sirmarkhughes 24,770 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 All good things must come to an end they say. Well Tranmere were well beaten (2-0) by the better team today. Brentford second place and chasing the title eased to victory with goals from Luka Jovic & Victor Kovalenko. I think this defeat could be the making of us. Fans expectations were getting out of hand after the initial three wins in a row so being brought down to earth with this result should bring home some realisation that we are nowhere near the finished article yet. We will push on and try and make the playoffs. stated SMH. On a better note Pablo Mari arrived from Leicester at a bargain buy price of just £3.6 million. He arrives with two more youngsters. Antoine Collasin (70) & highly touted speed merchant Allan Arigoni (70). RieceM96 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sirmarkhughes 24,770 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Playoff hopes are gone for Tranmere this season after three defeats back to back. Wed 29 Jan A Division 3 Burton Albion 1 - 2 Sat 1 Feb H Division 3 Doncaster Rovers 1 - 0 Wed 5 Feb H Division 3 Birmingham City 1 - 1 Sat 8 Feb A Division 3 Hartlepool United 3 - 2 Wed 12 Feb H Division 3 Swansea City 1 - 1 Sat 15 Feb A Division 3 Millwall 0 - 2 Wed 19 Feb H Division 3 Peterborough United 0 - 1 Lots of transfers of youngsters as we trawl a net to try and catch a couple of good uns. Alex Iwobi (89) comes in from Forest as a big transfer with youngster Kouassi and £10.2 million going the other way. To finance this deal Karim Rekik left for Forest in a £10 million pounds move. Old man Rukevina (87#) comes in as a cheap cover for left and right back at 500k. A switch of keepers also happened with Olsen(88) moving to Roma for £6.6 million and Mendy (87)coming in from Rennes for £3.9M. Duncan(87) and Pedro (88) left for a combined £20M.# The team is starting to take shape. Hopefully we can bring in another first team player before new season approaches as we still have a £16 million transfer kitty. RieceM96 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

muallan 9,470 Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Took over Doncaster partway through Season 18 in July 2017 with the team stuck in the basement of Division 4 after some major neglect from the previous manager. The best players I inherited were Daniel Baier, Thomas Foket, and Gregory Sertic. It's been a long process but today Doncaster is in the upper half of Division 2 thanks to a mix of talented youth, experienced leaders... and 240 reserves. A big moment for the team occurred when I won the Pavard lottery a couple months into my tenure.. soon after, he thrived for Stuttgart and played a key role in France's World Cup journey. This allowed me to sell him for Milenkovic, Mount & Joachim Andersen. Through swings and roundabouts, these three players have been converted to: Telles, Cucurella, Ben White, Omur, Matviyenko, Emmanuel Dennis, O'Connell & Webster. I've made tens if not hundreds of internal deals during my time, some of which where I won greatly (Renan Lodi), and some of which where I got absolutely robbed (selling AWB for Mauro Jr., Oscar Rodriguez, Queiros & Christian Oliva - yikes). But it is what it is and these deals have allowed me to build up my ranks with interesting and viable players. I think that Sam Hinkie would be proud of my work. Nowadays, the team is led by Papu Gomez, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Telles, Djene & Pavlenka, backed up by a plethora of exciting prospects - some of the highlights include: Lodi, Bruno Guimaraes, Bennacer, Gabriel, Kabak, Almada, Hlozek & Fabio Silva. Looking into the future, the goal is to ultimately become a mainstay in Division 1, and to maybe even win a cup or two. I could see the team reaching this level within a year or so if everything works out. The process continues - here's to the next three years. --- Doncaster Rovers Progress from Season 18-25: Season 18 (D4): 17th, 36 points Season 19 (D4): 18th, 34 points Season 20 (D4): 10th, 56 points Season 21 (D4): 5th, 63 points - won promotion playoff Season 22 (D3): 15th, 45 points Season 23 (D3): 5th, 61 points - lost promotion playoff Season 24 (D3): 1st, 79 points currently, Season 25 (D2): 7th, 26 points after 17 games smut and 433 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johan 684 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Went past the 500 games for Leicester City a few games ago. Will be 5 years with them on 5 November. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dracolis 812 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 It's all gone wrong for Stockport. Two seasons ago we won Division 3 and last season finished a respectable 10th. Despite the odd win here and there the majority of damage was done in the first half of the season with mostly losses. Now we are relegated back to the Division we won.

Johan 684 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Leicester City Im pretty happy with my second season in division 3. Just one position better than last seasons 11th place but atleast i know im competitive. We had a great run to reach the our first ever English Shield Final but went down to a very strong Nottingham Forest. Top Scorer: Vardy 15Most Assists: Januzaj 23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dracolis 812 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Doncaster 3-1 Stockport After being relegated we were humilated further by an oppositions B-side and even dropped another place down the table to 19th. Also, to add insult to injury, Fernandes is retiring after only being with us for just over 2 months. muallan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
