Sunny Rhyl

Since Rick hasn't finished his bloody Welsh Expansion yet, I took things into my own hands and decided I want to play as Rhyl, so i'll sort out the squad myself. Well here we go, 2012/13, Rhyl FC want to play WPL football.

You will probably get sacked!

Well here we go, season 2012/13 is underway. And i'll drop in my list of ambitions first

Ambitions
Win the Huws Gray Alliance
Re-establish the club in the Welsh Premier League
Play in Europe again
Win the Welsh Premier League
Create a better team than the 2003/04 Quadruple winning team

Well first we'll start by saying I had £9k to spend and I have a title to win. That money was spent to buy these players

The money was spent wisely, I didn't see much that needed strengthening before the season started, so I just added depth in places, mainly in our CM's by buying 2.


My squad for the season (Jack Lewis was one edited by me, supposed to be a striker, I left him as a LB *facepalm*) overall i'd say a decent squad, 6 strikers at my disposal, plenty in midfield so I should be sure to score this season, and I have decent defenders there to hopefully see me safe. The depth I have is a wonder to work with as rotation could be key to my title push. Lets see.

I'll be playing a nice 4-3-2-1 as it's a fantastic tactic for the players to use and it'll suit them well I hope, attacking and defending balance is key.

Lets not dwell on pre-season shall we? As it was shite, 4-2 over FC United and a draw against a Bundesliga side's reserve team, but shite performances to non-league teams. The signings better adapt quick as they're smelling blood.

2 league fixtures this month and I want 6 points or i'll be restarting this entire career, this database is shit and has none of the cups so unlike my shit 6 month career, I have less games to play. Well 2012/13 is around the corner, as is an early start tomorrow (TNS v Rhyl in the Welsh Cup, gonna be madness) let's see this one to the end of time!

Hopefully the transfers pay off and the league form is better than your pre season form!

Cheers Dan, lets hope we can get a solid base in the opening fixtures.

Well we're underway at long last, the title push has begun and I'm hoping for the start that will give us the foundations for a title win and my chance to play in the big time (a cold Wednesday night in January at Bala Town)


Opening day, a top performance, shame I didn't get more than the one goal, but i'm more than happy to keep my first clean sheet of my managerial career, also one of my signings scored for good measure, overall a solid 1-0 win and if we can convert, we could be dangerous.


Buckley was the tough away game you come to expect at the start of the season, players still rusty, chances not quite hitting the target, overall i'd say it was a good point against a tough team in the division and the fact we drew 0-0 is a huge positive for the defence. If we get the attack in check we'll be firing on cylinders.


4 from 6 is a solid start, and not so embarassing I have to remake my database so my players are all 20's. I'll take this now as we're unbeaten, no goals conceded and the foundations in place.


Not much to read into, only 2 points off the top, we can close that gap by the end of the season, it's going to be a huge push to make up the defecit, we're not out of this yet


3 home ties, disappointing that my two away games are against title challengers, Cefn Druids being the Welsh Cup holders have played in the Europa League this season and Caersws are the team we beat in the Huws Gray Cup last season, so i'll take 10 from 15 as a minimum points tally. That should see us on the right path already with two tough away games out of the way

Unbeaten start mate, something to build on!
