An FM13 Blog

A football manager blog full of hopeless optimism (at least initially). I started a blog for a previous FM13 career but that fell firmly flat on its face.

After reaching 2033 it became clear depsite some small success my managerial career was dead in the water. So I started afresh with this current career and blog. After a fun though low key FM13 save I'm now moving onto my FM14 save!

I'm hoping I'll have gotten the worst of my mistakes out of my system and as I'm not going to be updating the blog story style hopefully it will be easier to update.

Takes real effort to be this inconsistent [2017]

The elite season is a bit longer at 30 games than the other divisions we've been in so I decided a snapshot after 5 games might not tell a great deal. I decided on three updates at 10, 20 and then finally the end of season at 30. But I got a bit over excited and so the first update is at 11 games.



Not that it makes much different. We're sitting mid table but we're not far from the drop. Largely because we've been all over the place form wise.



We've had some good games, and we've been unlucky, but we just don't seem to be able to finish games off. It's to be expected I guess and this should rightly be 'Tuna's most difficult season to date but it's a little frustrating. Everyone likes to win and we should have a few more to our name really.

Maybe the inconsistency has something to do with influx of players, younger players? Never mind. They're doing pretty well and will only get better. The real revelation youth wise has been my left back - Ninos Johansson. He got called up from my youth team as a back up but because of injuries he slotted straight in and has been doing well. Not as well as Hansen, the DL he replaced, but not bad for a youth product.

Speaking of Hansen the traitor set up the only goal when we played his team.

The team isn't quite firing on all cylinders yet. Look at the pass completion rate...

It's just below what I would like, across the board really. But that all adds up to a few more incomplete passes, more interceptions, loss of possession in certain areas. That needs tightening up but I think it's going to be a case of waiting to see whether that will solve itself as the team settles and the players develop.

Anyway, season prospects? I think mid table would be nice. I'd take that right now if I could. I don't see us making an inspired push for the top half of the table. A relegation dog fight seems more likely based on current form. That said I don't mind the fight so long as we survive.
