FRIENDLIES, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER SUMMARY


FRIENDLIES

We had 9 friendlies:

We won 6 games, drew 2 games and lost 1 games.

It was a good set of friendly games that made me have a good feeling for this upcoming season

It didn't go as well as Friendlies did.

We started off the month with a 3 games losing streak before we finally got our first win against Bolton.

What ensued was a 2 games draw and ending the month with a win in penalties against Exeter.

OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER SUMMARY


OCTOBER

October went great.

We started off on the wrong foot with 2 losses right off the back but bounced back with a 4 games winning streak before losing again on the last day of the month

https://i.gyazo.com/280b295eee8ed4d80da8f03aaa9d7e92.png

Owen Ellis, a loanee from Newcastle won the player of the month after a fantastic month, with other 2 Eastleigh players trailing him. He also won the Young Player of the Month after scoring 6 goals in 6 games

NOVEMBER

November however, went horribly.

Starting off with a loss before winning in a penalty shootout against Southampton U23 and a win against Chesterfield.

A 3 games losing streak ensued to end off the month.

https://i.gyazo.com/cf8ec5066246e178552eb8694a291e7c.png

My phone was ringing this month with job offers. Apparently the word of my success has been spread that from promotion, I'm now in fighting contention for promotion again even though it was expected that we will be relegated.

And despite a horrible month, one of our players won the Goal of the month after banging in a screamer from 35 yards out

DECEMBER

December was short, and it went fine to be honest.

Starting the month with a draw, a 3-2 win against Gillingham before falling to a defeat to Leyton Orient and ending off the month with Bolton

https://i.gyazo.com/3733a3a0f53475fa0472b82f0ed26175.png

During December, I felt like my phone was gonna explode. Every single week I'd get job offers from different clubs and different countries.

It was insane considering how the past few seasons no one even wanted me because of doubts after I got fired from my previous jobs.

And now? It's the complete, everybody wants a piece of me. However, again, I've rejected every single job offer to stick with Eastleigh. The only reason why I'd move right now when Eastleigh hasn't been to the Premier League is if Liverpool came knocking.

As of January 1, 2017, we are sitting at 7th place. Just barely outside the promotion playoffs. However, even if we finish 7th, it'll be considered as a successful season by myself, by the players and by many doubters

END OF SEASON SUMMARY


APRIL

We ended the season with a horrible run. 3 draws and 2 losses. If we win at least one of the games we would have been in promotion playoffs but sadly that isn't the case.

Although finishing 8th is a big achievement for us as we were expected to be relegated.

I'll need to buff up our squad especially our defense cause it's been a great worry considering how many we've been conceding.

DAN ONG RETIRES


Dan Ong has finally called an end to his time as a manager.

After 7 seasons of managerial experience, he has decided to hang up his coat and enjoy his time back in his homeland Singapore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for following the series.

I've decided to end the series because I felt like I don't have the passion to continue as a low league manager.

It feels like I'm just forcing out posts right now and just trying to get through the season until I get promoted again and the series becomes exciting again.

I got tired of the tedious role of just looking for free agents and loans offers and just getting no one due to the poor financial status of the club.

Hence, I've decided to end the series here as I have brought Eastleigh to their highest league and position in their history so I thought it was the best time to retire.

I'll probably embark on a new story. Maybe a new save with Liverpool, my favorite team or with some other team that you guys might want to see from me based on this story line.

Fair enough, lower league management can be a slog.

Hope you continue writing in another adventure!

Thanks for including us on this journey.

Will do. It's been a joy sharing to you guys my first ever series that I've done.

It was a joy talking in such a third person.

I'll be starting one again soon, probably a Liverpool save to bring them back to glory days.
