The pre season didnt go great to start of with my team were lacking goals but scoring two goals against Bolton proved to me they could score against good teams although i went on to loose the game 4-2.

Here are the pre season results:

I got some good signings the most expensive Tommy Spurr who is a young Englishman and i thought i would gamble on a farely big amount on him.

Here are all my signings:

Next updates will be in January.

Well i forgot to post in January but i got a screen shot i will post in a bit.

The season started well with a few wins and i got to 2nd place, my performances started to drop and before i knew it i was in 6th place. The league cup didnt go great i was 3-0 to Swindon after 26 minutes but Billy Clarke scored a hatrick and i was level again, but Swindon scored in the 78th min and i was out. In January i was 4th and was a bit wishy washy loosing games i should have won like against people like Scunthorpe. In January i signed Rob hulse for 800k with the 3m the extra money the board had given me. I asked for more money on January the 30th and to my suprise i was given another 3m so i signed Lee Johnson 1.4m, Caldwell 1.3m and Myrie-Williams for 200k.

6 games after January i relised i was'nt going to win the league because Sheffield United were top by 22 points. I then started to drop points but i changed formation and i was winning again, i finished the season in 4th and drew Southampton in the semi's and beat them 3-1 on agg. Then i got West Brom in final and won 3-0.

The first step of the dream was completed now to attempt to save the club from relgation.
