season 2016/17 complete! finished in a very creditable 12th place in the championship. gotta say im well impressed with my squad. brought in a new keeper as competition for the existing one, and he slotted straight into the first team and played so well, i decided to let the previous first choice move on. am losing a few players this summer, and unfortunately i dont think ill get much money (if any) for them, so i think next season will be even tougher for us. brought Hindmarch back to the club in the january window, to give my two strikers a bit of proven competition. Cost me £1.9m and he got 8 in 14 starts had a few strange w/p decisions with some potential signings, and with a lil luck ill get a wp feeder soon. keep asking for one but nothin doin so far. forgot to mention earlier i got Villa back as parent club, and i get bout £33k/year from them. sill only have Aldershot as a feeder, although i may look to change that in the summer as they dont seem to be progressing far, and i liek the youngsters to be playing at as high a level as possible. luckily we will be in the new stadium for the new season, which will help us trememndously, as we're losing money hand over fist atm cos Damson Park just isnt big enough, adn we're repaying £130k/month on a loan to build the new ground. rather po'd that uits less than 12k capacity, but no doubt we can soon increase that final tablehome screen

Just finished season 2017/18. Came 9th in Championship this time, performed a lot better this year, scored voer 100 gals again, but unfortunately conceded 72! need to tighten that up if we're gonna climb any higher. GD of +30 and finishing 13 points outside the playoffs says it all!! final tablehome

Just drew 2-2 with league leaders Rushden. 3 games left, level on point, level on goal difference. They have scored 97, while I have only scored 87 though. Its going to be a close run in!

season 18/19 done! pretty much more of the same really. we can score plenty but we just cant keep the bloody ball out of our own net! Just 5 clean sheets all season says it all. That has to be a priority for the summer, not sure how to fix it though, buying more players, altering tactics or both! im sure a solution will present itself soon (i hope, anyways) did well in the carling cup, got to rnd 4 and only lost by the odd goal to Newcastle, FA cup was crap though, out at the first hurdle. seeing if the board will expand the stadium any further, as we're still filling it out, despite last seasons increase in capacity. finally managed to get a WP feeder club, although theyre part-timers in the Belgian 3rd division, so not much use for sending players to. Have again terminated link with Villa, seeing what else we can find (if anything) final tablehome screen

quick update: given up on trying to shore up the defence, it just isnt working no matter what i try. decided to go with the tried n trusted "we can score more goals than you can" tactic. Paying off thus far, just lost once in the opening 9 games of the season. scored 27 and 21 against, just drew 5-5 with sheff weds no boring football where we play! lol

Making sure my team would be ready for life in League 2, I signed 19 players up. Pre season results haven't been all that good as I had been messing around with my new players, letting them get some game time amongst them. Won 3 and lost 2 friendly games, although those results did not reach my expectations.
Bring on Barnet, bring on League 2!

lol your defence is miles better than mine! probably is one of the best in the country, outside of the premiership. cant you let some goals in on my behalf, or something?! into Jan 202 now, and currently 4th in the Championshio! table making a much better go of it this time around, after going backwards a fair bit last season, its quite pleasing. still a long way to go though, so we'll see how things pan out.

Season 2019/20 completed!! Much much better than last season. scored a few less, but defence was a lot better, and this propelled us up the league. we were in or around the play-offs all season, and eventually finished 5th! cups were pretty disappointing, as usual, dont seem to get right far in any of them!! ground capacity is now at 17 656, and hopefully itll get a decent expansion if we get promoted, although the board have added some each summer since we moved to the new stadium. bank balance is moving along nicely, around £6m now, and i expect to lose a few players in the summer again, so no doubt it will swell even more, especially if we go up!! final tablehome screenwill report back on the playoffs once we're done... Got Birmingham out of 4 matches against them, we have only managed 1 draw lol doesnt look good
