A much trickier season in the Blue Square Premier, with some members of the squad finding the step-up a little challenging. My front 2 of Koroma & Counago who had torn the BSB South to shreds both struggled for form and fitness throughout the season, and it was left to Centreback Mark Durnan to chip in with 15 goals (all from set pieces) to keep the promotion dream alive.

I reinforced the spine of the team, with Loris Karius, released by Man City, arriving to take over from James Gilpin between the sticks. Nico Yennaris, Samir Bihmoutine, Josh Rees, and Daniel Boateng all came in from the Arsenal Academy with varying degrees of success. Rees was a mainstay alongside Stephen Stirling in the middle of the park until he was prized away during the January window by Oldham Athletic. In response I managed to pick up Jacob Walcott (Theo's younger brother) to play off a lone frontman, and shuffled the formation a bit, dropping an extra man into midfield.

This led to a string of low scoring games, but we ground out a succession of crucial 1-0 wins in the style of a Big Sam Allardyce side, culminating in a decisive 2-0 defeat of Crewe Alexandra, our closest promotion challengers, to open up a 10 point lead going into the last few games of the season.

I've told the board I will be able to achieve a mid-table position in League 2, whilst searching for some free agents to bolster the squad. I'm especially concerned about the wide midfield positions where we have sorely lacked creativity, and a more experienced head to rotate with Yennaris in the Anchorman role.

Finally, Kevin Phillips has been appointed as Player/Assistant Manager. With Motivation & Determination of 17, plus Man Management of 14, I'm hoping he can make the difference in some of the tense team talks ahead!

Accepted the USA job and won the gold cup so a good season! My tactic of signing ex Real Madrid and Barcelona B players worked and I've pre-signed 3 more ahead od my first season in the Prem. Dionisio top scored but Perez who I got from Valencia scored 17 from centreback ( i've posted a screenshot) and the FA Cup win puts me in europe which should help attract better players

Fans Player of the Year: Griffiths

A very tight season. We spent most of the season in the top 3 with Leigh Griffiths blasting us to glory. But our second to last game of the season we lost 1-0 to relegated Amiens which dropped us down to 4th. We won our final game 5-0 at home against the bottom of the table side and results went our way. Ligue 1 football next year and if we stand any chance of survival, then we have to get rid of some dead wood, followed by some new additions to our squad.

On a side note, St Etienne and Monaco just avoided relegation to the French National
 
Hi guys just started season with Berwick rangers i'm not even Scottish but I think it is hard to get into europe even in the SPL because of Rangers and Celtic so looking to overthrow them:).I will post pics when finished.;)

It was a good Season for Borham Wood, the Board were a bit unhappy with the early exit from the FA Trophy just unlucky 3-0 up with 60 minutes gone and eventually loosing 4-3, now looking to get another striker 2 midfielders and maybe a full back initial budget isn't great doh no spending money and only 5.25k on wages.

Playing the EuroCup brought a lot of income, a lot, but at the same time it was so dificult to do good everywhere as we had just too many games to play, a couple of times we played 3 games in 6 days, and then just to rest 2 days to have anotherone, my players were exausted and got a few bad injures from the key players but they the overall team did really good and thanks to the loans really, finished first and did pretty good everywhere. Now, to challenge the Premiership!!!

The season i did more signings in the whole challenge, and it worked bad to be honest, the first half of the year it was ****!! losing 7 games in a row at some point!!

Then in December i paid for a good striker as Dabo wasn't scoring a single freaking goal and it paid off, Bressignton nailed the second half of the season and will be captain for me in the next.

I decided stop selling players from money as now the TV gives me about 50M per season and is way more than what i can do selling players.

For next season, will try to keep most of the same team just reinforcing some point and now that i have good training and youth facilities will start getting good kids to be trained there and hopefully be in my team in 4-5 years.

I am really disappointed not getting back to back league wins had been leading from the first week until late February and it all just seemed to fall apart, considering i was one of the favourites to be relagated the board were estatic with the league finish but still should be playing League 2 football.

I have released a few players that under performed last season so looking to strenghten a few area's mainly AML and AMR, i am also in the market for a back up keeper hoping to get a decent young keeper to learn from my current keeper.

With the warhorse Paul Walker ( retired from his Fast & Furious days :D) has now called time on his playing days but he has been taken on as a coach i will be looking for someone to take over all set pieces and chip in with as many assists as Paul did, some good news is we have snapped up a young right full by the name of Bradley Brodkin screen shot below so things are looking bright for Boreham Woods Future!!

Solid performance, keeping same squad for next season as i ruled the second half of the league, hoping to end top 5 this year.
Jamie won the golden boot with 43 goals in 43 apps, and 28 assists for Antonio were just pure class.
Fa Cup was extremely easy as i didn't have to play a single game against any EPL team, all CH....
I also won EPL Manager of the year!

Funny thing, Taher Dabo, in loan to CH, also was top scorer with 32 goals.
