Welcome back! We are now on Part 22 of ‘Born & Bred’ FM24 blog series. If you missed the last part, please catch up here or if you’re completely new to ‘The Regionnaire Challenge‘, then here is a link to the introduction. However, I can only sign players that are born in the West Midlands. Basically the same concept as Athletic Bilbao, where only players with Basque nationality are permitted to sign and play for the club…
March – April ’28
Southern League Division One Central
In the final eight games of the season, we lost only twice as we looked to be crowned Champions. It was Arlesey and Biggleswade who’s defeated the Peacocks and in the final game of the season Reading City managed to grab a point off us. This meant we won five of the last eight matches, so glad I can count you know, lol.
We beat Beaconsfield with Birmingham-born Shilo Waldo grabbing a brace but it was the 3-1 win over Shrivenham when we were crowned league champions. Also, on that day, Shilo Waldo scored his 100th goal for the club…
And then we followed it up with three more wins after the defeat of course, but we ended the season unbeaten in the final four games, so happy days…
League Table
We won the league comfortable at the end in which I thought would have been my toughest season so far. Mind to gap Histon as they finished 17 points behind us. Will we have this joy next season or will it be tougher!!
Shilo Waldo AKA The Captain & Star Boy
The Birmingham-born forward started out at West Brom and then went to Stoke City on a free and never played a game for either club before I signed him at the start of this series…
After five seasons, he has the record for most league games and goals for the Peacocks. That stands at 102 goals in 155 apps in the league. He is also the club’s longest serving player and I still can’t believe I have managed to keep him at the club. He is a club ICON…
CoxieFM Stats
After five seasons at the Peacocks I am still not getting paid however I don’t care…Up The F#####G Gornal!!! Been in charge for 206 matches and won 141 of them. A win percentage of 68% which ain’t bad to be honest. I am a club ICON!!!
The history at the moment is three league win, four promotions in five seasons. We are now only one promotion from getting into the Vanarama National League North. Dare to dream….
