Hello my name is Steven Hedge I am 27 years old and have a young family, I am a massive football manger fan and love spending my spare time playing as much as I can. I have been a member of this site for a little while and have really enjoyed reading other peoples stories and have wanted to try and do my own. Any help shall be greatly appreciated. So here we go I shall be starting off with Hemel Hempstead as I enjoy bringing a team from the lower leagues all the way to the BIG TIME!


So here the starts the rise of Hemel Hempstead.

There nickname is The Tudors

Our home ground is called Vauxhall Road, stadium capacity is 3,152 (Seats 534)

Next post will be meeting the team and the manger.

Please follow me on twitter @StevenHedge1 as ill be posting little bits about the save.
 
Meeting the team and manger

Here we have the manager of the team with his qualification at nothing but the higher we move up then we shall collect our badges along the way

AEA89134C72FE01B7DEB3315390E7490631E9F6C



Next is a list of the team

4F2FB61AD05170831FA968C305AD2982DA6F18C4


As can see we defiantly need a few new players but we can some key players who we need to build around for at least this season

3 Key Players are:

Darren Ward 39Y/O who at least is going to be key for this season at the back

B92656476D4FA4B89CA42E1C712FA70977A5E230


Next up is Rob Sinclair who we will be looking to help us win the midfield battle and at 28 I hope we can keep him for a few seasons
B9A94B7F31D99298330E5B426143232D9DCF1521


But the last one is our best player and someone who I defiantly will be looking to get on the ball and keep it for us and that is
Jordan Parkes another CM and 28 but looks very good and Is rated as our best player

4E04C730663033762CB7CE08BA6C03194EAB9BAD



Next update maybe up later tonight with any transfers we make and how the friendlies go.
Follow me on twitter @StevenHedge1 for little updates regarding the save.
 
Good luck with this save, will be following closely! When I've been Hemel, I have tended to use Ward on the bench with Yakubu alongside a younger and faster centre back.
 
Pre-Season and Signing

so we played a bunch of friendlies and here is how we fared

DE866FBEC9FCE9AB0DB51B3765B78E55BC76CD1A


As you see we had some tricky fixtures but got some good results especially against Southend, that being as we made some transfers so let me run through them now for you.

first signing was a striker Michael Cregan, a young striker who im hoping can help us and move us up the leagues with his goals.

F469D709392F051EDA57B41BB35AEA507E964170


Next signing was Cameron Healy, a loan player from Mansfield and more than anything he is to add depth to our midfield as we all know how long the season is you need depth especially in the middle of the park and being a loan and not paying his wages was a no-brainer. Lucky we did as Sinclair for first couple of games.

9CC4CEC85E556BF948D63F926CE5834AF71B3760


Our next signing was the young full back Jack James who is a right back and is another player who is on loan this time from Luton, I believe we needed to strengthen in the right back area and for a season he isn't to bad and sure he will do a solid job for us.

14DBC094616A5AB8A99B49AE6C0B0E8E2B068970


Our next player is Terrique Anderson a right winger on loan from Charlton, we were desperate for a right winger and I believe we have a gem here, just hope he stays injury free.
084934DEFF028C1C1E33594944A6541BD1C8F269


Next player is Alex Crean, a young keeper. I was on the look out for a back up keeper but during the pre season it became we needed a new No.1 and this is who my scouts found and rate him highly and so far he has proven them right.

E944126407370862E41DADCE9CB30E53DA9657FC


And finally our last transfer was another loan player from Charlton his name is Reeco Hackett-Fairchild as believe we needed depth up top and he can do the job when called upon.

04FC7D2C915B70D471711EB09CE4398A8320A00C


Theres pre season and transfers over now next update will be the start of the season and my tactic for the season.
 
Good luck with this save, will be following closely! When I've been Hemel, I have tended to use Ward on the bench with Yakubu alongside a younger and faster centre back.

Cheers mate and yeah I toyed with that during pre season but I think it was cause I was playing a higher line but since I went back to normal he seems to doing ok mate. Appreciate the comment mate though and hope you enjoy.
 
Start Of Season August 2018

Here we go this is how we started and I for one am very pleased and didn't expect it to go how did it.

Start the season VS Chippenham, fully deserved and won by a wonder free-kick from our main man. Great way to start.

72334F9AAC67DFFD2639508A5458CB34A4891C97


VS Hampton & Richmond and my young striker Cregan showed us what is his about and how important his goals will be, and once again Captain Fantastic stepped up with another beauty of a free kick. So far so good.

