End of Season (2015) Update
First Division South:
We narrowly missed out on a playoff spot, but we couldn't really complain. It was a comfortable victory against Gunnilse IS but we started to decline quickly, as we only managed 1 goal in our next 5 games, although a goalless draw and a 1-0 win meant we had 4 points from those 5 matches. A 3-1 win away to Torslanda IK might have put our season back on the right track but one point from our next 2 matches meant we dropped to sixth, the lowest position since our 10th match of the season. We finally forced some results though, as we beat Husqvarna at home thanks to a Nsima Peter double (making him the club's top goalscorer). A Bjordjic MOTM performance against a relegated Utsiktens BK side put us back on our way (well they were relegated after that match), with Bjordjic scoring within 14 seconds, before setting up Magnusson's goal. We got away with a less than convincing performance against Gotene IF, recording a 2-1 win, with Johnny Mitrovic coming off the bench in his second appearance for the club (new youth recruit), and scoring within 2 minutes. After that win, we sat in second place, level on points with Norrby IF and 2 points ahead of FC Trollhattan. Our final match was against the Champions, Qviding, and to make it worse, we were away from home. The only thing we had on our side was the fact they had already won the title with a few games to spare. We pretty much controlled the game though, although that was much thanks to Lindqvist getting sent off on the half hour mark. We weren't able to make the most of our chances though, with not a single shot on target and in the end, we had drawn 0-0. Surprisingly, Norrby IF had lost their match but FC Trollhattan had recorded a 4-0 win away to FC Rosengard, to beat us on goal difference, with their +16 to our +13. We would have to wait another season at least before we could promote to the First Division Elite. Although I think we need another season in this league as well to have some of our youth players develop a little longer, especially with a lot of our starting XI starting to move towards their retirement.

Star Players:
Bojan Djordjic - A great season from the captain, setting up 9 goals as well as scoring 7 himself. He could well play for another 3-4 seasons as well, with not a huge amount of talent coming through on the left wing.
Emil Jansson - Finished the season the way he started it, with consistently good performances. Even some strong performances from Sundgren couldn't take the place away from the younger defender.
Filip Magnusson - Surprising to have two defenders in the star players but Magnusson was very solid in his first season as a first choice central back, taking over from Linus Johansson (who the board has finally forgotten about, thank god). Anyway, a great season alongside Utkovic and he will be developing into an exceptional centre back.
Nsima Peter A solid season from the striker. Being the youngest of our strikers is a bonus as well, meaning he's still got some seasons left in him before our youth players area ready to step in as main first team contenders. Hoping for another good season from Peter next season, especially with Nilsson having a pretty average season.
Youth Candidates:
Johnny Mitrovic (YP2a) - A talented pacey striker who has a lot of potential. Came off the bench in two games this season, and scored within 2 minutes of being on the field in the second game, making him the youngest scorer for the club (as well as youngest player).
Calle Lindh (YP2b) - A very great prospect for the club. Is yet to play in the senior squad but has a great future ahead of him.
Joakim Nyman (YP2c) - He has the potential to be so much better than our current left fullbacks, a position we're severely lacking in. He doesn't look as great as the two players above him but I think Nyman is the most likely to get first team playing time the soonest, and I might throw him into the deep end next season and see how he goes.
Par Nilsson (YP2d) - A good looking central defender and likely to be the replacement for Utkovic when he finally hangs up his boots, although with a few players with potential in that position (Jansson and Rewar), there will be a strong fight for that position, although Jansson seems to prefer playing at right fullback anyway.
Hannes Wiberg (YP2e) - Not as much potential as Lindh but he'll be a good prospect for the future.
Amir Blom (YP2f) - Needs to be retrained to play as a winger, but he's got some potential. Not sure whether he'll ever be a key part of our side but he's here just in case.
Jens Nordstrom (YP2g) - Signed him due to our lack of decent players at left fullback but can't see him getting much playing time with Nyman ahead of him.
Bjorn Winqvist (YP2h) - Signed mainly due to his versatility in defence and to add an extra player, but never going to be first team material, just a decent backup.
Class of 2014:
Rasmus Arvidsson (YP1a) - Only the one league game this season, recording a shutout but good progression from the keeper. Tutoring from Assad has helped him as well. He's nearly as good as Eklund already and there's a good chance he'll be our first choice keeper the season after next.
Dennis Wrangel (YP1b) - Slow progression for Wrangel. Didn't really make any impact in the few games he played. Might try and loan him out next season.
Facilities:
Not a huge deal of news. Just getting our field relayed in the off-season with the condition starting to deteriorate.
Finances:
Still steady. Looks like we'll be making small profits every season with sponsorship money being a big bonus before small losses throughout the season. So we'll need some substantial income soon if we're going to be able to produce the best players we can possibly can.
