Football Manager – Taking The Dolly Blues up the Leagues and into Europe – Season 14

After 13 seasons at Lancaster City I am taking them into Europe for the first time as we finished 6th in the Premiership last season. We over achieved last year but were very inconsistent as we were either good or really bad, we were 10th for goals scored and conceded so average but we need…

Football Manager – Taking The Dolly Blues up the Leagues – Season 13

Last season was Lancasters first in the Premiership and although we only had 7 wins, only got 33 points and only scored 40 goals we survived relegation on the last day of the season, and we also got to the FA Cup final but lost so there were positives and negatives. Our form for most…

A Week in a New World

It’s been a week now since Amazon released New World and it’s been a mixed week for them with issues on day one still affecting players a week later. The release of the game was riddled with issues surrounding their servers or more particularly a lack of servers and small server capacity left players sitting…

A Journey Into A New World

Amazon’s new MMO, New World was officially released yesterday on 28th September 2021. I had a brief play of it during the open Beta but didn’t really have enough time to fully experience the game but what I did play I enjoyed, my only real negative was my PC running hot. I had been keeping…

Football Manager – Taking The Dolly Blues up the Leagues – Season 12

I started managing Lancaster City when they first came into the Conference North and now 11 seasons later our 12th season will be in the Premiership after we gained an unlikely play-off win last year. The team we have, on paper, is no where good enough for the Premiership but I didn’t think they were…

Football Manager – Trying to Take The Dolly Blues up the Leagues – Season 11

Last season was Lancasters first in the Championship and after a good start our form fell away and while never close to relegation we were struggling from about November onwards but ended the season in 15th. This year I would like to do better however for that to happen we really need to improve the…

Football Manager – Trying to Take The Dolly Blues up the Leagues – Season 10

After taking 7 seasons to get Lancaster City from the Conference North to the Football League, we’ve now had 3 consecutive promotions and found ourselves in the Championships. Over the years we have been relying on staff to reccomend players and we end up signing players released by big clubs with upto league one potential…

Football Manager – Trying to Take The Dolly Blues up the Leagues – Season 9

Now into season 9 with Lancaster City we have made it to League One after securing back to back promotions. I thought it would have taken longer to get out of League Two but the step up wasn’t that big and most of our team had League Two ability. We also had a good striker…
