Transfers in.
View attachment 87701
Making Transfers has been extremely difficult, we've hired the best Chief Scout available (6 JCA & 6 JPA) :(, a total of 44 players have joined Wasps FC to fill out the First and Reserve teams!

Pre-Season.

We only have 5 slots available for Friendly games, and they've already been scheduled by our Chairman David Boggins;

Kingstonian H
AFC Sudbury A
Greenwich A
Daventry A
Coventry City H

Training.

I will have training set to Team Cohesion for our Pre-Season due to the large amount of incoming players!​

Pre-Season Results.

View attachment 87670

I think we had a decent pre-season, it was nice to get all 40+ players some game time, this allowed me to decide on who should be in the First team/Reserve team, also who should be released already :O

Starting XI.

I have created a starting XI based on who has performed the best during pre-season for me.

No strikers? Ha! Bold.

I'm watching this, I like the idea of starting literally from nothing.

Awesome, Thanks!

I have no idea what to expect! I've had to sign 40+ players, mostly with awful stats!

I have found "Strikerless" tactics seem to be the strongest in this years game :)
 
Kingstonian - We were handed our first loss in our first ever game in a 2-1 victory for Kingstonian, Aaron Chalmers heading home our first ever goal!
AFC Sudbury - Were easily beaten by Wasps in a 4-0 away victory, two goals for Man of the Match Billy Lobjoit, one for Francis Vincent who went off injured at half time, and the fourth by Emanuel-Williamson.
Greenwich - They started the game well, but conceded all 3 goals in the second half, with Billy Lobjoit scoring first and Emanuel-Williamson netting a brace.
Daventry - We finished our Pre-Season away to Daventry in a 1-1 draw, Emanuel-Williamson scoring his 4th Pre-Season goal!

Whitehawk - Our wonderful home form continued with a 4-1 thrashing of Whitehawk, Billy Lobjoit scoring twice, Aaron Chalmers and Deri Corfe also found the net.
Welling United - A very close game, but we held on to a narrow 1-0 away win, Deri Corfe scoring the only goal of the game, his 6th goal in his last 7 games!
St Albans City - Billy Lobjoit scored the only Wasps goal in a 1-1 draw at Clarence Park in front of an attendance of 503 people!

Really good start, defence generally looking solid and getting the goals, as I was born in Brackley hope the cup game is a good one with them

Thanks for commenting. I have started much better than i thought i would, seeing that i started with zero players! I will be continuing this afternoon, so will post up the October results later, thank you to everyone viewing, liking or commenting :)
 
If I saw a bunch of wasps coming at me on fire, I would be terrified too :p

Wicked start!
