Gazélec Football Club Ajaccio
FIFA 15 – Season 1
14/15 Season

Le Gaz

November

Ligue 2

GFC Ajaccio 4 – Stade Brest 3

GFC – Poggi 12’ Pujol 32’, (PEN) 49’ Libbra 59’

STA – Cuvillier 11’ Ramaré 20’ Falette (R) 49’ Adnane 58’

Julien François blocks Gaëtan Laborde’s shot but the ball rolls out to Alexandre Cuvillier who opens his body up to place the ball into the far left corner from outside the box. One minute later, Grégory Pujol wins a free-kick from around twenty-eight yards out. Louis Poggi swings the ball up and over the wall and past the reach of the keeper for the equaliser that only took thirty seconds to get! In the twentieth minute, Youssef Adnane cuts the ball back in the box for Johann Rameré to take a big run up before smashing the ball into Amos Youga but despite the massive deflection, the ball agonisingly crosses the line to put the third place team into the lead. Kévin Mayi sprints down the left before sending a perfectly low ball into the box for Pujol to tap it past the keeper for the equaliser. Four minutes after the restart and Pujol receives the ball in the box before being crunched into by Simon Falette. It’s amazing that Pujol isn’t hurt and the Brest defender rightfully sees red. Pujol takes the penalty where he puts it into the top left corner to send the keeper the wrong way for the lead. The scoreline changes less than ten minutes later to three-three as a series of bad challenges allows Youssef Adnane to slip the ball past Jules Goda for the equaliser. To mark a frantic game, Gazélec make it four-three as Grégory Pujol passes to Lucas Libbra who can volley it into the back of the net with the keeper in no man’s land. Gazélec have managed an eight game winning streak!

MOTM: Grégory Pujol (7.6, GFC)

Ligue 2

FC Sochaux 2 – GFC Ajaccio 1

FCS – Rafaël Dias 35’ Contout 68’

GFC – Pelé (OG) 61’

Julien François jumps into an unsuccessful challenge and leaves a gap in the defence for Rafaël Dias to receive the ball from a pass across goal and poke it past Maury for the opening goal of the game. In the fifty-fifth minute, Sochaux’s winger, Roy Contout bends his shot onto the crossbar to hand a lifeline to Gazélec. After only coming on six minutes before, Grégory Pujol steals the ball off the last defender and breaks forward. He’s getting pulled back but he manages to prod the ball towards the keeper, Yohann Pelé. Pujol’s shot is initially going wide but the trailing leg of the keeper knocks it on target which results in an own goal. Pelé crashes into Pujol who has to be given urgent attention and is not even capable of a celebration. Some close quarters passing in the box allows Sochaux to get some space with Stoppila Sunzu whose shot is deflected by his own player, Roy Contout. The ball drops down and with no one marking him; Contout spins and guides the ball into the far corner to make it two-one.

MOTM: Julien Faussurier (7.0, FCS)

Injury News:

Grégory Pujol has suffered a Sprained Ankle and will be out for 3 weeks.

Ligue 2

GFC Ajaccio 3 – AS Nancy 3

ASN – Cétout 10’, 81’ Hadji 46’ Muratori (R) 64’

GFC – François (R) 52’ Libbra 56’ Ducourtioux 64’ Mayi 90’

