19. End of Season 2

Image
Time to round up the formalities in what has been a successful season for Morley Town FC.  Youth Intake Day! To add to the happy mood in the camp we welcome more young recruits to the club. Marley Haylock (DL/DMLC) Oscar Caffrey (AMR/ST) Callum Haggett (AMRC) Cain Worsnop (DR/MRL/ST) Karlos Bett-Wildsmith (MRLC) Marlon Gutzmore (AMRL) Danny Benza (AMLC) Michael Francis (DR) I am particularly interested in this guy who has good stats for this level at the tender age of 15. Players Released From The Club I’m keen to keep a clean and tidy squad, which consists of first team players and some good youth prospects which have a chance of making it to the first team in the future. Some get stuck in that mid-zone of going nowhere and unfortunately have had to be released. Sam Kittrick (ST) Pekka Ikonen (MR) Flynn Sheppard (DC) Owen Jones (AMC) Jonny Jones (DR) – Free transfer to Bedlington Michael Fox (ML) – Free transfer to Carnforth Rangers Matt Dempsey leaves Morley Town

  Game Moves to FM24 I have successfully transferred The Ultimate English Pyramid Game from FM23 to FM24, which was a surprisingly seamless process given the amount of editor files there are on this game. Therefore all play and screenshots will now be from FM24.. Judging by today's news it will be played on the latest version of FM for some time yet! Match 20: Morley Town v Wortley Hide your daughters, Wortley are in town and they want revenge for the hammering we gave them earlier in the season. We are five points clear at the top, while the visitors from up t’ring road are in a middling 9 th . We are unchanged from the thriller against Leeds University. Team: McLachlan, Busfield, Clappison, Dempsey, M.Smith, Wright, A. Smith, Grantham, Rowe, Ellis, Preston Match Action It is the visitors who make the early running in this one and a snap shot brings out the best of McLachlan as he turns the ball round the post for a corner. At the other end, Ben Clappison hits the side net

17. Cleaning House

  Ho! Ho! Ho! It's Christmas time once again and I entered the festive period in good spirits with Morley Town sitting pretty at the top of the Yorkshire Amateur Supreme League and looking odds on to win back to back promotions on our journey to become serious rivals to Leeds United.  However it turns out the mood in the dressing room was not quite as festive... Our last match had been a 2-0 win at home against Alwoodley, but to my mind despite the result our performance had been rubbish and  against better opponents, we would have been beaten. I told the lads this after the game, with the objective of keeping their feet on the ground and guarding against complacency which I thought had crept into our play a bit of late. Turns out two of my star players, Sam Wright and Louis Rowe had taken exception to my criticism and had been spouting off about it to anybody who would listen down the Farriers Arms.  While they are entitled to their opinion I would prefer that all and sundry in th

16. Clear Daylight

  Morley Town have stormed clear at the top of the Yorkshire Amateur Supreme League, opening up an three point lead at the top of the table. Can they sustain their charge towards Level 10, or will the other teams in the division stop them in their tracks? Match 11: Morley Town v Leeds City This is somewhat of a grudge match after their reserve team did us over twice last season, not that it mattered overall. Still it would be nice to get one over this club. They lie in 10 th , while we are three points clear at the top from second placed Middleton, who host the hoodlums of Wortley. I make one change; Grantham comes in on the right after impressing off the bench against Littletown, with Faris Pamment dropping to the bench and Preston switching to the left wing. Team: McLachlan, Smith, Clappison, Dempsey, Alasttal, Agbozo, Wright, Grantham, Rowe, Ellis, Preston It is Leeds City who have the first chance when Marsden swings over a right wing cross and McLachlan saves Walker’s clos
