First good season I'm having and the thing decides it wants to crash. Cunting bastard thing. Shouldn't have lost too much as I've had autosave on and I don't think the last one was too long ago. But meh, cunts.
Doing well anyway. Joing top with Bury which is a bit random. Brownlie and peacock are doing pretty well together but I'm getting a lot of goals from midfield. That crazy finish dude is getting the assists in and has scored a few aswell.

I was doing crap so I started a new game yesterday and edited in Sturrock, Summerfield and Blackley. Changed Phil Smith's wages and got rid of Wise, Poyet and Ince.
Flew through preseason, managed a win against Blackburn Reserves. Pook keeps crashing goals in from 25+ yards and has an average of 8.
Got Villa as a parent club. I'm hoping they send me Juan Pablo Angel for the rest of the season because none of my strikers except Roberts have scored.
Trying to get in a decent AML because Monky's torn his calf and is out for six months.
Only played one league game so far, beat Chester 1-0. Drawn Cardiff away in the league cup, should be interesting.

Peacock finaly got his scoring boots on and managed a few hat-tricks.

after a getting-to-know-the-game season with stoke, i started off with west brom
top of the league at the beginning of december but only by a point or so. all season ive been pretty rock solid at the back but missing too many chances. but it just all came right, went away to burnley and beat them 8-0
kamara (who'd been finishing like a cunt recently) got 4, koumas 3 and gera 1

Pook got League player of the season :shock: He had the best adverage in the League. I didn't start playing him since October.
I manage to get Toumani Diagouraga for a season loan from Watford. And when I lost 7 out of my first 15 games, I put him and Pook in the centre. Dropped Wise, Ince, Evans and I manage to get onto a 22 match unbeaten run.
Finished 2nd, 3pts behind Hartlepool. I seem to find that younger players win me more matches.
My team:
442 attacking (home) 442 normal (away)
Brezovan
J Smith
Foxe
Ifil
Nicholas
Brown
Pook
Diagouraga
Shakes / Weston
Roberts
Jutkiewicz
I just manage to sign Matt Jansen on a Free.

Has anyone else got ridiculous appearance bonuses for players?
Fola on £800 appearance bonus?
Shakes - £1000
Jack Smith - £800
Ifil - £2000
That's fucked up surely?

I've managed to put it down for the day, round up of a days work,
Promoted as League 2 Champs
Played 2 Pre- Seasons Friendlys
STFC 1- 2 Man City
STFC 2- 2 Sporting CP
Made a few signings, Tom Cradock as recomended by sonic, looked like he's gonna do the job, seems to pair up nicely with the cock.
Had to get a new keeper in, im stil trying to look for a decent one, at the moment i have federici in, he's ok, but inexperienced, tried to get donovan rickets but bradford woudnt let me have him
Signed a couple of Slovacks a ST Pavol Suhoj and AM Licka, not bad, havent had the chance to play em properly yet.
Opening game of league 1 was an epic battle against oldham, went 2-0 up at Half time, they equalised early on in the 2nd half, then got a third in the 85 min, managed to pull one back to 3-3 in the 91's min but a gurney slip up got them a 4th in the 94th min.
I will continue tomorrow.
Any recomended keepers? i have 30,000 to spend.

flammableben's sexy high tempo direct diamond formation. Start of January and I'm top of the league by 3 points with a game in hand. Just went out in the 3rd round of the FA Cup 1-0 at home to Everton. I bet I fuck it up towards the end of the season when my players get injured and tired.
Paul evans has been ace as the DM. Even got a game in for wales. Sort of been key to my game. Classic chasing everyone down whilst still playing the ball out. I'll probably have to replace him with someone younger soon. Got cover with some youngster from Bristol City on loan. Haven't had to play him yet (apart from LDV, league cup) but might put in a bid for him permanently as he looks pretty solid from what I've seen.
Only permanent signing has been that teemu bloke who is pretty ace although he does have quiet patches. Got people in on loan, mainly for cover around midfield and gk.
Aaron brown started the season ace but is out for 3-5 months so I've been playing playing loanee's or Whally on the left. I tend to play more through the AMC so don't need an out and out winger hence Weston on the right instead of Shakes. Although Weston is a moaning little shit. You put any preasure on the team and he starts to cry. Had Holgate and Wells retraining for the right hand side for cover. Wells is a quicker learner although Holgate is still a better player.
Up front has been a combination of whoever's fit. Peacock has the most - 13 in 29, Bronlie has 6 in 13 - with 4 subs as well, but has been playing in the AMC role when there's no one fit. Lucas Justcutit has 5 in 12(5). Christian Roberts has got 3 in 4(3), I transfer listed him at the start of the season then I ran out of strikers and had to play him and he did ok. Then he got injured again. Andy Caton played 9 without scoring so I loaned him out to Aldershot.
Things have got bad upfront though, against Everton I had to play Jake Hyde. Jutciewitcz should be back soon but to be honest I don't think he's going to get much better. He went through an ace patch but he's pretty average.
Defenders have been pretty solid. Vincent Nicholas Ifil Gurney (left to right). Ifils on a good solid run as was Nicholas until he suddenly had 3 games when his moral got reaaly low got a 5 then in the next game he was on a 4 rating and kept letting people past him so I had to sub him off after half an hour. Seems to have recovered now. Maybe Gurney was doing his wife.
And there goes the interesting of Ben's first good half a season. I wonder what wonders will happen next? The adventure continues....

Time to add in my current situation.
Got promotion first season on the last day with a 3-0 win over Bristol Rovers and a lot of thanks to Chester for holding Stockport to a draw and us pinching the third spot.
Currently midtable with the board very happy as I'm operating 6k under their wage budget and us making a nice profit each month.
Just had a disastrous few weeks, mid-week game before I was due to face Arsenal at home in the FA Cup 4th round, Ifil and Nicholas pick up yellow cards and get suspended and Brighton kick lumps out of us and I lose Roberts, Paul Smith and Weston to injury in the same game.
Sat around 12th in League 1 now after losing 4 on the trot as my current keeper couldn't catch a cold and the loan keeper Villa sent me broke his arm so went back for treatment. Smith is back in training so should be fine soon.
Playing 4-3-1-2 at the mo with Nicholas and Smith flying down the wings. Weston is currently my star man sat in the centre of midfield with Evans and Green on loan from Villa. Up front is Roberts and Daryl Murphy picked up on a freebie with Spanish star Iben Espedas sat behind them - instant hero with a debut brace against Bristol City opening day of the season.
Will see how the rest of the season goes but look safe enough to avoid any relegation battle this year and can start clearing some deadwood out to build for a push next season.
