Playoff heartbreak

Your decisions

Fictional club events from this simulated season.

1. MD 12 · The lucky boots go to auction
   Keep the promise to the charity. Tobias Figueiredo hands over the boots as promised. Lee Camp finds him a new pair, and the supporters appreciate the gesture.
   Next 3 matches: a dressing-room lift creates more chances, with a little less defensive focus.

2. MD 23 · Mid-season replacement
   Yuri Ribeiro out; Michael Dawson in.
   In this fictional season, a boardroom row puts Yuri Ribeiro in the bomb squad. Cooper must choose another player for the run-in.

3. MD 32 · A lift stops before the fan Q&A
   Let staff begin while players recover. Staff begin the Q&A while Matty Cash and Paul Anderson take a breather. The players join later, and the squad's preparation stays on schedule.
   Next 3 matches: fewer distractions tighten the defence, though Forest create slightly less.

4. MD 46 · A dance before the second leg
   Back the player, move the shoot. Cooper backs Paul Anderson but moves the cameras until after the tie. Captain Chris Cohen refocuses the dressing room, and the story gives Forest a little swagger.
   Second leg: a lift in confidence, with some risk of losing focus.
