Hey Sorry, I just read this post.
Had I known I would have played my bench second line up to help you out

Although it seems like you are no normal newbie, it looks like you know what you are doing, allow me to give you a piece of advice for a team like yours in situation like in this league, aim for the 5th spot, best spot to regroup for the next season.
Concentrate on building up your Arena, 9 thousand seating should be minimum seating before going to D3, anything smaller and you will struggle getting out D4 and even more in D3.
Good luck next season!!
We may get a rematch next season.
