Fictional club events from this simulated season.
MD 12 · Two names on the penalty spot
Hold a penalty session and name a taker. Cooper runs a short penalty contest and names a taker. Mustapha Carayol and Apostolos Vellios know the order, though the extra session eats into recovery.
Next match: a small fatigue cost. Following 2: better organisation.MD 32 · The West Bridgford pub photo
Put the full story out. Cooper explains the quiz and the nine o'clock finish. Apostolos Vellios and Paul Konchesky become the only players ever asked to defend their pub-quiz score at a press conference.
Next 3 matches: a dressing-room lift creates more chances, with a little less defensive focus.MD 46 · A quote on the back page
Back the player publicly. Cooper backs Alfa Semedo in front of the cameras. Joe Lolley stands beside him, though the attention follows them into leg two.
Second leg: a lift in confidence, with some risk of losing focus.
