Non-League to Legend

I am doing a Lollujo inspired save from his long running YouTube series Non-League to Legend, however with a slight difference.

Rather than choosing the closest team to me in either the Conference North/South, I decided to make only those teams without a manager available, hence the reason behind choosing Braintree.

So, please follow along guys, it will probably just be yearly updates, but you can follow my journey from obscurity to greatness and beyond.

Best of luck! I'll be following, as will others I'm sure.

What can I say! Our first season in the world of football management couldn't have gone any better!

We arrived at Cressing Road Stadium on the 24th of June, unknown in the world of football, a nobody, being given a chance with recently relegated Braintree Town, way down in the 6th tier of the English football pyramid, turning out in the National League South.

With the board only expecting a mid-table finish, I was quietly confident we could achieve this and possibly more if we assembled a great team, as well as playing a possessive, pressing type of football, I saw this as the foundations to push us towards our targets and hopefully further.

Things were going well for us in our first 15 games, winning 8, managing 5 draws and succumbing to only 2 losses between the 3rd August to the 15th October with the highlight games being a come from behind 2-1 win against Slough and a 4-1 hammering of Dartford.

However the next 14 didn't go as I would've liked. From the 22nd of October till the 25th of January we were only able to scrape out 3 wins, falling to 6 defeats and 5 draws, and 3 of those 6 defeats came on the bounce with a 3-1 loss to Welling at home, followed by a 3-0 and 4-2 drumming away from Chelmsford and Dorking respectively.



(I need to finish this, and obviously add the picture evidence to back it up, but just giving you guys a flavour of what's gone on and some feedback would be good)

Good start there, following.
