My long ball tactics that served me well in the demo have been abandoned, I'm actually managing to get Chippenham to play some decent football.

A few new signings with a bit of pace and a new goalkeeper has made a lot of difference to my recent results.

Just taken charge of Mangotsfield United. Fingers crossed!

Tiverton Town - Conf South -August 08 Pre Season Report

Spent ages building up a backroom staff assessing pretty much every free transfer out there. Im not too happy with my sqaud and have had a horrible start to my career.

Tranfers

Squad

Fixtures

Got the FM legend Cherno Samba in on loan from the my parent club, Plymouth. Hoping he can bad 20+ goals to try and save me this season. Another notable signing has to be the 44 year old Guentchev with some fantastic mental stats but the wost physical.

Noticed that my scouts and ass man seem to rate every player as a buy at all costs and seem to believe that every one of my players deserves a 5 star rating.

Harrow Borough have signed an International Superstar on a free from Reading :cool:

thats becuase they compare to you team now so you had no players so anyone was better than no one

Game arrived today, and with the Merseyside derby out of the way, I'm gonna give this a go. I never completed it before, but success in Gundo's challenge over the summer gave me hope that I could finally complete this as well. Am expecting to face severe tactical problems from the start though, as I'm usually slow to pick up the finer points of the game.

Holidaying as of now.

Yeah was amazed when he signed. He asked for 600p/w so I offered him my max (450pw) and blew my entire transfer budget on boosting his signing on fee to try and entice him Hopefully it's worth it.

AFC Hornchurch - Blue Square South - August 2008

I've just played my first game in charge after setting this game up late last night. I had nothing but youth players throughout the squad so I filled up my staff and signed as many players as I could get and still be under my wage budget (I'm £63 under it now).

Full Squad (Excluding Youth) - Transfers In/Out (The only thing lower than the bottom player on the transfers is that I spent £0)

I have enough players now to realistically be able to have a first and reserve team, so that's nice.

My pre-season was okay, 2-2 draw with King's Lynn, a pretty embarrising 7-0 loss to Babelsberg, 1-0 loss to Bedford, 1-1 draw with Grantham and a 2-2 draw with Tonbridge. Nothing spectacular, but at least we were scoring goals and on most occasions not getting beat.

My first league game was amazing. The match engine is just brilliant playing at this level. I'm glad we were playing Merthyr Tydfil though as better opposition would have punished us. Saying that, they did have the ball in the net on 2 occasions and both time the referee pulled play back for an earlier incident just before they scored, so that was lucky. But after one game, somehow we find ourselves sitting second :cool: It won't last though.

Sorry about this update being a little long, my next one will probably be after December in game time and will be shorter and to the point. On a side note, does anyone have any idea where I could find the SS08 kits for AFC Hornchurch? I have most teams kits at this level and usually get them off FMGLive but they seem to have some kind of server error at the moment so I can't check there.
