B.W.G Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 End of Season Review- South Park 09/10 League Final Table In brief, had a really good start winning manager in August. Hit December then things started to go downhill slowly. I was winning the league throughout the season and then hit a really bad patch at the end of the season when I couldn't score anything and eventually choked in the last game. Playoff Final Wow now my team finally scores, better late then never I suppose When that first goal went in, I really could of cried:p Cups Combined Counties Premier Cup - Semi-Final: Outplayed deserved to lose, again Couldn't score Combined Counties D1 Cup - 2nd round: Again outplayed and a deserved defeat F.A Vase - 2nd round qualifying: Drew 3-3 first game and had 2 goals disallowed for "offside" then went on to lose the replay after being outplayed. Best Players Top Goal Scorer- Ben Tyson My Player of the Year - Aaron Jarvis Next Seasons Objectives Avoid relegation at all costs Find a tactic to help me score more Pray for a good youth crop to come through Onwards and Upwards WOOOOO!!!!

marinerpompey Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Season Update 2011/12- Combined Counties League Division One Farleigh Rovers 2009/10- 19th CCL1 2010/11- 7th CCL1 2011/12- 1st CCL1 By far the most enjoyable season I have ever had on FM, just proves how worthwhile this challenge is. After last season I felt we needed to really push for the promotion places and we more than succeeded in doing so. A solid run to the semis in the Combined Counties Premier Cup meant the bank balance hit the black for the first time in my career. In the end it was, in my opinion quite fitting, our Captain Elliot Soar who scored the goal to send us up in the second last game of the season. Players Top Scorer- Mike Preston (13) Top Assist- Nick Cooper (9) Player Rating- Danny Remnant (7.15) Fans POTY- Victor Manuel Arias My POTY- Elliot Soar Its probably worth noting that I won manager of the year, somehow none of my players were even nominated for the leagues player of the year. Next years goal is purely to stay up and keep all my players as i have managed to do this year (edit: just lost my top scorer). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.W.G Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 End Of Season Review 10/11 South Park 10/11-Kent Prem Kent Prem WOW is all I can say, I was hoping to avoid relegation this season but the run kept going with a bump every now and then although it took the 30th game to win the title. I did have a take over in mid season but all i got was thanks for your patience, we are not planning any investment....bloody tight chairman!!!!! Cups FA CUP- Met the expectation of 2nd round qualifying and went out with a wimper. FA VASE- Made it to the quarter-finals...earned a replay....then lost due to shooting problems. Kent Prem Cup-Expectations were to get to the semis, I went one round better and won the final as well Final Players Ben Tyson - Top goalscorer for 2nd season running but thats not saying alot when my midfielders score more then the other strikers Sam Collier-Not only my player of the season but the Kent Prem Player of the Season as well and only 17 as well Roger Walker-Walker was my one to watch and what a choice, for a 16 year old he was sensational and I was right in making him my 1st choice left midfielder and as a bonus he was 2nd top scorer behind Tyson. All I hope is that he stays as clubs have become interested in him. One last note....Manager of the Season......hopefully the first of many Onwards and Upwards WOOOOOO!!!

B.W.G Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Pre-Season Update With getting promoted from the Kent Premier Division, I am now going to be playing in Isthmian League First Division South I have been given even odds for promotion which does not reflect that my board wants me to avoid relegation One to watch - For this season there is actually three to keep an eye on Alan English - My Ass Man already rates him as a 1st teamer and I feel he has potential to be one of the best players at the club, with being rated as a first teamer he is sure to have a lot of action this season. Luke Wright - He is the best player to come through South Parks Youth set up. He can play anywhere is midfield but seems to be rated highest at centre. Alex Peat- I'm amazed....a player who can play up front has come through and not only that, he is rated better then my top scorer for the past two seasons Ben Tyson. I feel these three will be relied on probably too much this season but is necessarry as they are better then what i had. Expectations League-Stay Clear of relegation FA Cup- Reach 3rd qualifying FA Trophy - Reach 2nd qualifying Isthmian League Cup - Reach 2nd round One last note 30/38 players are under 21 so I have a very young squad indeed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Mark! Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 FM09 - Merthyr 2028/29 Mid Season Update - Championship - Marky Mark! Jan 2029 After 9.5 great seasons for Merthyr which produced 355 games and 194 goals, Mark Quinn has steadfast refused to sign a contract renewal, and with a heavy heart has been allowed to be transfered to Premiership club Birmingham for a club record $45M (easily beating the previous record of $250k) At the halfway mark of the season Merthyr were sitting 17th in the Championship (only 2 points behind a struggling Liverpool), maybe not fantastic, but much better then Merthyr have ever looked previously in the Championship, so it will be very interesting to see how Merthyr goes without their star player in Quinn, who is now unquestionalby the most talented player ever to come out of the Merthyr youth system.

B.W.G Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 End of Season Review South Park 11/12 - Isthmian League First Division South Final Table - I was only hoping to avoid relegation but South Park made me proud and over achieved. The only downside is my team need to strengthen everywhere except midfield. If this happens I should get a play off place and maybe even push for promotion. Cups One word- dismal.....I got to expected rounds and went out. Hope for better next season. Players Top Scorer Jason Lee - Ben Tyson's run of being top goal scorer for the season is over, long live Jason Lee!! Although he didn't exactly score many they were important in the long term in trying to avoid relegation. Player of the Season Matt Williams - No contest really, defended when needed to, chipped in with vital goals, 3rd top scorer for the season....not bad for a left back. Ones to Watch Review Luke Wright - A solid first season, was first choice throughout, hopefully he will get better with experience but has shown his ability, long may it continue Alan English - The 2nd out of three prospects. Again a solid season in the heart of defence, chipped in with 2 goals both of which were winners. On the downside he has poor disciplinary problems but i love a player who isn't afraid to get stuck in Alex Peat - He was rated better then Ben Tyson off reports but failed to show why. Involved in 13 games and not even showing potential, to say the least I am pretty disappointed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.W.G Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Pre-Season Update 2nd season in the Isthmian League First Division South Expectations League- Safe mid-table position. FA Cup- 3rd qualifying round FA Trophy - 2nd qualifying round Isthmian League Cup - 2nd round Ones to Watch Craig Wright Report Wright is my Ass Mans choice.I can only see physicals and some mentals as why but other technically he seems awful but also has potential according to the report. Tom Barrett Report Barrett is my choice as he seems to be better then other strikers in the squad. Also he seems to have potential to be a good target man as well, also his strength is being a team player which is is essential as the team will need to play as a team to meed mid table expectations. My one hope for this season is try and at least gain a playoff spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoff: We were given a nice home draw against Canterbury City. We definately saved the best till last, having never scored more than 2 goals in match, we destroyed them 4-2. We were 1-0 up at half time scored early on in the 2nd half to put us in a comfortable lead and despite a flurry of goals in the last 10 mins we hung on and finished it off with a 4th goal in the 93rd min Cups: FA Vase: rubbish, we were unlucky to lose to Greenwood, they only had 1 shot in the whole match Birmingham Floodlit Cup: same story as FA Vase we were going well but didn't take our chances in the semis Finances: Nice and Healthy Season League Position Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009/10 Midland Combinations Premier 2nd Prmoted via Playoffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
