Reserve Games:
A ‘not as dominant’ win from the reserves, but one that is significant nonetheless. Pilgrim and Judast on song here to snatch a win.
4-1 against the Barnsley at Patriots Park with goals from Pepper, McLean, Bushy and Smith after going one down inside 5 minutes.
The first loss of the campaign for the reserves, and it came through a Sheffield United masterclass. Rodrigo getting the only goal to grab a consolation for the away supporters.
U18 Games:
Huddersfield the victims of the FMS youngsters as the first game of the month saw Jimmy bag 4, with JPB rounding off the rout with a goal of his own.
It was Doncaster who felt the wrath next then as Bushy scored all 4 goals to see the FMS youngsters progress to the 4th round of the youth cup against Manchester City (…and me! :D)
Last game of the month saw the mockery of a Premier League youth system as Bushy scored a hattrick against Sunderland. Matt and JPB getting the other goals to seal a huge 5-0 win!
Injury news next then, and it was a complete massacre in October…
..and they were just the more serious ones! Loads of others who faced a week on the sidelines, although its all good as we have a massive squad of players. A huge advantage I suppose :).
Next month will see another rather ‘easy’ run as we face Doncaster in the first game of the season. The only one I am really worried about is the game against Burnley, but I guess we will have to wait and see if we have enough in us to overcome them!
So that’s your lot for this episode! As ever, leave your comments in the box below and I’ll do my best to take on all your requests. Thanks for reading :D

Strange month for me, two call ups to the 1st team bench, a game on the bench for the reserves, a half time appearance for the reserves and a full game, am I Mr Inconsistent? Haha would like to see a screenshot of my full profile, including goals, assists, etc? But you might be doing that after the 6 month mark :)
Ross Gilchrist
13 июня, 2011 at 22:50
Actually no full game for the reserves haha
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:24
We will be doing it after 6 months mate :)

Great to see I have been playing from time to time now.
I did notice an injury on the first match, but I was in the squad the next match.
Thanks for giving me a chance boss!
What did you think of my performances?
Do you think I should be training on something specifically?
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:26
Playing well at the moment mate, 6.71 average is decent in my book!
Got you on strength training.. Its only 6! ;)

Nice to see I scored two goals with the U18s. Maybe I will start to get noticed. I have been very consistent with the U18s and Reserves, I hope that I will be getting a game with the seniors before January.
Can’t wait for your next episode. When will the new profile updates come out?
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:28
Profile’s will come out with the January update!
You did mate, and I tried to get you involved with the first team, but you had U18 duty on the same day. Probably going to keep you in there until you come on a professional contract.

Hey Excessive
It is good to see Johnny getting first-team action so he won’t leave! I am playing well, but I am so inconsistent! Good to see I got man of the match against Ispwich.
Excessive

7.04 rating mate, so your doing just fine. Some brilliant saves as well that were not in the highlights :)

yes i good header by me there in that hull game loved it
so boss i would really like to try to train in a diffrent position such as center back or maybe even midfield center
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:31
You are right back/centre back, and I dont feel like centre mid will do you much good with the attributes you have! I can do it if you want though?

«Hey boss, I seem to be playing well in the U18s as ever, the senior team is looking solid so another good month for us. But seriously? 9.1 in the Sunderland game and not MotM?!? Well done to Bushy though, he had a great game. I’m looking forward to November, let’s keep up the good work!»
:D
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:33
«Thanks son, you have had some outstanding games but Bushy has just edged you and a few others out on top performer!»

We’re doing great boss, nicely done! I hope that my in-game ego gave up on the thought of leaving the club.
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:33
Haha, I hope so!

I played for the reserves with rating usually around 8.0 in the previous months and now ive just gone! have i been dropped or gone out on loan? (Samlar)
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:34
Nope your still here bud. Not why he isn’t playing you, because the reserves aren’t managed by me. Dont worry, you’ll be back i’m sure :)
warren
14 июня, 2011 at 11:21
Me being dropped down to the reserves was purely to give everyone else a chance or is it because I havent been training/performing too well recently. Just so I know so that I can buck my ideas up in training
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:35
Actually, you needed some game time after an injury so I stuck you in the reserves ;)
Srujun Thanmay Gupta
14 июня, 2011 at 11:42
Great update! I’m seeing that I’ve only played one game each month for the reserves these past two months. Hopefully I’ll play better in the future and may be called up to the first team. :)
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:36
Hopefully you can mate! :)

Nice results. I’m definately putting my money on you guys to be promoted. I’ll like to know how i’m (Joshy) doing in Liverpool though. Any other first team appearances?
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:36
6 apps — 6.6 rating. Think your second fiddle to Aurellio ;)
Darren Smith
14 июня, 2011 at 12:03
Good update Jake, we’re flying in the league and should get stronger as other clubs cope with fatigue and injuries. Our squad is huge and as you say offers a massive advantage. So gutted I’m injured but it could be worse. Hopefully will recover and not be the next Owen!
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:38
Well your touted as the next ‘Owen’ so make that of what you will ;)
Thanks mate, but it does give a chance to the guys waiting on the bench yeah. Hopefully they can keep bagging the goals!
Darren Smith
16 июня, 2011 at 11:54
I guess been touted as the next Owen means the next big thing in England/or a striker that will be amazing ad flop after 5 seasons…hhmmmm

No games for me this month, oh well i can wait, im bound to get a chance soon and good results this month
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:39
Hopefully you can mate, not sure why he isn’t picking you..
Doing really well in training though!

14 июня, 2011 at 17:39
Nice :D
How long am I injured for?
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:39
Your fully fit mate! :P
Wilfred Von Karma
14 июня, 2011 at 18:25
Damn my injury. Got to wait two more posts to see how I fare on my second appearance. I’m sure that Darren Smith being out will be a big loss to the team but it’s going to give more time for the reserves. If we continue our run like this, we’ll walk right into the Prem like QPR! Go Patriots!!!
Excessive
16 июня, 2011 at 11:40
I know, it sucks.. But the lads are putting it in, so hopefully we can press on and get the results we need :)