7AB45B472101FA5E08FF077AA05515F82E43B240


VS Dartford and once again Cregan and ANOTHER free kick from Parkes secure us the win.


082BA2BD535D0EC755D778C0A36D86B642709AF1


VS Hungerford and our wingers take the headlines from this game, only downside concede our first goal of the season but still walked away with the 3 points

B806DA604C6FBE5BC6CFAD6E3C3ACA3956F044FA


VS Woking another routine 2-0 win and the best thing about it Leon Lobjoit the other striker got his 1st goal of the season, hopefully he will start banging them in now and back to another clean sheet. Happy Days.


1E02FFE7DB53637431C16D25A65B9831CCFE3D15


VS Welling, our only bad result of the month and probably deserved it but it was 2 counter attack goals we lose to, but Leon Lobjoit scores for 2nd game on the bounce just need him and Cregan to score together.

D1A63B8CDBC6B7EB0425D1589F9D3A49B40CFF16


VS Chelmsford, well we made this hard work and we played so poor but Cregan once again steps up for us a proper poacher and then once again our Captain scores a beauty of a free kick again with the last kick of the game.

1A520B56C37119D26F0BCE979D853C0085B9101F


So the table so far is and I am very happy with the start and hope it carries on.

51E3E45A87BA7752D6F7D3A8882F7530849C0A84


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Only one winner and that is our main man and Captain Fantastic Jordan Parkes, he is the the main reason we had such a good start.

Next update will be up tomorrow but follow me Twitter @StevenHedge1 for little updates about the save.
 
September 2018

After a good start to the season we had some difficult games this month and the start of out F.A Cup Journey.

VS Torquay, one of the better teams in the league and we didn't deserve nothing from the game
C20981DFEE6E74E4E90124A19F8C1BDD1D4B2977


VS Billericay, one of if not the best team in the league, but gave a good account of ourselves and we gave them a help In hand when Musonda scored and own goal but thought when Cregan scored we could perhaps get a draw but it wasn't meant to be when Clifford scored a goal from the each of the box.
F5EB5C70CCF0BAFFCF637A63DA5CE53D2BA3D7CD


VS Weston Super-Mare, after couple of bad results I made a couple of tweks to the tactics so we could get Parkes on the ball more often to make things happen, and then we go a put into a good team performance where for the first time this season but our strikers scored.

3DA6AEE8A17BF2BCCD2799D30B8EB66ACBAF2E78


VS Glebe (F.A Cup Qualifying 2nd Round), made a couple of changes so some of the promising youngest could get some game time, it started so well and then we are 2-0 just after HT with goals from Lobjoit and Wilshere (Young LM) then we decided to give them a pen then it was just seeing if we could on then last kick of the game they ****** the draw, so onto the replay we go.
7CC41912279067E65013A32193A9070575C15F8D


VS Glebe (F.A Cup Qualifying 2nd Round Replay) No messing around strongest 11 and a routine 3-0 win thanks to Anderson and 2 from Parkes, onto the next round VS Gosport.
362F1331BB755EF3F86BBA793674CBA9A2B40CF7


VS Oxford City, ended the month with a nervy 1-0 win thanks to Lobjoit and we hung on to it throughout the game.
0BA634E174E4BCFF0C71B0981095D2C100CB730C


League Table: Still in play-offs amd only couple of points off top and played some of the stronger teams this month and still in play-offs so that should bode well for us for the rest of the season.
8E6C0D3EC156610B685668ED482BD364C979C958


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Alex Crean, our young GK who had some big games for and especially in the Oxford City he pulled off some important saves for us.

Follow me at @StevenHedge1 on Twitter for little updates about the save.
 
October 2018

So this month we continued our F.A up journey and we also made one new signing.

VS Gosport F.A Cup 3rd qualifying round, one of the most sided games ive ever been involved in, and we got through thanks to goals from Cregan and Watt, onto the next round we go.
37DD2EBAB2958EB2A6BADED0C15B3BA386FD2849


So after the Gosport game I thought I would go and get myself a striker for keeping the fitness levels and to take there chances. So this is who we got Harry Crawford.
0975C0AC70FF334A69E99AF8092BA239CAEA2D82


VS Truro , so got myself a new striker but we win this comfortable with goals from Anderson, Cregan and Parkes.
6D0681E5A0649040DBF0F2E4FF42CA100137E016


