"Carl Murtagh (On loan from Chelsea)"

Do you mean Carl Magnay? the centre half?

retired_heidigoebel

Been mentioned, i also signed Mustapha Hadji.

He is an AMRC who is quality.

Some other decent players who ive come across.

Nathan Fisher FC, decent pace and accel, starts game on a free as he was released by Boro in the Summer, but IRL is at Gretna.

Two other players who were released by Boro are reasonable also.

Richard Langthorne DC and
Jason Honeyman D/MR

Fisher played one season for me at Blyth and was sold on for £20k + 50% and a friendly and offers for Langy have been getting towards £20k also.

Matthew Wicks DLC is a great signing, he used to play for arsenal.

Dean Gordon D/WBL ex Boro, Cov and still reasonable for season 1.

Andy Jordan DC ex Hartlepool, lacks a little pace but solid.

other great free signings are
Matt Brazier
Robbie Foy
Ben Thornley
Dean Sturridge

And my all time ever FM fave Carl Laurie.
Dont be mistaken by his poor stats, he will be the greatest player you have. Can play all over the back line and is superb to have on the bench.

Randomly picked Nuneaton Borough to play with in the Conference North. All English leagues loaded with SPL and Scottish First Division. Coventry were our parent team when I arrived and I got 3 players from them on loan. They were:

Bradley Jones - DR,DL,DC - 20 years old, played him mostly at DC and he was fairly solid. Played in mostly all our games.

Liam Davis - AML - Was my first choice left winger. Made 14 assists and scored 5 goals in 52 appearances and was one of my best players.

Stuart Giddings - DL,WBL,ML,AML - Outstanding at left back.

Also got Mark Forker(DC,MC) on loan from Hearts and he played alongside Jones most of the season and proved a good loan signing.

Signed striker Stuart Richardson on a free transfer who scored 36 goals in 50 starts, Brian McColligan(DM) from Bathgate Thistle who played in midfield very well and Scott Murray(GK) from Queens Park.

In October brought in two more loan signings - Bjarni Vidarsson(MC) from Everton who I'd highly recommend. He scored 23 goals from midfield and won player of the year and Michael Coulson from Barnsley(AMR,ST).

Following players left/were sold:

Mark Noon 1k to Havant & W
Connor Franklin 20k to Halesowen
Jamie Hood 1k to Halesowen
Darren Acton 3k to Halesowen
Danny Williams 1k to Leigh
Robert Oddy 1k to Redditch
Jamie Towers 5k to Workington
Robe Howe free transfer
Chris Robinson free transfer

Total made: 32k.

League

Won it at a canter in the end up. Was neck and neck with Hinckley for most of the season before they hit some awful form near the end.

League Table

Cups

FA Cup: Knocked out 2nd Round by Huddersfield.
FA Trophy: Knocked out 2nd Round by Grays.
Setanta Shield: Beat Stevenage 4-1 in the final to win it. \o/

Losing 172k a month on paying a loan which is an absolute killer.

Next season should be aiming for a play-off spot if we can renew a few of those loan signings. :thup:

i managed to replicate my run of good form before my game crashed and was top of the league with 45 minutes to go on the last gme of the season. I was top by one goal on goal difference and was currently 2-0 away at southport. however its a game of two halves and we succumbed to a sickening 3-2 defeat and finished 4th. still the play-offs beckonned.

I was drew against 3rd place tamworth who had not lost a game in 10 and they managed to pull off a 1-0 win over us at our place in the first leg. In the second leg we dropped behind by another goal, an error by my keeper and i was fumming thinking we had throw away a hard seasons work. However i made three subs and changed to an all out attack formation i keep in reserve for these times and we managed to net twice in the last 10 minutes. thinking it was going on away goals i went defencive and managed to keep the lead, i was shocked then when we went to extra time but we fought through that and went to penalties.

we lost 5-4 on pens with Greg Palmer missing the vital penalty. Well role on a nother season in the conference north.

That is if i am offered a new contract they seem to be in two minds on whether i get one or not. First it stated they were unsure then they wanted to start negotiations asap so i asked them for a new contract now they are unsure again.

To Be Continued...


Now, those three players i mentioned that i signed at the start and would report back on if they turned out to be good.

Daniel Maguire - AMRC/FC - very effective player in any of these positions. Was released from his club

Danzelle St. Louis Hamilton - GK - Keep numerous clean sheets in the second half of the campaign propelling us up the league. Was also released from his club

the thrid aced as a decent back up but not worth mentioning as a good signing

Conall Murtagh ? from Wrexham ?

Squads shaping up nicely for our first season in the BS Premier.

Looking around for a MR and have had no luck so far, would Mustapha Hadji do the trick for me in that position?

suitechic1979

Have a look at Daniel Maguire for right midfield, he is excellent for me

retired_aefrb

Isn't on my game, bugger!

The way i have managed to get my players on FT contracts was just offer them longer ones and it should work really. As for staff thats different, only way i got them to full time contracts was when my team went full time.
