Great job staying on top of the table! Cummins is continuing to look unstoppable which is good to see! He just requested a transfer in my career since he has been playing backup, so I had to send him on his way and get a chance to start somewhere.

Skybet League 2 Match:

Exeter City 4 – Wycombe 2

EXE- Cummins (5’)

Reid picks the ball up wide on the left, skips past the full back and crosses it in with his weaker foot. It floats to Cummins, who uses his strength to keep the defender behind him and volley the ball with his weaker foot into the bottom corner.

Bennett got injured in seventh minute. (Replaced for Pat Baldwin)

EXE - Cummins (22’)

This one is a simple one for Cummins who, when Nichols loses the ball, instantly presses the defender with the ball. Once again he uses his strength to pull the defender back and nicks the ball off him. Cummins shows how good his form is by just casually flicking the ball over the sprawling goalkeeper to make it two. You can instantly see that Cummins is looking of a third for himself.

EXE - Nichols (39’)

Reid brakes away down the left, leaving everyone for pace. He crosses a hard, low ball into the corridor of uncertainty and Tom Nichols comes out of nowhere and slides along the floor to poke it in.

Sercombe was injured in forty-second minute after a collision on the half-way line. (Replaced for Oakley)

EXE - Cummins (74’)

After some patient and skilful team passing Wheeler bombs down the right and delivers a low cross into the box. Cummins is first to react and somehow gets in front of the goalkeeper and prod the ball into the net to make it a hat-trick. He runs into the technical area and celebrates with his manager.

WYC - Hayes (75’)

Exeter turn off slightly as Cowan hall runs down left and delivers a cross along the ground to the back post where Hayes is waiting to tap it in.

WYC - Cowan-Hall (83’)

Scowen receives the ball near the penalty spot but the stops dead in his tracks and calmly picks out the running Cowan-Hall who’s next to the post who just slots it in the corner. Bee will be annoyed that he lost the clean sheet so easily but it won’t overshadow the brilliance of Cummins who takes away the match ball.

Our Best Performer: Graham Cummins (I think it’s obvious...)

Dr Peter Riou (Senior Physiotherapist):

“Liam Sercombe is out for 4 weeks with a sprained ankle.” (Will be replaced by Aaron Dawson who will go in Central Defensive Midfield position)

“Scot Bennett is out for 9 days with a bruised shoulder.” (Will be replaced by Pat Baldwin)

Skybet League 2 Match:

Morecambe 1 – Exeter City 2

MOR– Fleming (21’)

Jamie Devitt collects the ball on the wing after twenty minutes of knocking on the door for Morecambe, he does a couple of step-overs to fool Jamie Reid on the right and then passes it to Andy Parrish on the edge of the box who slots it into Andrew Fleming who beautify shoots on the half turn and it rolls past the stretching Christy Pym. Not the great start which Exeter City are used to.

EXE – Cummins (53’)

After a very wobbly start by Exeter, they finally score the equaliser. Morecambe start passing around in the defence but instantly they realise that they are getting pressed intensely. Morecambe defender Laurence Wilson passes back to his goalkeeper, Barry Roche, who can’t scoop it up and is under pressure by the charging Cummins. Roche takes an awful touch which makes the ball roll into empty space allowing Cummins to slide and poke it past the despairing goalkeeper and into the net.

EXE – Nichols (63’)

Reid has the ball on the left and sprints into the box where he pulls it back for Cummins who shoots first time but it’s blocked. The rebound falls straight into the path of Nichols who just fires it into the top left corner with his weaker left foot. As Nichols celebrates, Barry Roche lowers his head and miserably collects the ball from the net and kicks it down field. Roche is consoled by his team when the final whistle blows but he leaves the pitch without saying a word.

Our Best Performer: Tom Nichols (Despite not playing the full ninety minutes, he was amazing with his high pressing of the defenders and he forced them to become nervous on the ball and he also scored the winning goal.)

Jordan Moore-Taylor: “Hi boss. I’m glad you’ve got the faith in me to continue to pick me, thanks for that.”

Skybet League 2 Match:

Cambridge Utd 0 – Exeter City 4

EXE – Nichols (20’)

Grimes picks the ball up on the half-way line and runs to the left. He uses his pace to get past the Cambridge right back, Richard Tait to deliver a low ball into the box where Nichols shrugs off his marker to slot it through the keeper’s legs and into the goal.