VS Maidstone F.A Cup 4th qualifying round, we were so poor nothing else to say/


F739F0134FDA6FAEB4B5FCA72AAE9134E823BA9C


VS Wealdstone, we battled to earn this and my new man Crawford got the goal to seal the 3 points for us.
C1BE42815B2E4EE8D393ECAB8EA018F903168504


VS Eastbourne Borough, they are strong side and after Watts scored, Crean pulled off some reallu important saves but it is a valuable point,.
067163E658D77D575D0C49C952A2120029350BE2


VS Slough, we were once again so poor and lucky to walk away with a point but thanks to our main man stepping up and pinging a free kick top bins to get us a point from the game we didn't deserve but it maybe the difference in next few months.
0EF0A97E220592E934F66484006CE26250A7B20F


LEAGUE TABLE: This is where the season starts taking shape and If we want to fight in the play off this is the month that is important as we got points when we shouldn't have.
787DB48F9BCE23EC60751FC09DBC3742AC4F9006


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Once again only one person and that is the man the myth the legend Jordan Parkes he has dragged us through and everthing good we do comes from him. DEFIANTLY found a story fave.

Follow me @StevenHedge1 for little updates about the save.
Hope your enjoying the save, let me know your views.
 
November 2018

This was a short month with only 3 games but there was also a change of formation and tactics and as we go through you shall see why.

VS Bath, not a lot can be said part from outplayed and we were ***** but one player who once again tried to get us back in the gam Jordan Parkes but it wasn't enough.
AAD9E068B54FB6F38B82DA17D6DEF4859B48062A


VS Gloucester, I was expecting a response from the boys and given the Gloucester was sitting 23rd defiantly expected a win HOW WRONG WAS I!!!! Once again 2nd best and got we deserved NOTHING. But I do think I have found Parkes future CM partner in Joe Hanks he was amazing against us and kept them ticking over, hopefully soon.
FD8CC2929F2DA167C29DCAEB8A1160EC77B40E72



So after that game decided to change formation to 3 across the middle instead of 2 and just one up top as I want to release Parkes from the middle so he can start making a difference in the opposition area, lets see how it goes.

VS East Thurrock, we absolutely battered them and god knows how they walked away with a draw, but we did look a lot better going forward and playing through Parkes, who was involved in our goal.
F0979F7890EE04694E92CF4AFDDE0EC7A3BFFFDF


LEAGUE TABLE: As you see we are still in the play-Offs but we have a dropped a few points off top, lets hope we can get back to winning ways next month and for my strikers to start ****** scoring.
D723A38C88409EB8FE738D99E5DC8F8CC67D1F88


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Sanchez Watts one of our players and goes under the shadow of our captain (who was very close to getting this again) but have put into some very good performances and grabbed a goal aswell, lets hope he carry this on now.

Follow me @StevenHedge1 on twitter for little updates about the save.
 
December 2018

This was a very long month which we could get ourselves back on track with some games VS teams around us in the league and we also had the FA trophy games this month and a local derby VS St. Albans and also another new signing, so lets get on with how we did this month.

VS Coggeshall, FA Trophy 3rd qualifying round, an easy 3-0 asked for my strikers to start scoring and then Cregan steps up and scores 2 and Watt carried on how he finised last month, into the next round we go.
89F900A480B95123BF1515E30CA0CAFEC020BF92


VS Concord, how on earth we only won 1-0 I will never know but we grinded out the result and that is what you need to do to keep pace with the top of the league and thanks to Crawford coming off the bench to score we managed that and also another goal for one of my strikers.
3CCC5FA473DC91D6C7DF672FB90B990C195529E1


VS Dulwich Hamlet, I was expecting a tough against these but we walked away with the 3 points and to be honest it was rather easy for us Cregan was back on the Score sheet as was Anderson with them scoring and OG aswell for us.
42BBAABA0CC0E6F2B81CF7F235A725E0F1CDAF21


After this game I felt we needed another CM with playing 3 across the middle we needed depth in that area so we got Lezion Cela a young CM who is a good option to have as a back up option.
3FCF8A0EA3D094B8D308AB29085D7482C89E7E32


VS Gainsborough, FA Trophy 1st round, we made hard work of this and was probably 2n best but thanks once again to our skipper who put the Pen away into the next round we go.

