42. Going on a Bug Hunt

Image
The Ultimate English Pyramid Game has been successfully transferred to FM26. What in the UI is going on here? It all looks a bit different... It was a normal Tuesday late afternoon in February. Spring had come early in this part of Yorkshire, the sun was shining and the temperatures well into double figures. I decided to get to Glen Road a bit early before the lads arrived for their training session.  I got out the bag of balls and cones to set up the training session. Today we were practising set pieces and doing some work on team shape so each player knew where he had to be when we were both in and out of possession. I took the balls and cones onto the Glen Road pitch to set up. As I walked towards the ground I noticed the pitch was full of birds ranging from huge flocks of Starlings to Crows and Blackbirds. Near one of the corner flags there was even a pair if squirrels foraging in the turf.. While this would have made a lovely scene on "Springwatch" this was not what I ex...

41. Do we Dare To Dream?

Image
  We have had a good season so far and despite some inconsistent form, have managed to stay in touch with the other teams near the top of the table, as one club fails to take the division by the scruff of the neck. Can we kick on and establish a lead as we approach the end of the season, or will we fade into the obscurity of the playoffs? Morley Town sign Livesey Mason This is a massive coup for the club. The former Holker Old Boys forward has fallen out of favour with the promoted side, who are adapting to life very well in the NW Counties Premier, lying in 5 th place. He banged in 46 goals for the Cumbrians over three seasons at this level and so is a proven NW Counties Div 1 goalscorer who will bolster our forward line which have been a little shot shy of late. Match 23: Lepton Highlanders v Morley Town It is matches like these we need to win if we are going to be promoted. Our friends from down the A62 lie rock bottom of the league, while we are in second place and could go ...

40. Keeping in Touch

  Match 18: Colne v Morley Town Put simply we need to get our act together after two heavy defeats and we seem to have lost the fizz we had at the start of the season. Therefore I have decided to try something new and have finally ditched the 4-4-2 and have gone to a 3-5-2 system This is bad news for the returning AML/R Marlon Gutzmore, but I think we have the personell to pull it off and will hopefully make us more solid at the back and be able to compete better in midfield. Colne sit in a middling 12 th place, while we have slipped to 4 th place, but just two points off the top. These are the kinds of games we need to win if we are to challenge for promotion. Morley Town: Oldham, G.Wilkinson, Bentley, Cotteril, Christie, Worsnop, Wright, Bett-Wildsmith, Smith, Wood, Ellis Subs: Thompson, Cotteril, O’Connor, Preston, Haylock Colne: Lombard, Angus, Barnett, Noble, Rice, Delaney, Pelling, Drake, Roberts, Ede, Lee Match Action We do not touch the ball from the kick off ...
