Maw74 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 This game starts in the year 2072 and is a spin off from my Stopsley Utd save. I want to do a career where I move clubs, I have played 16, 17 & 18 but can't get far into the games before I make a return to 15, can't really explain why that is just like 15 more than the others, not saying it is better or perfect but I just love it. My manager for this game will be JONNY ENGLISH. No not this guy. This guy > English will start at......... Blackburn Rovers are in the Vanarama Conference North. They have been League One and lower since 2024/2025. Ewood Park has been cut to a 14,924 capacity. _______________________________________________________ JONNY ENGLISH "I have no interest to manage abroad, I only care about English football" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Results - July, August & September 2072 So far so good but it could have been much much better, we led against Guiseley and Nuneaton but were denied by late goals, we were 2-0 up against Kidderminster and again we were denied by a late goal, against Hyde we gave up a 2-0 lead and in the defeat against Oldham we led before a 88th minute own goal saw us slip to our first defeat of the season.

Thanks, yeah hopefully, It will be interesting to see what clubs I get to manage, might set a limit as to maximum time I can spend at one club, it will also be interesting to see how Stopsley Utd do without me after 58 years.

Maw74 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Results - October & November 2072 October was mostly superb apart from the poor result away to Hednesford. Obviously the standout result being our thrashing of leaders Stalybridge. November wasn't too bad either, we were thumped in the FA Cup and lost a tight game to promotion rivals Worcester but did get some revenge in the cup. Adedipe picks up our second player award. Ord picks up his second award. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maw74 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Results - December 2072 & January 2073 December was a mixed bag of results, dumped out of the cup and two pathetic defeats in the league, at least we got revenge for the cup loss. January was much better as we won four out of our five games. The loss to promotion rivals Leamington was disappointing and are five points clear. No awards for us, Collins (on loan from Stopsley) is the closest we got. Karl Ord dominating this award. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Results - February, March & April 2073 We won three and drew one in February including a 2-1 win over leaders Stalybridge, that completed the double over our big rivals but we had to settle for second. We suffered two heavy defeats in March and that pretty much ended our hopes of catching Stalybridge, defeat to MK Dons meant we had to settle for a play-off spot. We face Worcester in the Play-Off Semi-Finals!Worcester did the double over us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Conference North Play-Off Semi-Finals! It was a nightmare start and it was looking like we would have our work cut out in the second leg when we went 2-0 down on 62 minutes. Archer pulled a goal back just 4 minutes later and I would have settled for that, but Collins levelled on 80 minutes and Rawlins gave us the lead just five minutes later, so we go to the second leg with a 3-2 lead. It was a nervy game, well for me anyway, nothing much happening but to be honest I would be happy with that, I was even happier when top scorer Curtis Murray settled my nerves by put us two ahead. That goal was enough to settle the tie and send us through to the final. Aggregate: Blackburn Rovers 4 Worcester City 2 We face Stamford in the final, They beat Leamington 3-1 on Aggregate.

Maw74 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Conference North Play-Off Final! Murray Double Secures Rovers Promotion! Two early goals from star striker Curtis Murray sent us up to the Conference Premier. We should have added to those goals and it would have been great to see Murray get a hat-trick, it was a solid display and never really in any doubt after the opening ten minutes.

Thanks, ok yeah we have come out on top in the head to heads so far and we play them again, already played them once this season, I am 30 league games into my second season so have got some updating to do but a bit of a spoiler, it is not looking good for Stalybridge at the moment. 9 hours ago, Sambacutilamba said: I will follow, I like Blackburn That's good, When I started I didn't really have a time frame for how long I would be at Blackburn, well only started with a one year contract anyway, don't want to jump around too quickly but also don't want to stay at clubs for too long. anyway more news on my Blackburn spell to come soon.

Maw74 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Season's Expectations Transfers - Three Players In. We were able to complete the signing of Raggett from Stopsley Utd after he had spent the previous two seasons on loan with us, Calgan will add strength to our defence (even though he was sent off on debut ), Orrett will offer us extra option on the right. Key Players. Full Blackburn Rovers Squad Results - July, August, September, October & November 2074 Rampant Rovers Top The Table! Well what can I say apart from WOW, I wasn't expecting this, another season of consoliadtion would have been fine, even just being in touching distance of play-off places would have been great, some of the wins were tight with some late winners but we deserved them anyway. It's just typical though, we go nineteen games unbeaten then suffer two defeats on the bounce. HAVE THE WHEELS COME OFF? WILL WE NOW SLIP?

Maw74 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Results - December 2074, January & February 2075 In A Terrible Slump But Rovers Still Top Table! We bounced back very well from those two defeats and went on a winning run. However the wheels have come off as we are now in a terrible slump, this is turning into a nightmare, we have blown a massive lead and it will be quite a setback if we only make play-offs and maybe lose out on promotion after our amazing early form. Jonny English "It has been terrible but we still lead, if the players buck up we can do this." Eight Clubs Have Made Jonny English Offers! Northampton, Hednesford, Newport Co, Braintree, Bury, Accrington, Ebbsfleet & Barnet have all been after the manager. All offers were rejected but English has applied for a couple of jobs.

Maw74 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Luton Town Make English Offer! Luton are currently 18th in League 1, it would be a good step up divisions.

This game even though the stats are nowhere near that Burton win. This was the winning goal though, we had nobody really close to scoring so the OG was brilliant.