Some tactical changes from Bee look great offensively but they’ve conceded early as the ball is squared to Julien Cétout on the edge of the box. He makes an out of this world turn to fool Rodéric Filippi and all he has to do is place the ball into the bottom corner. Arnaud Lusamba plays a ball through the defence from his own half to allow Youssouf Hadji to make his way to the edge of the penalty area before hitting it across the keeper and into the far corner to make it two-one only one minute after the break. Amos Youga finds himself in the box and a cross forces him to slide in to take the chance; the effort goes just wide but he stays on the ground and he’s ordered of the pitch by the medical team. A formation change means that Youga comes off for Yoann Andreu. And if going two down wasn’t enough, a clumsy tackle by the already-booked Julien François takes Gazélec down to ten men with just under forty minutes to go! Only four minutes later, a corner from the right is taken by Louis Poggi who whips the ball into the near post where Lucas Libbra can head it past the keeper. Could this be a monumental comeback by the severely weakened team from Ajaccio? It might well be, because in the sixty-forth minute, a ball over the top is intercepted by Vincent Muratori but Cyriaque Rivieyran manages to dispossess him. Muratori falls to the floor under the pressure but then sticks a leg out to stop the play. Because the Nancy left-back already had a booking, he’s sent to the dressing room to make it a ten versus ten game. The resulting free-kick is whipped in by Rivieyran. The ball drops to David Ducourtioux who heads the ball so that it goes across the keeper and it slots into the bottom corner for the equaliser! The home fans go wild and Bee wipes his brow with a nervous look on his face. Somehow Ducourtioux made the ball curl into the bottom corner with a header! A shot by Romain Grange smashes the cross bar but the rebound falls straight to Julien Cétout who just nods it into the bottom corner. To add to the drama, Bee sends his team up field to press for the equaliser. Louis Poggi sprints down the left wing in the last minute of regular time. He dummies a cross and cuts inside where he knocks the ball across goal. The ball is an inch away from the head of John Tshibumbu and it then bounces up to Mayi who hits it on the volley. The keeper’s footwork lets him down and he’s caught off balance as he attempts to get his finger tips to it but it’s just out of reach and Gazélec have another equaliser!

MOTM: Louis Poggi (9.3, GFC)

Injury News:

Amos Youga has suffered a Bruised Shoulder and will be out for 9 days.

Ligue 2

Valenciennes FC 3 – GFC Ajaccio 0

VAL – Le Tallec 33’, 90’ Nguette 36’

The first goal appears in the thirty-third minute where Anthony Le Tallec can find some space due to a poor challenge by Filippi allows him to smash it into the roof of the net. Three minutes later, Opa Nguette breaks free on the counter attack before beating Maury at his near post for a second! In the seventy-second minute, Mayi manages to find some space and crosses into the box where the unmarked M’Madi cannot head the ball into the open goal. That could have been the chance that will come back to haunt them... In the end, Valenciennes have obliterated GFC Ajaccio and Le Tallec proves this after being slotted in through on goal and neatly finishing past a half-hearted Maury dive.

MOTM: Anthony Le Tallec (9.6, VAL)

Gazélec Ajaccio’s Player of the Month

Louis Poggi

(2 Goals and 4 Assists in 17 Games)

MOTM’s this Month = 1

No one has really stood out this month except maybe for Grégory Pujol but he only managed a game and a couple of minutes before getting his third injury of the season. Louis Poggi has done the most this month and has definitely rose above the rest in this poor form. This month has made me realise that I cannot even count on M’Madi (who didn’t score or assist this month) to perform every month but I can trust Poggi to deliver.

Managers Thoughts:

This month wasn’t what we were expecting after an eight game unbeaten streak in the league. Ali M’Madi stepped into the shadows and let Grégory Pujol take the limelight but his injury was not much of a surprise. After the injury to our inform striker, no one stepped up to the plate which then left us with five different goalscorers this month. I’m not sure what the problem is and to be honest, I have no idea how to fix it. The January transfer window is coming up and that’s really what we need now that the team is starting to get a little fatigued. I already have some targets but we hardly have any money so I might have to plead for a little more and sell a few players to get what we need.

We’ve managed to stay in the top three for this month and hopefully we can stay there (or even improve) until the transfer window so that I can make some much-needed changes.

Jonathan Kodjia’s lead over M’Madi is increasing and the golden boot already looks like it will be handed to him and also the league title if things keep going the way they’re going. We should be able to pick up the pace in a couple of months and be in those promotion spots.