EXE – Cummins (24’)

Cummins scores his ninth in nine. Aaron Dawson cuts into the middle, skips past a slide tackle and makes the goalkeeper’s hands sting with a venomous shot making it a corner to Exeter. Wheeler whips the ball in and it goes straight to Cummins in the middle of the area, he rises over everyone else to head it past Chris Dunn.

EXE –Coulson (OG) (41’)

Cambridge start to pass around in their defence and Cummins, Nichols and Dawson press any opposing player that touches the ball. It’s passed to centre back, Harry Lennon, who takes a bad touch and Dawson ceases the opportunity and steals the ball off of Lennon and realises that Chris Dunn is charging off his line so Dawson nudges the ball to the right and takes a curling shot which takes a sizeable deflection off of Josh Coulson and into the net.

(Cummins gets injured after a crunching tackle by Issago Diallo in the box. Cummins tries to play on but is substituted on the sixty-seventh minute to not make the injury worse.)

Bee pats Cummins on the back sympathetically as he wobbles off the pitch with the medical staff helping him forward. If the injury is bad, it will definitely have an effect on the team.

EXE – Davies (90’)

Wheeler takes a cross from the left. There’s all sorts of movement in the box but Arron Davies meets the ball at the near post to header in nicely. He had a lot to do as the ball was behind him but he managed to twist his neck and get it past the goalkeeper and into the bottom corner. Bee still hasn’t lost in the league so far but the injury of Cummins will surely be a blow.

Our Best Performer: Aaron Dawson (For his work ethic, he also played really well and contributed to the team greatly with his chances and with his passes but credit to David Wheeler who got two assists from his great corners.)

Dr Peter Riou (Senior Physiotherapist):

“Graham Cummins has suffered a Sprained Ankle and will be out for about three weeks.” (Will be replaced by Matthew Jay.)

Paid £149,000 on youth scout Dean McGeehan from Northern Ireland. He was sent to Australia for nine months.

Skybet League 2 Match:

Dr Peter Riou (Senior Physiotherapist):

“The medical staff have cleared Liam Sercombe to return from his injury so he can rejoin the first team squad’s training sessions."

Liam Sercombe: “Hey boss. I was wondering if you would play me for our next game as I feel it is an important one for the club.”

Callum Bee: "I’m sorry, but I don’t think you’re up to up to full fitness at the moment and I don’t want to risk you aggravating your injury or picking up a new one but I will be able to play you in the match up against Bury. If you insist, I will bring you on as a substitute if need be.”

Exeter City 2 – Luton Town 2

LUT – Guttridge (35’)

Guttrige picks the ball up on the edge of the penalty area and runs at the defenders, he finds some space and runs into it but Moore-Taylor tries to get the ball back but ends up not touching the ball and bringing the man down on the very edge of the box. Moore-Taylor is very lucky to only get a booking as he could have been the last defender but the referee doesn’t think so. Guttridge steps up for the free kick. He looks confident and fixed on the goal. He takes it quickly and he whips the ball over the jumping Ribeiro and more importantly, past the stretching Pym and it dips perfectly to go into the corner.

LUT - Benson (54’)

Luton left back, Scott Griffith, finds himself on the right wing. He turns to leave Woodman for dead and then drifts into the middle and passes to Benson who nudges the ball to the left and smashes the ball into the far corner. It looks like it’s going to be Bee’s first league defeat...

EXE - Watkins (60’)

Straight after Benson’s goal Bee took off Matthew Jay and Jimmy Keohane, replacing them for Ollie Watkins and Liam Sercombe and four minutes later, Ollie Watkins finds himself slotting the ball in the net after Jordan Moore-Taylor came running up the pitch and delivering a low cross to Watkins. Bee made a good choice subbing him on and it might just change the game entirely if Exeter can push for another goal.

EXE–Wheeler (89’)

Tom Nichols picks the ball up on the half-way line and tries to put a through ball into Wheeler who is cut in front of by Fraser Franks who intercepts the ball. He then tries to pass to Scott Griffiths but it has too much on it and it allows Ollie Watkins to be one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Instead of shooting, Watkins cuts it back to Wheeler who makes a great run from the wing and into the box to just slot the ball into the net. Bee jumps up out of his seat and celebrates with the home crowd.

