HxF United's 2008/09 campaign is up and running, and the latest news involving that season will be posted in this thread. We began with July.

July Preview: July was the opening month of the 2008/09 season, and it was a chance for the team to come together and begin our push for Coca Cola League 1. Dispite our ambitions, the media have predicted us to finish 21st in the league. As you can imagine, I wasn't best pleased. So the team set out to show the world what HxF United were all about, as they kicked off with 5 pre-season friendlies in July.


The first job of the new season was to find out who we'd be taking on in the Carling Cup 1st Round. In a competition that has been full of suprises in the last few years, we are hoping to provide another one as we were drawn against one of the strongest teams in the draw - Championship side Bristol City.


In our first pre-season friendly of the 2008/09 season we stormed to victory in a 7-0 romp over lower league Hednesford. Matty Hurst gave the fans something to sing about with a hat-trick, meanwhilst captain Adam Rose provided an inspirational performance, managing to grab 2 goals which added to his 1 assist. Dikicacazki impressed with some fast footwork, which in the end led to him bagging 2 goals aswell. A perfect start to the season.


Another brilliant performance earnt us a big 1-0 victory over League 1 side Stockport County. Another fantastic goal by captain Adam Rose, who is getting into the routine of CB one half and LM the other, gave us the victory and also handed Rose his 3rd goal in 2 games. However the victory came at a price with the news that striker Andy Juarez will be out for between 5-6 months with a torn calf muscle. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery. On a side note, I'd like to point out that on the same day as our triumph Bury picked up a shock 2-1 win over Manchester City at Gigg Lane. United striker Matty Hurst won't be best pleased with the news.


We followed up our sensational victory over Stockport with a shock 1-1 draw away to Barrow. Dikicacazki gave us the lead in the 8th minute which looked like it would be the goal that would start the rampage - but instead we crumbled and in the 2nd half non-league Barrow got a deserved equaliser through Oli Clarke. The goal also signalled the first time that we had conceded in our first 3 games.


We got back to winning ways in fantastic fashion - with a 5-0 beating of non-league Bedford. Matty Hurst ended his 2 game goaless streak in tremendous fashion with a hat-trick. It was also pleasing to see the midfield duo of Jake James & Cody Wharton getting on the scoresheet, as we completed the rout with only 32 minutes gone. There was a worrying sign towards the end of the game as hat-trick hero Hurst went off injured, however his gashed arm will only keep him out for a maximum of 6 days.


The news just before the game that Tim Sills and Frank Sinclair had both signed for HxF United lifted the United fans, and it spurred them on to an impressive 5-1 victory over Portadown. United wore their snazzy blue & black away kit for the first time, and it looked like the kit was a lucky charm as captain Rose once again provided an impressive performance and capped it with 2 goals and a MOTM award, meanwhilst Thomas, Manetti and substitute Dikicacazki also got on the scoresheet.

Transfer News

Due to the high amount of injuries surrounding the United first team Kettle brought in 2 new faces in the shape of Torquay United striker Tim Sills and Lincoln City Player/Coach Frank Sinclair. The fans were seemingly happy with these buys. However United were dissapointed that Celtic winger Pat McCourt rejected a loan move to The Hatters, dispite the Scottish club accepting the offer. Also Kelvin Etuhu & Stuart Duff both rejected moves to United dispite, once again, their clubs accepting the offers.

Player Statistics

Captain Adam Rose & goal machine Matty Hurst were the best performers in July, picking up 11 goals between them. However in the assists charts it was Lucas Roberts who impressed, with a fantastic 7 assists in 5 games.

FACT: The two Adams, Rose & Wootten, were the only 2 players who played every minute of all of United's 5 games in July.

July Review
All in all, July was a very succesful month for HxF United, as they picked up 4 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses, scored 19 goals and only conceded 2.
2 Good, 2 Bad
2 Good - Matty Hurst (6 goals in 4 apps) & 1-0 win vs Stockport (victory over team in higher league)
2 Bad - Andy Juarez (out for 5-6 months with torn calf muscle) & 1-1 draw vs Barrow (dissapointing draw against non-league team)

What's to come in August?
Next month HabboxForum United's season really kicks off as they face 2 tricky games at home against Port Vale in the league, then Championship side Bristol City in the Carling Cup 1st Round. However before this United face one final pre-season obstacle, in the shape of Championship side Coventry City at Wembley. United complete the month with 3 tricky league games against Rochdale, Rotherham & Shrewsbury.
