Downloaded the Beta version and currently sat 1st in the league after 21 games but out of all the cups. Finally found a 4-2-3-1 tactic I'm happy with. Not exactly dominating as all my games are close but just doing enough to stay ahead. Extended Armstrong ad Kent's loans but presume Venus is dealing with contracts as Tudgay and Fortune contracts have got an extra year despite them not featuring much. Had the chance to sign Cole on loan as struggling to find the best player for the No.10 role but couldn't free up another 2k in wages. Signed Rossiter, Bigirimana and Pennington as had some bad injuries but Pennington the only decent one so far. Rossiter has been awful in the ball winning midfield role.
I played JOB as Shadow Striker behind Armstrong, with Fleck and either Kent or Murphy alongside. Seemed to work well, Arma has 26 goals before he was injured.
Changed to 424 now because I signed Simon Cox and Danny Mullins in my second season as well as resigning all three loanee for another season. Now I've got 3 prolific strikers. Resigned Richard Wood on a free because I was desperate and have immediately dropped him because he's shite. Was winning every game 4/5-0 for the first 15 games or so but just lost a load, shipping goals all over the place.
Reda, after I stuck by him through his injury, refused to sign a new contract stating he wanted to play at a higher level, then turned up playing for Bury! Cheeky shit.
