Day 213

I held a backroom meeting today. The staff recommended several players who actually look pretty good, along with a replacement Assistant Manager for the departed Curtis Woodhouse, and some other changes—a different formation and a change in Nutter’s squad status—that I ignored.

Of the recommended players that I got reports on today, Cecil Nyoni has talent but not enough to be a worthwhile investment. Tom Parkes is as close to the real deal as you’re likely to get at this level, but I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to sign him—his contract expires at the end of the season, and their could be some competition. Striker Trésor Kandol looks to be better than my current crop of strikers, but it remains to be seen if he’s far enough above them to bother.

My Under 18s won their sixth game of the season, cementing themselves mid-table in their group (in sixth position, in fact).
