Sent To Coventry
Season 2
FIFA 15

FA Cup Round 5 Replay

Coventry 1-2 Newcastle (aet)
Abeid 11
Tudgay 50
Gouffran 112
Abeid opened the scoring, beating his man before curling beyond Allsop. Haynes was then sent off for an awful tackle but Tudgay was able to slot in, despite being down to 10 men. Substitute Diego Poyet was then sent of just 10 minutes after coming on for a 2 footed, late tackle, bringing us down to 10 men. We held on till extra time but unfortunately Gouffran slotted in to the far corner to give Newcastle victory.

Match 33

Coventry 1-1 Reading
Nouble 23
Cox 43

Match 34

Huddersfield 2-1 Coventry
Akpom 59
Wells 62
Wells 74
After just 15 minutes of the game, our goalkeeper Ryan Allsop was sent off, despite replays showing he clearly got the ball and nothing but the ball. Defensive midfield Jack Finch went in goal and pulled off a decent save with his legs at the first shot against him. Akpom opened the scoring, curling in off the post but Wells ran clear of the defence and Finch had no chance to save it. Finch was then chipped by Wells to give Huddersfield the victory.

Europa League Last 16 Leg 1

Coventry 0-0 Roma
We played a solid game in this match, trying to keep the game at our pace but more importantly keeping Roma at bay. We went into this game with the aim of keeping a clean sheet, and we did that. Fleck found himself in space a couple of times but wasted his chances.

Match 35

Coventry 2-1 Wolves
Sigurdson 62
Maddison 64
Miller 90
Sigurdson gave Wolves the lead in this tie, smashing in after Burge gave the ball straight back to Wolves after making a save. Maddison equalised, knocking in after a brilliant passing move allowed him to find space. Miller won it with the last attack of the game, rising higher than his marker to head home a cross.

Europa League Last 16 Leg 2

Roma 3-1 Coventry (3-1 agg)
Strootman 11
Dzyuba 29
Pjanic 50
Maguire 86
Our European dream ended at the Stadio Olimpico, Strootman smashing into the top corner after finding space. Dzyuba made it 2-0 with a stunning effort, breaking past O'Brien and smashing into the top corner when found in space 30 yards out. Pjanic made it 3, capitalising on bad clearance by Allsop to smash into the top corner from 30 yards. Maguire headed into the top corner to pull one back from a corner, giving us the slim hope of a comeback.

Match 36

Bournemouth 3-2 Coventry
Gosling 56
Rantie 61
Daniels 66 (PEN)
Akpom 69
Thomas 89
Gosling opened the scoring in this thrilling match, shrugging off the defender before smashing in. Rantie then headed in to give them a 2 goal lead and when Haynes made a bad tackle in the box, Daniels stepped up to convert the resultant penalty. Akpom stabbed in with his left boot to pull one back and Thomas smashed into the top corner late on but it was too little, too late.

Match 37

Coventry 2-1 Watford
Agard 48
Gomes 56 (OG)
Fabbrini 79
Agard opened the scoring, flicking the ball past the defender and stabbing under the goalkeeper. The second goal came about when Nouble went past the keeper and shot goal-wards from a tight angle. Gomes dived to try and prevent the goal and ended up palming it into his own net. Fabbrini got one back for Watford, sliding in under the keeper.

I thought in '15 age wasn't that much of a problem anymore. I know on '14 any player over 30 is going to decrease rapidly unless he plays every game of the month. I don't think age should be the main reason why Suarez is sold, unless he's been chewing through the opposition again :P

Well, if I get two hundred million you can be sure that I will spend them. I actually tried to get James Rodriguez instead of Götze but Real Madrid wanted €105 million for him which lead to me signing Götze who had six months left on his contract. Sadly my budget will be probably under €20 million next season which is a joke. I can barely get one first team player with that. FIFA 13 had the best budget system in my opinion, in that game it actually went up when you did well. In 14 the budget works fine because of the wage trick but in 15 nothing helps.

At least in my careers decreasing because of old age is a lot worse than in 14. I had players who were 28 years old decline even though they played pretty much every game. Sometimes the older players go up but it's really random and annoying. For example 31-year-old Pepe went up by two ratings while 28-year-old Hosogai declined by two overalls. Basically the only new thing that is working for me are the team sheets.

If I sell Suarez it will be for about hundred million like every time I sell a big player. His age isn't the most important thing but of course it's annoying when he goes down in overall. I have no idea who to sign if I sell him.

Wycombe Wanderers
FIFA 14
Season 1

Ok so, I decided to do a new CM to pass the time until I can get fifa 15.
I've chosen Wycombe Wanderers of League 2 to build and lead to glory!

Half Length: 7 minutes
Difficulty: World Class
Speed: Normal
Sliders: Orions

I turned off the first window to get a feel for the players already here and see what'll need strengthening in January. The budget at the moment is a measly 525k and 2k wages. I'll have to be smart in January!

Starting XI is currently: (4-4-2)

Matt Ingram 54 (GK) 19yrs

Marvin McCoy 58 (RB) 24yrs
Gary Doherty 61 (CB) 33yrs
Anthony Stewart 60 (CB) 20yrs
Charles Dunne 58 (LB) 19yrs (on loan)

Paris Cowan-Hall 58 (RM) 22yrs
Josh Scowen 59 (CM) 20yrs
Billy Knott 62 (CM) 20yrs (on loan)
Sam Wood 62 (LM) 27yrs

Steven Craig 60 (ST) 32yrs
Dean Morgan 60 (ST) 29yrs

SUBS:
Lee Harrison 50 (GK) 41yrs
Leon Johnson 59 (CB) 32yrs
Matthew Spring 59 (CM) 33yrs
Stuart Lewis 60 (CM) 25yrs
Jon-Paul Pittman 57 (LM) 26yrs
Jo Kuffour 56 (ST) 31yrs
Matt McClure (ST) 21yrs

As you can see my CBs are a bit old so will look to find some replacements in Jan and also maybe a striker too.

Pre Season went like this:

Wycombe 0-1 Uni Catolica
KV Oostende 0-1 Wycombe
Wycombe 4-0 Colo-Colo

First game of the season is away to Chesterfield.

August 2013

MATCHDAY 1 10/8
Chesterfield 1-1 Wycombe
S.Morsy (18')
A.Stewart (82')

Chesterfield were up 18mins in with a diving header from Morsy. It was their only shot on target as we got 5 on target from 7 attempts but we had to wait until the 82 minute for an Anthony Stewart Header from a free kick just outside the box on the right hand side crossed in by Pittman. We kept pressing but couldn't break through.

Man of the Match: Anthony Stewart

COC ROUND 1 13/8
Wolves 2-0 Wycombe
B.Sigurdarson (21')
B.Sigurdarson (75')

Our lack of quality and finishing was evident here (9 shots and 5 on target) as Sigurdarson scored twice in the 21rst and 75th minutes (their only 2 shots on target out of 4) as we bowed out of the Capital One Cup disappointed in the first round.

Our best: Charles Dunne

MATCHDAY 2 17/8
Hartllepool 0-2 Wycombe
S.Craig (28')
J.Pittman (74')

Great performance today by the team. Craig pounced on the rebound off the keeper from a Kuffour shot in the 28th minute and we were on top for the half. Early in the 2nd half Kuffour hit the post and then a great counter attack ended with Pittman finishing to the net in the 74th minute. Craig lashed one of the post in the 80th minute but by then the match was over.

Man of the Match: Gary Doherty

Next up Bristol Rovers at home.