Our in Form Players: Louis Poggi have proven his reliability and has been displaying some signs of greatness in the past couple of games. David Ducourtioux has been a solid anchor for us and he’s been doing a lot even though the scorelines suggest that he hasn’t; it’s the people behind him who haven’t been performing. It was a shame that Pujol keeps getting so many injuries! He could easily be level with M’Madi if he was fit for at least a string of games! He’ll be ready to play next month so I hope he gets on the score sheet and shakes off his injury troubles.

Our out of Form Players: Rodéric Filippi and Julien François have been in extremely poor form for us at the back lately. I understand that François’ preferred position is elsewhere but Amos Youga has managed to perform well and he’s playing out of position too! Our goalkeepers, Clément Maury and Jules Goda have both been in poor form. Each of them have been sluggish and have only made one or two good saves in this whole month. I never thought I would say this but Ali M’Madi has been a passenger this month. He’s made some great runs but his finishing has disappeared and now, he can only muster an off-balance shot straight at the keeper! Let’s hope they all start performing next month.

Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Obviously an X-Box is replaceable but sentimental things, I can only empathise. I don't know how I'd feel if that happened. Do you have any idea if you can get it back? Do you think it was a mistake or stolen?

Aww f**k man!!! That is extremely terrible. Is there still any chance the boxes will show up?? I'd be torn about losing the photo albums. Especially if they're old pictures back when you couldn't upload them to a computer and back them up. I hope somebody else has a copy of those photos! This sucks man. Damn Commies! Sorry I meant to say Soviets... Wait no I meant Russians! Same thing I guess? ('Murica)

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Just a heads up, I should be posting an Osasuna update either today or tomorrow and it is another long one. The Copa Del Rey added more matches to the month, and there is a lot to talk about. Also, since I hardly make any signings I've decided that when I do, I will inquire first and pay the price stated. In the first couple seasons of the career I really have to watch my spending and I try to get the best deal I can, especially back when I was in League 2 with Wimbledon, but at this point I'm getting prize monies from tournaments and I have nothing to spend it on. So, going forward I will pay the dealer's price, and if I'm feeling generous I might add some more just for the hell of it. Hopefully the extra cash will help the CPU make some competitive signings which in turn would boost my CM experience even more.

This decision was inspired by the transfer rules Cruzerr, Tex, and others have implemented on themselves in their respective careers.

You gotta give them credit though for showing such great Sportsmanship after a good match like that.

Indiblue so sorry here about the sentimental items. I really hope that they will be able to locate the boxes. Pictures mean a lot they help us keep the memories.

Valencia CF

May 2015

Valencia CF 1 - 1 SD Eibar
Otamendi 90'
Garcia 30'

Bottom-side teams causing us problems? Nothing new there. Once again we conceded first, this time from a header, to find ourselves chasing the game for an hour. Xabi Irureta did a very good job in Eibar's goal and it took until the last minutes of the game for us to equalise. Dani Parejo whipped in a corner and Nicolas Otamendi headed it into the back of the net off a deflection. A point against Eibar is bad but it could've been worse.

Real Madrid 0 - 0 Valencia CF

Three draws from four games against the two best Spanish teams and one of the best teams in the whole world is a good tally. There weren't many chances in this match but we could've won it if Sofiane Feghouli had tapped the ball into the net in the 14th minute. Instead our pacy winger hit it over the bar.

Valencia CF 2 - 0 Celta Vigo
Feghouli 14', Bacca 59'

A good win against a Celta Vigo side that tends to giant-kill. Sofiane Feghouli put is into the lead in the 14th minute with a nice shot into the top left corner. Fifteen minutes into the second half Carlos Bacca got also onto the scoresheet to secure the three points.

UD Almeria 0 - 4 Valencia CF
Feghouli 15', 30', Parejo 68', Bacca 90'

Going into this game we needed a win to secure the league title. Anything less than that would've meant that Real Madrid would be the champions. Luckily this time we didn't suffer from our bottom team syndrome and we were able to win our first league title since 2004! Sofiane Feghouli's brace was enough to secure the title and the captain Parejo and Carlos Bacca got one each, as well. We are the champions! Also, the game didn't give me a celebration screen.

