I decided to be a team from step 6 of the English pyramid and try and work my way up as far as possible. I wrote out numbers 1-22 on a piece of paper and cut them out and also wrote out letters 'N' and 'S'. I closed my eyes and picked out 'N' and 11. This meant I would be in the Blue Square Northern league and would be the 11th team alphabetically. This team was Gainsborough Trinity.

Season Review
So an exciting season ultimately lead to dissapointment. We finished just one point outside the playoffs although our poor goal difference meant that in reality we were two points off making the playoffs. I feel as though there were more highs than lows. I only made two permanant signings and they were both key players for me. Josh Brizell did a sterling job as a wing back despite me playing him out of position and my other signing Will Morford although not a prolific goalscorer chipped in with 11 goals and played very well in 'the hole'.
Highs
Beating Chester City on penalties in the thrid qualifying round of the FA Cup was a great feeling especially as all five our penalties were scored.
Dominic Roma's last gasp winning goal against champions to be Bradford PA who were unbeaten in 12 games.
Lows
Narrowly missing out on the playoffs and even not far off winning the league.
Getting thrashed by Solihull Moors twice. 5-1 and 0-4 respectively.
