Eastleigh FC Story!

5 more games, 3 wins and 2 draws is all that you need if salisbury continues to win!

April

Weston Super Mare 0:1 Eastleigh
Fantastic stuff and yet another great away win. One more win and the title is ours.

Eastleigh 2:0 Maidenhead
CHAMPIONS!! Rightly deserved too, there is only one team I can think of in this league that have been competition and that was Salisbury but they just were not as consistent and our away record was too good this season. Great win though and left it late a video will be put up

Eastleigh 0:2 Eastbourne
Bad result but my side was completely changed from last week due to there great accomplishment and I will be changing it up next week too with a lot of youth players

Dorchester 2:0 Eastleigh
Another loss but the youth still did brilliantly, I do want to finish on a high thought and next week will be back to the first team.

Dartford 1:2 Eastleigh
First team show why they are that good, great win and we end the season brilliantly.

END OF YEAR SUMMARY!
Well not much to say, its been brilliant my team has completely fulfilled my expectations. The FA Cup run was also a great journey for my and a good experience for the younger players of the squad. Every player I bought has made a huge impact especially Rowe, Adam and Gilpin.

Pre Season Transfers and news

Straight away STADIUM EXPANSION has been made extra 1700 seats is planned to make it a 4000 stadium. However we have paid 210k for it so now our finances are pretty awful. However my secret weapon will soon be unleashed to cover those expenses. We have now been moved to Fareham to play our football its 5500 capacity plus its got a two tier main stand!! Looks awesome shame its not actually my stadium though

The secret weapon: I have arranged 2 cups to play in all against premiership opposition. Of course I lost every game but my gate receipts were over 400k!! thus covering my stadium and my outgoings for probably 6 months. The stadium will be finished March next year.

Transfer news

Of course a lot of players left on frees but some of the talent I have brought in is fantastic. Firstly Ryan Doble from Southampton is a wonder buy, He is a massive Championship talent and for me to get him on a free is a gigantic coup. Tom parkes from Leicester looks a great prospect and also Stephen Husband is brilliant and I have had experience with him before when he use to be at Hearts.

Another exciting player is Adnan Ahmed from Bradford PA. He is a different class for this league and based my team around him. Charlie L’Anson is another young player who has great experience at this level.

Expectations Board and Myself

Board want me to achieve mid table which I am very capable of doing.

My aim is for playoffs. I have analysed this team and injuries will decide my season, the spine of my team is a different class to this league, however right and left back and left and right mid are a bit weaker. Injuries will be a huge problem as my first 11 are good but I do not have the wage budget left to get decent back up.

As my pre season games were just stupid money making cups they were all losses so not much to report

Well done on getting promoted first season.

Can't wait for the second season mate, and your signings sound amazing! Any screenshots?

Good luck!

Awesome idea, never really thought of doing that at lower league teams. Congrats on getting promoted, and wish you luck in the new season

Will be following

Thank you for the comments and support, I will post the screenshots of the new signings asap

August

Eastleigh 1:0 Mansfield
Fantastic start to the new season at a higher level. Played them off the park and finished the game with 22 shots on goal. Jamil Adam starts as he finished last season…in the goals.

Luton 0:2 Eastleigh
First midweek game of the season already and it was away to the favourites for the league. So you can imagine my surprise when we took the lead with my young welsh winger Watkins then the second came from L’Anson.

Eastleigh 5:0 Chelmsford
Great victory against the team that came up with me. The exciting part was the fact it was five different goal scorers. Adam,Parkes,Doble,McMahon and l’Anson.

A MASSIVE SIGNING!! I sometimes look through international youth squads and see if any had frees. Well Denmark had this 17 year old called Henrik Anderson and he looks amazing he’s left mid and has 10 crossing 10 dribbling 16 acceleration 11 pace 12 corners 15 natural fitness 16 flair and 13 determination. Can’t wait to see how he gets on.

Stockport 3:2 Eastleigh
First loss of the season and a very unlucky one. Stockport will be finishing high up the table this season no doubt. Anderson scored a great goal on his debut plus had a blatant penalty decision turned down. I argued with the decision and the FA backed me up. But Anderson looks amazing

Your signings are amazing mate! If you carry on signing people of that ability, you will have a great story with Eastleigh.

September

Eastleigh 3:0 Newport
2 goals from Adam 1 from Doble and 2 assists from Andersen. This trio are going to rip this league apart no question. Fantastic home win and hopefully we can keep this form going.

Hayes & Yeading 0:2 Eastleigh
Dominant performance again and another 2 goals for Adam. He is now getting better service with all the new quality around him and is really playing well which is great to see.

Eastleigh 0:2 Kidderminster
Not a great result but still a nice performance. The visitors will be a team to watch out for this season as they were already 3rd coming into this fixtures. Hopefully we can dust ourselves down and move onto the next game.

