What a roller coaster of a second season. First 14 league games without a win. Conversely, we could not stop winning FA Cup qualifiers. Ultimately got into the FA cup proper and survived until the 3rd round, our draw ... Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Predictably it was ugly, I think our lads suffered from a good bit of stage fright as they had never played before more than 1000 people at one time, but my oh my, how the board enjoyed the windfall from that gate.
As far as the rest of the season went, a late run in the league allowed us to finish in 19th, with a 1 point margin that was all that kept us from the drop zone.
The squad gelled toward the end of the season, the back line finally started listening to our captain, the grizzled old vet I brought in the summer before, but we still surrendered 78 goals by year end. The board has (surprisingly) been quite generous with the Chelsea windfall, updating our training facility, and granting a transfer budget of a whopping $65K, a virtual embarassment of riches in Conference South. The quest begins for a competent keeper and another fullback. On to year 3 and the hope of a finish in the top half of the table.
