Great win which sees us advance to the fourth round of the FA Trophy. Substitute and top goalscorer Jamille Matt came off the bench to score two and grab us the win. Ben Tozer, who I bought at AFC Wimbledon scored for Southend.

Another draw but I'm coming to expect this every game now. Jamille Matt grabbed a brace and really is a brilliant player, want to keep him at the club for as long as I can. With only 6 matches to go, we sit in 11th position, 9 points from the play offs- it really does look unlikely that we'll make the play offs but we'll give it a go. Our goal difference is no-where near as good as the other teams around us too so that puts us at a major disadvantage.

A loss at home to play off contenders Chester has confirmed our missing out on the play offs. We were outclassed all match however one positive was that of Ciaran Walsh- he has just joined the club as a 15 year old centre midfielder and scored on his debut.

Will post a screenie of him later.

Brilliant win against my former club AFC Wimbledon. Their former player Antoni Sarcevic scored for us late on with a great strike. I know it doesn't mean anything to us now but I'm buzzing about this result.

Fantastic game to end the season- Antoni Sarcevic scored in the last minute to grab us a win and put us in 9th position for this season. Out of the 46 matches we played, we somehow managed to end up drawing 23 of them. If next season we can turn those draws into wins then we will be in with a very good shout for the play offs.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/sxg9KNP2DgvuhUaJhztsVWxJBBZvYjix7wAtmd02.png

I don't intend on making many changes to the squad over the Summer, maybe just bring in 2-3 players. A few fringe players will be leaving but I'll mostly just be looking at sorting out the contracts and getting rid of all the stupid bonuses I put in.

Season Review 2015/16 - 9th Position

http://www.utd111.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/200px-Gateshead_FC.svg_.png


Goalkeepers
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/5jMnZrQSEaWNL5Os5mgjz6G3AZWhAT5KeNdANwNH.png
For the fourth successive season Adam Bartlett started every match for the club. He has signed a new deal and I fully intend him on playing every game next season too. I won't be bringing in a back up keeper- waste of money really. He only conceded 40 goals last season and kept 20 clean sheets.

Defenders
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SeoM9pj9BqZzsQa2LgLCrWUVNmSMbUCCNGd3Om5f.png
My starting back four consisted of Wood-Raynes-Clark-Jones. Wood was brilliant for me and was rock steady at right back. Clark and Raynes were a fantastic as a centre back pairing and will continue to do so next season. Raynes was voted fans player of the year whilst both on them chipped in with a few goals as well. Billy Jones was my starting left back and will join the club permanently in the Summer- he is a set piece demon too which is a bonus. Owens and Streete were both good back up when needed. Walsh is the 15 year old from the youth side, will try to give him as much gametime as I can without over-doing it.

Midfielders
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/emy7zBb5e8PUhPEgiVvm5E034TrTNmAqf6DAtDyW.png
I was very happy with my midfield this season. The Chanj and Thanoj will be leaving in the Summer though as their wage demands are too high- will be looking to bring in replacements though- offering Marshall out to clubs as well. Sarcevic, Norwood, Gurrieri and The Kluk impressed me greatly and will all be offered long term deals. They will be my starting midfielders next season- don't really need to strengthen.

Strikers
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BWVnxNDPpwv9h16BEpgd7vjkOalFCXdZWGr7WaF1.png
Well with the formations I use, I always only play with one striker. Jamille Matt was my main striker this season and ended the season with a fantastic 21 goals, a record for the club. He has recently signed a new 5 year deal, making him the highest paid player at the club on 1.6k a week. Benyon will stay as backup but that is all he will be. Bradley Bubb and Matt Taylor both left the club on frees in January to Oxford and Lincoln respectively, both didn't make an appearance for us.

Transfer News - Pre-Season - Season Five

My pre-season friendlies are just about to start and I've done a bit of business in the transfer market. I had previously stated that the squad didn't need much changing as only 4 players left the club. Andi Thanoj + Youssouf M'Changama were both released despite being regulars last season whilst David Noble and Marcus Marshall had their contracts paid off.

The owner pumped in 700k into the club so we are now only 200k in the red and I also managed to sign players down to new deals. Many players that I signed a few seasons back had yearly wage rise clauses in their deals- all these contracts have been changed. Now, no players have yearly wage rise in their contracts.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/irxj3YI8PNI2enh4u4b0DszjVEvuL5zF4FYEibGn.png


With four leaving the club, four players have arrived to replace them. I don't expect to make any more transfers until the season begins next month.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jwiQPnx24MqTMzU9ReIEdXLSi6GiGhzHQV5eb9TZ.png

My first signing was that of Liam Walker from my previous club, AFC Wimbledon. I bought Walker when I was at Wimbledon from Portsmouth and he as been a regular for them ever since. However, he found himself on the transfer list after the sides promotion to League Two and I moved in to splash all of our transfer budget on him. His stats are very impressive for a player in this league.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/UNvWSmy8yrwJh74ME9iTUoQT7vOFm6VUTWclf3Bg.png

This is a player that I'm very excited about. He is a central midfielder who I have somehow managed to sign from Championship side Ipswich. Looking at his stats, he looks way too good for this league so I'm hoping he can do well. He hasn't had much competitive gametime despite being 22 years of age- that is the only reason I can think of that I've managed to sign him.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/kFkS2EOiaJd3Rk92sTR1CsYjiUGZgGrd5fl7EcKu.png

I have gone back to another one of my clubs for my next signing. On my newsfeed, I am still subscribed to Southport and still look out for their results. In the Summer, they somehow managed to snap us this guy after his contract expired at Liverpool. Last season, he managed to score 12 goals from an attacking midfield position so this is definitely somebody I thought it was worth taking a punt on.

Billy Jones made his loan deal permanent from Cheltenham.

One more signing before we start our season. Shaun Whalley joins from Irish side Derry City- He was a star man for me when we were at Southport, I then bought him for AFC Wimbledon however he didn't get any game-time there and was sold on. He's not featured much in recent seasons but I'm hoping he can be successful for me under my leadership again.

Managed to get him on a free transfer as well so he adds more competition to my midfield and knows my tactics well.

A late goal for Accrington denied us our first win of the season. Need to get a win soon- not the kind of start I would of hoped for.
