oneteaminglasgow Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 January 2107 I'll start with the two signings I made in my first month. As above van der Veen is immediately injured for most of the season, and both of them are intended as short term fixes anyway. Theo van der Veen is a right back, and is a very attacking one, by which I mean he can't fucking defend. He is actually relatively good going forward, and you never get both at this level, but still. He should do fine, and is versatile, but I can see him costing us a few goals. He can't play this season anyway. Spoiler Mateusz Wojtkowiak joins on loan, and isn't great but he's better than the defensive midfielders I had. He'll just sit in front of the defence and break up play, and I have no expectations of him doing anything else at all. A solid player. Spoiler A spectacular start though, with the new manager bounce well and truly in effect. Beating top of the league Fehervar was great, and totally unexpected, before we made up ground on Honved who are directly ahead of us. Through in the cup too. Can't ask for much more. So it sees us still sixth, but with some distance on the team below and breathing down the necks of those above. We're highly unlikely to get relegated, so whatever happens I'll be happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor1874 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Love the Hungarian league, both in real life and in FM. Had many a great save in that league. Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) February 2107 Decent enough I suppose, given where we are as a club. Good win over Ujpest and a couple of draws keeps the points ticking over, while we're still in the cup as well. We also did well to only lose 2-0 to Diosgyor, given they're top of the league and we had ten men for the whole second half. I'm pleased with things. Still sitting nicely midtable. However, on the last day of the month, this happened. Met his release clause, so nothing I could do. We get 50% of any future transfers as well, so that's something. Should add, Fabian was my best player. Edited June 18, 2023 by oneteaminglasgow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 March 2107 We're not actually that good, it would seem. We were maybe a bit unlucky to lose against Vasas, but other than that got what we deserved, including getting aa horsing from Ferencvaros. The cup exit was a pisser though. Losing to a last minute away goal in extra time. As I said, a pisser. But we're still sitting in sixth, and very safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 April 2107 I think it's called going through the motions. I've been playing a couple of 15 year olds in some of these games, as none of this matters whatsoever. We're staying up, but not doing much else. Looking forward to a clear out and next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 May 2107 Same as last month, Fodor got his first goal which isn't bad for a 15 year old. And we eventually finish in seventh. I'm glad the season is over. Large chunks of my playing squad are nowhere near good enough, so a chance to punt them and get new guys in is delightful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Transfers 2107 As I said, a big clear out required. None of these guys were good enough, which just shows how much deadweight my squad was carrying. A couple of the young guys on loan might turn out ok, but probably they'll just be on the released list in a few seasons. Anyway, punting 18 players obviously leaves some room for reinforcements. Colin Hogarth is a striker/right winger who joins from Scottish Championship side Livingston (though the vast majority of his playing time has been in League Two with Edinburgh City). However, we're at a poor-ish level, and he'll do well in it. A good dribbler, he's also quick and a decent finisher. There's obviously some glaring holes in his game - his movement's not great, and he can't cross for shit, but he'll do fine here. Spoiler The second of my three Scottish imports is Craig McIntosh. who joins from Clyde. He's done a bit better than Hogarth and has several seasons at League One level under his belt. A left winger/wing back, he's another good dribbler, a bit better than Hogarth in terms of his delivery and able to get up and down the flank. Not great defensively, which isn't ideal for the wing back role, but he's as good as I'll get presently. Spoiler Next up - Matej Kraljevic. He's one of a couple of centre halves I've brought in, but he can also cover left back effectively which is ideal. Physically very good, and he's good at marking but he's not the best tackler or in the air. However, I'm planning a back three so hopefully the other two can cover for this. He's good enough to play for us though. Spoiler Laszlo Koleszar is a bog standard Hungarian top flight level central midfielder - which is exactly what I was needing to be honest. The next couple of seasons are going to be about consolidating, and he'll be good enough for the time being. Good on the ball, abysmal off it. Spoiler Roland Nagy is a holding midfielder, a very limited footballer, and he's here to provide squad depth. He can play as an actual defensive midfielder, which I like, and he's played over 300 games so knows what it's all about. Spoiler Sajjad Kadhim is another central midfielder, who has almost 50 international caps (for Iraq) but has never played a single minute of senior club football. Nevertheless, he's a good combative water-carrier type of player, who I'm hoping will also pop up with a couple of goals a season. Good player. Spoiler Neo Ndlovu is another with zero prior professional experience, but looks a player. Great finisher, and