VS Welling, a very good performance where we ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Cregan and Sinclair scoring a 20 yarder and his first of the season.
27AF0FB1FBF26DE53215FCC3BB82E4DB9C14BB74


Seems im not the only one whos been impressed by Jordan Parkes this season what a player he is for me.
78A5C4BBA33E4AABD6DACED8B68523017C90E5FA


VS St. Albans, local derby time and we ran out easy 3-0 winners which to be honest surprised me as they were up in the play offs with us but with goals from Anderson and 2 from Parkes it made it a lot easier for us and sent us home with the bragging rights this time.
3D3FE3D7AA7C498F57C4BE90A9DD8AF9CB7A0325


VS Chelmsford, very back and forth game and had that feeling that one goal would be enough and comth the hour comth the man Mr. Parkes to score the vital 3 points and meant we went the whole month unbeaten and also a massive shout out to our back line as only conceded 1 goal the whole month.
E745AA9A17F7A55BBDB48931DB543635B7275646


LEAGUE TABLE: After an excellent month we have only put ourselves within 2 points off top and we playing really well and look solid and hope we can carry this form into the 2nd part of the season.
21A7B1E3CDECC0EFCFC1490248146CD32B62FC17


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Could have been a number but its got to be our veteran CB Ward who has been amazing all month and it shows with how solid we have been at the back.

Follow me @StevenHedge1 on Twitter for updates regarding the save and also one of the best things happened Jordan Parkes liked my most recent post regarding the save, so head over and keep updated with the save given that we are getting to the best time of the season now.
 
January 2019

This was another long month for us, but hopefully at the end of it we could gain some points up on top place, in this month we had another derby and another FA Trophy game.

VS St. Albans, a game where we deserved to win by more than what the score line saids, but to be honest I will take the 3 points how ever we can, even if they have to score it for us.
A6C72C2483FBBD0034F5E963A7AEA92C086176D2


VS Woking, we were lucky to get a draw in this game, when Anderson scored for us I did think we may hold out but It wasn't meant to be, but I cant complain to much to much as we were 2nd best throughout and a it may turn out to be a big point come end of the season? Just a mention for Alex Crean our young Keeper had the game of his life and easily earned us this point single handley.
B984B3251A8AFCE9893459C23519E31AB7468685


VS Torquay, we were ***** and got what we deserved BATTERD, I mean when Parkes drawed us level fought then we would push on but no we were so poor everywhere like the last performance, is this the start of a bad run now for us where we drop away from the top??
1683277028A2A4E137288E7449A04F35155873CF


VS Hampton & Richmond, PHEW this was a big result for us after the last 2 games and how we played but thanks to there own goal and goals from Cregan and Crawley we got back to winning, hopefully the last 2 games were just a little blip.
4D6F6FBB9618DFC25C137F4BC518D4FC57566945


VS Maidstone, FA Trophy 2nd Round, a very good performance a little bit of revenge given they knocked out us the FA Cup, always nice to beat team from the division above and thanks to Watts we walked away with a 1-0 win and into the next round.
89B52A0244D0E783253AB554E16C5CBBA5166287

VS Hungerford, poor finishing cost us today, once again don't know how we didn't get the win, but we take point and carry on and all these points may make a massive difference towards end of the season.
1133DCC5503A7CB737AB5C7DDD36C272E4AB53C2


LEAGUE TABLE: We are well and truly in the play off positions and only 4 points off top, so it should make a good end of the season.
4B6041A37E461E5A615D99B32ECCF9FE4CC2061E


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Alex Crean, he is been outstanding all season but this month he had his best game and has been at his busiest and has stood up and made really showed how good he is, I know he let in 4 in one game but he has been way to good not to mention how important he is for us.

Follow me @StevenHedge1 on Twitter for updates regarding the save, especially now as were getting towards end of the season and who knows whats going to happen??
 
Feburary 2019

This is where the season starts getting interesting and defiantly starts putting you in the place for end of the season, so lets see how we got on.


VS Dartford, A good solid win to start the month and another goal from Parkes and Cregan who are joint top goal scorers, just shows how important they have been for me this season. Great way to start the month.
4038C41854515E260D01B616E30F926467981C1F


VS Chippenham, a very back and forth game where we were always 2nd best and I fought when we drew level twice thanks to Watts and Parkes, I thought we would hold on for a draw, but always had that feeling that they would get one more chance and nick the 3 points which they did, so bit gutting but onto the next game we go.
5745445497F1956F70D506196C03888CB1E7CF92


VS Braintree, FA Trophy 3rd Round, we were 2nd best to a team from the league above and its more my fault we lost by the score we did as I went attacking in the game and that backfired massively, but to get to the 3rd round I am very happy with that, just disappointed to go out how we did.
799260B3B70882C053A5449A15BDB92420CB39E0


