Dev'o Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Once dated a girl from the South... A Southwick Career Met a girl nearly fifteen years ago, together for a few years but it taught me one thing... Big tits, curly blonde hair and a call girl accent will only get you so far. The aim of the save Southwick have never risen beyond the ninth level of the pyramid in the shadow of their bigger and more illustrious neighbour Brighton & Hove Albion. They've got a small 1,450 capacity stadium so there is plenty of room for growth, and I'm hoping to at least get them into the Vanarama leagues before long. Short term Goals - Make the FA Cup round Proper - Promotion to Level 8 - Promote a regen to 50 matches. (from Season 2) - Win some lower level silverware.

Dev'o Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 The wage budget of champions. The bad news? We're currently spending 524 pounds per week... To give you an idea, we're basically bleeding a Nintendo Switch each week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev'o Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 The rock at the heart of our defence... At 20 pounds a week, I can only hope that he'll be worth his money, but fits within my 'sign players less than 23 that aren't bollocks' philosophy. Amusingly, he's shades ahead of my next defender now apparently who falls to 1.5 CA :| Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev'o Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 A chance? A hope? The management seem to think we're only capable of top half, but with the signing of Roberts, we're allegedly a chance for that playoff berth (2nd and 3rd) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev'o Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 July 2019 It's taken a while to get the squad together, with everyone over the age of 35 throwing themselves at the club, and only Owen Roberts coming into the side. Toby Lovegrove has been great and the 16 year old will definitely be one to watch this season for us. Other than that, just a stock standard July, with just one friendly remaining (oddly after our season begins on 4th August!) We kick off the season at home to Steyning Town before welcoming AFC Darwen to Old Barn Way (yes that's the name of the pitch) in the FA Cup Extra preliminary round. Win that, and we're a win away from the quali rounds. Win that and we're three wins from the competition proper. Southwick haven't qualified for the FA Cup since 1975, so let's aim to end that drought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan BHTFC Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Southwick have made it to Level 7 in the late 80's/early 90's. They reached 3rd place in the Isthmian Division One which was the same level as today's Isthmian Premier. Also thanks for starting a game with my club!

Dev'o Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 August 2019 It's been an interesting first month at the helm of Southwick. I've been forced to make do with a rag-tag group of players who just don't want to leave the club - luckily some of them are half decent. Lovegrove and Coulson have led the line strongly, with Hall putting in a good shift in midfield in a 4-4-2 formation. Our FA Cup dreams come to an end with a loss against Level 7 side Hartley Wintney, but we put up a good fight and even opened the scoring before they plundered three past us. That said a promising start, but we're definitely going to need to offload some of these players as there is no longer an FA cup run to pay for them!

Dev'o Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 We are top of the league, say we are top of the league... I'm not going to complain. 30 games to go but a man can dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev'o Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 September We're not top of the league anymore, but we have two games in hand and are still undefeated. Simon Hall is a revelation in midfield and Coulson has formed a strong partnership with both Dan Smith and David Graham who I've brought in from the Southern Combination Premier Division. We're out of the Peter Bentley Cup, but we're snared a first round berth in the FA Vase, which has so far netted us just shy of 2,000 pounds for the kitty.

Dev'o Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 October 2018 A Flawless Month We've had another solid few weeks with Dan Smith stepping up in the forward line and Paul Coulson again chipping in here and there. One of our young guns, Toby Lovegrove returned from a groin tear and has been pushing the forwards for a position in the starting eleven. Simon Hall is a revelation with six goals from 11 starts in the league, and Gareth Close leads the league in assists. But best of all, we're very much top of the table with two games in hand and if we keep this form up we might just snare an unlikely promotion. Sorry the updates have been so few and far between, but the Level 14 DB runs rather slowly atm, and I have it running all the way down to L14. @Dan BHTFC do you know if reducing the leagues to Level 10 mid-game breaks the file? As it would make updates a lot quicker as of next season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
