Football Manager 07

grayhound

Coach
After coming back from travelling and finally getting a chance to sit down and play FM07 ive recently started a save with Salisbury. I like a challenge and have started will salisbury as there tipped to get relegated from the Conf South (cant get much harder then that surely?).

After trying for pretty much every player on the game ive managed to get a few loan signings. I've got Gavin Grant from Milwall and some geezer from Bournemouth. I've only played a few friendly's so far and won one 9-0 and lost the rest through high scoring games 4-3's etc.

I seem to be ok going forward but looks like im going to concede a fair amount of goals at this rate.

Just wondered if anyone knew any decent signings and if anyone else has got any good saves going?

FM 08 should be out in a month or two.

Got to 2028 after turning Southend into a top 5 premiership side, never won it though. Got sacked after spending too much money one summer and a poor start to the season.

Cant even remember who I signed at the outset though!

On CM 01/02 i won the prem and champions league with Southend and then the next season i finshed 4th and got the sack. Couldnt believe it.

Think it's out around Christmas... Though i'm more excited about FM Live

How does this work any ideas? Ive tried to play CM on line with mates before but it was pretty slow from what i can remember.
 
I managed to win the premiership in 2017 with Southend on FM06, by which time RH was a 37,000 seater arena! Sadly my computer died when I was halfway through the next season lying first and top of my champions league group :(
 
I won the FA cup with Southend on the original Football Manager written by Yorkshire Ripper-a-like Kevin Toms:

I play 4-5-1 mostly, with counter attack turned on away from home.
 
I recommend a crazy youngster called Neville Roach - Scored 56 in his first season for me when I was manager of AC Milan in the Conference North.

quailty ill have to try the counter attack more often. When ever i try it i get stuffed. Got any good tips for getting out of the lower leagues. I find it well hard to sign half decent players

I find the trick is when to use counter-attacking. I'm Forest at the moment and I'm pretty much whipping everyone 3 or 4-0 most weeks. I don't start with counter-attacking but when I go a goal up, I turn on counter-attacking and I seem to spend the rest of the game camped in the opposition half! I use 4-4-2 though, one defensive CM and one attacking CM.

Yeh same here i have one AM and one DM. If u get good players in both postions i find they score a few goals between em.

absolutely...with signing players it is real hard when you're non-league but look around Championship/L1 reserves and u18's, see if there's any potential loanees out there and just bid for anyone...someone will join you eventually!

Big time, I think ive bid for pretty much every player on the game from championship downwards that look half decent. ive got a couple of decent players in but im finding it impossible to get dome decent defenders in i concead far to many goals.