VS Dulwich Hamlet, they are currently sitting of the table and given the last couple of performances I was hoping to hold on for a draw and stay the same amount of points behind them and but it wasn't to be and to only lose 1-0 was a bonus as they battered us from start to finish, hope this is the start of where we start losing points now and have to hang on to even get in the play offs.
81E92789A86986C92CB0EF56E0E46CAFB2793A9A


VS Concord, So annoyed with this result, they were sitting towards the bottom of the table and after Watt had scored was expecting a few more goals but wasn't to be but fought we would least hold on for the win by they drew level with the LAST ****** KICK OFF THE GAME!!
CBE9C480011F8E85841BA9359CF27B2DE2C0F40F



LEAGUE TABLE: After our worst month we are 9 points off top and 9 points safe in the play offs, so still a lot to play for and I pray that March is a better month and we can get a few more points so we can sit comfortably in the play offs and never know maybe make a late charge for the title? Never know football is a funny game.
BABCD6541BE15B5494F97C4DB1BA163865078DA5


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: To be honest its difficult to give it to someone and no one stood out so im not going to be, but be free to say someone out of what you see if you would like to.

Follow me @StevenHedge1 on Twitter for updates regarding the save.
 
You're making this look far too easy for this club. I started a journeyman save with Hemel, but I couldn't handle the ageing squad with players that complained every time they didn't start a game (despite not being fit). You've lasted at least twice as long as I did already, good work! XD

Cheers mate but it’s far from easy lol people moaning about playing time is a big thing but just rotate them And then they stay happy but thanks for reading hope you enjoy it mate.
 
March 2019

So with the poor run we had in February I was hoping that Marc would be a better month for and we could ourselves in a good position in the play offs.

But start of month and we had regen day, nothing special this season but we did have a couple of players who I have given contracts and hope may turn into a good player for us.
First off is Alec Solkhon, a young GK who I reckon may become our back up to Crean sooner rather than later, little bit raw but with some game time may become good.
91B653E73AEF7A24C0675409D6917A31F41E255C

2nd was a young CM called Paul Jones, and to be honest I am a little big excited about him as he has some really good attributes and if I can get Parkes to train him and everything, never know he maybe could be our next Parkes????
B5E20409E1777F878A96DBDFCEEAB7757BFBC103


VS Slough, We were so poor and should have lost by so much more and it never helps with you score a goal from them, but they were sitting 3rd in the league and showed us.
F14D8F3D511589AF090FBED2AD641B1C80D23139


VS Bath, such a frustrating game they have 1 shot on target and of course they score from it, but lucky we have Parkes who comes up with another goal for us and then Bath were holding on for the draw, 2 points dropped here.
7801770F12B1E8FF42CCA5BE28BBC9AAB3E8C3DB


VS Gloucester, a very 50/50 match but I fought after Cregan had given us the lead was hoping we would hold onto the 3 points but it was to be when they drew level late in the game, but I cant complain as it was probably a fair result.
FBD5D2ABCD80425C232902F391BDFF479D3E9B89


VS East Thurrock, our first 0-0 of the season and not a lot to say part from a boring game.
C6D08716B395C003E7254C38C4B64679D817D098


VS Eastbourne Boro, very much a match of 2 halves, first half we were amazing and rightly deserved to be winning 1-0 thanks to Ward, but the 2nd half they came out and battered us and fully deserved there goal, but they are top of the league so I am happy to take the point.

LEAGUE TABLE: Well after a shocking month where we didn't win a single game, we are surprisingly still comfortably in the play offs, but I would like to move up the game still before end of the season so we don't have to play as many play off games (that's if we are still in the play offs) but we need to improve our form haven't won in 9 but I would much look at it as we are unbeaten in 4 thanks to the draws :) lol.
FA04CE59E5AA40F20E82803E0D2A3A1859E7B778


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Rob Sinclair in the middle of the park has been our most consist player and sometimes goes under the radar.

April 2019

Here we go last month of our season, its a big month I don't think we are going to reach top spot but lets see if we can stay in the play offs and try and finish as high as we can so we give ourselves in them if we make the play off, of course.

First bit of news of the month was that ive been offered a new contract for the next year, which is goo otherwise this would have been a very quick story.
F7486D543309BBEE7F8FCB040E2058D13D31D9D6


VS Oxford City, I was looking for a good start to the month after the last few games and that is what we got by Cregan scoring early and them losing a player then after that it was a routine win with another goal from Cregan, Anderson and them scoring an own goal.


