Makoto Nakamura Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yes I apologise it's another career. I've really struggled to become attached to any clubs so I'm heading back to England, or more specifically Cornwall. Last FM I spent some time managing Porthleven but now with @Dan BHTFC adding in the Trelawny leagues I'm going to go a bit lower, down to the 13th tier to St. Buryan or the Trelawny Premier League. Why St. Buryan? Well, I like 'geographically challenged' places let's say, and St. Buryan FC is the closest club to Land's End. And why Cornwall? Well, Truro are the best side in Cornwall and they're currently in the Vanarama South promotion playoff spots and I don't think there are any other Cornish sides above the 10th tier. Also, just this season alone 4 teams in the Trelawny League have had to fold due to a lack of players and with Cornwall being a fair distance away from anywhere else in the country (Devon have Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City) It would cost quite a lot of money to travel outside the county so Cornish clubs struggle in affording the step up. *Enhance* *Enhance* *Enhance* *Enhance* I am well aware that the level 22 file has issues but even if this does get lost to a crash dump I will be restarting as St. Buryan once the full file is out, in a test save I'd holidayed until the 3rd season with no problems at all. We have no players so I'll sign up all these greys to make do until the youth candidates come through. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 2017/18 Pre-Season Decent pre-season with victory over both the sides in the Isles of Scilly. With me offering contracts to all the grey players it's shot us up to league favourites but hopefully we can just stick to top half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 September 2017 An almost perfect month with us almost snatching a point against Halsetown but Callum Goodchild missed a 94th minute penalty. In terms of tactics I'm not using a downloaded tactic! I'm listening to the assistant manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 October 2017 And what a difference a month makes, from 2nd we're now down to 9th with 4 losses from 4. On the plus side our best striker who broke his ankle in the 1st pre-season game should be back from injury very soon, hopefully we'll see Gareth Tewkesbury among the scorers very soon.

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 December 2017 The first increase of many. Defeat to Halsetown but on the whole it was a very good month and we move up a couple more places to 6th. 5 players have left us, Archie made 6 appearances for the 1st team and 9 appearances with 3 goals for our reserves in the Trelawny 3rd Division, Jammal made 15 appearances for the 1st team, Kallum made 7 appearances for the reserves, Steve made 3 appearances for the 1st team and 4 for the reserves and Rory made 16 appearances for the 1st team as well as 4 for the reserves.
