With promotion secured, we start dipping into the market. Just a dip. Trials to allow us to take a look at players unattached to a club at this time. We have to do it because frankly we have no budget. None at all. We look at some Brazilians, some real experienced fellas. They would improve … Continue reading Moving Up
My heart can't take promotion play-offs. What is wrong with good old automatic-promotion spots. We set-up exactly how we had beat them the last two times we met. We failed to put them away and they were the better team. We kept it respectable with a late goal. Suddenly those away goals were very important. … Continue reading Champions Play-Off
We come to the end of the 2nd phase. Did we do enough to be in with a shout at Promotion? We were in a strong position. We had just beaten Tubize who we know we would need to face in any promotion play-off after their performance in the 1st phase of the season. We … Continue reading End of Regular Season
We continued to play well. No drop off from first half of the season after the points reset. Again sitting atop the table are ourselves (Virton) and Tubize (Bastards). Our 7th game was against Tubize, it would determine who is top at this stage of the season. I thought about countering their formation by playing … Continue reading Half-Way 2nd Stage
Mid-Season reflection and a bumper update on where we are.. And who we now hate. Bloody Cheaters.
We got some deals over the line. Left Winger? Check. Goalkeeper? Check. Additional Central Midfielder? Check. Our first game, was on me. I decided to go counter mentality as this year feels like its all about avoiding a relegation fight. We lost 3-1. So I abandoned my thinking and reverted back to normal mentality, we … Continue reading 5 Games in and a Cup Game
Apparently I'm bad with money. I had it in my head I was going to write a big long post about players I have added to the squad that will allow us to kick on. Instead I have a short tale.. I forgot to say last season I was losing Bonnano a left winger who … Continue reading Money Matters
With that I feel safe and happy for the season ahead. I won't be investing in anyone who doesn't improve the team so if no one is available then we go again with the same squad. But we will hit the market
6 Games left. Points tallied half and it is down to 4 teams for the title and the only automatic promotion spot. It is times like this someone had told me how the promotion/league structure worked at the start of the season. On paper Lommel SK are the team to fear, as mathematically we sit … Continue reading The Real Run-in
Well where does that leave us. Now …. I saw no trophy. What is happening? Bollocks. 6 Games I didn't expect. But we know we can do this. We have beaten all these teams. We want this promotion, it isn't essential but we know that without promotion we will struggle to hold our key players … Continue reading End of Season?