Our Best Performer: Ollie Watkins (For turning the game around pretty much single-handedly. He also scored and set up the winning goal. He also got man of the match and that’s quite impressive for someone who only came on the pitch for thirty-six minutes.)

Liam Sercombe: “It’s disappointing that we didn’t win but I tried my hardest throughout the game. I just wanted to say for bringing me on the pitch before it was too late."

Skybet League 2 Match

Bury 0 – Exeter City 2

EXE – Nichols (7’)

Jamie Reid passes the ball down the left where Nichols receives the ball. Nichols then bombs down the wing, cuts inside and drifts into the box where he can easily put it past the goalkeeper and into the corner.

EXE – Wheeler (36’)

Bury right-back Pablo Mills tries to run down the wing but is tackled by Reid. The ball rolls out to Nichols who feeds it to Watkins who then passes to Grimes who is in the middle and then he picks out the unmarked Wheeler on the right. He drifts into the box and slots it home. It’s a great counter attack by Exeter City and it also finishes the game off.

Our Best Performer: Tom Nichols (Nichols was involved with every attack and when he had the ball, he wasn’t tackled once because he was so hard to mark. He scored a great individual goal and after that you could see that he still wanted more. He also dropped deep to receive the ball and it was effective as his passing accuracy was pretty good. (77%) Another thing was his pressing; he made more successful tackles than the hole of the back line.)

Player of the Month:

Tom Nichols

Tom has scored in four in five matches this month and he has really stepped up to the plate while Cummins was injured (and before). His total is six in eleven games which is definitely a positive. He’s shone above everyone this month in my opinion so he wins the Player of the Month award.

Press Conference:

Q: Another brilliant month for you in the league but it wasn’t perfect due to the loss of you star striker. How much of a blow has that been?

A: It’s been a big blow to the team but the thing I really want to emphasise is that the team has really dealt with the situation well and have managed to produce great performances throughout those games.

Q: It was also a great start to the season for Graham Cummins who scored a hat-trick in the Wycombe game and scored in the other two games he was in before he was injured making it nine in nine. When is Cummins expected to be back and do you think he will continue his good form?

A: I’m glad to say that Graham should be back for the next game against Burton Albion if everything goes according to plan and of course. I don’t think that Graham is going to let his injury faze him at all. He’s a tough lad and has incredible stamina so he can play nearly every match so I expect him to do well when he comes back.

Q: You’ve got Gillingham away in the J. Paint Trophy early next month, how do you think you’ll fare against them?

A: Every opponent creates their own challenges and it is no different for Gillingham, so I will be doing a lot of research after the Albion game and choose what’s best for my team and if my preparation is good enough, we should be able to beat them and advance further into the cup.

Q: You spent a lot of money on Dean McGeehan, your newest youth scout, why did you make that move?

A: I really wanted to set up a scouting network to look for promising youngsters because it is very healthy for a team to be able to produce their own promising youth players and bring them up into the first team. I will be making sure that they are working hard and I hope to find some talented players doing this. You’ve got to pay a lot of top quality youth staff to make sure that they know how to handle the youth squad to blossom and allow a bright future to the club.

Interviewer: Thank you for your time.

Bee: Cheers.

Very solid month! Cummins is a beast and hopefully the injury doesn't have an effect on his goal scoring.

Great month and Dybala showing his class once again.
Who's this guy Gomez,is he good? Cus one of my last names is Gomez,so you know haha xD

and... about your question,both ways are good,do the one you think is better for you

Thanks! I was really happy when that game ended because Juve are a top team. Dybala was scoring a lot but often the goal was the only thing he did in the whole game. He is improving, though.

The Gomez guy is Juan Ignacio Gomez, also known as Juanito Gomez. He's an Argentinian winger who I just benched.

I will start writing the October update soon, tune up for it!

Keano, it's sad to see the Wycombe career end. I enjoyed it a lot and I hope I'll enjoy the Swansea one, too. I actually did a career with them a few months ago but I got bored in January. Then I started my Hertha career. By the way, is your username pronounced Kee-no (the e's like in eagle) or like Keanu Reeves' name but with an o at the end? That's something I've been wondering haha

It's always sad to see a player like that go but obviously he didn't get enough playing time because of the dominance of James Wilson! I haven't read your latest update so i've got to do that now as well!

