Fish gets MOTM
Burheim resumes full training

Lincoln City 3 – 8 FM Base (7/2/15) (FAT)

Huh. Simply put, not a good day to be a defender. Lincoln went down to 10 men at 3-2 down, we made them pay big time.

FA Trophy Semi Finals Draw – Eastleigh vs FM Base
Firebird resumes full training
-------------
Gainsborough 2 – 3 FM Base (10/2/15) (VCN)

Scorers: Hogg (32, 49), Williams (81)

Ratings: Redgrave 6.7, Banana 6.8, Manbearpig 6.8, Thompson 6.8, Firebird 6.3, Peters 6.5 (Yakin II 6.8), Palmer 6.9, Litmanen 6.3, Dance 6.8, Hogg 8.8, Goyzueta 6.8 (Williams 7)

We get revenge on Gainsborough, but they push us mightily close to dropping points. Those points confirm playoffs, with the title just a formality.

FM Base 6 – 0 Stalybridge (14/2/15) (VCN)

Scorers: Williams (13, 58, 76), Harrison (42), Baker (46, 53)

We dole out another thumping as we head towards the title. More goals for Baker and Williams, the in-form players so far this month.
------------
Williams twists knee – out for 2 weeks.
-------------
Eastleigh 5 – 3 FM Base (21/2/15) (FAT)

Scorers:
OG (31), Post (65, 86)

Absolutely pathetic. Everyone who started should be ashamed. Chances are, we have too much to do in the second leg.

Guiseley 2 – 3 FM Base (24/2/15) (VCN)

Scorers: Hogg (18), Schwarzenegger (27), Goyzueta (43)

Ratings: Redgrave 6.7, Banana 6.8, Schwarzenegger 7.4, Harrison 6.5, Firebird 6.8, Patrik 7.7 (Manbearpig 6.7), Palmer 6.8, Litmanen 6.9, Peters 6.7 (Roberts 6.4), Hogg 7.8, Goyzueta 7.4

Another shoddy defensive display, but we get the three points and the title. Big game up next against Eastleigh though.
-------------
FM Base 4 – 0 Eastleigh (28/2/15) (FAT) (7-5 AGG)

Scorers: Manbearpig (10), Dance (13), Baker (55), Roberts (57)

Ratings: Redgrave 7, Thunderfoot 8, Manbearpig 8.8, Thompson 7.7, Firebird 7.8, Patrik 7.5, Dance 8.8, Mason 7.3 (Post 6.7), Baker 8.7, Roberts 8, Goyzueta 8.6

Sweet, sweet revenge. We’ll be seeing Halifax in the final, as we push for our first potential non-league double.

Mostly solid performances from Harrison. One dodgy display though :D
 
just 1 game to return from injury, not good.

I've been using Thame in the U21s in a bid to bring him back up to speed, and with some indifferent form for Redgrave, the keepers spot at Wembley at the end of March is very much up for grabs. Thame will get a run to prove his form before that.

EDIT: So Thame is guaranteed the keeper spot this month.... Redgrave injured for 4-5 weeks.

I guess Burheim was injured the whole period. With our defence leaking like that, I suppose you wished you had more options in defence during that time.

March Update

Lot to get through here, plenty of fixtures, and our youth intake, which you’ll see before this post. Halifax in the big match at the end of the month, time for people to prove themselves.

FM Base 1 – 1 FC Halifax (Halifax win 4-3 on Pens) (28/3/15) (FAT) (Wembley)

Scorers: Palmer (59)

To lose on penalties is pretty depressing. A cagey affair saw us take the lead, but we couldn’t assert ourselves, and in reality, Halifax probably wanted it more than we did. We go again next year.

Is Arnie mad about something or what does PR mean?
 
Reacted badly to me not giving Peters a new contract I think. On the plus side, he's now happy with the one he has.

Looks like you have a few players not getting much playing time, and being unhappy about it. Will you consider loans next season for the players you don't favor? Must take a toll on the development of the players that have only taken part in 15th games this far.
