The Angels of Oswestry

Hi you guys. I'm a Danish bloke who thought it might be find to try and create a story about a game of mine, in English. The blog kan be found in Danish at http://www.fmground.dk if that's of any interest to you.

Because I'm Danish, you might sometimes think "I didn't understand a word of that", and if so, please don't be afraid to tell me. I'd like to learn a little while writing as well

But here goes....

How to start this blog? I'm not sure. How many times I've created a blog with this team, I don't now either. I just now that I fell in love back in FM 2005 and that today I actually have a TNS shirt from 2008.

So, what's more obvious than to start a blog with TNS in FM2010 as well? Wouldn't it be fun to get TNS up and flying again, like I did that time in FM2005?

Usually I tell a little bit about the club, but this time I'm gonna be a little lazy, and so I'll just give you a couple of links to pages with info about the club;

- http://www.saints-alive.co.uk/index.php/history
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Saints_F.C.

The ultimate goal is European success which usually is a tough job. And this time is probably not going to be any different. I'll try to keep you up to date with different kinds of statistics, but won't promise you anything about the consistency of these statistics.

But first af all I need to get deep into the analysis of the squad. I playing stile is to be decided and we need to take back the Welsh Championship. A title that now has been out of the hands of TNS for two years in a row now.

September 1st 2010. The first three months in my new job, as a manager for The New Saints. It's been quite some hectic months and amongst other thing we've had a mixed start to the season, but it's no surprise to us, as we've got 8 new players in the squad.

And to get it overwith you get the list of transfers in right here:

Liam Hogan
David Pilgrim
Liam Robinson
Sam Habergham
Matthew Brown
Josh Robinson
Jason Mycoe
Josh Knight

This is 8 very exciting players that adds both depth and talent to the squad. Of course some players have been pushed down in the pegging order and even though we tried very hard, it was not possible to sell Phil Baker.

This also means a quite high wage total, more than what is good for the club but we're trying hard to fix that. With the transfers in this summer, we probably won't need to act a whole lot on the transfer market the next couple of seasons.

As mentioned we have had quite a mixed start to the season. We still haven't lost in the league, we won the last game 5-1 at Caearsws, and we're now at 7 points for 3 games.

In the League Cup we were defeated in the first group-game, home vs. Welshpool, who won deservedly 1-0. We're still in the frame for further progress in the tournament though, because we later defeated Cefn Druids 2-1 away.
