oneteaminglasgow Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 November 2111 Sublime against Piast, genuinely abysmal against Jastrzebie but still escaped with a draw and a professional performance against Widzew Lodz. A good month. Midtable non-entities is exactly what I hoped for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 December 2111 We got put out the cup and lost to a 94th minute goal against Katowice, but two excellent results followed that up. I'm pleased overall. f**k me, I did not expect us to be in sixth place going into the winter break. Be back in February. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 January & February 2112 I had no games in January, but was able to shift Gonzalez, who was on a decent wage and would never be more than second choice right back for me. A couple of other youngsters with no chance of making it shifted, and Galas away on loan too. And I was finally able to bring a couple of players in - one decent, one a bench filler. The decent one is Nikola Sarcevic. An attacking midfielder, he has sensational vision, technique and flair which should make him an exciting player if nothing else. Only 18 so I'm expecting he'll be a bit raw, but pleased to get him in. Spoiler My backup keeper, McQuillan, went back to Hearts and they wouldn't send him back to me, so another guy is here to not play. Welcome to Jakub Daszkiewicz. Spoiler A mixed month, but I'll take it. We deserved to lose both the games we lost, so fair enough really, but as I said we're rea;;y quite good at pulling out results when we need one. Keeps us in sixth, but we're remarkably in with a shout of the top four, which is beyond my wildest dreams for this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 March 2112 A frankly Glasgow Rangers amount of penalties given to us this month, but I'll take it. What a month. Us being two points off second is an indictment of the rest of the league, but we deserve to be here based on this month. It might all fall away, but there's no danger of us going down so it's job done as far as I'm concerned. Anything now is a bonus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 6, 2023 Author Share Posted September 6, 2023 April 2112 Another great month in what has been a really, really strong end to the season for us. We had ten men for most of the game in the Jastrzebie game so that was a particularly enjoyable result, and stopping Lech from gaining ground on us was good. f**k me we're in pole position for second place. Two games to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 May 2112 Boom. Job done. A genuinely remarkable season. The money from Europe will be extremely helpful, but I still need to punt a load of players to keep the wages down. Ah it'll be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 Europa Conference League - Second Qualifying Round - July 2112 Spoiler Largely as expected, we're a lot better than them and we'll be in the next round barring any major catastrophes Spoiler We're through anyway, so I'm not massively arsed about the result. Performance was reasonable enough overall. Another tie which I think I'll get through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Europa Conference League - Third Qualifying Round - August 2112 Spoiler They made us work hard for the win, but we were never in any danger of not beating them. I think we should be fairly safe in Ireland of getting through no bother. Spoiler They had the odd half-chance but mostly it was a case of us just sitting in, and them having nowhere near enough quality to break us down. A wayward cross being tipped onto the bar was as close as they got. We were also able to kill it all off with a good move at the end. Who knows if they'll be good, but we're just two games off the group stages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Europa Conference League - Fourth Qualifying Round - August 2112 Spoiler We were a lot better than them, and we'll be playing in the group stages. We seem to be a very, very solid team defensively so far this season, and we're usually clinical as well. It's lovely stuff. Spoiler And we've made sure. There was never really any danger, but the two early-ish goals secured it beyond all doubt. Into the group stages we go, where we'll be one of three Polish sides. This is fucking huge for us too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Tricky. Tirana, I think, will be pish but the other two are probably quite good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Transfers 2112 Same as last summer with a lot of guys heading out the door. Motycka is a new signing, but the loan will do him good, Mucha is a good young player but probably won't be around long enough to really benefit from him and Zabrowski is in the same boat but a much better prospect. Twelve million quid though. A few more coming in this time though. I also extended Nikola Sarcevic's loan until the end of this season. Jaroslav Motycka is away on loan, as I said, but a young Czech striker who I've brought in from Slavia Prague's youth side. He's a good technical player with an excellent first touch, but I'd really like him to be a better finisher and a bit quicker. Still, he's on 3 goals from 6 games in his loan spell so far, which is promising. Spoiler Michael Tupaj is a young centre back, and will provide depth to the squad to begin with, but I'm hopeful that he'll develop into a reliable choice for us. Not the best in the air, but he's a solid defender on the ground and he's not too bad on the ball either. His pace and overall fitness is also very promising. He's had a couple of seasons playing in the second tier on loan, but this will be his first taste of top flight football. Spoiler Dean MacLennan is here to sit on a bench. I don't know why Hearts keep loaning me goalkeepers, I have no interest in developing them Spoiler Petar Dimitrov is an attacking midfield/left winger, and I'll be primarily playing him as the latter. He joins from Ludogorets, and most of his football has been for their second team in the lower leagues, but he did have a loan spell in Bulgaria's top flight last season. His crossing is legitimately dreadful, but he's a good dribbler, has pace and is a skillful player. Spoiler Eryk Szandroncho is another young striker. This one joins from Lech Poznan, where he did make one brief league appearance for the first team. He's an excellent finisher, and he's physically good. Not as skillful as some of the others I have, but has the makings of a good striker. Spoiler Svyatoslav Shevchenko is a left back, and he has made a handful of appearances for Shakhtar. Decent enough both defensively and going forward, without being exceptional at either, but his workrate is fantastic. I think he'll do very well here. Spoiler Tomas Bucha is an attacking midfielder, mostly, and will be a good option for depth. He's been a regular for midtable Czech top flight sides, which is a decent enough level, and there's an awful lot to like about his game. Really pleased. Spoiler Adam Phillipe is a "wonderkid" apparently, who I tried to sign permanently but instead have settled for getting him on loan. He looks brilliant. Plenty of France youth caps and 2 appearances for PSG's first team suggest he has something for sure. Spoiler The big money move is for centre half Bartosz Smolinski. He's only 19, and he's by no means the finished article, but he's got a lot of potential and a lot of attributes that are already very promising. Just a really decent looking player. Spoiler Predrag Bulat was a last minute signing to bolster me after Zabrowski left. He's a striker who was at Partizan Belgrade for ages, and has hardly played any first team football despite being 27. However, he should be a good squad option for us, and he works really hard and has some good attributes technically. Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 July 2112 An excellent start to the league season, seven goals scored, none conceded and three wins. Can't complain with that at all. It sees us top of the table at this early stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 August 2112 Not as good a month. We weren't great against Miedz, but should've beaten Lubin. However, Pogon really underlined the fact that they're a bit better than we are currently. We've dropped back to fourth, which would still be a decent enough season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I've gone through the thread and updated the honours list. It's in a post I made on the first page.

oneteaminglasgow Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 September 2112 Our somewhat shaky league form continued, although we're doing well everywhere else. Never expected to get anything from Augsburg, but a win against Dynamo is a great result and we continue in the cup as well. We remain in fourth for now, but plenty of time to go still. And we're definitely in with a shout here. We have both our games against Tirana to follow, which I'd hope will be six points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 October 2112 A much stronger month, with a couple of good wins in the league, a nice easy home win in Europe and we got through in the cup as well. Lovely stuff overall. Up to third place, which I would absolutely take. And a good chance of going through to the next round here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
