everyone's so annoyed at me

[srwlml23]

i am 9th in the prem with blackburn, played 12 won 6 drew 1 lost 5, but all the players think I'm under achieving all with (sit) on there name now i dont think i am under achieving so how can i make the players happy again, without giving contacts out to everyone, the board are happy.

[Madek]

Winning more would make them happy.

[Glenn Wakeford]

Try asking one of your players with a high influence attribute, such as your captain, to call a team meeting.

[prakimus]

did you set your expectations to higher than mid-table? because i think that can factor not only into board's perception but also your players.

You can do that on 09??

[dazbowski]

Ye, I don't think that will help!

At the start of the season what did you put down as your season objective, If you put winner then I would imagine that's why they think your underachieving, if this is the case I think it's a good feature as you can't now deceive the board to get more money out of them!

You can do this, I like it a lot!

[Glenn Wakeford]

You could do it the last couple of versions too, at least you could in 08. Can't remember about 07.

no mid table...

how do you do it then please

[robertodibaggio]

If you're playing 08 then it's cos Blackburn were a good team in 07/08. They are predicted around 8th by the media. If you're below that at the moment then you will get moaned at. Stangely I've just started a Blackburn game. Won 3, Drawn 3 Lost 6. The board ain't happy! In 09 I expect it to be different.

[srwlml23]

no im playing the demo and the media still said about 8th i said to the board at the beginning i will get a mid table finish

[MachinegunHead]

how do you do it then please

If I remember correctly you select your captain (or maybe one of your other influential players) and then you go down to 'player interaction' on the side bar. A new window should pop up with various options (i.e. compliment them on their recent performances, ask about possible new signings) and there should be an option to ask them to call a team meeting.

I may be wrong, but I am fairly sure that is where it is.

[homerjnick]

You mean (slt)

This is correct. It will only be there if the game deems you to be underachieving so if it's not there keep checking if you're doing poorly.

this is all i see

[srwlml23]

i always seen it as sit well you learn something new every day

[Wakers]

Try it with Ryan Nelson

Blackburn is gonna be a hard team to manage in this version - high expectations but a poorer squad than last year!

[d2024p]

What is your previous managerial experience? Players don't like it when a nobody comes in to manage the team unless you perform above all expecations.

[playmaker]

Take a look at Matches under the confidence section. I personally don't think enough credit is given to good results, compared to the negative reaction of poor results. My overall confidence in matches is below half way, yet I am unbeaten in six games and within my season goals.

[Wakers]

I think previous experience makes it too hard. Players get annoyed at you instantly if you have it on anything underneath former international footballer. I didn't notice the confidence issue, but remembering how bad it was in FM08 i wouldn't be surprised if its still not perfect.

[stevie_G_32201]

i dont think it was possible in 07 but defenently in 08 i loved this feature

[CaptainPlanet]

How have you done in cup competitions, and have you been beaten badly (big result against you)?

What exactly is there slight concerns when you click on them?

[iamweesel]

Bad team talks?

i always put it as professional footballer..

same with me, most of mine are ok even when i won away to aston villa 1 2

got knocked out of league cup on penalties, and on the player pages all say "has lost confidence in the managers abilities"

[srwlml23]

Bad team talks?

i always have a positive attitude, and never leave it to the assistant to sort out because this part of the game is flawed IMO

[lawsie]

i play as newcastle and i beat the first 3 teams i played against, i said mid table was my goal and after 10 games the players were all thinking i was underacieving even though i was sitting in 6th place one point off 5th place. For a squad as wafer thin as newcastle's and no money to spend even if i sell players its quite remarkable

[CaptainPlanet]

got knocked out of league cup on penalties, and on the player pages all say "has lost confidence in the managers abilities"

At what stage and against who?

Which teams did you lose against in the league?

If you've been winning against lesser teams, and losing against bigger teams and you're relatively close to the board and fan expectations in cup competitions and in the league, I would bug it.

Can you post a pic of your confidence summary?

[srwlml23]

yeah ill do the pic bit i was nocked out by west brom in the 3rd round on penaltys

[srwlml23]

but with this they have been moneing for a month

[srwlml23]

the players say they are happy.....:S i just dont know

[CaptainPlanet]

Between both the screenies everything looks ok.

I'd bug it.

Can you post an overview of your team screen, just so I can see morale levels and all the slts?

There are other possible reasons why, team talks, press conferences, discipline of players, changing captain etc. that can all affect the mood.

Even selling favourite players can make them mad.

[srwlml23]

behind the PR'S and WNT'S all say have lost confidence in the manager

[DevonSpurs]

Have you recently signed a player thay may cause unrest in the squad, a robbie savage, ghaly type of player, other than that, I cant see whats wrong, maybe it would be best to bug it

[playmaker]

Not really sure on this version, because I am still in the league cup, but the confidence before has never taken into account whether you played a team from the same division or higher. That may well be a factor in this case.

[srwlml23]

nope nobody to cause unrest

[DevonSpurs]

Its a strange one srwlml, hopefully wont carry over onto the full game. Seems to me you are doing well for blackburn, even the cup lost is just one of those games. Kinda realistic on this seasons form tbh!

[Scott McC]

I think with the PR ones, you might have said something in a press conference or interview?

[CaptainPlanet]

I'm thinking it's a team talk or press conference that they've taken exception too. Although with the press conference ones I've seen when they've been negative it's explicitly said "unhappy with press conference answers"