Valencia Have Won the Spanish Double!

I am however midway through the second season so unless I get offered another job that I decide to accept, I'll still be there next season to start writing down my seasons from a managers point of view, anyway if or when I do so, any feedback would be appreciate so I could get it up to a standard that you guys will enjoy

Welcome, it's nice that this thread is growing slowly but surely! Hopefully you enjoy it here!

Regarding your Borussia career, go for it! I'm sure that everyone would like to see it.

If you want to "get it up to a standard", you'll just need some time to find out what writing style works the best for you and what style you enjoy the most. If you want to post these longer updates that pretty much everyone is doing I'd suggest writing the title of the post in a bigger and bold font, separating different things well enough and writing scores in bold. Some nice images are also enjoyable.

To get back to the writing style, I'd suggest trying different styles out to find what suits you. Bigger updates, smaller ones, a certain point of view etc. are all important details that will define your updates and writing style. Use them according to your strengths.

Again, welcome to the thread!

Krasnodar went down to 10 men in the 65th minute when Yuriy Gazinskiy picked up his second yellow card for a rash challenge. Rubin would add two late goals against the under-manned Krasnodar as the first came in the 87th minute from a Carlos Eduardo penalty. Just two minutes later, Ozdoev would head home another Karadeniz delivery as Rubin picked up an impressive victory against a respectable side.

Assanti 49'
Dević 56'
Georgiev 85'

In their second game of the season, Rubin Kazan would travel to the Akhmat Arena to face Terek Grozny. The 1st half between The Chechens and Tatars was relatively uneventful, with Terek goalkeeper Evgeniy Gorodov making two saves on Marko Dević and Carlos Eduardo, while Rubin goalkeeper Sergey Ryzhikov was not tested. Just after halftime however, Terek would go ahead as Ismet Assanti beat Ryzhikov with a shot into the right corner of the net. Rubin leveled very quickly in the 56th minute when Dević bested Gorodov high to make the score 1-1. The game looked headed for a draw, but late in the contest Carlos Eduardo dribbled through the Terek defense and found Blagoy Georgiev all alone at the top of the box. The Bulgarian midfielder received a pass and blasted a shot by Gorodov in the 85th minute to pull out a hard-earned victory for Rubin.

Sobolev 19'
Mogilevets 67'
Kanunnikov 82'

Against newly promoted side Mordovia Saransk, Rubin Kazan manager Rinat Bilyaletdinov would play his B-Team, but The Tatars still got the desired result. Scoring opened in the 19th minute when Kamil Mullin sent a volley onto goal that Mordovia goalkeeper Anton Kochenkov parried. The ball went straight to Vladimir Sobolev who tapped in the shot to put Rubin up 1-0. Mordovia should have equalized in the 37th minute, but a Rustem Mukhametshin volley missed a gaping net. Pavel Mogilevets would double Rubin's lead in the 67th minute before Magmoed Ozdoev hit the crossbar in the 72nd minute. Rubin would get a final goal in the 82nd minute from Maxim Kanunnikov who stole the ball off the foot of Kochenkov and potted a shot into the open net. Rubin reserve goalkeeper Alexandr Filtsov picked up a clean sheet with 3 saves.

Manager's Thoughts
What a great month to open the season. We did not play the best competition, but we outscored our opponents by a score of 9-1. Currently we only trail Lokomotiv Moskva who has outscored their opponents 10-0. We really dominated a good FC Krasnodar side, although they were not helped by picking up a red card. The game against Terek Grozny was tough, but we got a late winner that I felt was deserved. Our B-Team handled business against newly promoted Mordovia Saransk, so that was reassuring. We are also getting hefty contributions from our domestic players as 6 of our 9 goals came from Russians, including 3 from Maxim Kanunnikov who had a fantastic month. Hopefully, we can continue to ride this spell of good form.

