Well, here we go! Nobody made us any offers, so I went holidaying and set it to 'Apply to any club'. There were a few better clubs (clubs higher in the Vanarama leagues) we sent our application to, but Hemel Hempstead was the first to offer a contract.
Hemel Hempstead FC is a semi-professional club currently playing in the Vanarama National League South. Nicknamed the Tudors, not much else I can tell about this club though. We stepped in when the club was in 23rd place, and our goal is to avoid relegation. We've been given a 9-month contract to make this happen, because, well, we can't manage a non-playable league obviously...
Now, I am new to lower league playing so I'm expecting this game to be quite difficult.
Squad and formation:
Chose a 4-3-3 formation, the players do have some pace, but quality overall is (as expected) not very good. I did manage to sign 3 free transfers, a new goalkeeper, defender and midfielder. No transfer budget, so just free transfers it is. Squad is better balanced now.
Schedule and results:
Fairly good start, with the biggest win being against 1st placed Ebbsfleet! Now on a 3 win streak, and hoping it to continue.
League table:
Slowly crawling out of the relegation zone...
That is it for now, will continue playing soon!
