NepentheZ Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 3 Games to go.. After my failed first attempt at the challenge (got sacked at end of season 2 with Halesowen due to board takeover, but was doing poorly), i didnt have high hopes for the first season of my second attempt with Carshalton. But somehow, i've managed to put myself in a posision i wouldnt have dreamed of come the beggining of the season. With 3 games to go, only TWO points seperate the top 4 teams. Its tense. i've not held top spot all season, and had a rough start to the campaign. but only 2 losses in the last 25 games has seen me propell from mid-low table, to title contenders. Im so excited.! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braumiller Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 centre midCheck out Goulon's discipliary record 21 yellows but no red cards all season. Is that a record Dafuge? Herold Goulon is a legend in my own head. In my 07 dafuge game I managed to pick him up during my Conference National campaign, and he stayed with me all the way to where my game fizzled out (the Championship). In the lower leagues he was simply a beast of a DMC, and gave untold protection to my back 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see if you get lucky again dafuge Hope so If it's been logged as a known issue then I would expect it to be fixed in the patch, something like this can't be allowed to remain in the game. By the end of my season I should be in a good position to test it out. I've just been promoted to League 2 and my contract is up for renewal at the end of the season. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> It may be one of those bugs that will only be fixed on new games unfortunately. So perhaps some people just starting can look for it as well. Remember, you CAN requests contracts yourself and don't need to wait for the board to do it for you. Waiting on a single performance evaluation in any job is trouble. note: I see this as a bug only if you've met all your objectives. If you don't meet your objectives, don't be surprised to not see a new contract if you wait until the very end. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I Requested a new contract already in feb. they sayd that they agreed that i deserved a new contract, so - it doesnt mather!!

Always happens when I install a patch. I will wait for the real one. The closing down isn't bothering me really. Not really that obvious in the lower leagues. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah - what exactly is the closing down thing? I never noticed a problem I have now patched but have not noticed any differences in the match engine.......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaNovi started one, I posted in it for some clarity, and it was closed by the testing team sharpish as a known issue. I'd rather assumed it was sorted in the patch tbh.

mattyisalegend Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Kings Lynn Blue Square North 08/09 End of Season Review Ill try and keep this short but we had a 1st season way beyond my expectations. Table league graph So to the play off semis leg 1 leg 2 So onto the final and Leigh who i had failed to beat during the regular season. My task was made harder by captain and vice captain both being unavailable meaning i had to pla 2 19 year olds. play off final I dont want to say too much about this but i was 6inches from promotion. Bryant (who had only played 3 games all season but had to come on as one of my other CMs was at 45% fitness) smashed what would have been the winning penalty against the crossbar. Anyway a few other stats overview bonus payout squad finances confidence player of season top scorer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My team don't really look the same either, I guess the tactic I wrote made the most out of the lack of closing down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
