As expected, we secured back to back promotions. We sat on top of the table for most of the season, with only a slight drop in form around Jan-Feb. A few tweaks elicited the desired response, and we ran out comfortable winners in the end. I was also pleased to pick up the Manager of the Year Award.
The strikers shared the goals around, and Young Striker from PSNI was the top scorer in the league with 15. (He is becoming one of those players that make FM really engrossing, I feel like I raised him from the backwaters of Northern Ireland). My attacking midfielder was amazing all season, finishing as the Conference National Player of the Year with an incredible average rating of 8.22 over 37 appearances, including 16 MoM awards.
So League Two- is this still LLM? Not sure, but it’s still fun. I am constantly blowing the wage budget but the Board are happy enough with the results. It could be a different story when we don’t romp through League Two.
PSNI finished an impressive 3rd in N.I. Div 1, just one point short of promotion. I like to think that I definitely laid the groundwork, and not at all that I held them back.
It may be some time until the next season though, as I am off to Italy with some other pooves
