I'd have started with Counter mentality with YOung Boys but yes, that was a reality check.

Looking back at it, I can't really work out why I didn't. Thankfully, there's still 5 trophies to fight for!
 
It's Season 5 Episode 4 of my FM18 story, The Head Coach, and the career milestones keep on coming this season. Fresh from Monday's major achievements, today we introduce you to another two new competitions, which we'll hopefully be challenging for this season! I'm very excited to manage in one of these competitions... see if you can guess which one it is.

Did the Irn-Bru Cup with both Airdrie and Falkirk earlier in my long-running save and it is a lot of fun, even if the quarter finals with Falkirk was the closest I got to winning it.

There's something I just love about the concept. I've got a 2nd long term save planned for FM19 to run alongside The Head Coach, I hope the competition will feature in that one too!
 
There's a top of the table clash in my FM18 story today, as well as more live action from my new favourite competition! We made our debut in it during yesterday's episode, but today's big double header sees more crucial action in our quest to add more trophies to our cabinet, after our first addition on Monday!

Very smooth win in the McLean Cup final, this has to be your best side yet!

I think so, the fact it's young HG players always makes it better! Can't remember the last time I enjoyed a season this much in FM, not just winning but the attacking play and player development. The DoF has been brilliant too!
 
It's time for Season 5 Episode 7 of my FM18 story, The Head Coach. The big episodes keep coming this week as today we try to confirm ourselves as champions and treble winners! Check out Season 5 Episode 7 below:-

A massive thanks for watching as always, it's much appreciated!

 
If you can clean up this season then I'd move on already, you've got nothing to prove in Northern Ireland at this point!

Yeah I'll definitely try and get one last move, if I can't get one in the summer I'll try and get a job to save someone during the season!
 
It's Season 5 Episode 8 of my FM18 story, The Head Coach. Today we try to finish off the season in style by wrapping up the quadruple in another big cup final! Check it out below and join me again tomorrow for the start of the final season before FM19:-

A big thanks to everyone for giving the series a try. Tomorrow's episode will see the first episode recorded with a microphone rather than a headset, so hopefully the audio quality will be noticeably better.

It's time to start the final season of my FM18 Story, The Head Coach, to see us through to the release of the FM19 Beta and our two planned stories from the new game. We start our final season with a bang too, playing in our first Champions League tie of the series! We'll also review our Director of Football's summer work & debut our new microphone, which should provide more consistent high quality audio to the videos.

Very nice work there - can't completely write the tie off just yet.