Braintree 1:4 Eastleigh
Double from Adam and a double from Andersen was more than enough to clinch it. The attacking flow to my team looks really good now and Doble is basically playing like a CF instead of a ST by linking up all the moves to Adam lovely to watch.

Ebbsfleet 1:2 Eastleigh
Another double from Adam caps off a great game for him. Away from home we look very good just like last season. It seems we have the delivery and class in midfield to make those extra chances and they are being taken mostly by Adam

Eastleigh 0:0 Alfreton
Alfreton deserved this as a minimum. We were very poor and never got started and in the end were lucky to get a point from this. Hopefully next week will be different.

Eastleigh 3:3 Fleetwood
Poor to score 3 at home and not win. Both teams played very well but we should not be conceding that many at home. 2 points from 2 home games is not good enough and that needs to be rectified ASAP.

Monthly Summary: 14/21 points is very good but should have been more from my last 2 home games. But this season is going really well so far and I know without injuries his young team will go from strength to strength.

October

Blyth 0:1 Eastleigh
Good start to the month. Doble getting the winner with another great assist by Andersen. This trio are still keeping us strong in the table and look very good.

Eastleigh 1:0 Telford
The only goal again and another clean sheet. Adam with it this time and another great possession performance have 60%. Telford had no shots on target in the whole game too

Southport 0:6 Eastleigh
Not deserved at all. We had 6 shots and scored 6 goals. Doble with a hat trick. We even got the last 2 when we had 10 men after Ahmed got sent off. Still a great win and a huge bonus for our goal difference.

Lincoln 3:1 Eastleigh
A loss had been coming and this was always going to be a hard game. Doble got our goal which is nice as he has also started to hit hot form scoring some very good goals. Hopefully we will put this result behind us and win in the FA Qual next week.

Dorchester 1:4 Eastleigh (FA CUP 4th Qual round)
Adam Doble and Andersen on the score sheet the other being a OG. Great win but don’t think I really want a cup run this season as getting into the football league is much more important.

Monthly Summary: Fantastic month as the only game I didn’t mind dropping points at was Lincoln away so all in all a confident month.

Great results mate. Shame about Lincoln but oh well. Like you said they are a good side. One thing I have to say, I like the way you report the match summary.

Thanks man really appreciate it!

November

Eastleigh 5:0 Hinckley
Great home win against not the best of sides in the league. Adam grabbed a standard hat trick. Fantastic win for the goal difference as well.

Eastleigh 3:0 Forest Green
55% possession in the game was always going to give us the win in this game. Doble got man of the match with his two goals. He is getting better every game he plays and is really starting to show his class.

York 0:1 Eastleigh
Ridiculous victory utterly not deserved. We had one shot on target in the game and L’Anson buried it. Moreover 37% from us was appalling but a wins a win.

Bristol Rovers 4:1 Eastleigh (FA CUP 1st Round)
Not a surprising result against a good football league outfit. Quite happy that we are out of the cup though as the league looks very good for us this season.

Wrexham 2:1 Eastleigh
Not a dreadful result against a top team in this league and one that we will put behind us. Coming up is another home game next week which will be very tough.

Eastleigh 2:4 Cheltenham
Tough was indeed right. Cheltenham have had a great season and just had a bit too much for me today. My team need a good rest but in this league it’s hard with all the mid-week games.

Monthly Summary: Not a bad month. Glad that we are out of the cup 3/5 wins in the league is good and the York win was huge considering we got nothing against high flyers Wrexham and Cheltenham. As long as we beat the other teams lower than us we will still have a great year.

December

Gateshead 1: 3 Eastleigh
Great start again to the month with this away win. Doble grabbing another 2 goals for his collection and I am hoping for a very positive month to take us into the new year.

Eastleigh 3:0 Barrow
Nice to follow up the last game with another win and another 3 goals. Also 3 different goal scorers plus Barrow did not have a single shot on target so very well played by my defenders.

Eastleigh 1:0 Hampton & Richmond (FA Trophy 1st Round)
Easy win in the end even if the score does not show it. Husband got the only goal of the game. The stats showed how dominant we were having 57% possession and 20 shots at the goal. Andersen claimed another assist for the season.

Mansfield 1:1 Eastleigh
Very tight game and a good point for us. Ahmed rose highest from another Andersen assist to grab a equaliser in the 91st minute.

Chelmsford 1:1 Eastleigh
A game we should of won with 19 shots and 60% possession. Andersen had to be brought on and he got the assist once again but Chelmsford equalised late on.

Month Summary: Good month as we were unbeaten however the last game of the year against Chelmsford should have been a win but still a good month to take us into the new year 2nd in the league.