F5C74C2B64E2E7A738D452965D2E81B1301AA23B


VS Truro, this was Anderson game he single handley got us this 3 points with 2 goals in the 2nd half and his 2nd being the last kick of the game, it was a hard game but a valuable 3 points in this big part of the season.
A2450A4987D6BB66D3A27B8D4D43DF8DBFA19F8F


VS Billericay, this was a massive game for us as they are also in the play off positions and a win here would guarantee us a play off place, we played so well probably one of the best performances of the season and it defiantly helped when they went down to 10 men, and thanks to goals from Watt, Sinclair and 2 pens from Parkes made us win this, but must admit when they made it 4-3 towards end of the game I was worried ,they would nick a draw, but it wasn't to be. Also our young CM Paul Jones made his debut in this hopefully first of many.

VS Weston Super-Mare, lucky enough we had the play offs cause we were so poor in this game and I hope our performances are better in the play offs. Only highlight of the game was that we took the lead and Cregan scored for us then after that we went downhill.
11961246E0EEB5D667BE4F02FAC0F7DA393B9175


VS Wealdstone, last game of the season and was hoping to end on a high so we can go into the play offs on a back of a win, but we were so poor just like in the last game and once again we took the lead from Ward then we were shocking after that, I just hope we perform better in the play offs otherwise it will be a short lived adventure.
5B13EACA5C66B14CA2A27E593E79A8338DFB09B2


LEAGUE TABLE: By the look of it we just made the play offs but we have been in the conversation all season but we have got to do things the hard way.
I realised that I had put up the league table from the month before and for some reason its not letting me screenshot it.


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Anderson the young RW who has played really well during this month and had that one game where we won us it on his own.

The next update shall be the play offs, but follow me @StevenHedge1 on twitter for updates about the play off and the story.

Play Offs

Here we go the play offs, if im honest I didn't expect to get into the play offs this season, but I am proud of the team, lets see how we did.

VS Welling, Vanarama South Play Off 1st Round, Before the game Anderson got injured and I defiantly think we missed him as he was one of our better players, but it wasn't meant to be and im gutted with result.
DD14668AB2D72D8761E7FE2F7F9337F0E627F6C7


Well as you can see we did ***** in the play offs but during the summer I shall strengthen the squad and hopefully we can make another push next season, I hope we can aim for the title so we don't have to go through the play offs, sorry it didn't go well guys but next season will be ours just hope I can keep my key players.
Next updated will be after my Pre Season friendlies and the transfers I make.
Follow me @StevenHedge1 on twitter.
 
End Of Season Awards , Pre-Season and Loads of new Signing.

Hey guys, sorry I forgot to my post the awards from last season and who I thought my Player of the season was.
Our Awards and Stats from last season. Our Top Goal scorer was Cregan with 22 goals. (Really sorry I messed this up, was meant to be a thread on its own, and shall be next time, sorry)

ALSO LOOK WHO CAME 2ND IN THE MANAGER OF THE SEASON.
D498D8F3D9BE70BEE01F5B3AC5A96770E504CA71


Right now ill get on with out transfers, there has been a lot of activity as we got rid of a load of players, Yakubu moved on to join another club, he was a good player but was ageing and I wanted to start bringing in younger places to have a young team as I believe last season we had one of the oldest squads in the league.
So here is our players we released, I mean some I am gutted are leaving as they played a big part of us reaching the play offs last season, but I just felt we needed to get some better players in, I mean by all means let me know your views of has been released.
9A169BB190AA017DCA695D27A6ADE4281435BD01


Here we go with the Players we have brought in and theres a few.
Kieran Harrison, a young CB and with Yakubu leaving and Ward retiring and our other CB loan ending this was defiantly an area we needed to strengthen and I reckon he will do a good solid job for us at the back.
84BE84FE0D835DC4722E27B583CD96DA6FF38A77


Next up was Bradley Goldberg, who in previous FMs I have managed him and his stats may not look amazing but he has always been a goal machine for me, and I needed to add depth to the striker department with all of them leaving or going back to there main club. Hope he can do the job when all upon.
72C20CA17D37D3163379B3A2BF1C4F0882967FA9


Next up another CB Called Joy Mukena, he is here to add cover for our CBs but with some game time could hopefully see some improvements during the season.
B1B2C8E27E0CCB1D801F59A807D3CFBA6021C45D


