I started a new LLM game, but had a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I had unfinished business at Edgeley Park. I went back to an autosave about three months before the errors appeared to give this game one last chance... It was fine
Season 2015/16 - League One
With almost one million pound to spend, I set about strengthening the squad in key areas. Biggest expenditure was a 21 year old Jamaican Striker from Darlington. Also acquired some promising new youngsters to add to the already youthful reserve team.
Season turned out to be a good one. By christmas we were sitting comfortably in second place. However, a nine match winless streak saw us drop to sixth position with only four games to go. My new Jamaican striker was proving to be a shrewd purchase with over 20 League goals by this point. He demanded a move away from club so I dropped him to the Reserves. His replacement - a young English striker who had some U21 call-ups - bagged six in the last four and propelled us back up to second place and promotion. Weston-super-Mare won the playoffs!
P46 W21 D15 L10 F62 A47 Pts78 (Pos - 2nd)
Highlight: Promotion!
Lowlight: Losing 2-0 to a very poor Huddersfield team in the JPT Semi-Final
Star Man: 22 year old Jamaican Striker
Top Scorer: 22 year old Jamaican Striker (22 goals)
In total six first team players were either banished to the reserves or free transferred for demanding a move away and/or refusing to sign a new contract. Tough but fair!
