The Foresters' board made a shock and rash decision to bring in Cody A. Taylor for their final three games in league 1. Taylor did not produce results right away, but was able to maintain the top spot to win the league title. The post season was short, but Taylor brought in new talent in striker with Liam Roberts and Joe White. Taylor also solidified midfield with the addition of Raffael Spaggiari.

A new spark was with Foresters FC winning their first game in League 2 by a tally of three goals on the road. Taylor saw his team win five strait before a huge upset by Suel FC, losing 2-3 at home. Since then Taylor has enjoy unstoppable success on the road to the League 2 title, but the season still has two wary games remaining and with rival team Vai Noi only 3 points back there is no time to relax!

Foresters have all but clinched the title with a huge lopped sided victory!

Attachment 22894

One match remains against a weak team, and foresters are in need of a single point!

Very strong victory on the path to sucess! :D

PS: It would make your club center even more fab if you added classy league standings and your logo! :D

Foresters FC did not disappoint in their final game! A 0-6 victory over Waner FC!

Attachment 22972

Foresters FC also enjoyed some success in the Champions League with a Quarter Finals appearance. Foresters FC did qualify for the cup, but dropped out of the first round in a second leg 1-2 loss on the road.

Foresters FC lay all doubts to rest with a huge season opener on the road!

In the post match interview Taylor stated that his team will be using the 4-1-2-1-2 formation moving forward whenever both strikers are available. The impressive teamwork in the attacking front has quieted any concern over the possible weak points in the back. Taylor also stated that R Spaggiari will be sharing the captain's band this year. Hints suggest that player will be J White.

Foresters are weary with injury, but have maintained great form. Key players have suffered multiple injuries to this point of the season, including Miloslav Merrick, William Stockton, and John Clancy. Taylor has made several changes, including bringing several new players, namely Brandson Pettigrew (DL - 35) and Mario Olsson (DR - 23).

Taylor is still looking for the right players to replace Ian Niziolek and Ian Short, but claims he has not found the right players to fill the holes.

In other news Foresters FC disappointed in the Cup being knocked out in the playoffs round, but are looking steady in the Champions League having won group stage and the first leg of the knock out stage.

Taylor has made the best transfer out since starting as the manager of Foresters FC! The great sale of Jarrod Stephenson eases the fans' concern of over-spending by Taylor.

Attachment 23731

Taylor also stated he was happy to see Stephenson leave at a respectable price, but was still saddened to release a consistent player.

A statement by Stephenson indicated there are no hard feelings over his release. He will be missed.

Taylor looked unsettled in his post season interview, but only gave words of praise as his side finished second in a very tough season.

With the new season starts new challenges and Taylor stated he wants nothing less to win silverware this season.

With five league matches played Taylor expressed deep concerns that he may be able to meet the team's goals.

Attachment 24152

Foresters have done fairly well in the cup, winning all four qualification matches, and look poised to make it past the next round. Champions league also looks questionable with a 2-0-1 record in the first half of round robin play.

Recent transactions and injuries have also shaken the team's confidence.

Attachment 24155

Foresters FC has turned their fortunes around! League is improving, Champions League and Cup the Forests are shocking their manager with stellar runs.

There was no shock as Taylor has many abundant changes after the first five league games.
Out:

• DL, Richard Dykstra
• ST, Kevin Marchesi
• ST, Joe White (to Guide FC)

In:

• DMC/DMR, Jack Fawcett

Taylor stated he is extremely pleased will all competitions and is now again hopeful to fulfill his promise to win silverware.

Today Taylor made a stunning transfer bringing a new defensive member!

Attachment 24468

Felipe Chambers made an early debut against league rival Prosy FC and he did not disappoint! Chambers sent in a beautiful cross that was finished by senior striker, Liam Roberts (20'). Robert finished again at 50' via Alexsander Marlow. At 65' steady DL Brandson Pettigrew took a card. Shocked, Taylor told his team to change to 3N-4-2. Chambers took the defensive directions to heart and only allowed a single goal (75').

Attachment 24497

With the victory, debutante Chambers won over the hearts of the fans, earning Man of Match honors.

