We played three league games this month, all at home at the GenQuip stadium :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/FBmXoQwUSEtihppduBu75NGcwk9JdvvqJVibB5RD.png

The game against Carmarthen was sickening. We couldn't get our feet on the ball. Anyway we wanted to forget that result as soon as possible with a good result against the reigning champions Bangor City.

The game against Carmarthen was the last one before we got our youth intake. After going in front through a Ian Nagle header from a corner, Bangor shocked us by equalising just before the break. However one of our youth candidates, Paul Williams slotted home the winner with 5 minutes left.

We then hosted Bala at the GenQuip stadium. We were out to improve on the last time we met them, where we were held to a 0-0 draw. After an eventless first half Paul Williams, cut the ball back for his fellow youth candidate Darren Edwards to slot home the opener. 5 minutes later we doubled our lead. Paul Williams again was the provider as he swinged in the corner for Ian Nagle to head home. Bala managed to grab one back though but it only proved to be a single consolation goal.

Here is the league table with 4 games to go :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/rNpwo2ehSIEypRfFflPL1wXodFM9l2hEmveB5vqU.png

We are two points off 7th place, with a 5 point gap over Bala due to our win against them

Youth Intake

Here are the players from the youth intake in order of potential :

David Twose :

Another good couple of months mate, looks like your sides beginning to get use to your management tactics!

Wrexham will be very tough opponents to overcome though!


Yeah they have got used to my flat 4-4-2. I am hoping for a positive result against Wrexham. I know that is a bit unrealistic but it doesn't hurt to hope!

In February we played 3 games in the league, and one in the cup.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/awbvalp0QZ9VOnTkJHD8EknlzDztjIGk9QYV8Ryn.png

The Bala game was very disappointing. We were the better side throughout the game but our strikers just couldn't find the target. We fell behind exactly before half time against Aberystwyth. We dominated possession but it wasn't until the 89th minute that we secured a draw. Martin Rose was through on goal when a defender pushed him to the ground inside the box. He picked himself up to score the resulting penalty. Another dominant game against struggling Prestatyn this time resulted in a 2-0 win for us - the only league win of the month.

Welsh Premier League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/UugEp8w8wD4koZVvl7OaM8bdPwF0hxD9ioJlxRSi.png

We still lie 9th, level on points with Bala and 7 points off Relegation Group leaders Aberystwyth.

Welsh Cup

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/aEnJXABbixp9Eco25BirE0K5MMVIPjsPLUQrZtdC.png

A good result for us which sees us through to the semis to face Wrexham, who play in the Blue Square Premier.

January saw us play just 2 games :

Afan Lido vs Port Talbot

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/U3vBAygDuPgOgEs7uwxSbFqNw82EieJPCbmM7QcR.png

A debut strike from Kevin Roberts gave us the 3 points

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/HLn1xyBuddojs98rTMMgUuXbq1gBtqeCkfPSU2jB.png

In the Welsh Cup 4th Round we faced Llandudno. After falling behind early to a Danny Price header, we rallied in the second half to progress to the Quarter Final.

This is the league table which has now been split into two groups.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SdKoYoglpycPDQHVYK7Zj6DBYiiDpgJr2Ko719kH.png

We are 9th, equal on points with Bala. I am confident that we can mount a challenge to place 7th at the end of the season.

January Transfers

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/zzliOu8KOvLF8DmEuIbqZnYkAlBZKauRNEm3DyQA.png

The first three transfers were completed out of my reign and Walsh has already finished his loan. My three main deals were for Danny Taylor, Adam Fenwick and Kevin Roberts.

I didn't want to lose Nicky Holland but Carmarthen approached him and he accepted their offer. Shame as he was my starting right midfielder.

Tough month mate, surely this season is all about survival of the league and then focus for next season, your still in a cup too? so maybe a cup run is on!


It wasn't bad to be fair to the players. Our only loss was to the league leaders who trashed TNS 4-1 in their previous encounter so there is no shame in that. Afan Lido are on a nice run of form but admittedly we were the better side and I am disappointed that we didn't get the 3 points. Survival, although virtually secured, is my main goal for this season along with a nice cup run in the Welsh Cup. Thanks for reading

December saw us play 4 fixtures :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/yonsDtF7ul6FmUYmMzTYYTzdXV9zh3Z8KUKeM4cp.png

Port Talbot vs Bala

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/xpY6tEllCacNhLQ17iytV50OqjHUmMszZVnn04U7.png

My first game in charge saw me travel to fellow strugglers Bala. An early and late goals helped us on the way to a comfortable win

Neath vs Port Talbot

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/3VH7yV0PcKkEYxr7opAzDx7bMc4CuxxvlVs2IgSR.png

An expected loss where an early goal from Morgan and two goals in the last 20 minutes saw the leaders condemn us to defeat.

Port Talbot vs Bangor City

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/HaF8HoL0mOgnBe74ne2f3tLn5MEIpCbyAGFTNNBk.png

Two goals in the first 5 miinutes from Cortez Belle and Martin Rose saw us defeat the reigning champions

Port Talbot vs Afan Lido

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/aSaWoKoldfYJHMdm7C9Bao084h3DR7ncM6LVc2XN.png

A second half goal from Martin Rose was immediately cancelled out by Afan Lido.

Welsh Premier League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tPBvYxTPm4KXyVRYa3nMWNmfwL8CHyzFW5qc9Cat.png

We lie safely in 9th place, 10 points clear from the relegation.

Next month sees us face Llandudno is the Welsh Cup 4th Round and the final match of the league and then the league splits in two

I have started unemployed and after about 5 months I have received my first two offers :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/OhWRUlvNzi03GVMCAu1c7eSbOHcmoXkRLwDwCi2k.png

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/2IRGu8qCZn516aLEnYKFCoAF6WdAhNdCoSxlToiD.png

I have decided to take the Port Talbot offer as Wales is the shortest part of the challenge.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/5F5dAqLE9jPXc0fDds7u0dBgfgkxGlS9R0qVeYMh.png

I inherit the side in 10th place, some way off the leaders but I am confident that we will survive.

We are still in the Welsh Cup, but have been knocked out of the Loosemores Cup.

I'm afraid not - I use the Metallic logo pack which contains logos for all competitions and clubs in the original database.

If anybody wants to produce logos for the rest, they are more than welcome


Can you post the link to your logopack pls?
