Merthyr Tydfil - August 2008 - Post-Pre-Season Update
After starting with no players or staff, I quickly brought in a pair of scouts to look at any players who might know how to kick a ball. It actually worked out far better than I expecter, and managed to bring
25 players within just a few weeks. Pre-season went well, with scoring being no problem at all, although my defence does seem to leak a lot of goals in the later stages. It looks like I might of uncovered a star player in
Charles Ademeno who managed a mighty 11 goals in 6 friendlies.
Going into my first league game against Crawley, I was unsure how we were going to cope. However, a controlling first half performence gave us a 2-0 lead going into the break. With a comfortable win looking likely, my defence collapsed in their usual way... and the match finished 3-2 to Crawley -
Results.
Oh well, long way to go yet. My attack seems great but I'll definetely be looking to bring in some defenders. I checked my affiliated clubs thing again, and found out that my link with Cardiff doesn't benefit me at all (they get first option on my players, we get... nothing), so I'm not sure about getting loans in from them. Meh.
