#46423 Around Europe Backwards - from Wales to Austria
Justicar
I'm not sure if there is a super-cup? Thanks if there is, haha! Wales has two cups, and the cup I need is just a standard cup, albeit with not many rounds.
Trivia: The Welsh cup I have just won is now only available to teams associated to the Welsh FA. But it was once open to English/English FA affiliated teams.
Previous winners (trophy wins in brackets) include various Welsh teams, such as Cardiff, Swansea, Newport etc but also some more left field English teams: Bristol City (1) (my team), Shrewsbury (6), Chester City (3), Wellington Town (3), Crewe (2), Oswestry (2), Hereford (1), Tranmere (1), admittedly they are all "border territory" teams.

We were lucky in both cup games and we were saved by last minute heroics from Frater in the Semi and Roberts (who was only playing due to squad weakness and joins Aberystwyth at the end of the season) in the Final.
We need to seriously strengthen for next season as I believe Bangor threw the title away really, and I need to win the Premier League Cup, a bit annoying as I'd like to move on, does anyone know the rules on this? I assume it's all cups .
Welsh Prem End of Season Awards
3rd Top Goalscorer - Craig Frater - 28 games 17 goals 5 assists
Young Player of the Year - Josh Bellamy (17 years old) - 20 games 9 assists (7.21 rating)
Manager of the Year - ME!
The board have set an initial budget of 3.2k per week and 0 transfer budget. Hopefully I can get it adjusted as it might not be enough to strengthen enough although I only need to win the cup.
We have a squad oriented to the future and we should be stronger next season, keep an eye out for transfers and pre-season soon.

Sadly there are two cups in Wales so it's at least another season. Casey Thomas has fractured his skull in training and will miss the rest of the season, Josh Knight has the chance to take over in his stead.

Needless to say I'm happy with the last 6 games and we go into the last 5 with a real crack at it, we still have to play Bangor and TNS, and these are the games that will probably decide the championship.
We are in the Semi-Final of the Welsh Cup against Newtown, I will be fielding a full strength line up.
Bellamy, the 17 year old wonderkid, been injured since the most recent Bangor game so hopefully we will have him back soon in the run in. The free-transferred player from Barry has really made our midfield tick this year, although Finselbach isn't doing badly in his stead.

A great few games for us, despite being above TNS towards the end of our run, the disappointing draw against Prestatyn meant we slipped marginally behind them at the 22 game league split. We are overachieving really and we still aren't doing better than the unstoppable TNS and Bangor, the final ten games sees the top six play each other twice so with 4 games against TNS and Bangor we might be able to do some. I remain unconvinced.
We have started to play with more fluidity and the football and level of control was certainly much improved in the last few games. I am pleased at our run and overall performance to date, Josh Bellamy and Crowell have really taken to the central midfield with aplomb and the January acquisition of Airbus CM Kyle Armstrong has really helped us in the middle of the park. The injury to Bloom at WBL has really enabled Keddle to come out of his shell in his place and he has excelled, I will have difficult decisions when he returns from injury.
We are out of the Welsh Premier Cup, but we are in the quarter final of the Welsh Cup, and we have drawn non-league Rhayader (A), we have a real chance to win this cup there are only three decent teams in the final 8, ourselves, Bangor and Bala.

Yeah it's not great but some of the kids were great and really switched on, you just have to handle the ones who think they are the life and soul.
I think I did ok today and hopefully they are a little better next week, I get paid either way and teaching secondary school isn't a desirable career for me.

Thanks Dan, the TNS game coincided with the return of Frater and Bellamy to the team, they were both out for a month, as you can see they certainly made a difference in this game.

We actually dominated, considering changing to "contain" for other games.
The top of the league looks like this after 14 games, with 8 remaining of the first stage:
BANGOR 30pts
TNS 27pts
PORT TALBOT 26pts
RHYL 25pts

A frustrating defeat to Prestatyn (due to 2 defensive mistakes) was followed by two scrappy/unconvincing wins. The defense is being ripped apart and most goals are coming from set pieces, the games where we have drawn have frankly been lucky.
Not actually enjoying this league and the Ukraine seems quite far away. If we can get some CM's in we might have a hope, but I sadly don't see it. Perhaps if we do get into Europe then we might have some money.

Barnsley and Blackpool wanted him but they are going for Flitcroft and Peter Houston respectively.
I don't know how the board have done it, but fair play. Sacked McInnes on Saturday, O'Driscoll in on Monday morning. Pre-meditated clearly, glad our board have a ruthless streak.

I considered applying for Llanelli when that job came up, they are in 11th, whereas I'm in 3rd at the time of writing (update to come tomorrow). Currently working on an essay.

Skybet suggests: 4/6 Mark Bowen, 6/1 Sean O'Driscoll, 7/1 Steve Cotterill.
Please not that moron Cotterill, or Bowen who has only even managed the Welsh NT/ Been Hughes' lackey. I don't want a manager I have to google....
DM thinks SOD set to be appointed: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2261665/Sean-ODriscoll-set-appointed-Bristol-City-manager.html
