ROAD TO RECOVERY
SEASON 1

Match 27

Shrewsbury 2-2 Coventry
Taylor 32
Wilson 34
Martial 47
Taylor 62
Taylor gave the Shrews the lead with a blistering strike before Wilson headed in an equaliser. Martial smashed in early on in the second half but Taylor got his second, heading in to equalise.

Match 28

Gillingham 1-1 Coventry
Wilson 10
Lee 29
Wilson gave us an early lead after a good passing move between himself, Delfouneso and Fleck. Lee came through the defence to equalise and then from then it was quite a dull match.

FA Cup Round 3

Coventry City 1-1 Manchester United
Welbeck 9
Seaborne 80
As the most successful club in English football came to town, Welbeck fired in to give them the lead. But we put them under pressure, with Martial and Wilson both hitting the bar. Seaborne equalised with an unchallenged header taking us to a replay at the Theatre of Dreams...

Match 29

Coventry 0-1 Leyton Orient
Dagnall 49
An unfortunate defeat, Dagnall getting the only goal firing under Murphy into the near post.

FA Cup Replay

Manchester United 0-2 Coventry
Delfouneso 16
Wilson 86
The shock of the tournament so far with Delfouneso curling in expertly to give us the lead. Man. Utd failed to threaten and when Jones fell over trying to clear the ball, Wilson capitalised and smashed in.

Thoughts

A topsy-turvy month with good and bad results. Elated to beat United but devastated to lose to Orient.

Press Conference

Q: It looks like you have managed to cope better with the loss of Graziano Pelle this time around compared to last time. What is different than before?

A: February is a short month, but we took full advantage of it taking 9 points in the 3 games played. Even though we lost our best striker we still managed to put up 3 goals in each of the 3 games. Our attackers are very much on the same page right now. Suso and Depay are providing great support for Iglesias on the wings, and the addition of Marcos Lopes has really helped take the pressure off of Juan Dominguez in the midfield. Everyone is playing together as a team, and right now it is resulting in beautiful football.

Q: Another injury has struck, this time Mario Gaspar. How does this effect the team going forward?

A: It hurts our back line, but we have a capable reserve in Tarık Çamdal to fill in. Gaspar hurt his hamstring during practice and we are expecting him to be out for 1-2 months. We are hoping to have both him and Pelle back to finish the season as we make our push for European football.

Q: The youth academy you have set up has really blossomed and you have the academy full of players waiting to make their senior debuts. Do you expect any players to be making the move up soon?

A: We have several great talents in the academy at the moment that we fully believe have the potential to be impact players for Deportivo in the future. There may be a some that will get called up before the end of the season, but it is an ongoing evaluation. I do promise that we are keeping a close eye on all of the youngsters.

Stevenage - 35 points ~~~~~~~~~~ AFC Wimbledon are the 2014/2015 Football League 1 Champions! After finishing the season with 1 draw and 2 defeats it looked like the possibilities of achieving back to back league championships were gone, but miraculously 1 single point separated them from 2nd place Huddersfield! Chavez will now have to think long and hard about how he will prepare this team, which many thought would be a mid-table team in League 1, for the FL Championship. Will he cut players that don't seem talented enough for the Championship such as Charlie Sheringham, Jack Midson and Jake Nicholson? Or will he honor the hard work all of these players have made the past 2 years and keep current squad? Charlton Athletic were clear favorites to win the Promotion Playoffs, but they could not handle the pressure and fell to 6th place Portsmouth. It looked like Portsmouth would join AFC Wimbledon in achieving back-to-back promotions, but one upset in the playoffs was enough for them as Bristol City took the lead achieved promotion. Wimbledon goalkeeper Ross Worner has earned himself back-to-back Golden Gloves after finishing this season with the most clean sheets (32) followed by Charlton Athletic's Hamer (25). Ross Worner is also the only Wimbledon player to be named in the Football League 1's Team of The Year. The League 1 Golden Boot has been awarded to Huddersfield's Wells (23 goals) who also finished the season with most assists (12). Ex-Wimbledon striker Danny Hylton's goal scoring record for Wimbledon from the 2013/2014 season remains standing at 25 goals. Danny Kedwell was the club's top scorer with 17 league goals in 31 league appearances. It will be interesting to see who takes the starting role next season, as Terry Gornell looked promising with 6 goals in 11 league appearances. Academy prospects Diego Ortiz (63, potential to be special) and Kyle Shelvey (62, 75-81 POT) have officially been promoted to the senior squad and attended the team's last training before going out on vacation. Mario Ruiz (60-64ovr, 81-87 POT) is expected to be promoted to the senior team in the upcoming months when he turns 16. It's been a pleasure covering Wimbledon's last two seasons. Thank you for being with us along the way. Until next time, this has been ChicoBass for HYFCMG. Hope you enjoyed this season as much as I did!

Congrats on your promotion! Not only did you maintain the auto promotion spot, you won the league! Great season, looking forward to the challenge of the championship for you!

The Championship Awaits

I have received confirmation that current Manager of The Year Chavez is indeed looking to bring in new players to the squad as he prepares for his biggest challenge yet. Chavez has informed the Wimbledon board of directors that he is interested in 27 year old CDM Sam Hird from Chesterfield, 26 year old CDM Chris Basham from Blackpool, and 27 year old ST James Hanson from Bradford City. It was rumored that George Francomb might be coming back to Kingsmeadow from Ipswich, but I assure you it is only a rumor. Francomb's value has doubled since he left Wimbledon and his salary exceeds that of any current Wimbledon player.

AFC Wimbledon have qualified for the Europa League!
Yes, you read that right gentlemen, AFC Wimbledon will be playing their first European match this upcoming August! The board want Chavez to reach the knockout stage, however before they can even enter the group stage they must first play a 2-leg qualifying round against French giants Paris Saint-Germain. This will be an extremely difficult challenge for Chavez very early in the season, but let's not forget that he has managed to knock out Arsenal and Liverpool from cup competitions in the past.

Funding
Chavez has big plans for this season, but unfortunately for him The Dons Trust was only able to finance a $375,000 transfer budget and a $1,800 wage budget. This may very well halt Chavez's transfer plans and possibly the youth academy as well.

Bringing you the latest news from Kingsmeadow this has been ChicoBass, thank you reading.

I wish the board was as excited as I am for this upcoming season. Check out the new update!

This is not good. I was expecting one of my 15 year old academy players to turn 16 at the beginning of this season, but he's still 15. He was going to be a starter right off the bat but I can't promote him yet. Really hope he turns 16 by next month and not mid-season. So far nothing has gone as planned and the season hasn't even started yet...

Ouch. The board gave you NOTHING. Did you do the wages trick? That's just ridiculous. Combined with playing PSG in the qualifying round as well as the youth fiasco. That's not good. Maybe you will get money for that qualifier for the Europa league that could go some ways. Not sure on that one though. Man, I'd say maybe it was time to consider a financial takeover, but then that kind of compromises the whole supporter owned factor you have.

Gatt seems to be your golazo king, he was a target of mine but proved to be out of my budget.

Agreed, Arsenal have become a real rival for me in the last few seasons not to mention they are a London team as well.

As far as the signings, I can't wait to have Schar into the club next season and thanks for the input on Sam. He does have the statistics that would make me think that he should fit well into my current system, but if he doesn't and we get rid of him the nice part will be that we will make a nice profit from that business since we brought him in on a free.