has pretty much everything I'm looking for in a striker. I'm surprised we've managed to get him. I'd like him to be faster, but if he was he'd be nowhere near us. Spoiler Rain Osi provides cover at right back, left wing back and left wing (dunno why). He's fast and works hard, but technically very, very limited. I couldn't get any better than him though, and he's alright I guess. Spoiler John Stevenson is the last of my Scottish contingent, and another centre half. Good at all the basis, and a wee bit extra, he'll do well. He has 18 games played in the Scottish Premiership, the highest level of anyone in my squad, so I'm pleased with that. Spoiler So that's that. I don't think we're anywhere near being ready to challenge at the top of the table, but we're better than we were last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 July 2107 A nice boring start to the season, against an alright side. At least hints that my plan to absolutely shitfest our way through games might work. Does mean we still haven't won a game since March, but hey ho. Too early to mean a thing of course, but there we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 August 2107 We won a game! But more than that, we've looked genuinely good and competitive in all our games - and we were unlucky to lose the one game we did. We'll be fine this season. Intensely boring, but fine. I'd hope to be higher up than this, but it'll be sound for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 September 2107 A good month for us. Plenty of goals in our game against the lower league mob, and we continued to be really solid on league duty. Third would be a remarkable season, but we won't finish there. Would be thrilled if we can get fifth to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 October 2107 Bit more mixed, although we definitely should've beaten Bekescsaba. Missed a penalty in that game and a few other great chances. Our first loss in a while at the hands of Fehervar too. Overall it's about what you'd expect from a mid table set of jobbers, which we are. I would be happy enough with sixth. My main concern at the minute is that noone is getting cut adrift at the bottom - it'd be handy if someone would. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 November 2107 Two great results, one not so good one. We were a match for table toppers Ferencvaros, comfortable against Ujpest (despite ten men for the final 15), and then a really disappointing game against Vasas - made all the worse by Colin Hogarth having his leg broken and being out for the season. Still, not too bad. But we're still doing well enough and looking comfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 December 2107 A couple of decent wins to see us into the winter break. Craig McIntosh picked a nice time to get his first couple of goals, and Csordas is a 16 year old good prospect, so that's good too. And we're in the battle for the top four, which would get us a European game. But we probably won't manage it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 January 2108 A couple of new signings for the new year, and a few out the door as well as I continue my task of punting the deadwood. Andrej Andonovski is a young full back - primarily on the right, but can cover on the left too. Better than I had, and with plenty of room to improve. He's not got anything going forward though, which is slightly annoying, Spoiler Kristof Nagy has a few great attributes on the ball, and should be perfect to go beside Kadhim who's more defensive. His passing ability in particular excites me, and he's another who's very young. Spoiler Pick up where we left off with some good wins, and we also managed to score a few goals in a match against someone from our league for a change. Lovely. We're fourth just now. We're nowhere near winning the title, but it's a promising season so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) February 2108 Another bit of transfer business, with goalkeeper Matt Currie joining from Scottish League Two side Queen of the South. He's an upgrade on what I had and is broadly solid enough, so that's good. Spoiler Really back into the swing of it, and that win over Bekescsaba was glorious. 1-0 down in the 88th minute and we still won the game. Out the cup on away goals unfortunately, but two wins and a draw from the other four league games is very good going, so I'm pleased with how the month's gone overall. And it's seen us solidify ourselves in third place, which would be outstanding. Edited July 5, 2023 by oneteaminglasgow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 March 2108 Pretty standard month for us. Two decent wins, particularly the one against Diosgyor, and a draw against Budaors where their goal was their only attack in the last minute. Ferencvaros were far better than us. As expected, we won't be winning the league but we have a good shot at third. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 April 2108 A decent enough month, but it should've been better. We conceded late on against Csakvar and we weren't the poorer side in the Debrecen game either, but it happens I suppose. Two good wins, and a sensational month for Neo Ndlovu, who now has 17 league goals in his first season for us. We're in with an excellend shot of third, but we play Fehervar next which will determine that. we're all but guaranteed top four though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 May 2108 Well, that's the exact opposite of how I would've wanted the month to go. Oh well. And it means a fourth placed finish for us. If Ferencvaros win the cup final against Ujpest, we're into European competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
