Here goes my annual Southend game, hopefully it'll last longer than a handful of seasons...

Already played a couple of months and doing ok, board want a respectable finish and as Southend (irl) have gotten progressively worse over the years that seems fair.

Is the beta a lot better now mate? I tried to start a career but didn't really get too engaged with it because of the various problems! Have they fixed things such as too many injuries?

Still getting a few injuries but nothing like before, best to also change the training as its set by default to only rest after a match but not before and that helps a lot with fitness. Not so many goals going in now either and as the full game comes out tonight there's no harm in starting a little early.

Ah that's great to hear! Yeah I guess so, I will probably be starting one tonight doing the same as your other one where you start unemployed, along with a Championship save I think. Good start to this one btw pal

I checked tonight and my local shop definitely has their copies in the back so I'll pick mine up after work tomorrow. I still think I'll keep playing my FM14 game for a bit and wait for the first patch, so cheers guys for finding all of the bugs for me.

Good luck with Southend. As I've got my own League 2-to-Premiership game planned, I'll be following your career with great interest.

Had that little blip but picked up again, have a HUGE game next in the FA Cup. Kidderminster at home for a place in the 3rd round.

Scrapped it 2-1, didn't quite get the big glamour tie i wanted in the 3rd round but a trip to Premiership West Bromich Albion is our reward. We'll lose by 5 or 6 but will put a much needed few quid in the bank.

Hard run in with the four away games, but we're still in touching distance of the Play-Offs so i'm happy.

Third to eleventh is very tight! Hopefully a good burst of form could see you push that automatic spot!

Season has now fallen apart since the Wimbledon game, was leading 1-0 at H/T, then had two goals ruled for what look like nothing to me before conceding two late goals and losing the game. Was flying up until then but now the team are playing terrible and even the play off's look unlikely.

Well here's the final table, finishing 8pts from the play off's in the end which when you look back on where we once was and that bloody game at Wimbledon which if we would have won it we'd have been 3rd its a very poor season. But you can also look at it and see we did also finish where we was expected, but fuck that i'm still pissed off!

Squad will change quite a bit over the Summer as there will be a few leaving, just hope i can replace them with quality now we're staying in League 2.

Unlucky mate. Looking on the plus side, it's a great foundation to really push on next year if you sign some good players.

Well after over 3 hours of searching through players i've finally completed my transfer business. Granted i went a bit Louis Van Gaal and signed the best attacking players i could but goals win you games. Its not in the below pic but i will also be signing another keeper, luckily my current number two is a good prospect also so hopefully the deal wont effect the team too much.
