season 11(2013-2014): End of season update
The board expanded my stadium to the required minimum, leaving me with an outstanding loan.
Naturally, my board expected me to battle bravely against relegation, and so did the fans.
First game of the season: Newcastle - Dag&Red: 0-4!!!
Woooooow, what a start, I immediatly started dreaming of an easy season, without relegation worries, and maybe even a ticket for Europe.
Second game of the season: Dag&Red - Norwich: 1-6!!!
Back to reality, I just got thrashed by the only team I was sure of to end lower than me in the league. Here are the relegation worries.
For the rest of the season, things became more realistic, I lost to the big teams, managed to snatch some points against the average teams and beat+lost some against other relegation candidates.
After 35 Games, this was the situation
14th: Ipswich 39pts
15th: Wolves 34pts
16th: Brighton 30pts
17th: Dag&Red 29pts
18th: Sheff Utd 27pts
19th: Liverpool 26pts
20th: Norwich 22pts
Just above a relegation spot, and I could still reach 15th. The calendar matched us against Wolves(away), Arsenal(home) and Sheff Utd(away)
First game: 3-1 loss
Second game: 4-2 loss
I could no longer make it to 16th, but I still stood 17th, so a point was enough(Liverpool had the worst goaldiff ever in
prem.)
Third game: First half was very calm, untill my left back curled a beatifull free-kick on the head of my striker: 0-1 for Dag&Red!
Second half started very turbulent, with us missing about 5 chances, then 62th minute, my left back tackled their striker in the box:
Result: Red + penalty.
After that we were totally outnumbered and got thrashed: 1-4.
Dag&Red, Liverpool and Norwich are going back down. I'm quite sure I will not get the sack, but I'm worried by the the outstanding loan, wich will be a drain on my funds. Luckily, I got a lot of freebies coming, and was able to sell some bench-warmers for a nice fee.
My stolen dm/f (r/c) performed quite well in his 9(17) games, and has the third highest average rating. He's already being followed by Inter, ManUtd, Leeds(div2), Liverpool and Anderlecht. I hope I can keep him untill I can give him a normal contract(he's still on youth)
