We lost to lowly Prek Pra for god's sake, Nagaworld and Khemera I can understand more and National Defence have been this season's surprise packages, but still we should have beaten them. We have done nothing different from all the games in our long unbeaten run, yet somehow their goalkeepers turned into Peter Shilton, Gianluigi Buffon and Iker Cassilas rolled into one.. Maybe throw a bit of Rene Higuita in there as well, that's how stupid it got.. The FM Gods have been in a bad mood with me for some reason of late and like a husband who suddenly finds himself in the doghouse, i'm not really sure why? Our performances have been good, but we have not taken our chances and come across some goalkeepers in suspiciously great form.. The good news is th...

             Picture Credit: Save China's Tiger When we left off last time, EDC were riding high at the top of the C-League, going toe to toe with everybody's favourite Cambodian beer company, Angkor Tiger. At just past halfway in the season, it has been neck and neck, tit for tat, neck and crop, or whatever other depictions of closeness you wish to use. It seems that the season is heading for a final day showdown, when the two sides meet at the Electricity Stadium in the final game of the season on 2nd November 2024.. Until then there are ten more games to play. Who will blink first? Board Confidence Now you would think, given our position in the table, the board would be very happy, encouraging and supportive in our quest for the league title.. However my chairman, Hem Vutha and his cronies in the boardroom are indeed hard taskmasters. Despite only two defeats all season and a sustained challenge for the title, the board, while very pleased with my...

 After two damaging defeats in our title bid, to Boeung Ket and our title rivals, Angkor Tiger we still find in with a shout as we approach the halfway point in the season. The team are playing well and have found something that has been lacking in recent seasons - consistency. Now as we take on some of the lesser sides in the C-League, we must not slip up in our bid to keep up with the Tiger. New Leagues Added It seems a strange time to do this I know, but here’s an update on the playable leagues on the Ultimate World Football Manager Game. Cambodia Viet Nam Malaysia Thailand Indonesia Bangladesh India Nepal Pakistan Singapore Greenland (just because I can!) Match 15 – EDC v Wat Phnom After two narrow defeats to stronger teams in the league we now face the bottom side, Wat Phnom, who have only three points with only one win all season. This is a chance to get back on track and keep pace with Angkor Tiger who are three points ahead of us. I revert to my 4-3-...

                       Picture credit Charles J Sharp wikipedia creative commons EDC have made a fantastic start to the 2024 C-League Season and are so far unbeaten in the league, suffering only one defeat all season in the Hun Sen Cup to minnows Mondul Kiri. However our friends electric have bigger fish to fry this season, including helping three fishermen haul one out of the Mekong River which made national headlines. Can EDC manage to land the big catch of a C-League Title this season, or will this be caught by the other form team in Cambodia, Angkor Tiger who they find themselves neck and neck with EDC at the top of the league table after 8 games? Firstly though we have to navigate the choppy waters of the 'mid season' transfer window.. Transfer Window Players In EDC re-sign Joly I am delighted to welcome back our promising left back, Ayoub Joly to the Electricity Stadium. You may remember he surprisingly left us for ...
