Congratulations on the cup final. Finally shaking off of the Merseyside demons and winning a final, though against the blue side. It does seem like your shootouts always go long, at least recent ones. Those have to be nerve-racking.
Only 10 games left, a trophy has already been won but it would be nice to see a +10 GD and more wins than draws. Just to make the season really special for Stockport. Finishing top 10 might be too greedy to ask.

Aston Villa are equals it looks like. Not only close in the table but three straight matches that ended in a draw in regular time.
I would much rather have Everton instead of Liverpool in the final even though you just lost to the former. I think County will pull off the win this time.
Haha, I think you just invented a new thing - being a virtual fan of a football club, only because of Career Mode. In that case, I think I am too. Just saw the news of Stockport signing Oliver Norwood IRL, then instantly thought "hey, that's my club", haha...
Everton in the final is a dream mate. Liverpool have eliminated me three times in domestic cups during this save, all three being in the FA Cup. So I'm happy to avoid them this time!

This has to be considered a successful first season even without a trophy.
A nice draw indeed. Brighton have become a quite difficult opponent in recent years, so playing them in the 3rd round wasn't optimal. Bristol City is arguably an easier task.
Trophy or not, I agree that this season is all about survival, so I really can't complain with the relegation zone being continously kept at a distance.

@LABoog4 wrote:I think I jinxed you last time by predicting a good run of results and then you went 10 straight without a win. Fortunately things are turning around a bit and results are improving. Beating Leeds three times and then taking a player less than market value from them, Leeds fans must really be upset with you!
Haha, yeah that was a proper jinx. But I appreciate the attempt to guess the outcome of the upcoming fixtures. It didn't quite turn out that way, but results have improved a bit since, so I'm pretty happy about the development all in all.
Leeds is a good little story in the story, turning themselves into a regular UCL side with a lot of top players in their roster: Marquinhos, Gabriel, Inacio, Rico Lewis, Rodri, Rice, Kamara, Ruben Neves, Kubo and Sesko, all with +85 OVR currently. I don't know how they got so impressive, but perhaps it's a result of my initial moving clubs around in the start of this save. So beating them three times was pretty great, and looking at that defensive midfield (Rodri, Rice, Kamara & Neves) it's no wonder that I got to sign the Cohen fellow with a reasonable discount.
