Season 2005/6

Started off by getting some extra back room staff in and went about signing every half decent low waged person I could. I managed to get in 8 extra players. Now I had a squad with some depth and this allowed me to rotate the players and keep them fresh for most of the season.

A mixed season with me mainly playign around witht actics and formations and tryign to work out my side.

ECN: 12th P42 W13 D15 L14 F51 A49 GD+2 Pts54
FA CUP: 4th Qual Round Lost 2v0 to Hereford
FA TROPHY: 1st Round Proper Lost 3v0 to Exeter

Season 2006/7

Had my team and tactics sorted for this season and managed to get in another scout who found 3 very nice players for me. A great ST, DM and DC.
They fitted my formation and tactics perfectly and I started off the season on fire. Going unbeaten for 14 games. I had a bit of a mini crisis in January but managed to recover and sneak a play off place. I managed to scrape my way through Leigh RMI in the Semi's 1v0 on ag and beat Northwitch on pens in the final! A magical FM moment.

ECN: 4th P42 W18 D13 L11 F62 A45 GD+17 Pts67
FA CUP: 3rd Qual Round Lost 1v0 to Sutton
FA Trophy: 1/4 Final Lost 2v1 to Lancaster

Season 2007/8

A new league and a new challenge. Had to let go of a couple of my more senior players and my scouts again did the business. They found a cracking Right Winger and 3 other useful squad players.
The season started off very badly for me. Out of both cups in the first qualifying rounds and with 1 point from my first 8 league games. Managed to get a few results together and eventually picked up some momemtum towards the end of the season which saw me finish 2 points off the drop.

EC: 20th P42 W9 D11 L22 F48 A71 GD-23 Pts38
FA CUP: 1st Qual Round Lost 1v0 to Havant and Waterloo
FA TROPHY: 1st Qual Round Lost 2v1 to Shepshed

Will keep you updated.

Thought challenge updates were going in the challenge thread?

retired_lapepe · 10-30-2005, 04:11 PM

How did you finish 3 seasons already? :eek:

retired_alanalan · 10-30-2005, 04:13 PM

Did not go to many lectures last week and sleep is for the weak.

retired_lapepe · 10-30-2005, 04:18 PM

I'm in the same boat, but I've only done 1.5 seasons, and had two allnighters. Struggling like fock now with a paper that's due tomorrow! :thdn:

I assume you watch matches only with comments. I'm using 2D Key, that can take quite some time..

retired_alanalan · 10-30-2005, 04:19 PM

@d fast as can go. Holiday in between matches.

retired_lapepe · 10-30-2005, 04:21 PM

Okay, still good though. Small database probably helps a lot too

mkus...I'm going to ask the idiotic question. So bring marshmallows if you must. We don't do separate threads for these updates...but we still are waiting the three seasons and updating in the Challenge thread?

Only reason I ask is that it seemed people didn't want to hear about updates in that thread but rather just general comments about the challenge.

Do you want to see 30 different Workington update threads?

If you read in there, Glyn, as challenge setter and LLM mod has said updates to remain in the challenge thread.
