challenge The Unemployment Challenge - Page 42

justplayingitcool congrats on completing the challenge

Just finished my 2nd season now still at Rochdale came 5th in the league and gained promotion via the play-offs and also won the JPT trophy along the way hopefully attracting interest from bigger clubs as their arent many higher jobs available at the moment.

November 2013:
Gimnastica 0-0 Sestao
Barakaldo 2-2 Gimnastica
Gimnastica 2-0 Badalona
Lemona 0-2 Gimnastica
Gimnastica 3-2 Lleida Esportiu (Federations Cup First Leg)

Barakaldo wrecked my clean sheet streak Got so bored of my home form I decided to go Balanced/Counter instead of Rigid worked straight away with a 2-0 win over Badalona, changing the striker probably helped too, should have been 5 if it wasnt for the crossbar. Great comeback from 0-2 down against Lleida with only 3 regulars starting, would have been a completely changed side had it not been for injuries. 3rd in the league conceded 5 in 14.

Are you set as sunday league footballer? if you are then up to you. If you want a short challenge then yes, if you want to take a longer route then no.

If it's the B team you should run away with your tail behind your legs.

If it's the main squad, then go for it!

December

Inter 4 - 0 Udinese - Champions Cup Group B

Inter 3 - 1 Palermo  - Serie A

Inter 3 -2 Sampdoria - Italian Cup 1st Round

Inter 1 - 0 Siena - Serie A

Inter 0 - 1 Bologna - Serie A

Inter 2 - 1 Torino - Serie A

League Position: 5th

European League position: 2nd

Summary: We managed to get in the knockout stages of the Champions League, which I am delighted with after our turn around. We started to climb the leagues with impressive win, although I got a disappointing defeat against Bologna. We trail by 8 points behing the league leaders, Udinese. I have started to make comparisons that I am in a similar scenario at Inter when I was in Gillingham and Vitesse.

The January transfer window opens and I hope to get some players in. And hopefully, I'll hope that get some players off my wage bill.

Trophies that I have won so far:

Portuguese Second Division - North (2014)
Portuguese Second Division (2014)
Johnstone Paint Trophy (2017)
Npower League One (2017)
Eredivisie (2018, 2020)

I think that says a lot about my start so far.

December 2013/January 2014.
1/12 Gimnastica 1-2 Palencia
8/12 Amorebieta 1-1 Gimnastica
12/12 Lleida 2-1 Gimnastica (Lleida win on away goals)
15/12 Osasuna B 1-3 Gimnastica
22/12 Gimnastica 3-1 Bilbao Ath
4/1 Gimnastica P-P Eibar (match to be played on 15/1)
11/1 Alaves 1-0 Gimnastica

Defeats have come like buses. Dont lose for ages then 3 come along at once. The team has forgotten how to keep clean sheets aswell. That 3 week gap was bad for us, looked rusty as hell against Alaves and lucky to have only lost 1-0. My backup goalkeeper single handedly knocked me out of the Federations Cup.