Next up is a young GK Oliver Webber as we needed a a back up to Crean as we lost our back up during the summer but I hope play him some cup games he may improve during the season.
BFC7EE6F084C52A40A7CB8BF96F3CF0A7236946A


Next up is a CM called Emmanuel Adebiyi, I wasn't looking our for a CM to be honest but when my scouts came across this player I gave him a trial and then saw him and had to sign him and believe he will partner Parkes perfectly in the middle of the park, a player who I am very excited about.
E3B21CF5A6C83DCCBE360C751630E4E86AC51BB3


N
D50D1CC0EF62AF508927F4F4200F6A3092217627
Next up is Gethyn Hill, he is here more as a back up option to Goldberg and Crregan.
D50D1CC0EF62AF508927F4F4200F6A3092217627


Next up is Zane Banton, I brought him in as we needed a RW as Anderson from last season went back and at that time he was the best player we could got but we have since got someone else in so Banton shall play as a back up for the RW.
508A1EF72C809F8ED5C4FEFEB6C5619C7A2F29AA


Next up is Callum Driver, we needed a RB and he will do a very good job for us and looks very solid and with having younger players I needed some players with some experience.

6C103CB5D9CBDFA48F40791C918302F592136DD3


Next up is Luca Cocoracchio a CB on loan from Chesterfield, and I mean look at him he is way to good for us I believe and im just so happy to have him and let his stats just do the talking.
8190BA0A7139477CFE26A3A5B368B6DFB33E23F1


Next up is Mason Saunders-Henry, a new young RW who its another one im excited about and given that hes going to get a load of game time I defiantly think we are going to see huge improvements in him and he is going to turn out to be right little gem for us.
51C33AD83A9A32828F42FF5AC13C03511CD2A45A


Next up is a young RB Called Marcel Elva-Foutaine, who I am hoping I can train into becoming our RB during the season but another very good player.
8EC043D2C5CE1B2A61C3F5D6FA6D4257196F30FC


Next up is a young attacking player called Khalid Simmo who is someone who I will look for to come off the bench to give me the edge on the attack or if we need to change formation he can play in the no.10 role for us.
4025914FDE940FAA8A49D5D61A56D30BC6DA4ECC


Next up is our new LB Scott Armsworth, another young lad but will become a key player for us.
3BB9EC20E58BC5CE65A2B8FB944EEEA16C284FE7


Next up is a back up CM Dylan Duncan, as during pre season we changed formation I needed another CM and Duncan defiantly is a steal and can help out when called upon.
0FBFD3A23DDBC605EE073E6C8CBB6E5474A6116B


Next up is another loanee Finn Tapp from MK Dons more than anything else to add numbers to the middle of the park, without costing me anything.
A04C6EA35DEA5A54831158C21C64A160DBD2F1E5


So that's all the transfers and there is a lot but I am going for the league this season and believe that we are stronger than last season.

Pre-Season fixtures. Wasn't great but changed formations a few times and was waiting for the new signings but saw signs of how good we can be.
444E515C06AE7698C2D939060237FC29DF12CDB6


Sorry for this one being so long but I hope you liked the transfers let me know what you think. Next update will be after the 1st month of ganes.

August 2019

So here we go another season lets see how we got in, in this post there is already an change in formation and a new player and a return of an old face.

So before the season started I still felt we needed depth in the middle of the park, I tried to get Healy back from last season but he went a joined another team, so we picked up Aiden Mesias, a young CM who is like I said here to add depth to the middle of the park for us and once again given game time could become a good player for us.
F21EF339511DD14392963F6E576E2112161E5CA8


So we also have Darren Ward back at the club as our Under 18's Assistant Manager, was such a good player for us last season and I like to bring old players back into come the club to be part of my coaching team.
E70012A5BD860CD9366EF65C0BE9F1C0CF8CFE47


Just to show you how many players we had to get in over the summer we were the busiest team out of all the leagues.
D5BFF441FA62667C8D21CE27323B9093A875D706


Here is the formation and tactics and what I believe to be our strongest starting 11.
A09E49FC14A1506D41A9EE44EB0B804B5B004F7D


VS Gloucester, first game of the season and what a way to start and we scored some amazing goals this game and I defiantly think Adebiyi will become a massive player for us. We had a comfortable 5-2 win here thanks to goals from Watt, Parkes x2 and Adebiyi x2 and he is just like Parkes loves to score wonder goals from outside of the box as his 2nd goal was a 20 yard FIRST time volley. Great way to start.
EF4448C069E8A2CEAFE7D99BAA16F634636D8EB0


