Season 59 (65)
Really not sure what's happend to my team. 12 games ago all was looking quite good, 9th in the table, 10 or so points clear of the bottom 3 with improving young players. I thought my team was actually starting to become decent again. Now those 12 games later, 1 win, 2 draws and 9 defeats and relegation is a real threat as i now only sit 3 points off the bottom 3. I just don't understand how my form can disintegrate so much so quickly. I think i have a reasnable keeper, a reasnable defense a good midfield and 2 good young forwards so why is it going so wrong suddenly when i thought my team was on the up.

Sounds like a motivational chat in the dressing room is needed.
If only it was that easy lol.
There are 9 teams trying to avoid finishing 3rd from bottom........a few nervous moments to come over the final games.
Yep squeaky bum time.
In the remaining games I have to play 4 of the top 5 clubs, so I'm hoping to pick up points against Premier, Tottenham, and my Canvey rivals.
Well - interesting season with close battles everywhere. The fight to avoid the last relegation playoff place is ridiculously close and seems to involve half the league, the fight for the final European place is tight, the fight for 3rd is tight and there's even a fight for the title. Collectively we've had our best European season for a long time and should move into the top 10 in the rankings and maybe towards another European place for our league in the next season or two.
In the league for me the trouble is I can't see where Seaburn are going to drop points in their final fixtures and I don't think I'll make up a goal difference gap of 30. Plus I can see at least 2 or 3 tricky fixtures where I could easily drop points. I could potentially top 100 points, go unbeaten and still finish 2nd. I could equally easily drop 8 or 9 points in the next 6 games and Seaburn will cruise to another title. Either way my only hope is to spread rumours about Addo's gambling habit and the suggestion he's mister big in an illegal badger-fighting ring...
That's Doctor Big to you, Bakerman. Addo didn't spend 6 years doing that badger baiting thesis to be called 'Mr', believe you me.
A bit of a scare today for the Beach. 0-0 at halftime, after the Hoodies squandered a penalty. Then a second half brace from substitute Shyamsundar and a couple from Addo had the game all sewn up. There was still time in between that carnage for Hoodies to miss another penalty. For a defence that has only let in 11 goals I have to say they've conceded a boatload of penalties this season.
The Pixels lead the league in own goals (6)....is there a prize for that?!
Yes @Lee. The much-coveted Richard Dunne Trophy. Normally hoisted aloft at the end of each season by Dragontao, it'd be a real coup to steal it away from under his nose
Wow, what a difference 3 games and 7 points can make. Not counting my chickens yet obviously, but I think 36 points might just be enough. Hopefully 1 more win at least in my remaining games will make my stay at this level certain for at least one more season.
2 games to go, just hit 100 points - all I need is 2 more wins and Seaburn to drop some points (or a 30 goal switch in goal difference).
Come on Mostly unmanaged, We Lost and Canvey Pixels - you can beat Seaburn!
Well that was butt-clenchingly tight against Dragontao's mob. Both my GKs have clearly accepted payments from some overseas bookmakers to throw the title. Mishaxhi concedes a penalty that he then goes on to save, while Flemmings goes walkabout while an opposing midfielder bangs in a long-range shot.
I have a sinking feeling that the last match of the season will involve a giant kick in the crotch to Seaburn.
Oh Stephen - Lady Luck could well be planning to kick you in the nuts! Last game of the season, in the summer, on a Friday night, away at an Essex seaside town.......your boys could be in for a bit of bovver both on and off the pitch.
Or, I'm just full of hot air and you give me the usual spanking! As long as it's a full house I'm happy.