New Starting XI
Before the season opener against FC Krasnodar, Rubin Kazan manager Rinat Bilyaletdinov shuffled his Starting XI. Magomed Ozdoev was moved from central attacking midfielder to central defensive midfielder and Carlos Eduardo was slotted in at CAM. Taras Burlak was also placed in a starting role at center back. Pavel Mogilevets and Solomon Kvirkvelia were moved to the bench.

International Duty
Rubin Kazan had one call up for international duty this month as Blagoy Georgiev was called to represent Bulgaria. The 32-year-old defensive midfielder first represented his country in 2004. Georgiev recently scored the game-winning goal in a 2-1 win over Terek Grozny. Rubin Kazan congratulates Blagoy on his achievement.

Injury Woes
Rubin Kazan was hit with two injuries this month. The first came to 21-year-old midfielder Alisher Dzhalilov who suffered a broken toe in a friendly match against AFC Wimbledon. The young Russian will miss 3 months as he recovers. Next, 27-year-old Belarusian midfielder Sergey Kislyak sprained his knee against Mordovia Saransk. Kislyak will be out 3 weeks.

Mogilevets' Loan Ends
Pavel Mogilevets' loan spell with Rubin Kazan has come to an end, and the 21-year-old Russian midfielder will return to Zenit St. Petersburg. Mogilevets featured in one match for Rubin, scoring a goal and earning Man of the Match against Mordovia Saransk. Rubin will try to secure Mogilevets on loan again from Zenit.

September 2014 Fixtures
9/13 - at Ufa
9/20 - vs Kuban
9/24 - Russian Cup: at Krasnodar
9/27 - at Arsenal

We still have yet to hit the tough portion of our schedule. FC Ufa and Arsenal Tula are both newly promoted sides, so I expect to take maximum points from both matches. We meet FC Krasnodar again in the Russian Cup Round of 16. After beating Krasnodar 4-0 in Kazan, I am confident we can advance to the quarterfinals and please the board's demands. Our game against 4th place Kuban Krasnodar will be our hardest test, but with the game in Kazan Arena, I think we get the job done.

That was almost a perfect month! Nine goals scored and just one conceded is great! Hopefully you manage to keep up this kind of form for the entire season. You haven't faced that tough teams yet but you've still done a good job. You should be able to progress in the cup.

GFC – Poggi 12’ Pujol 32’, (PEN) 49’ Libbra 59’

STA – Cuvillier 11’ Ramaré 20’ Falette (R) 49’ Adnane 58’

Julien François blocks Gaëtan Laborde’s shot but the ball rolls out to Alexandre Cuvillier who opens his body up to place the ball into the far left corner from outside the box. One minute later, Grégory Pujol wins a free-kick from around twenty-eight yards out. Louis Poggi swings the ball up and over the wall and past the reach of the keeper for the equaliser that only took thirty seconds to get! In the twentieth minute, Youssef Adnane cuts the ball back in the box for Johann Rameré to take a big run up before smashing the ball into Amos Youga but despite the massive deflection, the ball agonisingly crosses the line to put the third place team into the lead. Kévin Mayi sprints down the left before sending a perfectly low ball into the box for Pujol to tap it past the keeper for the equaliser. Four minutes after the restart and Pujol receives the ball in the box before being crunched into by Simon Falette. It’s amazing that Pujol isn’t hurt and the Brest defender rightfully sees red. Pujol takes the penalty where he puts it into the top left corner to send the keeper the wrong way for the lead. The scoreline changes less than ten minutes later to three-three as a series of bad challenges allows Youssef Adnane to slip the ball past Jules Goda for the equaliser. To mark a frantic game, Gazélec make it four-three as Grégory Pujol passes to Lucas Libbra who can volley it into the back of the net with the keeper in no man’s land. Gazélec have managed an eight game winning streak!

