Okay before reading this I would suggest you have a quick read of my Liverppol overview on post 397. It just explains a little about about how I follow the guide, Conduct team talk, occassionally train attacking positioning. I also ensure I play without any reloading, in game or out of, thankfully I rarely if ever encounter crashes.
Before the beginning of the season I took over Bishop's Stortford predicted 8th in the Vanarama National League South.
Throughout the season I did make use of several loan players and also signed some free agents most notable Andy Johnson who although ended the season with about 7 acceleration and pace did remain a solid finisher.
I wont put up a transfers in and out because lets face it unless you avidly follow non league football you have no idea who they are or how good they are. To be honest I find it harder to tell at this level as well.
Competition Overview

Overall League table - Look at goals conceded. Also joint top goal scorers.

Home record - A decent but frustrating home record, we were constantly playing teams with 10 men behind the ball

Away record - this was more impressive as teams actually tried to play football. We scored more away than we did at home!

Stats - not only the defensive stats put the possession and pass accuracy show that this tactic is more than playable at a low level

First half of the season - dodgy results before the tactic was fluid that became a key reason we didnt break the 100 point barrier. We lacked goals at this point, I expect team cohesion and match sharpness to have played a part as well.

Second half was much better no players came in after December and that made a difference. We had a 12 game winning streak. The end was a little disappointing as perfomances dropped once the title was won. I had a lot of player with the 'looking complacent' debuff.

FA Cup run - Barnet were a league 2 side. I think we held our own.

FA trophy run - some good results we beat Guisely from the division above eventually an inform Aldershot also from a division above stopped us, just. I remember dominating the game but to no avail.

Finally some key player stats - well balanced goal scorers. Johnson missed a lot of games to injury. Look at the high average ratings.

A very good season, similar to that of my Liverpool season. I believe this shows that alongside correct player and morale management V5 is an incredible tactic for teams in all divisions. Quite simply, it works.
