Giggs - The Road to Managerial Greatness
View attachment 84035
So i have done a Giggs story before with FM 16 and it was good fun, so thought i'd give it a go again on '17 as the legend is still not a manager. Starting the season unemployed and given him the coaching badges that he currently has as well as the experience. Haven't done one of these in a while so will be interesting how I try and avoid getting sacked.

Took a few months but as the sackings started coming and a few opportunities started rolling through, Luton Town has become the challenge. Currently sitting at 21st in the League 2 table and only 4 wins to their name, a lot of work looks to be in order. Thankfully I have a transfer window coming, so time to evaluate and look at where this team is failing.
it didn't take long to realise where it's been going wrong...the top goalscorer only has 3 goals to his name...
Squad in general, could be better, definitely need to strengthen all over the park, January can't come soon enough...

After going 2-0 down i was expecting the worst, striker Mackail-Smith just was playing **** along with my wingers, a few changes and we managed to get the game back to 2-2. Nice to see we had more chances from the game, meaning going in the right direction but we can have all the chances in the world, without a goalscorer it won't mean a thing. Still a solid comeback and I can't complain.

L2 - Grimsby vs Luton - Away

And after 5 games without a win, we managed to ****** one away at Grimsby. If it wasn't for a dodgy penalty that thankfully Lloyd Saxton caught with ease this result would of been completely different. Again a leaky defence early on making us have to come back from behind, this is definitely something that needs sorting
New Signing

Andoh is a hatter
Enoch Andoh signs on a free, hoping to give more support on the wings and a bit more youth and pace into the squad.

Mauri Signs
Mauri signs for the Hatters on a free, hoping to give a bit more creativity in the middle of the park and back up for Cameron McGeehan who is the only real creative player we have to sit behind the striker.

L2 - Luton vs Morecambe - Home

Well the plan was to take the pressure off McGeehan a bit with the signing of Mauri but this proves why he is one of the better players in the squad, we managed to keep Morecambe at bay with only 1 attempt on target. Two wins on the bounce is a nice way to get Luton back on track.

So far have only taken charge for 3 games but it's all been positive since taking over Luton, with some fresh faces joining to bring depth to the squad. It's going to be an interesting few months and it's too early to see where this will end but there are many games yet to play.