Today Felipe Chambers, in only his third match for Foresters FC, scored not one, but two direct free kick goals!

Attachment 24527

With Chambers' excellent contribution Foresters moved past rival club Prince FC into fourth place! The performance again earned Man of the Match honors!

Attachment 24578

Taylor welled with pride after yet another stellar Man of the Match performance from his newest addition to Foresters FC. :D

Chambers is still impressing, easing the upcoming league tension!

A win against Said would be nice :D But your new guy is just awesome, one of those rare gems. :)

Taylor signed two new Young players!

Taylor was unable to deliver on his silverware promise. Foresters were lucky to finish third in league with rocky play at the beginning of the season. The team had a record cup run, but still fell short being eliminated in the Semi-finals by a wide margin. Champions league was a disappoint completely, with an early exit from the first round (top 16).

Season five looks bright with only minimal changes needed to the team to keep them in form, however Foresters struggled against cup opponent Chelsea FC and went out in the first preliminary round.

Taylor did make some recent changes, here are the major players:

Foresters need the support of the fans more than ever to achieve better results this season!

Foresters celebrate a huge 2-1 home win over title-holders Said FC!

Attachment 25305

Attachment 25306

Last season Foresters' had a disappointing round 22 loss to Said FC that doomed them to a 3rd place finish. This victory is in the record books and sets up for an exciting title race this season!

Taylor made the hard decision to sell crowd favorite Miloslav Merrick today. Even so, most are viewing the move as a good one. Taylor has brought in other talent recently and Foresters have been short on transfer budget, so this eases growth concerns.

Attachment 25572

Fans are also hoping this sale means Taylor plans on keeping Merrick's partner on the pitch, Raffaele Spaggiari. Raffaelle still holds records for club goals, assists, and starts.

Foresters have had a rough go it, but still have improved over last season's league disappoint. Taylor has been kept busy trying to plan for the 2nd half of the season and knockout round of Champions League.

Another major change came down as Taylor decided to sell Brandson Pettigrew. This was his final performance in Foresters' colors:

Attachment 26102

Rumor has that Taylor also has his eye on a few young talents!

Foresters once again fell short of glory. There are rumbling that the Foresters' board is considering replacing Taylor.

The floor is now open for questions! :)

Foresters have three members in the top five of league scoring (post round 21). This includes striker Edward Gonzalez, winger Diego Tyree, and center back Felipe Chambers. Chambers is having an outstanding season and is poised to win MVP this year.

Despite poor form throughout league this season Foresters have managed to make the CL Final!

Taylor gave extra credit to Beau Espinoza for his stellar performance.

Forests had a very mixed season. Eliminated in the preliminary round of the cup. Unsatisfactory fourth place league finish. However, a first having won the champions league title. The tension between Taylor and the Foresters board eased only slightly with the CL victory. Rumor has it that the board will not accept anything lower than a 2nd place league finish for the upcoming season.

Taylor nominated Diego Tyree, Felipe Chambers, and Marvin Patcherezov for MVP. After the fan vote was tallied, there was no surprise as captain Felipe Chambers won MVP.

Most improved this season goes to Alex Fitzgerald. Taylor hopes to be able to use him in the starting eleven before the end of season.

Today is a sad day for Taylor as his longest-standing player moved on from Foresters FC. Burdick is a player that everyone respects, a real leader. Burdick wore the captains band though parts of seasons 3 & 4 and held the team record for assists for a few weeks in season 5 & 6.

Attachment 28244

Taylor again has improved the squad with new faces. This season it's midfield getting extra attention. On day 1 Taylor brought Rocco Sanchez for MC and now on day 4 he brought in Clark Guillermo for DMC/DML.

Attachment 28388

Today Foresters lost a little bit focus and allowed a Champions League opponent to snap their record 14 game win streak. It was 0-1 loss at home. Despite the tough loss Taylor remains optimistic. This also ends the strongest ever start to a Foresters season.

Attachment 28727

Foresters are finally coming close to meeting expectations! We are top of the league table, was just knocked out of the fourth round of the cup (round of 16), and look good to defend our Champions League Title.
