Written by Hello friends, this is the last post of the 2010/11 season for my Thurrock team. Seven games left to play and we are surely looking good for the promotion as you know from my previous post, we are eighteen points clear of 2nd place Chelmsford. I will not go into detail for all the games play as it will be an extremely long post. Here is the results in April..
There you go, my team ends the season with 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 loss. The draw against Bishop Stortford and the win against Tonbridge was enough for my Thurrock team to wrap up the Blue Square South title. My team now has 85 points and Chelmsford has 69 points, they are sixteen points behind us and with five games left, it was impossible for them to catch us and THURROCK HAD WON PROMOTION TO THE BLUE SQUARE PREMIER. WE DID IT.
After the title has been won, i think my team is already starting to celebrate and that is why we just won two out of the remaining five games. My players have been outstanding for the whole season, so i can’t really fault them for the three losses. It is a pity my team cannot achieve the 100 point mark as the Ziggy wish for but nevertheless it is still a remarkable achievement for the team as the highest finish we have is 3rd in Blue Square South in the 2004/05 season. We end the season with 91 points. Here is the table.
Just to mention, Chelmsford had defeated Eastbourne in the play-off final to join us in Blue Square Premier next season.
My board and the fans were ecstatic about the promotion as it was totally unexpected. The fans were singing my name, i am very touched by their support and i hope i will be able to bring more glory to this club for many years to come.
I also need to thank the players for the effort and hard work to produce a successful season. Here is the ratings of my players..
David King has the highest ratings of all and he is the fans player of the year for this season. Paul Hakim and Jack Jeffrey deserved special mention as well, they scored a total of 36 goals in all competition and during the season review, both was selected to be the signing of the season.
Though the celebration is still going on, i am already setting my sights for next season as the competition in Blue Square Premier will be much tougher. I will be seeking the opinion of my assistant manager to decide who will be staying and who need to be release. My next post will be the first post for the 2011/12 season. Blue Square Premier, here we come…
Congratulations on winning the league and gaining promotion. It was no surprise to me that once the league was secured the team appears to have switched off a bit. Reaching 100 points would have been a tough call anyway.
Very impressive season, and I'm sure you'll do okay in the Blue Square Premier.
Thanks, i had already signed a few players for Blue Square Premier. Actually i need a few more, but my club finances is very bad. My chairman does not allow me to sign players due to wage budget. How about your QPR story, have not see you update for few days.
I will hopefully get that posted soon. I'm self-employed and been very busy the last week getting a software project ready for release to my client.
I see, hope to see your post soon.
