De Vries The King Posted 8 November 2005 Share Posted 8 November 2005 Finished season in 2nd place after being top throughout the campaign but in last few games Sheff Utd just came ahead of me by 2 points. Played 5 at the back 3 in centre mid 1 just behind striker and 1 striker. Levi Porter is an absolute legend. David Murphy is a good left back as well. I sold Tiatto-250k Dublin 8k Wilcox-50k Mccarthy-100k hughesy in january-500k Gudjopnnson 200k. And brought in off top of my head an Italian striker Berlinghetti or something-10k Basinas-free Koutspolous-80k a goalie who starts on a free cant remember his name Davenport-loan and possibly some more. In premiership though it's almost impossible to win so 10games in I resigned and became Sheff Wed manager for about 3games resigned and now I'm reading manager near the end of the season in 15th got them up from 18th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitesh Posted 8 November 2005 Share Posted 8 November 2005 Riiiite...Ricey how do you make skins? i think there was a good tutorial flying around the sites, try sortitoutsi or even the skinning forum at sigames. Cant remember who wrote it but it was good for beginners. you need something like Photoshop and decent knowledge on xml. It requiers patience and some bits can be tedious. I tried to make some skins for FM2005 or Cm0304 (cant member) but didnt get too far. And im not the most creative person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitesh Posted 9 November 2005 Share Posted 9 November 2005 Ok, so i need a challenge! I enjoy managing leicester and have had good fun but i need something different! So i have started as unemployed!! I was offered the Bury job withn 2 days and i have no money what so ever. I am on £525 pw and signed a 2 year deal. My squad is small, very old and to be honest, its going to be tough! For those who dont know, Bury are in league two and are relegation candidates! So....follow me on this amazing journey to the Premiership... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted 9 November 2005 Share Posted 9 November 2005 I gave up on the game last night. It crashed again, that's both times i've played it now, and i've only got to January 2006. I was just hanging onto 6th spot as well, and the chairman had promised to back me if i could find a high profile player, good times were to be had.

The People's Hero Posted 9 November 2005 Share Posted 9 November 2005 Mine crashes a lot too. In fact, all of my friends who have the game (some bought - some downloaded - some patched - some not) have all had the game crash on them more than once.

Muz Posted 9 November 2005 Share Posted 9 November 2005 Im doing shite. Fell from 2nd to 7th in the space of 9 games. Last 9 I've drawn 2 and lost the rest. Douglas , Henderson , Sheehan , Williams , Dublin , Hume and Young all injured. Delap also banned for 3 games. They're all long term injurys aswell. Because of that , I've had to bring in Mark Howard ( a young keeper ) from Arsenal on loan. Safri on a free transfer to provide depth. I have'nt got many fit players , so I've had to call up Scott Lycett from the reserves along with Kraig Rochester to provide backup. Team is: Howard Kisnorbo Latka Gerrbrand Stearman Smith Hughes Safri Chambers Gray Hammond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 9 November 2005 Share Posted 9 November 2005 I started bringing Weso on as sub and then eventually starting a few, his stats were really coming good after a couple of good training reports. Get him involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him involved I sent him out on loan at Stockport 'cos I thought i had enough in midfield so I thought I'd let Weso go for some experience. I want him back , but I cant recall him. He's out on loan for another 2 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 9 November 2005 Author Share Posted 9 November 2005 Halfway through the second season now and despite a shaky start I've gone on a run of 8 wins of out 9 which sees me with 44 points in 5th place, any other time I'd be top with that amount of points but Pompey, Charlton and Wigan especially are doing superbly, they'll be hard to catch. Lua Lua is setting the league alight with 18 goals from 24 games, Hanek and Kenton are solid at the back while Ryan Smith is a marvel on the right. Smith, Guarin and Stearman have shown great improvement and look like quality players now. Fingers crossed we don't throw it all away like last season.

YarmouthFox Posted 9 November 2005 Share Posted 9 November 2005 im in the premiership but struggling to score in november im having to play 4-5-1 because when i play 4-4-2 i loose to teams like wigan. im doing ok though im 9th but ill probably stay up so theres plenty of things for me to do to improve the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitesh Posted 9 November 2005 Share Posted 9 November 2005 Doing well in my friendlies. I think i know my strongest squad now. Currently playing Villa reserves, 3-3 at half time and iv just taken the lead!! Yes, defence is leaky but im experimenting with a tactic and players.

Mark Posted 10 November 2005 Share Posted 10 November 2005 Ok so i didn't give up on the game. Just played the rest of my 1st season, wasn't looking like i'd get in the playoffs but put together a 6 match unbeaten run, at the end of the season to make a late surge, to draw Sheffield United. But ended up losing the first leg at home 0-2, and despite winning the second leg away 1-0 i'm out League Table League Progress Player Stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Burglar Posted 10 November 2005 Share Posted 10 November 2005 Im lying 11th in the championship after 14 games. Tough stuff with Leicester....won the last 3 though after a poor start to the season.......so looking good now...stern john banging em in haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had problems all season at the back though - anyone know any good tactics/defenders to sign (cheap as possible!). I would say around half the games in the season i took a 1 or 2 goal lead to go on to either draw or lose! PS. Brighton finished 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
