The silence of a changing room after a playoff defeat is a heavy, suffocating thing. It doesn't matter that we defied the media's expectations, or that we took a squad of local lads into the absolute trenches of the promotion battle with a frozen summer transfer window. When the final whistle...

The January transfer window is a casino where desperate clubs bet chips they don't have. At the Narcís Sala, our chips were non-existent, but the cracks in the squad were widening. I sat in my office on deadline night, watching the clock tick down, knowing that doing nothing was a gamble, but...

The floodlights at the Narcís Sala have a way of exposing everything. In the heat of August, they promised glory; by the cold damp of December, they just show the bruises. I stood in the tunnel after the 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Valencia Mestalla, listening to the echoing silence of a crowd...

The air in the Carrer de Santa Coloma is thick with the scent of coffee and the quiet, heavy anticipation of a neighborhood that breathes football. In the shadow of the Narcís Sala, the posters still bear the stripes of the Senyera—red and yellow, the colors of a people who refuse to be...

Season 5 – Bittersweet, But Smashing Expectations As we reach the end of Season 5, it’s another highest-ever finish for the club… but I can’t lie, there’s a small part of me that feels like there’s some unfinished business here. Results After the winter window closed, we really kicked on again...

Season 5 – Mid Season Update Well… at the end of the last update we said survival was the aim this year. Yeah… we might need to rethink that. Results The Championship didn’t exactly start how we wanted. It was a bit rocky early on and I was clinging to the idea of the “Kev ratio” — keep it...

Season 5 – Welcome to the Championship So here we are… our first ever season in the Championship. And yeah, this is going to be a serious uphill battle. This summer has been a bit of a tricky one in places, but with the money starting to increase as we climb the leagues, we’ve been able to do...

Season 4 – Keep on Rolling Babyyyyyy… Well, as the title suggests… the Wanderers train is not slowing down anytime soon! The Results I mean, just look at it… a sea of green. It’s been an unbelievable season. Another record-breaking run, only 5 losses in the league, and we didn’t just go up...

Season 4 – A Slightly Delayed Mid-Season Review… Apologies for the delay on this one — Easter got in the way a bit and FM time took a hit. But we’re back, we’ve made some serious progress in Season 4, and now we’re fully charging towards the run-in. Results So… somehow, we’re top of the...

Quick one for anyone following along — if you’re enjoying the save, drop a thumbs up! Always good to know people are keeping up with it. And if there’s anything you think I could do to improve the posts, I’m all ears. Honestly having the most fun I’ve had on FM in years with this one, hope it’s...

Season 4 – A New Era Dawns at Dorking Wanderers Well we’re back for the start of Season 4, and this one feels different. This feels like the biggest summer we’ve had so far. If this was a YouTube series, this is the point where you’d roll the highlight reel. Promotions, big wins, last-minute...

Season 3 – The Rise Continues… Well we’re back and we have some BIG news. Just take a look at how the second half of the season played out… 15 wins, 2 losses and 3 draws. We turned into an absolute machine… and we are promoted! Yes, we did just about scrape into the final automatic...

Season 3 – Mid-Season Update We’re back for the next update! After a slightly mad few days of playing, I’ve managed to power through half a season and—most importantly—kept us right in the mix. The media predicted us to finish 7th, and after a strong start we’re pretty much exactly where they...

Season 3 – Time to Get Down to Business Let’s start this update on the highest of highs — a true Football Manager dream. An ex-player returning to the club in a coaching role! After a short holiday away from the game, James McShane is back on the staff. Macca returning was right at the top of...

Season 2 Ending – We Got There… Eventually Well… here we are. The end of season two. I need a second to breathe. I genuinely do not think I have ever had a season like this. We were outstanding. Not good. Not lucky. Outstanding. And I would not even say we bottled anything. Sometimes football...
