#170424 Watch out United, we're coming for you...

How do the valuations for the players you had offers for look now? What do you think you could get for them?

Was superb mate very pleased.
A 27th minute penalty from Laurens Vandenheed was enough to see us through to the semi finals of the play offs. We were much the better side but the lack of shots on target was a worry but we bossed the game really.
Hasselt await for us in the next round, tough draw but I fancy we can do them on our day we can beat anyone to be honest.
It is also good to see there is a fan base of sorts there. Almost 1,500 fans have turned up to watch us in this round which is more than positive, hopefully with promotion will see sub 1,000 crowds from here on in. If we are promoted that is of course. Especially when you consider we had over 1,000 more fans at our game compared to the first leg, the home game for Woluwe-Zaventem. Crazy really.
More to come after the England game.

Cheers Dan, fingers crossed.
So we will play Woluwe-Zaventem in the quarter final as the Belgian league puts it. So by my reckoning that is three ties and six games away from promotion.
However, it is worth noting that we have yet to beat them in the four games we have played them. As well as that 4-0 hammering dished out earlier in the season.
Well that is until now.
We will take a one goal advantage back home to hopefully increase as we set out to get past the first test in this play offs. We were certainly not the better side but it isn't what matters, we took our chances much better. Fingers crossed for leg two. Throwing away a two goal lead however is never pleasing I am just pleased Rik Impens stuck one home for a 3-2 advantage.

.... We did it, though it was more than hard fought.
I actually physically left my seat and felt like I was in the dugout as Bart Vlaeminck stuck from 20 yards to make the score 2-1. Nerve wracking doesn't even cut it!
Play offs wait for me, hopefully this is our time!

So going into the last game it is literally make or break. There is a chance we could be piped to a play off spot by Charleroi Fleurus who are in 15th place in the league which would quite frankly be devastating. The only chance I have of making sure that this doesn't happen is to beat them in the final game of the season.
No doubt about it I will be absolutely gutted if I fail to get the play off spot especially from a side that are so far away from me in terms of points and positions. I just hope defeat to Hasselt will not ruin my chances to get promoted.
Also if we only draw then Woluwe-Zaventem could beat us both to the top spot of the third phase of games and steal the play off spot from both of us, wish me luck!

Another unbeaten run of games, the team is showing form that it had shown me toward the back end of the previous two seasons. Again though it is a shame about the draws.
In fairness it is the draws that could well come back and bite us in the end. With it being about points gained over the course of a run of games, to gain a play off spot, winning is paramount. I have given up on top spot being 14 points back is probably a step to far.

The hammering dished out by Woluwe-Zaventem was more than disappointing and losing to bottom side Charleroi Fleurus was just completely disappointing but I can let that go purely to a certain point.
Squad stats so far are looking pretty good.
Delighted with Sam Blancke, he has been superb for me since joining. 7 goals from an attacking midfield position is a great return. I am also pleased how the goals are being shared around.
Delighted to have been able to play Deconinck and Webrouck too as subs, they are a part of my youth squad as well as Kyano Verkest who has featured in 12 games in some capacity.

I was pleased to get one over on Oosterzonen after they piped me to a play off spot last time out, looks like early form suggest a relegation scrap for them also.

There are pros and cons to all sales of players I think the fact is an extra £1m in the coffers with the scope for more if the lads make it big like they are expected too, I would be going for a sale myself.
Your save though mate
#169726 Watch out United, we're coming for you...

I would be looking to sell if that is the case then. Make sure it is 25% of next sale not 25% of profit on future sales. I have been shot in the foot on that before.

No big changes this time. I will go with a mix of youth teamers and on the whole the squad I had for last season.
Blancke is a real coup for us I feel and will add some serious fire power to Attacking Midfield where I intend on playing him.
Here is how the squad shapes up for the season ahead.
Some big losses pre season but I made it a tough one on the players.

An unbeaten end to the season which is a positive and a great points tally in the league also. The team came good when it mattered most.
However you will be forgiven for not seeing a PL symbol next to my team in the league and that is because of this.
This is the Third Section of the league and despite me getting more points than Oosterzonen, beating them twice and having a better goal difference they get a play off place due to winning one more game in the 12. Gutted to say the least.
I have signed a new contract however. I believe I can take the team close next season if not all the way, it will be much the same side with a few of my youth teamers thrown into the mix. Only a one year contract extension on purpose however, if we don't make it I will be leaving.
Here are some stats from the season.

The board only expect a mid-table finish so they are more than happy Dan. However something amazing has happened.
We have gone on a run of results without a loss. Incredible to tell the truth that we have done so but the side had it in them to be able to do that.
League position is looking much healthier too which is only a bonus, hopefully a late surge for the play off places is what will come about for now I will just aim to better last seasons points total.

Still indifferent form as we head into the winter break. Hopefully this time the wins at the end of December will provide a bit of an injection to the squad and prove to be a catalyst in their form.
Here is how the squad shapes up after 19 games.
Also a new member of staff joins us, another Englishman. Pete Denham joins as Physio, best I can get on a shoestring budget.

On the positive side we are well away from the relegation spots. The bottom two look incapable of keeping up with the rest, just need to stay clear of that relegation play off spot.
