nationality Watch English - 80 Welsh - 7 Polish - 1 Guyanese - 2 Australian - 2 Northern Irish - 5 Portuguese - 2 Tanzanian - 1 Finnish - 1 Irish - 6 Nigerian - 1 Belgian - 1 Jamaican - 1 German - 1 Scottish - 2 Sierra Leone - 1 Estonia - 1 Swedish - 1 Polish - 1 French - 1

Youth Intake Preview We need a striker and some defenders!

Summer Transfer Window Out It has not been a good summer/autumn for us. We lost 2 starting players in Bull and Morris-Madden as well as some very good potential players in Cotton and Dodd. Our numbers are getting smaller and smaller so I need to be smarter on the types of contract I am handing out currently.

Thanks it was unexpected!

End Of Season Results Another very solid season for us. We got a lot of good development within the first team which means we are more than capable of holding our own at this level now with the 3 or 4 first team players coming through from the intake filling in some areas we were struggling in. Playoffs Well that was unexpected. Our away form hasnt been great this season but a very good win away at Bury set us up in the semi finals against Darlington who were first pretty much throughout the entire season until the lost on the last day! We were battered here but managed to somehow stay in the game and take it to penalties where thankfully we won the lottery! In the final we faced 4th placed Kidderminster and were much more comfortable in this game with our counter attacking football which leads us to the National League! League Table We were yo-yo'ing in and out of the playoffs the whole season but towards the end we cemented a spot and the rest was history! FA Cup Another great run here with the victory over Millwall probably the biggest in this teams history! Blackburn comfortably beat us in the next round but that run really helped the finances! FA Trophy A competition we just cant seem to get a run in. A rotated squad in both games but it wasnt to be as we are knocked out early on again! Player Review - Dylan Bull (YP26B) Really developed nicely this season and is juggling 2 different positions now in the deep lying role and the role just behind the 2 strikers. 5 goals and 14 assists is a very solid season! Player Of The Season - Javier Murray (YP25B) The assist machine from last season is this seasons player of the season. This time he added goals to his game as well. He scored 14 times and grabbed 16 assists this season with an average rating of 7.30! Young Player Of The Season - Ryan Morris-Madden (YP27D) With losing Gibbs (YP23A) in the summer he was tasked to replace him in the starting 11 at a very young age. He scored 20 times in 34 (20) appearances and notched up 10 assists! Other News Transfers Out We lost 2 players in the summer transfer window with Gibbs being the big loss. He scored 6 goals in 21 games this season for Phoenix! As we still sign some players on non contracts to save on wages we do open ourselves up to losing some on free transfers but these tend to be those who are not in the first team currently. This year we lost 3 thanks to this! Youth

Youth Intake 2028 Overview Some positions definitely need covered and we have got that here. Especially at centre back where we have 2 players who can come into the team straight away! Also nice to see a potential striker some in as we are short there after Gibbs left. The Players YP28A - Alimamy Sesay YP28B - Cameron Barron YP28C - Callum Keane YP28D - Kevin Johnson YP28E - Tyrell Brown YP28F - Jayden Hay YP28G - Adam Stirling YP28H - Bob Grant YP28I - Elvis Anane YP28J - Ben James YP28K - Alex Bennett YP28L - Josh Southgate YP28M - Alec Ottley YP28N - Marc Male YP28O - Dillon Bateman YP28P - Huw Roberts Nationality Watch English - 71 Welsh - 7 Polish - 1 Guyanese - 2 Australian - 2 Northern Irish - 5 Portuguese - 2 Tanzanian - 1 Finnish - 1 Irish - 6 Nigerian - 1 Belgian - 1 Jamaican - 1 German - 1 Scottish - 2 Sierra Leone - 1 Estonia - 1 Swedish - 1

Youth Recruitment Improvement

Youth Facilities Another good FA Cup run has let us increase the youth facilities for the first time!

Youth Intake Preview

Takeover New board is in! They didnt put any money into the club.

Big Loss Our main man is gone. Wouldnt accept a new contract so we cashed in. Originally we were getting offers off just 10k so the fact we got this up to 100k is a very good deal plus percentage of next sale!

