EXETER CITY HIRE TONGE AS MANAGER

I thought I'd give Exeter City a go, and try and take them all the way up to the Premier League in as few a seasons as possible, and then aim to get them into Europe and just build them up bit by bit.

I'll be posting every couple of months (game time) with updates, and hopefully you will enjoy this.

Here are my first seasons winter transfers after managing to get Southampton as my parent club.
I got these two youngsters on loan to provide competition for first team places.

Started off a little bit shaky, but with new additions in the squad it was just about team building and getting used to my tactics that I had brought into the team. I was pleased with the last 3 results which provided momentum into the start of the season.[/center]

Just finished August and I'm really happy with the start I have had. A relatively short run in the Capital One Cup but I really wasn't expected to win against Aston Villa and I put in a good fight against a strong team.

League:

Bristol Rovers: (H) : 4-1 - A great start against what is a strong team in this league. Glad to have scored a lot of goals which will give the team confidence in their next few games. Shame to have conceded but we dominated throughout. A few goals for my left back Craig Woodman was a great little bag for him.

Mansfield: (A) : 0-3 - Another great result in the league, kept our first clean sheet of the season and another goal for Parkin who I'm hoping will get the majority of my goals this season. Baldwin keeps popping up with his share from corners.

AFC Wimbledon: (H): 0-0 - A bore draw here, could have gone either way to be honest, just no one took their chances, but a point is fine with me at this stage of the season.

Morecambe: (A): 0-3 - Great result against a mid table kind of team, who could surprise anyone on their day. Tom Parkin popped up again with two goals and the youngster Joe Curtis has settled down and scored a screamer for me to top off the the performance.

Capital One Cup:

MK Dons: (A) 1-4 - A great victory here against a team one league above us, once again proving we have the fire power up top. I swapped a few of the reserve and subs into the team to give them a bit of football.

Aston Villa: (A) 2-0 - I didn't expect to win this game, and we put a good performance in, shame we couldn't grab a goal but I am happy with that against a strong Premier League team.

SEPTEMBER

Another great month as I carry on my good form in the league and enter the Johnstone Paint Trophy South. My new loanee players are coming into a bit of form with Joe Curtis especially showing a lot of promise. Another excellent player out of the Southampton youth system.

League:

Dagenham & Redbridge: (A): 0-2 - A great win to start the month with messers Baldwin and Curtis popping up with the goals once again. We look a real threat off set pieces with Baldwin scoring most of them.

Northampton Town: (A): 1-2 - Another win, but scraped through this one and luckily got an 89th minute winner from youngster John O'Flynn. Glad to have gained the 3 points here though.

Newport County: (H): 1-0 - An absolute screamer once again from the youngster Joe Curtis from about 40 yards. Deserved to be the goal that won us the game, and one that would certainly have impressed the home crowd.

Fleetwood Town: (A) 1-2 - A match that I thought would be a hard ask for us as they are usually a strong team, but we managed to win the game with relative ease. My two strikers Parkin and Nichols popping up with the goals for the Grecians.

These fixtures have left us joint top after 8 games of the season. Very impressed with my start and especially the impact of the loanees I have brought in. Hopefully we can kick on now and keep the momentum up and move away from Cheltenham in second place.

Johnstone Paint Trophy Southern

Bristol Rovers: (H): 2-0 - A good win against a team we have already beaten once this season. Another great performance from the lads and Joe Curtis and Tom Nichols scored for us.

This season has led to the following awards happening involving Exeter City: Joe Curtis seemed to be all over the place

OCTOBER

A month that didn't really go so well for me with mostly losses in the league, but a good progression in the Johnstone Paint Trophy. Also managed to re loan the sensational Joe Curtis for another 3 months and hope he can keep his form going.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tV2lVWylhSXucYhDlLnXg0s8PkmFP77tT8DFqiVM.png

Plymouth Argyle: (H) 3-1: - A great victory here to start the month off, with the beast at the back as I've nicknamed him Baldwin popping up with another goal, and it wouldn't be a game without Curtis scoring again. Impressed with the lads here.

Hartlepool United: (H) 2-3: - A difficult game for us, and they just about edged it. Disappointed to have lost this one but we shall learn from this and hopefully won't lose to them again in the reverse fixture. Nichols scored with a brace, so thats a positive.

Scunthorpe United: (A) 2-1: - Another loss makes it two in the row, which is not what we needed. Didn't really get into the game but managed to get a goal through the other centre back Danny Coles.

Oxford United: (A) 2-0: - A third straight loss for the Grecians, and we never really looked like scoring or getting anything from this game. Very disappointing to say the least.

Burton Albion: (H) 5-1: - Back to winning ways on the return to St James Park. 5 goals is just what we needed, but a shame we couldn't keep a clean sheet. A classy hat trick from Tom Parkin was much well received here.

This left the table looking like this at the end of the month with us in 4th place.

Johnstone Paint Trophy Southern

Torquay United: (A) 0-0p: - A tricky tie against a decent team in our division. Managed to sneak it on penalties after we should have scored plenty in the actual 90 minutes but just couldn't find the net. Onwards into the next round where Coventry await us.
