P.S **** HAS FROZEN OVER, CRAWFORD MISSED A PENALTY

New Season, New Goals "Alright lads this season I know we can kick on and get another top half finish at the very least I've kept those of you I can trust and know you can do it. Any questions?" Yeah, Boss, Where is everyone" Crawford. Good riddance. Now, let's build a team capable of getting...

Playoff vs Welling Here we go, my first season and I'm already facing the horror and excitement of the playoffs. The suit is back out. Before the game Im already left with a conundrum, do I start Malembe and move to a 442? He's been on fire coming off the bench recently and a tactical change...

Playoffs? Before looking at our last set of matches, let have a look at our first intake of regens, anybody good? Yes! A good batch of players, a couple of whom immediately are moved to the first team to make bench appearances. A goalkeeper with great potential and a great name. Mr. Tipper...

Mixed Bag If you told me we'd still be in the playoffs with the final quarter of the season left I would have thought you were crazy but here we are. So all's good? NO, not at all. In all honesty we've been playing terribly, I can really see why we were tipped for relegation, if our main...

Miracle in Maidenhead The Maidenhead Miracle What. A. Game. FA Trophy, against conference opposition. It's 1-1 after thirty minutes, Crawford equalizing for us with a cool finish when this happens. Easy ball for our keeper Henry there. Henry? HENRY? Fantastic. Maidenhead 2-1 H&R Well, we...

Halfway Point Here we are, halfway, and we're still in the playoffs! just about, and form is dipping, but to think we're almost at the 45 point safety zone with only half the season played is fantastic. There is a worry that our key players form is dipping, with Crawford only scoring from the...

First Big Match First setback pre-match, our key Ball Winning Midfielder will not be playing. O' Keefe will take his place. I meet the camera crew at Beveree Stadium a couple of days before the match, the focus was not on the match as I expected. I'm honest about my experiences, yes I faced...

What is going on!? We won seven in a row...SEVEN IN A ROW Granted, a lot of them were FA Cup matches, but still. What a start! Safety is almost guaranteed given the normal 45 points required and were in the first round of the FA Cup. Losing two in a row with the last two games is maybe a...

10 Games in Maybe this management business isnt that hard after all! 10 games in, the predicted relegation candidates are in a playoff fight. Do I expect this to continue? maybe. Is it down to me? probably not. I still let Hoskin do the team talks, they definitely listen to him more than me...

First Game The first game, away at East Thurrock. Not quite the dazzling start I had in mind but still, this is it, my first game as a football manager. Attendance: 394 (80 away) An announcement is made over the tannoy expressing the clubs wishes to support my decision followed by a round of...

Pre-Season I'm still not prepared, so I immediately hit the books to start with. Next, affiliate myself with a big club, maybe they can help me through this first season with some talent. Signings: Darnelle Bailey-King: Not my best, signed him before I had any scouts. But he's pacy, an ok...

“Your giving me the job!? What!? Why!?” “We loved your vision for the club” The chairman replied, flashing a confident, corporate smile I said I wanted to win the champions league with The Beavers, I was joking. This whole application was a joke. Exasperated, I stammer “I-I can’t do this I’m...
