Dan C Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 From a previous thread here is my challenge,I'm yet to manage City as they never sack gj. But when I eventually start a new game as there manager I will lead them to a 1st place finish with around-95-105 points.The key to this? Same as I do at every club I manage. A massive clear out. Replacing the average players like woodman etc with quality young players that will improve vastly over the course of there contract and are very attack minded.Then using a attacking formation and a attacking style of play I will have much success with them.I will lead them to promotion and will ifasked to provide screenshots as evidence to prove i'm not cheating.I will use this thread to update and provide screenshots. Rough estimates to complete this challenge will be about a week.Untill later goodbye and happy playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the players I am buying though are match fit due to them playing friendlies for there clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan C Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 So the new season has now started, 1st game away at Oldham. I wasn't happy with the starting line up I had availible to me but that will improve before the transfer window closes.With this in mind I would have taken a draw.However.Very happy with that but I am not going to get carried away as my team is short of at least 6/7 players.Next game is Yeovil at home and i'm very worried about this due to the condition of my players after ththe Oldham game.

But as this isa one season challenge then it may be worth a shot.I have decided to keep Stewart on at least till Jan as he is doing well when needed, And no club wants him aswell. Also considering keeping Grant Smith on as he is doing an ok job when I have had to use him.Coddy you have way too much time on your hands!! :razz: Fair play though, 'tis looking good Yea I know . Could look better but I have done wel I think to get rid of all the dead wood and bring in twice the amount of players in just a month. I'm starting to feel abit of pressure though as I do still need 5/8 players to take me through to Jan and the window closes in around 9 days.

Dan C Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Right have played three games so will do a quick update. Very poor in these three games really.First I had a Carling Cup game against Rushden away, As my players condition was very bad from the previous game so decided to rest most of the first team players and go with youth/deadwood as the league is more important that the cup at the moment and there is still the Fa Cup and Ldv Vans Trophy for a nice little cup run Later on in the season.Took the lead early on but the youth players all tired in the second half and we conceded two poor goals.Wow what Can I say about the next game away at Barnsley. Il let the Picture do the talking.We took a 3nill lead and was looking very good, But then we let them back in just before half time.We Regained our four goal advantage on 57 mins, Barnsley then turned to a more attacking style of play as they had nothing to lose. With ten minutes to go they had levelled the scores 4-4. I was then forced to bring on Peter Thorne and play him on the right wing due to Cotts picking up a injury which led to there goal. I changed my tactics to all out attack, and then with the last kick of the game Trundle won the game for us.Next up Bournemouth. Wasn't at all confident as the players were in a bad way from the previous game as this game was on the monday so only a day between the two games.The first half was poor from both sides but the 1 nill scoreline to Bournemouth was unfair as the game was very equal. We levelled the game with a faboulous goal from Thomas Smith but sadly Bournemouth again took the lead not long after.Told my players it was a embarrising result, And then I got on with the massive task of recruting new players before the transfer window closed in two days (Full List of Transfers to follow)Next three games are Blackpool (home) Walsall (away) Brentford (away) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan C Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Right here's the screenshots of my last three games. Been a massive up turn in fortunes due to all the new signings and I now have a team I feel ready to compete for promotion.Very happy with that result, Seemed I made the right decision to keep both Grant Smith and Marcus Stewart as they are proving to be the main players in the team. I was worried about this game due to all the new signings making there debut but the players produced the goods for me.We took the lead early on and looked comfortable. Was a very boring game really and we deserved to win by just the one.The Kormas army was on the road for the second saturday in a row and they saw a fantastic game.1-1 at half time and I felt things needed changing. Danny Webber came on for Healey as I felt we needed someone with more pace up front and Robinson came on for McIndoe as McIndoe was carrying an injury.This seemed to work and within 20mins we were 4-1 up. Brentford however worked hard to get back into the game and would have easily snatched a draw if I wouldn't have changed the tactics.Sitting 3rd in the league and looking like we will soon take the top spot if we keep playing like this.Next up is Swansea at home, They seemto be struggling since selling two of there best players to us but they will still be up for this game.After that I have mid table Doncaster away and then Southend at Ashton Gate.

Hug A Tree Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Congrats on the good start, suprised you sold Partridge, for me he was a linch pin in my promotion winning side and may i suggest you keep hold of G Smith, very good in central midfield and can cover on the wing.Could you show us a pic of the transfers page, i.e comings and goings and also financial history, salary, incomes and expenditure etc. I'm not suggesting that you have cheated in any way just intrigued .Keep up the good work.

Dan C Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Can you upload this game on the internet because I'm intriged to play it.Will do.Been a mixed last three games. Could have won all three in truth but we are failing to convert our chances and there is some super goalkeepers in this league.Easily won this one and never looked in danger of conceding a goal. Stewart Picked up a injury.Should have won this game with al the chances we had but the blame lies with me due to Playing the iinexperienced Cotterill instead of someone more experienced as we had Stewart and Healey both out injured.The team is still yet to properly gel and once they do that we will be a quality team.Latest League table. Still third as you can see and only two points off of top spot.We are though however still on track just but need to convert draws into wins.Have a ten ay break now due to international call ups and have also been drawn away to Woking in the Ldv Vans and came runner up for manager of the month.

Dan C Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Have now played a further four games, Three in the league and one in the Ldv Vans Trophy.Went in at Half time 2 nil up. By the 69th minute Tranmere had equalised. Two minutes later however we regained the lead with a Trundle goal then he seemed to put the game to bed with a penalty but George Ndah got his hat trick with 6mins late to set up a tense finish. Luckily we held on to the end. But deserved the win.Very straight forward game really, Made a few changes to the starting line up that included Dave Cotterill who scored the only two goals of the game to send us into the next round.Back to the league and a very good game at Glanford Park, We were 3-0 up at half time and cruising. But Scunny scored two goals in 10 minutes to get back into the game. However Scunny we're very poor and we put them to bed on 74 minutes with Danny Webber's second goal of the game.Our next game was away at Port Vale , This fixture had already been prosponed twice due to international call ups. If we won this game and Forest failed to win we would go to the top of the table.Very good result, Out played Vale through out the game. We used to different formations as I wanted to test a new one I had come up with. Both formations proved to be effictive and the new one will feature more when I feel we need to play slightly defensive in a game.Webber and Trundle seem to be forming a good partnership so they are at the moment my 1st two strikers, However Healy is due back from injury soon so that could soon change.Have been drawn against Barnet in the second round of the Ldv Vans Trophy at Underhill and also will play Shrewsbury at Ashton Gate in the Fa Cup 1st round.Oh by the way. WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE, SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE Next Up Gillingham (home) Shrewsbury (Home Fa cup) and Mk Franchise (away) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
