I wasn't invited to my neighbours bloc party, so I'm having to peak through the curtain.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2021

Another mixed month which started so well, we're through in the cup after a 3-0 win but one of our players  Matus Conka finished on a 5.2 after missing two penalties...it may be a sign. 

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2021

Not a great month and we fall down to 7th but just 4 points off top spot.

[Jimbokav1971]

I know it's childish, but I find it hilarious that you got overlooked for a job in in favour of someone called Norbert.  

[wynter]

Was gonna say Straka looked terrifyingly good and then you moved him on(?)

And he looks very confused.

The DoF moved him on. 

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2021

A very strong month yet Ruzomberok are still top despite only scoring 17 goals. 

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2021

A mixed month but disappointed to lose ground on both Senica and Ruzomberok.

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2021

Just the one game and now the long winter break.

[deltablue]

Hopefully you can get Europe.

Agreed, top half is still the aim but hopefully we can snatch a European spot.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2021/22 Winter Break

Lots of very good results.

No-one has joined us but we've lost two players.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2022

Three wins from three and now we're just a point off of top spot with one game to go before the league splits in two.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2021/22 Youth Candidates

A very good intake!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2022

A mixed month but very surprising to lose to a club near the relegation zone of the division below.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2022

Three games remain and we're 5 points clear.

Zilina have the easiest run-in.

2022/23 Pre-Season

A perfect pre-season and we have a tough match-up against Legia Warsaw in the 2nd Qualifying Round.

We're predicted to do even worse this year, despite winning the league.

Spartak actually beat Legia in the same round in the qualifiers this season, so...

Well that definitely adds to the pressure. 

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2022

We were going through on away goals until Legia Warsaw scored in the 89th minute which drops us down into the Europa League, where we'll face Zrinjski Mostar....who Spartak Trnava also beat in this seasons Champions League. 

  

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2022

We scraped past Zrinjski Mostar and then Celtic just showed us that they were a step above with Leigh Griffiths scoring 4 of their 5 goals.

 

[psychonaut]

Good reading so far. I remember Tatran Presov knocking out a Scottish club in Europe years ago - think it was Dundee United.

Are you using claasens league files, or are they from the 235 league megapack I've seen around?

[kidthekid]

congrats on the title

It was Dundee United in the 1994-95 Cup Winners Cup before losing to Gladbach in the next round.

I'm not using any league files.

Thanks!

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2022

A mixed month and we scrape through in the cup again.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2022

A very busy October due to the winter break being extended because of the World Cup and we're not really doing very well.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2022/23 Winter Break

Almost perfect set of fixtures,

Three join us.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2023

A mixed return to the league and with just one game before the split we haven't guaranteed a championship place.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2022/23 Youth Candidates

Potential but no-one amazing.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2023

We scrape through to the championship group but the aim will have to be a Europa League spot.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2023

We thrashed FC Nitra in the Slovnaft Cup Final to guarantee us European football again next season!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2022/23 End of Season Review

A surprising draw against Slovan Bratislava but it was a poor end to the season but at least we have the Europa League to look forward too!

[Makoto Nakamura]

We're going back to Poland.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2023/24 Pre-Season

We start off with a win in the CS Super Cup which is where the winners of the Slovnaft Cup face the winners of the Pohár České pošty and we got £17,800 for winning it. I wasn't feeling hopeful with facing another Polish side as last time we were knocked out thanks to an 89th minute goal, this time we were knocked out on penalties after conceding in the 90+5 minute.

Europa League will be the aim again.

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2023

Well we haven't set the league alight in the first couple of games.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2023

A much better month, but we're already 9 points off of top spot.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2023

A mixed month but we're still around where we need to be.

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2023

Mixed again and we're out of the cup after missing an 89th minute penalty...guess I'll just let the goalkeeper take them from now on.

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2023

A reasonably strong month with a big win over Ruzomberok helping our goal difference.

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2023

Not the most exciting month and we're back in 5th.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2023/24 Winter Break

Not a great set of friendlies.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2024

Two games left before the split...

 

One in, two out.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2023/24 Youth Candidates

Not too excited by this intake.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2024

Good at home but poor away, at least we're still scoring though.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2024

Mixed again but with four games to go we still have a chance at qualifying for the Europa League.

[Rikulec]

Interesting to see your career actually develop at a realistic pace rather than just have you winning everything after one season at the club. That makes it even a better read than your usual saves.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2023/24 End of Season Review

An unbeaten end to the league but we miss out on European football thanks to the playoff.

Well it was looking good after my first season with Trnava but now we're back to being a mid-table side fighting for Europe, my contract is up this season so I'm thinking of going to another country and seeing how I do elsewhere. Glad you're enjoying it so far!
