#167213 Another Arsenal Career...

Superb career though mate, keep it up!
#128926 The Career of....Me

Unbeaten month for us, though again not being able to get the win has bitten us really. In the end it doesn't matter we are way and above our expectations and that is all that matters.
Guaranteed a play off place however which is a good thing indeed, would much rather avoid Leicester and not finish in 6th though of course that does look unlikely.

Unbeaten till we go to Brentford and a 94th minute winner steals a brilliant draw away from us. I was gutted to be honest because that loss is probably the end of the automatic promotion dream for us.
As you can see had we beaten Brentford we would have been sitting just two points behind them which would have been just amazing but sadly it wasn't to be. On the plus side it does look as if the play offs will be for us again. You will all notice the collapse of MK Dons! It has been quite incredible that one.
Another young Irish man will join us for the start of the new season.

So now this is what the stadium is looking like.
It was an indifferent month however, pretty much as expected though a little dip in form but continuing to generally be hard to beat. The loss to Bradford was hard to take though, they deserved the win but a last minute winner was heartbreaking.
This is the league then going into March and just 11 games to go. I say just 11 that is 33 points to play for and plenty can still happen at this time.
Whilst I think the auto places are well out of our reach now though not impossible securing a play off place will far and away beat the expectations of anyone at the start of the season. Me included. To be fair I am going to aim to be the team with the least losses at the end of the season and for now that is my only aim.
Also I can't help but lick my lips at the prospect of a two legged Play Off against MK Dons, now that would be a serious crowd pleaser!
Also during February I have signed a young lad in the hopes of his potential ability of five stars being exactly what can happen. For just £26k though he is an inexpensive risk and I have signed him on a three year deal.

So there is the League. We are in a decent position to make a move on second though of course we are due a bad run at some point so in that respect slipping out the play offs is possible too. Hopefully we can keep our foot on the gas. We actually play Leicester next at home and that could be a telling game for us this season.
Anyway, Fabulous for us in the FA Cup, drawing Arsenal away in the third round. Okay we lost 4-1 but who cares? It is my bank balance that I was worried about seeing afterwards. Incidentally we were on t
Almost £2m in the bank now and a good projection for us at the end of the season too, excellent stuff!
And here is the team. Midson and Clough had struck a good partnership and with Appiah and Smith coming back into the side after lengthy injuries we have lots of good competition for the striking positions. Absolutely can't wait to see how the seasons carries on for us either way and whatever happens beating the drop was the ultimate aim and playing well above the players abilities in some respects has been a great surprise.

Thanks pal, over the moon with the start I have made!
#126488 The Career of....Me

Still unbeaten and progressing in the FA Cup which is a key thing. I want a cup run though don't want it to upset the balance of the side. As I say at the moment we are tough to break down which is something I would love to keep going.
Colchester at home in Round two, could have been tougher.
And on a personal note:
Was thinking about the Aberdeen job but at this time I decided to decline all the offers and concentrate on AFC Wimbledon.
#126240 The Career of....Me

However the summer started well with the news of the stadium getting a revamp with the terrace being replaced to fit seats.
Budget wise we were pretty lucky too, though I wasn't looking to break the bank to get in the players that I was after. However a reasonable wage budget and transfer budget for a 'small' side in this league.
To keep you further from the suspense here is my team and the transfers that I made.
Anyone that want's to see a picture of any of the players I have signed just say, don't want to bore you all with it! However sadly both Appiah and Smith are out now for 5-6 months each with differing lengthy injuries. Typical!
Finances don't look to bad either, trying my best to keep the budget well under control.
However as you can see from the stats of the team we have played some games already and in fact it is to the end of August.
Not a bad start eh! Delighted with being five games unbeaten in the league above and the win at The King Power was just excellent.
We were actually 2-0 up before being pegged back from the penalty spot and seeing Bennett sent off. It was then 2-2 and could see where the game was going before loan player Zach Clough scored the second of his brace. Superb.

