#766793 Bringing It Home

Southern League Division One South
We started the season very well but the months of October and November was roughhhhhh without a win, we then had a few role changes in our 4-4-2 and it picked up with us sitting 4th for most of the second half of the season, the final run of games was rough however with us playing 2nd placed Mangotsfield then the team who took the league by storm, Jersey Bulls, and also in April playing Mousehall who were 5th at the time and then Cinderford and Horndean for the final 2 games who were both playing to secure a playoff spot. We did finish the season in 4th and the playoffs and in the Semi Final of the playoffs we were very good battering 3rd placed Hereford Pegasus 3-1 after going 3-0 up and their only goal coming from a pen. We then faced Mangotsfield who were just the cut above though with them scoring in the 23rd minute and sitting on it until we went very attacking for the final 20 minutes and chucked everything we had at at and they took advantage of that scoring in the 89th min to make it 2-0 before Sam Crumb got one back in the final touch of the game.
FA Cup
One day we will do good in the cup. We started off smacking about Alton, who actually nearly won their league in the 10th division this season, but then we faced Wythenshawe Town who got to the playoff final of their 9th tier league and to be honest, I don't know what happened we just got smacked about nothing more to say
FA Trophy
The FA Trophy went slightly better with us getting two early goals against West Auckland at home before travelling 5 hours to Penrith where we bottled a 2-0 lead… then bottled a 3-2 lead… and it went to penalties where there was a total of 15 pairs of pens that we eventually managed to win. Heart rate was through the roof. Hastings really showed their class with them being in the league above and thrashed us 4-1

League
We quite struggled at the start of the season due to again not having many players due to our board not allowing us to sign a singular player with wages. The only part minus the end that I wrote down on my notes was Kevin Hemagou's 4 minute hatrick to win us the game against Helston at home, decent lad.
We eventually found our form. We then went on a hell of a run but then came close to bottling the league title in April and had to Win on the final game of the season and Bridport to lose…
AND WE DID IT and won the title, the chances went in our favour with Torpoint getting two goals past the 80 minute mark but we move up the league. MON THE BOYS
FA Cup
Well… this was quite embarrassing I can't lie, I can't even say this was a rotation side because it wasn't. We move
FA Vase
We made up for it in the FA Vase to be fair with us beating 10th tier sides Calne and Yarm easily before battering fellow 9th tier side Fairford but then the fixture list caught up with us and Reading just eased by at home, unfortunate

Buckland just don't want to see us win I guess

Ok So I kinda forgot about this so now I'm going to get everyone back up to date
League
As you can see really just an average season with us being one of the most streaky teams in the league but in our credit we only failed to score in 3 matches so at least we got one thing right this season. Much to improve on next season.
We ended up actually having a good goal difference and finishing mid-table wasn't the worst this season, you can see the difference in quality though with us being considerably closer to the relegation zone than the playoff spots
FA Cup
The FA Cup is always something I try my hardest in as it can bring a bit of money to the club but this was not the best attempt… We managed to beat fellow 9th tier team Eastwood despite going a goal down but then we got an unfortunate draw and got league above side Clitheroe in the next round and to our surprise we drew against them against a record crowd, with Clitheroe scoring in the 93rd minute… They showed their class smashing us 2-5 at their place in the replay though. We go again.
FA Vase
It was not our year for cup competitions but we did manage to beat Burscough with a good good from Owers but then Royal Wootton Bassett tore us a new one, 40 year old Alan Griffin to be exact who scored all 4 of those goals. Try hard.
Les Phillips Cup
I could not care less about this cup but we managed to practice our pens against teams in our league before losing to eventual winners Buckland
After seeing WorkTheSpace's away days I wanted to do my own so lets get in the car and get travelling!

End Of 2026 Season
We showed a good account of ourselves in the Champions playoffs only losing 2 games and also beating Weston Suburbs who are the Champions League holders currently and also in the two games we drew and also the loss against Cashmere Tech we won on XG so maybe we just struck unlucky but I'm really confident we can finish higher next season as well… It's a long process

WE GET PLAYOFFS!
Despite us making no real new signings and only winning one game against the 2 biggest teams in the league we managed to secure the final playoff space and go into the end of the 2026 season with a chance to secure Champions League football, all we need to do is play 8 more teams against the top 3 teams in every sector and finish in the top two of the final season. With our record against the top teams being shaky I'm not sure how this is going to go but we'll see
Our top performing so far in the season is ex-Bordeaux youngster Enzo Grothe who leads the league in assists and has also scored 8 goals for us. Including a goal against both of the Auckland clubs

JOERFE JOINS MANUKAU
After almost a year out the game I decided to take myself on a little holiday to New Zealand and join recently promoted Manukau who are predicted for relegation after their manager left to join rival club Auckland United.
After a bit of time at the club and my history at more senior clubs I managed to attract talent from Europe and South America and bring in a bunch of younger players that had been released by clubs like Bordeaux and Velez… We basically assembled a whole new squad by the end of the season
And the tactic seemed to work with me managing to keep the team up and only 2 places off going into the Champions Playoff and setting a good foundation for the season ahead

UP TO THIS DATE
Ok basically to catch you up, I started this save file with Inter Miami trying to learn the MLS rules I joined half way through the 2022 season and didn't finish in the playoffs, finished in the playoffs the next season but got knocked out of the shield thing, clearly didn't learn much, and then left half way through the 2024 season. Inter Miami went onto winning the MLS and the player I signed as my marquee signing won MVP….
After that disaster-class I decided to try and do the Hexagon challenge where I win all 6 Champions Leagues but I can't manage a team that has ever won the Champions League Before
