Hey guys,
Before I start, I'd like to make a smsll declaration:
Transfers In
Transfers Out
So my squad looks like this, I've shown the CA and PA thanks to my assistant, Some of those 1 stars do perform well for me, and I tend to use them mainly as backup until i can free up the wage bill a bit in january. Natahan Davies has been called upon to sit in the DM role a couple of times, and on most occasions has held his own.
Squad
Will Grocett has been a key player for me, and is currently my only international player, representing northern Ireland under 19s. I still have a few areas I'd like to improve greatly on. I have a lack of depth in the middle so need to build on that. Also my goalkeeper aint the greatest and I'm on the lookout for a much better one. Maybe a loan signing to come in a january. Ashley Winn, has scored some good goals for me. Him and Grocett form a great midfield. Both with plenty of years in front of them.
Here are my pre-season results. We almost hung onto a draw against villa and beating west ham reserves was a big boost for the squad. Mixed bag of results but overall i was happy.
Pre-Season
And these are my results up to now. Some big win, some losses that we should have won. A run of 14 unbeaten in all competitions has been amazing. We were written down as relegation candidates and we are now lying in 2nd place. We took Bristol back to their ground in a FA cup replay but they were too strong.
Fixtures
Here is the league table after 22 games. Still plenty to play for, but we are in a stong position and what started out as hovering midtable, we have climbed up the table in recent weeks, and may even challenge for the title.
League Table
Thats all for now, I'll add a new post once I'm in a few more game months. January Transfer Window is coming up shortly, So might add a few more faces, but I don't think I'll change too much as it's clearly working at the moment. I do have two 16 year old scottish defenders joining up on the 1st, both lookl promising, but not ready for first tea, yet.
Cheers, and hopefully you enjoyed the read . My blog will be update before I update this thread, so feel free to subscribe at http://iphilbloggy.wordpress.com

So lets start with some transfer that I've brought in and released.My FM ability is limited. I'm not the greatest at the game, but I do enjoy it. I don't use any scout tools like genie scout nor do I use editors. I am on 11.2 patch. I may sign some dud players, I may sign some stars. As long as I keep my team above water then that's all I'm going to aim for each season. This is my playing experience that I am sharing. For first in the know updates you can follow my blog. Link in sig,
I've chosen Southport as it's a close local team to my self, and i fancied starting from the bottom. I'm looking forward to seeing how far I can take Southport. I'm a big liverpool fan, but i find managing in the lower league more fun.
I appreciate all comments, positive or negative so feel free to leave your thoughts. I respect constructive feedback, and posts just stating you shouldn't of signed such and such realy are no help to myself. I always will take in any advice given but as i mentioned earlier. ITs my playing experience and not yours.
Thankyou