AFC Wimbledon is a team that I have never managed on Football Manager and fancied the challenge.
As you can see I was promoted, superb season all around from the lads.
Over all a superb set of results. Though if we had really cut out a couple of sloppy result we could have gone up automatically though in the end fell well back on third.
I wasn't pleased with the results in the cups at all and that is something to address next time out.
The whole team played their part but I promise a shake up in the ranks for League One.

So we managed it, 3 points clear in the end and to be honest this season was so much better than I could have hoped for! A double promotion and a side full of confidence going into League 1.
Obviously it also helps a hell of a lot when your strikers score almost 50 goals between them.
Gillingham came knocking at the door and that was quickly turned down.

So the final 4 games have been made somewhat tighter by my very poor month. Of course play offs wouldn't be a disaster but I wouldn't be happy to be in them after occupying a top 3 space for so long!
#65923 Journey To The End Of The Earth

So we are ticking along at a good and gentle pace, has to be said that I didn't expect to be having such an easy time of it in the league.
Sitting second and a point off top spot with ten games to play is a great season for me so far! Happy with my team.
I have also made a few signings! Youngsters that my scouts have told me could add something in the years to come.
All of them have signed as free agents.
#65874 Journey To The End Of The Earth

Thanks again for your kind words! Really enjoying this season.
Another pretty good month overall to many draws would be my only real concern but hey, we aren't losing many. Into round 3 of the FA cup too which is promising.
#65803 Journey To The End Of The Earth

Well I couldn't have really wished for a better couple of months! Only 11 points dropped from 36. Superb return for a newly promoted side.
It leaves us sitting pretty in 2nd place on 40 points, incidentally the same number that the team amassed when relegated to the BSP.
#65249 Journey To The End Of The Earth

So not a horrific start to life in League 2. Very pleased with my two comebacks from a couple of goals down I have to say.
6th, 18 points and a good foundation to build upon for the season.

So first things first, I have been offered and have signed a new contract with Bristol Rovers! Pretty pleased about that one.
There have been some serious changes made to the side. Hopefully I have enough to keep my head above water or better still reach my aim which is to get to the play offs again.
Some of the players I have signed and their stats.
And with these new players my squad now looks like this.
I have also been able to keep well below my wage budget too.
The bookies have us as one of the favourites for promotion too. Not just me who thinks a top 7 finish is out of the question.

Lots of freebie players will be needed! I refuse to spend to get in players. Well not big anyway!
#65060 Journey To The End Of The Earth

How we won it I have no idea at all! In truth we were shocking as the stats will suggest but the vital one is we won! League 2 here we come and a bounce straight back up.
This was nice to get too!
And a good cup run and promotion has helped the finances no end!

I don't play a defensive style. I look to score as many as I can. I get that from watching Peterborough United haha!
#65042 Journey To The End Of The Earth

So a poor first leg saw us needing to overturn a one goal deficit!
Of course the result was never in doubt!
A 7-6 aggregate win! Onwards to WEMBERLEYYYYYY
#64928 Journey To The End Of The Earth

Fingers crossed I will do just that fella! As this update shows you I did but just!
7 Points from my last 6 games was just not good enough in my opinion. You want a little bit of form going into the play offs so something has to be done to pull us back out of the poor form we are in!
Forest Green will be really, really tough. I have my fingers crossed for a good outcome though!

So all of these players have come in on loan. For none of these players am I paying anything out to their parent clubs, so all the loan players I did have are back where the belong and not with me!
This has enabled me to cut the wage bill.
Not a bad month either! Out of the cup but not so disappointed with that!
And I have managed to sneak my way into a play off place!

We shall see mate, there are no formalities, the board only want Play Offs so that is my aim, going to be close at the top I am sure. Though you will see from this update it is going to be now almost impossible!
Putting together a little cup run is the only saving grace from this. It has to be said that it can only help my finances. Overcoming Sheffield United on their own turf in the reply is a great achievement!
