Youth Squad Promotion

Unfortunately I was correct in assuming that the youth squad would be a disappointment again this week. 19 year old winger-wannabee Guillem Canals has been auctioned off piece by piece to the local organ banks.

A week without a home league match means we lost a little money, but no big surprise there. It doesn’t look like we’ll be making much more money at all this season, though, as our two remaining games at The Docks are against the series bottom-feeders (Harrisburg Harries and WoM FC). Our plans to make a splash with a new forward may be put on hold unless we can find a deal.

Team Information

Team Spirit: Composed (5/10) (no change)
Team Confidence: Decent (4/6) (down two levels)

Our typically fickle supporters were surprisingly understanding of the loss last weekend to Big Reds, and four new ones even signed up despite the shutout.

Up Next: On the road for the second week in a row, we travel to Detroit to hopefully avenge the embarrassing 4-nil drubbing we suffered at the hands of the Ramblers in week five. Stay tuned!
