yep my son showed up as a regen, he isnt very good but im goina play him (and maybe once the full game comes out i might be tempted to cheat and bump up his potential if its possible)

[bulletsponge]

heres a pic of my son. i know hes my son because its listed under fav personel. im listed as his father

season finale vs Coventry

0-2 loss

ill do end of season write up tomorow

[bulletsponge]

i resigned Beck, Livesey, Cropper, todd and potts. Cropper is turning into a real good GK and im lucky to resign him at this lvl. Potts is a good lg 1 player and will do well in the championship when i get there. Todd is a cheap homegrown player. Livesey is the captain and despite him being as slow as mollassas (5 pace) has been very good (7.57 rating) over the 2 seasons and consistant. Beck is being mentioned for league 1 player of the year and is still young and improving.

i finish the season 300K in the black, much better than last year

Potts got onto the skybet league 1 team of the year at fullback

[SirFozzie]

Id suggest going to your team screen (click on your squad, then your team name) and giving players who need rest a leave (under the players sub menu, extended leave or something similar)

[bulletsponge]

ok season preview

i sold MC Noble, i was loaded at MC and he was earning 80k a year. sold him for 60k. this will also let my 5* youngsters more PT. brought in 4 loanees to fill out my squad, most on defense.

full team preview upcoming

[bulletsponge]

cody cropper starting keeper.



Sheldon. backup versatile young defender with room to grow



Potts. Starting RB and CB



Livesey. starting CB and captain. despite his speed is very good L1 CB



Broughan. backup LB with untapped potential



Danny Simpson. Hot young CB and best defender. Liverpool are sniffing around



my 3 defensive loanees. they will all get heavy rotation

[bulletsponge]

Midfield

DM Gray. very young and untapped potential



Todd. backup DM/MC/AMC



Lynch. rotation mid



Smith. vet mentor and rotation



Watts. hot young prospect and great potential

[bulletsponge]

williams. loanee winger



Brough. young backup



Symington. versital starter



McAleavy. my star player and top prospect. im stunned he hasnt been snatched away yet



Larmour. raw talented winger. needs to improve and show some of that potential



Butler. same as Larmour. untapped potential



Beck. Tall target man, dominates in the air

not all is good news. McAleavy told me he needed to move clubs, i told him id sell him at the end of the year. currently a who's who of PL clubs are following him. i put a price of 1 million on him hoping to get some bites. id rather get 750k + 20% future. any offer that large comes in and im sure the board will take over negotiations

crap i lost 1-0, no trip to old trafford this year

[UK Rookie]

Great job Mr B,

pity you didn`t beat the "evil empire",but you took a shed load of cash back to Brunton Park,so alls good.

ps You really play your games quickly...LOL

Prem League... here Carlisle come.

[bulletsponge]

heres a list of the games i played during the hollidays. not good. on the plus side im into the JPT north final which is a home/away fixture which should get me some nice cash. and if i win that a trip to wembly for a decent cash game.



i had to sell Promising foward McAleavy for 450K and a 35% future fee to Derby. i hope that future fee is in the millions . i currently have 2 new youngsters coming in from Ireland in a few days and am looking at 1 or 2 more promising guys

Imagebam doesnt seem to be working right now, and i dont trust the other image hosts to stay SFW. sop bear with me

more bad news. Dylan Gray my promising welsh DMC, his contract is running out and he refuses to renew. theres 6 PL team looking at him but his value is so low i dont know how mush i can get for him

[bulletsponge]

heres 3 nice youngsters i bought



Deasy and McKee are my future Centerbacks and Lindsey is a good replacement for McAleavy. my scouts think Lindsey and Deasy have PL potential and both cost around 95k each. McKee cost a mere 13k

days off means lots of games

ill make it to the Premier League.... i dont know when but i will.