Ligue 2

FC Sochaux 2 – GFC Ajaccio 1

FCS – Rafaël Dias 35’ Contout 68’

GFC – Pelé (OG) 61’

Julien François jumps into an unsuccessful challenge and leaves a gap in the defence for Rafaël Dias to receive the ball from a pass across goal and poke it past Maury for the opening goal of the game. In the fifty-fifth minute, Sochaux’s winger, Roy Contout bends his shot onto the crossbar to hand a lifeline to Gazélec. After only coming on six minutes before, Grégory Pujol steals the ball off the last defender and breaks forward. He’s getting pulled back but he manages to prod the ball towards the keeper, Yohann Pelé. Pujol’s shot is initially going wide but the trailing leg of the keeper knocks it on target which results in an own goal. Pelé crashes into Pujol who has to be given urgent attention and is not even capable of a celebration. Some close quarters passing in the box allows Sochaux to get some space with Stoppila Sunzu whose shot is deflected by his own player, Roy Contout. The ball drops down and with no one marking him; Contout spins and guides the ball into the far corner to make it two-one.

GFC Ajaccio 3 – AS Nancy 3

ASN – Cétout 10’, 81’ Hadji 46’ Muratori (R) 64’

GFC – François (R) 52’ Libbra 56’ Ducourtioux 64’ Mayi 90’

Some tactical changes from Bee look great offensively but they’ve conceded early as the ball is squared to Julien Cétout on the edge of the box. He makes an out of this world turn to fool Rodéric Filippi and all he has to do is place the ball into the bottom corner. Arnaud Lusamba plays a ball through the defence from his own half to allow Youssouf Hadji to make his way to the edge of the penalty area before hitting it across the keeper and into the far corner to make it two-one only one minute after the break. Amos Youga finds himself in the box and a cross forces him to slide in to take the chance; the effort goes just wide but he stays on the ground and he’s ordered of the pitch by the medical team. A formation change means that Youga comes off for Yoann Andreu. And if going two down wasn’t enough, a clumsy tackle by the already-booked Julien François takes Gazélec down to ten men with just under forty minutes to go! Only four minutes later, a corner from the right is taken by Louis Poggi who whips the ball into the near post where Lucas Libbra can head it past the keeper. Could this be a monumental comeback by the severely weakened team from Ajaccio? It might well be, because in the sixty-forth minute, a ball over the top is intercepted by Vincent Muratori but Cyriaque Rivieyran manages to dispossess him. Muratori falls to the floor under the pressure but then sticks a leg out to stop the play. Because the Nancy left-back already had a booking, he’s sent to the dressing room to make it a ten versus ten game. The resulting free-kick is whipped in by Rivieyran. The ball drops to David Ducourtioux who heads the ball so that it goes across the keeper and it slots into the bottom corner for the equaliser! The home fans go wild and Bee wipes his brow with a nervous look on his face. Somehow Ducourtioux made the ball curl into the bottom corner with a header! A shot by Romain Grange smashes the cross bar but the rebound falls straight to Julien Cétout who just nods it into the bottom corner. To add to the drama, Bee sends his team up field to press for the equaliser. Louis Poggi sprints down the left wing in the last minute of regular time. He dummies a cross and cuts inside where he knocks the ball across goal. The ball is an inch away from the head of John Tshibumbu and it then bounces up to Mayi who hits it on the volley. The keeper’s footwork lets him down and he’s caught off balance as he attempts to get his finger tips to it but it’s just out of reach and Gazélec have another equaliser!

MOTM: Louis Poggi (9.3, GFC)

Amos Youga has suffered a Bruised Shoulder and will be out for 9 days.

Ligue 2

Valenciennes FC 3 – GFC Ajaccio 0

VAL – Le Tallec 33’, 90’ Nguette 36’

The first goal appears in the thirty-third minute where Anthony Le Tallec can find some space due to a poor challenge by Filippi allows him to smash it into the roof of the net. Three minutes later, Opa Nguette breaks free on the counter attack before beating Maury at his near post for a second! In the seventy-second minute, Mayi manages to find some space and crosses into the box where the unmarked M’Madi cannot head the ball into the open goal. That could have been the chance that will come back to haunt them... In the end, Valenciennes have obliterated GFC Ajaccio and Le Tallec proves this after being slotted in through on goal and neatly finishing past a half-hearted Maury dive.

