Just wondered if anyone else is playing as Workington Reds and how they're getting on as I'm getting very frustrated with it! They're classed as relegation battlers but I do feel I can get them promoted with a good run. My first season I had a great start, a good few wins and halfway through the season I was in 6th place, just outside the playoffs and having plenty of 1-0 wins using a modified 4-4-2 with a T shape in midfield using a DM in front of the back 4 with 3 across the middle. Unfortunately I got in a rut and had an awful run, couldn't win to save my life! Ended up 12th, 7 points outside the playoffs.
Second season I'm just over halfway through.. Managed to pick up a striker from Carlisle who's now worth 60k, sold a homegrown striker for 300k which put some fantastic money in the bank and let me invest in a couple of players to bolster the squad. Again I had a great start, was in 2nd for a while then went 10 games without winning.. Just got my first win again, a 7-3 over Burscough, laying in 14th, 5 points off the Playoffs. My previous tactics weren't working at all so I've switched to a back 3 with 2 wingbacks, a DM, 2 in central midfield and 2 up front which works well with the 3 midfielders and wingbacks all going forward, I always seem to have men in the right positions.
The conference North seems to be a very tight affair with maximum 10 points seperating the playoffs right down to about 17th or 18th place!
I'd be interested to know how anyone else is getting on! If I can't get in the playoffs in my third season I'll be accepting one of the offers I'm getting from League Two clubs as I feel there's only so far I can take Workington
