Sears — FM11 Queens Park: The Spiders are going up 11/12

Hey everyone, welcome back to my Queens Park story. At the end of the first half of the season, we were twenty-two points clear at the top and promotion was looking a certainty. On top of that, we were enduring a fantastic run in the Scottish Cup. All in all I was exceeding the boards expectations and they were trilled.

League fixtures:

Our first game in February was against Stirling. They couldn’t match our skills and we beat them 3-0. In a seven goal triller we overcame Ayr at home 4-3. We went 4-0 up but Ayr clawed themselves back in to it and scored three goals. We somehow held on for the win. Annoying Clyde were next up, and thankfully we trashed them 5-0 :-) I was delighted with my teams performance. Boyce was back to his best as he netted a brace. March witnessed us continue our form. We narrowly defeated Cowdenbeath away 3-2. You may remember they beat us 6-2 earlier in the season thus I was pleased to beat them on this occasion. Goals from Boyce and Mayulu saw off Forfar 2-0, and that was it. With seven games remaining, we were announced champions of the Scottish Second Division!! However Peterhead wrecked our celebrations as they inflicted defeat upon us. We bounced back well to beat Livingston 3-2. April was another good month for us.Despite being crowned champions, I wanted to extend our lead at the top. We hammered struggling Dumbarton 3-1, and destroyed Aidrie Utd 3-1 as well. In May, we recorded a 2-1 victory over Ayr.

The table demonstrates how much we dominated the division, we finished a mega thirty-one points clear of Livingston! We’d the best defensive and attacking stats, as well as having a +52 goal difference.

Our phenomenal run in the Scottish Cup elated my board. We faced Elgin in the 5th round, let’s see how we got on shall we?

That result was fantastic, we were now in the quarter final of the Scottish Cup. Our opposition? Premier League side St.Johnstone. We had to play them away,Iwould have preferred to have played them at home but sure.. Here are the highlights of this eagerly anticipated tie:

Oh-no! Missed penalty in the last second??? We were so close….

They defeated us in the replay 3-2 to send us crashing out of the Scottish Cup.. :-( We were just a penalty away from the semi final.!!

Overall my squad were superb. Kuduzovic was our best player by a country mile! He scored 26 goals and assisted 27 times in 35 (5) games. Liam Boyce had a wonderful season despite being injured for a while. Sodini became a brick wall towards the end of the season and scored a few from set pieces too. Bernardo had a good season, but injury saw him finish early. Pivard impressed since joining in January. However, new players are needed and loads of the current team will be released over the course of pre season.

That’s all folks, thanks for reading.

    Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. You have an amateur side and still made it to the first division…can’t believe you came inches away from beating St Johnstone too. That must give you confidence going into next season. Keep up the great work Sears!

      Cheers Darren. I’m looking forward to nest season, I think were still an amateur club :-( If I’d won the Champions League we’d still be an amateur club, it’s ridiculous!!

    Amazing Sears, a brilliant season, congratulations! You absolutely dominated the league and the games against St Johnstone proves that you’re not far off being a Premier League team. Looking forward to your pre season :)

      Thanks Laxeyman. Were still an amateur club, I don’t know if we’ll ever turn pro or even semi pro.

    That is an amazing season, Sears! 89 points and such an impressive display overall — you definitely have to share your tactic with us!

    Hi Sears
    What a season!!! Well done again. So unlucky in the cup but that massive points gap to win the league surely made up for that. Good job :)

      Cheers Kevin, this was a season to remember. I was disappointed to lose in the cup,seeing as we missed a peno in the last second. We did excellent to get that far though :-)

    Have you tried asking your board to change the professional status of the team?

      There isn’t an option available to let me do that…

    Hi Sears,

    You totally dominated second division. Hopefully the board will do something. It’s time for them to show some ambition. Overall well done. Looking forward to you playing in first division.

    You really dominated the league Sears! Great job! Thaw was so unlucky in the Scottish Cup.. Your team should have been in the semi-final. Oh well, you’ve got next season. Looking forward for your transfer activity and how next season turns out.

      I was gutted to lose out. A penalty away from the semi final, what a sickner! I’m looking forward to next season too. Thanks Wazz

    Fantastic job Sears, congratulations! Too bad about the Cup heartbreak but maybe you’ll make up for that next season. The club’s status should be changed sooner or later, I’m sure of that.

      Thanks Johnny. Unfortunately the club is still amateur. Maybe another good season may finally convince them to turn pro, but I have my doubts. We may even remain amateur forever.