End Of Season Results A very good first season for us in the league with some expected tough runs of form but also some great victories along the way! League Table We finished 7th which got us into the playoffs! An amazing performance! Playoffs We had 3 centre backs injured or suspended here and had to play a full back in there and it showed. Blyth were the better team throughout and deserved their win. FA Cup An amazing run here which really helped our finances and enabled us to get more improvements! FA Trophy Out at the first stage as our reserves struggled! Player Review - Jim Hall (YP24A) Our first choice keeper had another solid year conceding just over a goal a game which considering our level is pretty good. Player Of The Season - Dylan Bull (YP26B) Utilised mainly in the deep lying role now he was outstanding for us with 17 assists and 4 goals in 44 appearances! Young Player Of The Season - Kevin Barton (YP24J) This man doesnt have the highest PA but he has shot up recently in terms of current ability (42 CA points in 3 seasons) which means he is our star centre back now. An impressive 7.12 rating and 2 goals to boot! Transfers Out We lost some players on free transfers as they were on non contracts. No real big losses but disappointing none the less! Released At the end of the season we lost another batch of youngsters who simply were not going to be good enough or were not improving! Youth

I type. Only need to do it once a season so it isn't too bad!

Lima looks incredible for 16!

This sounds good to me!

I know!! The irony! There is also a team called FC Romania which might be one for next year!

Youth Intake 2027 Overview The first season we didnt sign everyone. Some poor PA and personalities mean we have signed 11 of the 16 graduates. Out of these Only 2 will go into the first team which is slightly disappointing. The Players YP27A - Neil Cotton YP27B - Louie Lloyd YP27C - Kristian Dodd YP27D - Ryan Morris-Madden YP27E - David Parsons YP27F - Charlie Williams YP27G - Zac Stafford YP27H - Niall Adams YP27I - Garrett Fallon YP27J - Kieran Wilson YP27K - Harrison Lay Nationality Watch English - 61 Welsh - 6 Polish - 1 Guyanese - 2 Australian - 2 Northern Irish - 5 Portuguese - 2 Tanzanian - 1 Finnish - 1 Irish - 6 Nigerian - 1 Belgian - 1 Jamaican - 1 German - 1

Improvements Well as mentioned we were in the red buttttt.... We reached the 4th round of the FA Cup. A fairly kind run until Barnsley who has 2 men sent off and a man injured when all their subs were used! We were battered by Leicester but it helped bring our balance up to 250k!

Youth Intake Preview We really could do with a centre back, a right back and another striker for rotational purposes!

Yeah I think initially it isn't too bad. A lot of the levels there isn't too much of a jump in terms of ability. Now that we are in the red we can no longer get any improvements we may stagnate a bit!

Ah seem to have fixed it. Turns out we didnt have an u18s manager and even though it was delegated to another coach it wasnt picking it up!

Anyone come across the issue in custom databases of your youth team playing on the same day as the first team and it forcing you to control both matches?

End Of Season Results It wasnt much of a step up this season as most clubs are fairly level in these 2 leagues. We were fantastic this season which included some big unbeaten runs of 10 games and 14 games! League Table We were comfortable winners here and nice to see the greatly named Corinthian-Casuals join us! FA Cup We made it to the first round again where we were beaten in a highly entertaining game by Barnet! FA Trophy I tried to give some of our rotational players game time here. They did well to get through 3 rounds but Aldershot were a step too far! Isthmian League Cup Again our backups were used and got through to the 4th round where they were knocked out by Canvey Island! Player Review - Barnabas Victor (YP25C) A really good additional from last years intake to support Gibbs up top. He scored 28 goals and got 10 assists in his first full season. Player Of The Season - Cameron Gibbs (YP23A) Our main man who is locked down for 2 more seasons which is great! Would be surprised if we didnt start getting offers soon! 35 goals and 13 assists in 45 games for him last season including the golden boot in the league! Young Player Of The Season - Javier Murray (YP25B) Our starting left winger had a fantastic breakout season becoming our Cesc Fabregas! 4 goals and a very impressive 23 assists for him! Finances The board provided an injection of 70k to bring us back into the black! This wont last for long however! Transfers We released 7 players who were on normal part time contracts and on top of this also released 2 youth player in McGlone-Hayes (YP24P) and Eaton-Collins (YP24I) who were never going to be first team ready! Youth

Yeah I always liked tracking the CA/PA values and comparing the perceived potential vs actual potential. I love getting players from these smaller footballing nations. This is the time in the save with money going into the red where it becomes more difficult! Be prepared for the Goalkeeper scoring to come back also! And finally still loving your Portuguese save!