Hellas Verona

October 2015

Europa League
Hellas Verona 0 - 0 Bröndby

After a bad performance against Sion in the first game of the Europa League group stage Hellas Verona were looking for a convincing win against a team that was meant to be worse than Verona. This wasn't the case as Bröndby dominated the game and they had six shots more than the Italians. Only the keeper Khune kept his side in the game and the final whistle was hard to hear because of all the whistling. This poor result was just the beginning...

Hellas Verona 1 - 0 Sampdoria
Bernardeschi 34'

Pescara 0 - 0 Hellas Verona

Hellas Verona 2 - 1 Torino
Wickham 65', Milik 79'
Benassi 53'

Europa League
Olympique Lyon 1 - 1 Hellas Verona
Fofana 34', Dybala 67'

This was the biggest game of the group and the two games between these two teams were meant to be the only important games of the group. Lyon were first in the group with six points and Verona were in second with four points after their disappointing goalless draw against Bröndby. The home side took the lead half an hour into the game after the ball was played across goal to Fofana who tapped the ball into the net. Five minutes later Verona's Zlatko Junuzovic got a red card for a mistimed tackle which didn't help the Gialloblu's situation. Luckily Paulo Dybala was played through after the hour mark which lead to him scoring and securing a point from the game.

Fiorentina 0 - 2 Hellas Verona
Valoti 83', Brandt 90'

Hellas Verona found their good form against a strong opposition and they managed to come out on top. Only three minutes into the game the referee made a controversial decision. Verona's Alessandro Florenzi ran into the box and he got tackled. The referee let the game go on but the replays showed that the defender didn't get the ball. The manager Simeone Corleone had another psycho attack but he managed to calm himself down before getting sent off. In the last twenty minutes Fiorentina parked the bus but Mattia Valoti managed to dribble past the defenders and slot the ball into the bottom left corner. In stoppage time Julian Brandt cut in from the left flank and shot the ball into the top right corner to secure the win.

Hellas Verona 2 - 1 Atalanta
Longo 30', Moras 68'
Mangni 20'

Palermo 0 - 3 Hellas Verona
Junuzovic 27', Dybala 61', Florenzi 90'

Player of the Month

Itumeleng Khune

Pretty much every player of the team didn't have the greatest of months. At the beginning of the month Verona scored only one goal in three games against not the greatest of teams but they didn't concede any in those games. The team kept five clean sheets in the month and Itumeleng Khune is the man who can be thanked for that. He pulled a couple very important and great saves to secure the points for his team.

18. Genoa, 6 pts
19. Bologna, 5 pts
20. Pescara, 4 pts

Press Conference

You didn't have the best of months in October. How did it go in your opinion?

We can split the month in two parts. The first one ends in the final whistle of the Lyon game and the second one starts from there. The first half of the month witnessed our worst playing ever. We weren't able to do anything and nothing worked. The second half of the month was really good and we conceded only one goal in three games and we beat Fiorentina away from home. Hopefully we can continue that form.

You're still first in the league.

Yes, and we are unbeaten. I'm very glad about that but I feel like we are overachieving. If we win the league then everyone will expect us to do so every season which wouldn't be good for our young players.

What happened in the first minutes of the Fiorentina game when you got angry again?

The ball was passed to Ales (Florenzi) on the right wing and he got in the box. He took on Fiorentina's defender and got past him. At that moment the defender slid in and took down Alessandro. The referee just let the game go on even though even I saw that the defender didn't get the ball. The replays then confirmed that the referee had made a mistake but he didn't admit it. I just asked the fourth official if there was anything he could do.

Manchester United revealed that they have offered you a management role at the club. Will you accept it?

I must be completely honest. I don't know what I will do. Manchester United are the second biggest club in the whole world after Real Madrid and it's a real honour to be asked to manage a club like that. I'm extremely tempted to accept the job and take Man United back where they belong but I know Hellas Verona need me and without me they wouldn't be this successful in the league and they wouldn't be in the Europa League. I need more time to think about it.

My question to you this time is would you like me to accept the ManU job offer. Like my alter ego said in the press conference I'm very tempted to accept the job offer and the fact that I'm reading Sir Alex Ferguson's book at the moment doesn't make it any easier.