VS Eastbourne Boro, A very boring game and no one did enough to win this, so a far result.
61D662729022B27D175175FDB12AED96C9E0A0CF


VS Billericay, Was fuming with this result, this would have been a massive result for us against the team who are favourites for the title, but for silly mistake we conceded a Penalty and they we were lucky to get the point in a game we were the better team. Once again Adebiyi scored another wonder goal for us.
2D52A515DFEBDB0CE57C8202093555C471018659


VS Slough, once again our CM take the headlines in this game Adebiyi scored a wonder goal for us and they drew level and I fought it was heading to a draw then we get a Free Kick upsteps Parkes and get us the 3 points with a beauty of a Free Kick.
E9B1BC9DCE9EE2ECA3FDA732890F52A7DB8B8E78


VS Basingstoke, Not a lot to say about this it was a boring game but thanks to Watt we come away with a share of the points.
8CB59B3B1CD17264ABA46FB02FDF52B126F11EA8


So after them games I wasn't happy that my strikers were not get involved enough so I change my formation and tactic so we had 2 up top, so here is what we changed it to.
0198F9A813E97AA474F8079F613D91BA3F85B1BE



VS Hungerford, a routine win with a help in hand when they had a player sent off on 2 minutes, we got the 3 points thanks to goals from Watts and another from Adebiyi who has now got 5 this season. Must admit I love my CM pairing so far this season and not relying on Parkes now.
1E7EC6299E2B524D2620E6FBB44E43C3F89DC5F6


LEAGUE TABLE: After a solid start we are unbeaten and are sitting in the play offs, and im happy with that with as my strikers have not been performing at all this season and once we get playing well then and my strikers find the net im sure and hope we will be sitting at the top of the league.
501650DE5D8DF2B9CF0D3FDFCE4E2BA97ED1700A


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: There is only one player and that is Adebiyi who has amazing for us at the start of the season and is chipping in with a few goals and I hope he can carry this on for us.

September 2019

Lets see if we can start performing better this month and our strikers can start finding the net again.

VS Bath, Once again but we were poor but walked away with a draw and Goldberg and Hill scored for us and least now 2 or my strikers have scored.
30E40B71D237B201440886FEEBC9939259959378


VS Chesham, Sooooo poor we were shocking and didn't deserve anything from this game, but I got a little bit of hope when Watts scored I fought then we would fight back to get a draw but we didn't, so this was our first lost of the season and the manner of it was embarrassing.
C3EE64F1F7E34B4E1A60F676D597AF35FA95A45D


VS Chelmsford, another game where my strikers didn't score and that is costing us massively in games. Thanks to Saunders-Henry 1st goal of the season we once again shared the spoils. MY STRIKERS NEED TO START SCORING!!!!!!
9C006BEA397ED730E2DFEB132B953A0BF23A2E65


VS Grays, F.A Cup 2nd Round Qualifying Round, a very routine win like last season and we are in the hat thanks to goals from Goldberg x2 and Simmo first of the season. But unlike last season we cant keep clean sheets.
278B7925524B507AF34678D7E73603F75B42BA28


VS Oxford City, well this is the month where just play ***** all month and this game was no different, didn't deserve anything from the game and got exactly that.
807141E283A9820428180953F3ED45CEEFE81C8A


VS Weston Super-Mare, So after the shocking results and the manner of the results I decided to go back to what I know and going back to having 3 in the middle of the park means that I can let Parkes and Adebiyi push on to where they can be more effective for us, and what a shock we walked away with the 3 points thanks to Goldberg and Cocoracchio, only downside we didn't keep our clean sheet yet, but defiantly think be sticking with the formation now and hopefully we can start picking up the points and actually show how good we are.
75A6ADBE1CCC0B912BA3C849426C5B54E16ABB26


LEAGUE TABLE: So after a shocking month we are 2 points off the Play-Offs but I hope with the formation change and letting Parkes & Adebiyi push forward and make an impact further up the field we can start getting some results for us, but with how ***** we have been Parkes and Adebiyi are in the top 3 for Average rating the league which just shows how important they are for us and also shows how bad our strikers are being as our Top Goal Scorer Is our CM Adebiyi. THEY NEED TO START ****** SCORING!!!!
C12A335EC04102936F62195A3B66D701E4176209


PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Watts has been the best of a poor month and is to be fair a very important player for us and is sometimes unplayable against, lets just hope we can get some of the other key players to start performing.
