vs Armthorpe Welfare
GK: Jimmy Barlow
D: Mick Deakin/Brian Haskins/Gareth Anderson/Taylor Hall
DM: Gareth Muldowney
M: Brian Denton/Alex Habergham
AM: David Parsons
S: Matty Hamilton/Leeroy Chinthengah

Forgot to go look for more DC, so we're running tired in that area.

4 - I love Muldowney's ironman nature. He's started all three games and here retrieves a clearance of his own pass to head it to Habergham. Parsons takes the ensuing pass and dribbles to the box line before firing into the upper right corner. USA USA USA! 1-0

7 - LOL. They backpass, only the defender suddenly runs ahead and the keeper charges forward... perfect for Chinthengah to beat everyone and put it in the literally unguarded net 2-0

8.4 by PotM Brian Haskins and 7.5 for Leeroy Chinthengah as it was an overall strong performance by a team that's starting to maybe look comfortable playing together.

vs Mossley (Friendly)
GK: Jimmy Barlow
D: Danny Brown/Brian Haskins/Gareth Anderson/Grant Cook
DM: Gareth Muldowney
M: Jimmy Wilcox/Sonny Egginton
AM: Frank Futcher
S: Matty Hamilton/Simon Stead

11 - Corner kick allowed goal oof 0-1

27 - Haskins head clears to Futcher to start a counter that ends in Stead kicking it back to Wilcox and up to Hamilton for the box-boundary goal 1-1

87 - Fucking 30 yard fluke goal 1-2

We lost $5.25k last month due to paying off the last of a loan, so hopefully this will be the start of a turnaround financially.

Transfer In - MC/AMC Craig Russell (17)
Gorgeous physical attributes - 14 Acceleration, 11 Agility, 13 Natural Fitness, 13 Pace, and some interesting Mental - 10 Aggression, 13 Determination, 15 Flair, 12 Workrate. 1/5 at AMC, 1/4.5 at MC. $55 goal bonus, $70 P/A fee. Really, really wanted to sign this kid to a long term contract but he wasn't having it.

Transfer In - DC Abs Wickenden (19)
16 Jumping, 15 Natural Fitness, 12 Stamina as my usual 6'8 workhorse. $130 P/A fee. 2.5/5 and an instant starter, though I really want him on a long-term contract, too. I've noticed, however, that the only guys willing to take on actual contracts are ones who suck.

[b]Transfer In - DLC Roger Sedgewick (17)
$45 P/A is all he wanted. 12 Aggression, 13 Composure, 13 Determination, 13 Teamwork, 17 Workrate, 10 Balance, 16 Jumping, 17 Natural Fitness, 12 Stamina, and another 6'8 defender. 1.5/5 as DC, 1/5 as DL.

20 - Feels like we just played these guys. Wickenden own goal 0-1

45 - Yeah this is shaping up as a terrible debut for the new guys. Russell is knocked out with injury.

56 - When you have 5 straight clearances go right to the opponent, you know they're going to score 0-2

Team played like shit in the last friendly. Not a good way to go into the games that count.