Thank you for reading this post! I hope you have enjoyed it! Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated!

About the first transfer window... I always used to have it on so I could change my team and begin to make it feel like my own but the Career that i'm posting at the moment is the first time i've actually had it off and i think it's much better! You get to understand your team and build a relationship with them while knowing 100% who you want to leave and what positions you need to improve.

So i prefer the first transfer window to be off.

EDIT: Just noticed that you already made your decision, oops!

Well I was reading his book when I signed up here and I needed a name and it popped into my head haha! He was also one of Ireland's best players and he achieved a lot in his career so I do like him too.

Ok I'll probably leave the window on but not make loads of changes. Just mainly for depth and such.

Hmmm it seems awfully strange that your update was posted fairly soon after this reply. Liar!

Verona's Alessandro Florenzi ran into the box and he got tackled. The referee let the game go on but the replays showed that the defender didn't get the ball. The manager Simeone Corleone had another psycho attack but he managed to calm himself down before getting sent off. In the last twenty minutes Fiorentina parked the bus but Mattia Valoti managed to dribble past the defenders and slot the ball into the bottom left corner. In stoppage time Julian Brandt cut in from the left flank and shot the ball into the top right corner to secure the win.

Hellas Verona 2 - 1 Atalanta

Player of the Month

Itumeleng Khune

Pretty much every player of the team didn't have the greatest of months. At the beginning of the month Verona scored only one goal in three games against not the greatest of teams but they didn't concede any in those games. The team kept five clean sheets in the month and Itumeleng Khune is the man who can be thanked for that. He pulled a couple very important and great saves to secure the points for his team.

Press Conference

You didn't have the best of months in October. How did it go in your opinion?

We can split the month in two parts. The first one ends in the final whistle of the Lyon game and the second one starts from there. The first half of the month witnessed our worst playing ever. We weren't able to do anything and nothing worked. The second half of the month was really good and we conceded only one goal in three games and we beat Fiorentina away from home. Hopefully we can continue that form.

You're still first in the league.

Yes, and we are unbeaten. I'm very glad about that but I feel like we are overachieving. If we win the league then everyone will expect us to do so every season which wouldn't be good for our young players.

What happened in the first minutes of the Fiorentina game when you got angry again?

The ball was passed to Ales (Florenzi) on the right wing and he got in the box. He took on Fiorentina's defender and got past him. At that moment the defender slid in and took down Alessandro. The referee just let the game go on even though even I saw that the defender didn't get the ball. The replays then confirmed that the referee had made a mistake but he didn't admit it. I just asked the fourth official if there was anything he could do.

Manchester United revealed that they have offered you a management role at the club. Will you accept it?

I must be completely honest. I don't know what I will do. Manchester United are the second biggest club in the whole world after Real Madrid and it's a real honour to be asked to manage a club like that. I'm extremely tempted to accept the job and take Man United back where they belong but I know Hellas Verona need me and without me they wouldn't be this successful in the league and they wouldn't be in the Europa League. I need more time to think about it.

My question to you this time is would you like me to accept the ManU job offer. Like my alter ego said in the press conference I'm very tempted to accept the job offer and the fact that I'm reading Sir Alex Ferguson's book at the moment doesn't make it any easier.

Thank you for reading this post! I hope you have enjoyed it! Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated!

Tough start to the month with that draw at Brondby but results picked up towards the end. And you are still top which is what matters! In regards to the United job, I'd like to see you stay with Hellas and achieve great things. Though I don't really mind reading a United CM either. It's up to you!

About the first transfer window... I always used to have it on so I could change my team and begin to make it feel like my own but the Career that i'm posting at the moment is the first time i've actually had it off and i think it's much better! You get to understand your team and build a relationship with them while knowing 100% who you want to leave and what positions you need to improve.

So i prefer the first transfer window to be off.

EDIT: Just noticed that you already made your decision, oops!

I think I'm going to leave it on so that I can get some depth in. For example I think I'll need another RB as Rangel is aging and Richards is good but I'd prefer him as a backup. Thanks for your input though.

Ok I'll probably leave the window on but not make loads of changes. Just mainly for depth and such.

Hmmm it seems awfully strange that your update was posted fairly soon after this reply. Liar!

I'm leaning towards leaving it on alright.
