Both my full backs are regens too. I am looking to get some new ones in just now because I have the same feeling as you and I am also going to try and use the affilate with Bristol City as well

I loaned him in as well. For some decent players check out the american second division. They say they are not interested but I am waiting to find out if they will change their minds

First friendly 2-0 win against chesterfield Braund and Moore scoring the goals

useless if you ask me. none of them were any good. Plus none of them wanted to come and all went to the non-playable leagues for me

Fair enough. Well all my pre-season results were good. Draws vs Swindon, Bristol city and Blackpool were backed up with wins over Bury and rhyl. Looking like im going to romp home in the league

My friendlies were almost as successful with 3 wins against Chesterfield, Northwich Victoria and Horsham. I drew with Notts County but unfortunatly was beaten by Cowdenbeath and Bristol City but I am confident

Hmmm. A good August i feel. i lost the opening game 1-0 to Chelmsford somehow. An own goal. But I haven't conceded since then. And am now top. Unfourtanently Vetra and Braund were away on international duty when I played Newport in the conference cup and thus lost 1-0.

I have also lost 29K. not sure how.

The first season should be pretty simple I reckon, Braund is a god send. Godzicz is pretty good, Moore has impressed as well.

The games are pretty simple. Wait till your team gets international call ups and injurys though. Its a lot more challenging than i thought this first season. Im loaning in Jennison Myrie-Williams to add cover for the left wing and striker positions.

I can't seem to win games over 1-0. no matter what tactic I play. Can anyone help.

Yeh sorry I havent updated been at work and college

I won my first game 3-0 away to Havant and Waterloo. Braund getting 2 goals and setting up the other. I have managed to get around 5 players in on free transfers their stats look terrible but I have placed faith in my scouts. I am about to play a bit more of the game just now

Played 4 won 4. Already 2 points ahead of 2nd and 4 points ahead of 3rd

Jason Braund has been a hero scoring in every match including 2 games where he scored twice which means he has 6 goals in 4 games and I think he has only finished the full 90 minutes once so it wont be long before he gets his first Hat Trick

International Call ups?? I haven't really looked at this challenge much i have to confess but is the London City team far far to good for that league cos thats the impression i'm getting and it begs the question - Why start them in that league and not a higher one like League 1 or 2? Just seems a bit easy to begin with.
