(FM24) Born & Bred ‘The Regionnaire Challenge’ – Part 2

Welcome back! We are now on Part 2 of ‘Born & Bred’ FM24 blog series. If you missed the last chapter, please catch up here or if you’re completely new to ‘The Regionnaire Challenge‘, then here is a link to the introduction.

Having left you at the end of November ’23 with us at the top of the West Midlands (Regional) League Division One only by goal difference. This post will cover December ’23, January ’24 results and the league table. Before we get into it, here is a quick reminder of the restrictions that have been opposed upon me as Peacock manager. I can only sign players that were born/raised in the West Midlands. Basically the same concept as Athletic Club de Bilbao, where only players with Basque nationality are permitted to sign and play for the club.

December ’23…

It was the battle for 1st place as that we played 2nd place Bromyard Town with us only being on top by a better goal difference ahead of this fixture. However, we defeated the Town by 2-0 to notch up our 10th straight win and go ahead by three points. The next match, Birmingham born Jayden Allamby-John added to his assists tally with two more assists in the 4-1 win over rivals Wrens Nest. A final score of 7-0 was deserved as the Peacocks bullied Warstones Wanderers with Jayden Allamby-John scored a brace this time and making it 12 straight wins in a row. But wait, Gornal drop off the top of the table after drawing 1-1 against Gornal Colts….Yes, you read it right, we dropped points but still remain unbeaten in 13, following that draw. However, back to winning ways days later by beating FC Darlaston at the Garden Walk 4-1. Yes, my guy and former Walsall player Jayden Allamby-John scored twice. We end the year off by beating the divisions worst defence Dudley Athletic by 3-0, but remain in 2nd place in the league and remain 15 games unbeaten.

January ’24…

We return back to the top of the league following a 6-1 win over Pelsall Villa and then remained there for the rest of the month too. Our unbeaten streak continued to 19 games following victories over the likes of Wellington Amateurs who played like a bunch of lol, Stourport u21s and then finally Bustleholme. Also, 19 is the magic number at the Garden Walk as Jayden Allamby-John has that in assists so far in the league.

West Midlands (Regional) League Division One…

We are 1st in the league, however we are still being hunted down by Bromyard Town as they are only one point behind us in the league following their defeat to us in December.

Final Words…
