As expected at this point, Stockport lose against the 'bigger' sides, but are doing well against the typical 'tier 4' sides.
You're probably going to finish as 'the best of the rest' in that regard.
Still, if you get some new players in during the January window, things might change...

In regards to the January window, I have made the early move for a central/defensive midfielder in Elliot Watt. And I'm in need of a new goalkeeper too, with Hinchliffe departing, leaving Jordan Smith as my only keeper. Apart from that I don't expect to spend a lot (I also don't have a lot to spend), perhaps just filling a gap or two with all the players departing - almost every loan player plus the reserves, who made a transfer request during the fall.

Still going well. A draw at last; I'm quite often the same in my careers.
Interesting how much Birmingham are struggling.

Interesting loan signing; a bit of a conundrum, really; do you play "your" player, to help them develop, or someone else's? I can't see you being able to sign the loanee permanently next summer if you like him; they'll probably be unwilling to drop down so far. I've scouted a few kids from other clubs, and when you put them in the shortlist, they are all labelled as "unwilling to move".
Good first point against one of the big clubs; a sign of development indeed. Hey bro! Been reading your stories for a while, just had to ask. I’m making a career mode spreadsheet to track scouted players, monthly stats, match results, transfers, trophies and more. For example, if you input the score of a match, the “Result” column shows win, draw or loss. When i’m done, should I update you with it and send it to you?

Good first point against one of the big clubs; a sign of development indeed.From a career mode point of view, I'm sure it would always be preferable to play your own player, aiding his development rather than a player owned by another club. But looking at it realistically, signing a player to League Two from Monaco or other top clubs might not be the most likely thing - unless it's a loan.
I do like being a club that bigger clubs want to loan a player to, if that makes sense. And so be it, if one of my own is overlooked from time to time. So far it's a shared duty between the two though. We'll see if it continues that way.

Yeah, thanks mate. You are welcome to send it to my inbox here, then I'll have a look at it.
