So here’s the next installment in my career, I got rid of a couple of players and brought in a couple of youths and a few first teamers, I brought in a new goalkeeper, but my old goalie seems to be performing better. Forfana is attracting a lot of interest.

I managed to get to the third round of the FA trophy, but Grimsby knocked me out. Would of liked to of gone a little bit further, but we passed our expectation. We went on a bit of a decline, and it has seen our league position drop out of the promotion/playoff places. We have 10 games left. I think the title has gone. So playoffs is the main target now. A vital draw against promotion rivals Mansfield has seen a bit of a climb of late. I do have Wimbledon coming up which will be a huge game. Here is my current league position and my fixtures/results since the last update.

So 10 games left, Can Southport make it to the playoffs, after being put down to be relegated? Keep a lookout for the next update coming soon.
Hey guys,
Sorry its been a while since an update, but its time to kick off with my current Southport Career on FM2011. Before I start, I’d like to say My FM ability is limited. I’m not the greatest at the game, but I do enjoy it. I don’t use any scout tools like genie scout nor do I use editors. I may sign some dud players, I may sign some stars. As long as I keep my team above water then that’s all I’m going to aim for each season.
I’ve chosen Southport as it’s a close local team to my self, and i fancied starting from the bottom. I’m looking forward to seeing how far I can take Southport. I appreciate all comments, positive or negative so feel free to leave your thoughts.
So lets start with some transfer that I’ve brought in and released.

So my squad looks like this, I’ve shown the CA and PA thanks to my assistant, Some of those 1 stars do perform well for me, and I tend to use them mainly as backup until i can free up the wage bill a bit in january.
Squad
Will Grocett has been a key player for me, and is currently my only international player, representing northern Ireland under 19s. I still have a few areas I’d like to improve greatly on. I have a lack of depth in the middle so need to build on that. Also my goalkeeper aint the greatest and I’m on the lookout for a much better one. Ashley Winn, has scored some good goals for me. Him and Grocett form a great midfield. Both with plenty of years in front of them.
Here are my pre-season results. We almost hung onto a draw against villa and beating west ham reserves was a big boost for the squad. Mixed bag of results but overall i was happy.
Pre-Season
And these are my results up to now. Some big win, some losses that we should have won. A run of 14 unbeaten in all competitions has been amazing. We were written down as relegation candidates and we are now lying in 2nd place. We took Bristol back to their ground in a FA cup replay but they were too strong.
Fixtures
Here is the league table after 22 games. Still plenty to play for, but we are in a stong position and what started out as hovering midtable, we have climbed up the table in recent weeks, and may even challenge for the title.

Thats all for now, I’ll add a new post once I’m in a few more months. January Transfer Window is coming up shortly, So might add a few more faces, but I don’t think I’ll change too much as it’s clearly working at the moment.
Cheers, and hopefully you enjoyed the read 🙂
