Season Review
Just finished my 1st season with Man Utd and despite having the 2nd best g/s record in the league (82) behind eventual winners Chelsea (87), I also managed to boast the 2nd worst g/c record (also 82), missing out on the impressive feat to rock-bottom Burnley (89) and also conceding 21 more than 19th place Leicester. Much like the above poster, I too started the season with high hopes after tinkering with tactics since the days of CM 01/02. With a record of 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats (23 scored/11 conceded) in pre-season, I guess I should've noticed the cracks that eventually lead to a 9th place league finish.
After a 3-goal collapse in the season's first game (3-3 draw at home to Swansea), I went unbeaten for the next 7 games, conceding 6 goals as well as keeping 3 clean sheets in the progress and at this point, I well and truly thought my fortunes had changed until the next game that spawned 4 defeats (1-4, 2-3, 1-2 & 1-3) sandwiched in between 4-0 & 5-0 home victories. Where's the consistency, right? There were glimmers of hope before my inevitable final day sacking, such as reaching the FA Cup final, losing on penalties in the COC qtr-final and finally a few 3-5 game unbeaten runs here and there, consisting of mostly draws.
For some incredibly frustrating reason, I can't post the final paragraph due to it containing too many URLs and/or forbidden words or whatever, despite containing neither of both...
