Travelling to Middlesbrough the hopes of the board and fans were high. Conceding inside two minutes it looked set to be the case. Seeing out the first half, we were a goal down and seemingly on top and controlling the game, making that clear to the team we went out for the second half to do...

We come again to the Carabao and we welcome a familiar face in West Brom. The game was a close one, West Brom had a series of chances in a minute, Cartwright with a great save, followed by a hero block by Harwood-Bellis then again Cartwright getting his fingers to a shot to make it hit the bar...

Preparation for next season gets underway. This starts with Cole committing to the club after there was no interest in his services from anywhere else. A 4 year extension has been agreed. Numerous other contracts have been signed as well extending some key players stays at the club. The first...

We start with Cambridge. Goalless last time out, hopefully the home crowd can make all the difference. Starting out Cambridge were quicker to get started, having 2 chances in the first 20 minutes, poorly executed but still chances. After 20 minutes we found are groove, Williams would get the...

Our semi final opposition has been confirmed as Exeter. Starting the month with a poor showing against Bolton. We went 3 – 0 down after 55 minutes. An attacking change resulted in a single goal back but it wasn’t enough to salvage anything from the match. Only good news from the match day was...

The next task for us in the league was that of red hot Reading, coming from a -4 points start they find themselves in the play-off positions with 35 points. So a draw would be nice. The game come and it was Reading to strike first blood, a mistake from Collins as he came out for a ball but...

We are set to complete October without losing a game in the league after another 2 wins against Layton Orient and Shrewsbury. The last game comes against Fleetwood. We would start quietly, Fleetwood did grab the opening goal but just before the half a penalty would bring us back to level. Then...

With the transfer window closing we see 3 deals be done. Matty Wolfe and Jamie Searle both leave the club, permanent and loan respectively. To address the goalkeeper depth issue we face, we have signed Harvey Cartwright from Hull, at 21 he is almost ready to start for the club and will be an...

The current squad is good, but still some areas were work needs to be done. We are loaded for midfield players 7 in total, however I have other plans for Callum Styles. Wing backs might be a good choice to use and we need to work on the striker position. A few plans have been made for the...

I’m here in FM24, after my last save across the British Isle’s in FM22. Link to that here: https://fm-base.co.uk/threads/british-isles-champion.178538/ In order to get used to the step from FM22 to FM24, I’m doing a quick beta save before starting my main save. For this I’m managing my home...

Just a quick update, I'm putting the save on pause, I've been enjoying other games more recently and I don't know when or if I will get back into this save. If this is the end I have enjoyed it, however short it was. I plan on coming back with a new save for FM 24 as I have a few ideas that I...

We are coming down to the last 8 games of the season. But before that we have almost finished the games in March. 2 draws and a win in the league just before our game against Preston as well as a 7 – 4 result on aggregate in the second knockout round against Rangers does see us go onwards to the...

Heading into the start of the season, the aims for signings was the usual, get rid of the players not good enough and improve where we can. The initial highlight signing was that of Niklas Sule on a free transfer. A very experienced player adding some needed quality to the defence. As for the...

The Cardiff game was as expected in this situation, either a close call or we could get wiped out. 2 down at half time it looked set to be the latter. The team got themselves in gear however, with two bursts resulting in 4 goals, we managed to win the match. Also gave me the achievement...

The team absolutely loves the 3 – 2 score line. 4 times in the last 5 games. Winning 2 of them and loosing 2. We were in a position to win against both Fulham and Liverpool but didn’t see the result out. Last signing of this season is possibly the best I’ve made. Alexandr Novitskiy, 21, comes...