[bulletsponge]

*sigh* my promising young DMC Gray just got sold. 145K and 35% future sell on fee to Championship club Barnsley

[bulletsponge]

new players, 2 wingers.... both named Moran

[bulletsponge]

ugg were struggling. im not even getting shots on goal



10 points out of a possible 33 in the last 11 games

[bulletsponge]

disaster time. at least the board still has my back and if i can turn it around i can make the playoffs

such a horrible run, but im still in contention

[bulletsponge]

ok ive sorta gotten back on track and im almost into a playoff position




im only 1 point out of the final spot, but its very crowded. my final 2 games are against average teams Shrewsbury and Sheff U

[bulletsponge]

yes, we beat shrewsbury 2-0

but were still 1 point behind

[bulletsponge]

sigh. we lost @ Sheffield United 1-0. my midfielders just arnt good enough. the media reports during my slump mentioned the MC's wernt good enough and i agree. we didnt control the games from the MC spot. even if we had won we wouldnt have made the playoffs.

[bulletsponge]

ok were in the offseason. ive let a bunch of scrubs go, only Brough the LW is a 1st teamer. i sold Danny Simpson to Everton for 850k and 20% future sell on fee! im currently 990K in the black. i am at my wage limit but i have 177k in the kitty i can move around. ill post the new guys later

i might sell Beck, he disappointed my down the stretch last year

[bulletsponge]

a surprise move. Preston make a 235K bid for Potts. i like pots, hes versatile and plays all his roles well, but hes getting expensive and has maxed out his potential. 235 is more than i will ever get for him so i have to accept

[bulletsponge]

heres the new Cumbrians



Clarke was free and will be a backup/tutor



Frampton cost me 150k, a carlisle record. hes driven and came from a skrill Wimbledon team. i have high hopes he has tons of untapped potential



Jackson cost 50k. ive been watching him for a few years but he had horrible technique, composure and strength. he improved a lot over the years and his pace should make him a real terror in the league



McCarthy was free. will be a backup for now



another free player. backup and hopefully he can develop

[bulletsponge]

Season opener.

we get humiliated at home 5-0 vs Brentford

i tried out the 4-4-2 diamond... now im throwing that into the trash heap.

[bulletsponge]

home vs fleetwood (L2) in the capitalone cup

i go to the 4-2-3-1 and put speedster Jackson up top. it pays off immediately with a penalty. but then we stink it back up

lost 2-4. 2nd straight home loss where i give up 4 goals

[bulletsponge]

@ Leyton Orient

i go back to my ol trusty 4-3-2-1 with a DM and 2 wingers.

were up 2-0 at half. why does this formation give me better defense?

2-0 win. whew. nothing worse than starting the season on a losing streak

[bulletsponge]

home vs Chesterfield

i put jackson up top and he scores a quick goal again!

woot scott on chesterfield picks up 2 quick yellows and is out

a 2-0 win behind 2 goals from jackson

PL clubs are sniffing around Larmour and Sheldon. both of thier contracts end this season. sheldon wants to move up and wont renew (right now). if a good offer is made i will sell

[bulletsponge]

@ Rochdale

2-0 at half. Watts scores of a fluky free kick and JJ scores again. damn i love that guy already. never underestimate pure grade A speed in the lower leagues

we blow the lead, but then score in stoppage time to snatch a win from the jaws of a draw

[bulletsponge]

hosting Oxford

6 min in, Lindsey runs down the right flank unopposed and crosses into JJ for an easy tap in

we win 2-0

[bulletsponge]

@ Gillingham. im missing quiet a few 1st teamers and have to start my son a LB and have 3 reserve teamers on the bench

we lose 2-1. we were outplayed

[bulletsponge]

hosting Colchester

we fall behind 1-0 on some sloppy defending, but then we get our shit together and put pressure on colchesters goal and eventually score 2 before half. "Action" Jackson scores 1
2-1 halftime

JJ scores another in stoppage and we win 3-1

heres the table

[bulletsponge]

@ Swindon

Action Jackson swipes a backpass to the keeper and scores an easy goal. you cant teach speed

JJ scores again in the 20th min.
woohoo McKee scores off a corner right before half. 3-0 us!

Jackson ends with a hattrick by the 6th min. we win 4-0 in an ass kicking contest vs a one legged man
