Hello everybody, it's me back again

Lack of internet access bounds me to nothing but those "couple of posts per season" update, though if it would turn out to be half popular than the first one (Telford), that would be just fine. So, let's start, shall we?

Technical Background
Leagues enabled: all available with England being simulated at extra detail (that's 114 i beleive)
Database Size: huge

Season 2004/05 Part I
Having just came to the club i discover nothing but a worthless assman, coach and a decent physio.
Board expectations: gain respectable league position
Supporters expectations: the same
Transfer budget of 6K pounds seems pretty useless though.

Team rating (1 to 10, relative/absolute rating)
Goalkeepers: 3/1 - only one goalie, and he's not that great
Defenders: 4/1 - either old and slow or young and stupid; mostly two are usefull
Midfielers: 7/2 - strongest part of the team, quality and quantity leaves enough space for maneuver
Attackers: 5/1 - neither technical nor physical, no more

Progress
Conference North turned out to be quite a competition, with 2nd and 20th team being separated by a mere 15 points at most. Although we were off to a nice start, then the lack of defensive quality turned into a real disaster in GA column, meaning most part of Aug-Feb part we were at 15-20 places with the board slowly losing patience. At last there came a vote of confidence, and it repeated two more times by this stage of the season.

We've came up to the 1st round of FA Cup, no more cup games since then.

Right now it's mid-February, we're 9th with 5 points below play-off spot, and the board - surprisingly - is satisfied with me. Though main battles are just ahead.

to be continued.

One of the best North teams pre-patch, they seem to suck with it though

But i haven't managed them post-patch, oh Predictable one.

Not with a 5.0.2 game anyway.

Thanks for the warm welcome

Unfortunatelly we have no that NASA stuff as Nobby found out, it's still that good old KGB comp that's still working.

Turning all leagues on is a sort of custom since CM 3 i guess, can't do anything about it.

Comments on finishing part of season 04/05 will follow soon.
