The effects of form are way to drastic!

This is just one example, but this happens all too often in my saved game, and lots of others are seeing it to especially in the lower leagues. Form is way to drastic, and the decisions of players during a bad run is jsut plain silly.

My club was a 6 game winning streak, and all was going well. A few games left in the season and I am pushing for the league title and trying to maintain good form at least for the playoffs.

Then......while winning 1-0 against Fleetwood they score in the 78th minute. Whatever things happen. Then.....in the 92nd minute they score from a brutal give-away and just a bonehead play from my LB. It is a crushing goal.....because I know my form is gone now and my team will immediately flip to a losing streak.

Next game.....going in I said to myself I am gonna get beat here.....by an inferior opponent who is 10th in the league. Sure enough......my team absolutely forgot how to play football. Can't pass, can't think, can't defend, etc....

The result:

It is just absolutely stupid. Sure teams go on winning streaks and losing streaks, but it isn't predictable like it is in this game. SOmetimes you can almost predict who will win the game just based on the previous results alone, and in my opinion current form is more important that strength of squad or tactics. But my biggest beef is the way the game portrays it. When I go on a bad run of form all my players completely turn into absolute bum. Passing back to the the other team with nobody around, heading balls in front of my own keeper, etc....it is just dumb.