MOTM: Anthony Le Tallec (9.6, VAL)

Gazélec Ajaccio’s Player of the Month

Louis Poggi

(2 Goals and 4 Assists in 17 Games)

MOTM’s this Month = 1

No one has really stood out this month except maybe for Grégory Pujol but he only managed a game and a couple of minutes before getting his third injury of the season. Louis Poggi has done the most this month and has definitely rose above the rest in this poor form. This month has made me realise that I cannot even count on M’Madi (who didn’t score or assist this month) to perform every month but I can trust Poggi to deliver.

Managers Thoughts:

This month wasn’t what we were expecting after an eight game unbeaten streak in the league. Ali M’Madi stepped into the shadows and let Grégory Pujol take the limelight but his injury was not much of a surprise. After the injury to our inform striker, no one stepped up to the plate which then left us with five different goalscorers this month. I’m not sure what the problem is and to be honest, I have no idea how to fix it. The January transfer window is coming up and that’s really what we need now that the team is starting to get a little fatigued. I already have some targets but we hardly have any money so I might have to plead for a little more and sell a few players to get what we need.

We’ve managed to stay in the top three for this month and hopefully we can stay there (or even improve) until the transfer window so that I can make some much-needed changes.

Jonathan Kodjia’s lead over M’Madi is increasing and the golden boot already looks like it will be handed to him and also the league title if things keep going the way they’re going. We should be able to pick up the pace in a couple of months and be in those promotion spots.

Our in Form Players: Louis Poggi have proven his reliability and has been displaying some signs of greatness in the past couple of games. David Ducourtioux has been a solid anchor for us and he’s been doing a lot even though the scorelines suggest that he hasn’t; it’s the people behind him who haven’t been performing. It was a shame that Pujol keeps getting so many injuries! He could easily be level with M’Madi if he was fit for at least a string of games! He’ll be ready to play next month so I hope he gets on the score sheet and shakes off his injury troubles.

Our out of Form Players: Rodéric Filippi and Julien François have been in extremely poor form for us at the back lately. I understand that François’ preferred position is elsewhere but Amos Youga has managed to perform well and he’s playing out of position too! Our goalkeepers, Clément Maury and Jules Goda have both been in poor form. Each of them have been sluggish and have only made one or two good saves in this whole month. I never thought I would say this but Ali M’Madi has been a passenger this month. He’s made some great runs but his finishing has disappeared and now, he can only muster an off-balance shot straight at the keeper! Let’s hope they all start performing next month.

Career Record (W: D :L): 12-4-4

Thanks for reading my latest update! I’m always happy to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have!

A slight drop of form there, especially in your defence. I counted eleven conceded goals in those games, that's very much. You're having some bad luck with injuries but at least you're in an amazing position in the league with some point difference between you and Auxerre.

Lots of draws but like you said it's still an unbeaten month. You also did a good job in the cup and against Portsmouth in the league. The league table is still very tight.

Regarding your Borussia career, go for it! I'm sure that everyone would like to see it.

If you want to "get it up to a standard", you'll just need some time to find out what writing style works the best for you and what style you enjoy the most. If you want to post these longer updates that pretty much everyone is doing I'd suggest writing the title of the post in a bigger and bold font, separating different things well enough and writing scores in bold. Some nice images are also enjoyable.

To get back to the writing style, I'd suggest trying different styles out to find what suits you. Bigger updates, smaller ones, a certain point of view etc. are all important details that will define your updates and writing style. Use them according to your strengths.

Again, welcome to the thread!

Cheers for that, I'll take your advice and try to find a style that suits me instead of one that only suits everyone, thanks for responding

Welcome. Go for it. I'm doing one at the minute with 2 of the other users in a competition, so I'd love to see how you do it without the limitations and constraints I have.
