Fond Foat Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 05/04/2014 - Serbian First Division MD23 Just a three day break. Put simply, if we want to get promoted, we must win games like this. Formation: Result I am just going to let the game description summarize this game. It was all a bit ridiculous. A couple of goals from free kicks and then flukes and freak goals to round it all off. In the second half I went to a counter style and we looked a bit better. I also think push higher up and more direct passing suits us as well. I will take the win, don't worry about that, but it was just a crazy game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fond Foat Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Tactical Tweaks I think we look more comfortable with counter. I also decided to use push higher up and more direct passing.

Fond Foat Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 12/04/2014 - Serbian First Division MD24 It is obviously very important to string together a couple of wins against the lower teams. I hope to see us win this one comfortably. Formation: Result I have to say this was a game where I got money for nothing. I didn't do anything tactical until around the 82nd minute when I went a little defensive. It was a strange game because while watching it, I always felt we were in control though perhaps the stats suggest we weren't. The most disappointing thing was that we could not extend the lead we got from a corner even though we created some great chances. The stats show they had quite a few shots but I was not to bothered by that. They did however get a lot of corners and there were some points when I though they may get an equaliser from one of those. So a boring old 1-0 but a very important result for us.

Fond Foat Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 19/04/2014 - Serbian First Division MD25 Dolina are a good team, but I was hoping to get some points because our last 5 games of the season are all against teams in the bottom third of the table! Formation: Result It was a very good game. Both teams were looking for a win and the football was open. I was delighted when Vukelja broke a striker drought with an excellent goal in the 30th minute but was then frustrated by the immediate reply...sigh. I was leaving the tactics alone and was rewarded when Vukelja got his second on the end of a great cross from Drogojevic. But they again equalised in the 79th minute with a lovely finish across the keeper. I had dropped into a defensive mentality after we scored our second but i should have also changed my full backs from attack to support. I went back to counter after their second but was happy to get a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formation: Result A professional display I asked for and a professional performance I got. It was an easy match to be a manager. The only change I made was asking my defensive winger to sit narrower. I was pleased that we took the chances we created; something we have been unable to do over the last few weeks. I was also extremely pleased to get 4 goals and give our goal difference a boost. It may well be a deciding factor in the promotion race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fond Foat Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 03/05/2014 - Serbian First Division MD27 Injuries to Boskovic and Babic meant we were a little short in midfield. Playing away from home has not been easy for me this season, and there was no doubt Mladost would be keen to avoid relegation. Fixture: Result An even game though we had far the better of the first half. After getting the first through some nice passing, we missed the chance to double the lead after Svonja missed a penalty. A one nil lead is never comfortable, and they made us pay in the 67th minute. I set up our roles to be more attacking whilst keeping a counter mentality, but we then had an injury in the 80th minute which left us with ten men. I still attacked and both teams had chances to win it. In the end, a draw was probably what both teams deserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really needed to make sure we performed well today and got the 3 points. Fixture: Result We started well and looked up for the game. Lekic got us of to a flyer. I switched to defensive and put both full backs on support. I felt we gained even more control over the game and it was just a matter of time until we got our second. We really should have scored another 2 or 3 before Lekic scored a brilliant goal. Three up at the half. I switched to control for the second half.

The top two gain automatic promotion, so I had to keep matching Teleoptik and Timok. The scheduling is strange. The last two games are played in the space of three days. Formation: Result It was another one of those days. We played so well, but simply could not put the ball in the net. The goal scored against us come from an untouched long range free kick that should have been easily saved. After we went behind, I tried to kept thing as per usual slowly tweaking up our aggressiveness the longer the game went, but we kept spurning chance after chance. The players looked composed according to my assistant manager even if they looked nervous in front of goals.

This gives me a chance to try some ideas with my tactic for next season as well as giving some other players a run. I will go into more detail about the tactic I am working on in a later post. It is still a 4-5-1 though. Formation: Result I have to be honest and say that I left things well enough alone for the entire match. I wanted to see how the new role distribution looked. All in all I was pleased with how everything shaped up. Of course, our opponents were bottom and my team was not the best one I could field but the new tactical ethos I have been thinking about does appear to be workable. It was pleasing to see Vujaklija score a couple of goals as I do have high hopes for him. So now I have to go about deciding who will stay and who will go!

Fond Foat Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 A New Tactical Philosophy While watching the World Cup a question came to me. Is the Football Manager definition of attack, support, and defend still a realistic way to consider how players and teams go about their business? The more I considered it the more I believed that all players are in essence support players. Determining how those players go about their business is dictated by the instructions they are given. This led me to look a creating a tactic that is based on all players being focused on supporting each other and trying to consider how the instructions I give them will adjust their play. Team instructions should also be kept to a minimum. If I set up players to use a control mentality with a balanced fluidity, why should I then ask them to be more direct or pass shorter as a unit? Surely it is more logical to ask a player in certain positions to pass as I feel is required. With that in mind, I have been developing this tactic for my debut in the Serbian Premier League. I did give one team instruction which is stay on feet. I just don't like having players slide in while tackling. The control mentality ensures positioning on the pitch should be a little higher and passing should be a little shorter. The main consideration was in the player instructions. How did I want these players to play in coordination with their roles? Sweeper keeper - This guy needs to support the defenders especially covering through balls. My only instruction is distribute to defenders. Ball playing defender - I hope to see him use the ball well from the backline. I do however want him to mark tighter to ensure he does not get caught out of position too often. Central defender cover - His role is self explanatory. There are no instructions to give him. Wing backs - With a balanced approach, wing backs will move forward when the risk is low. I want them to do this more so I will ask them to get further forward. I do want them to put some pressure on marauding wingers so I will also ask them to close down more. Deep lying play maker - The linchpin of a smooth transition. I will ask him to pass shorter. I do not want the DLP to get caught out of position whilst defending so I will also ask him to close down less, but to tackle harder. Box to box midfielder left - My left sided BBM is the more conservative and defensive of the two. I will ask him the close down more, tackle harder, and pass shorter. Box to box midfielder right - My right sided BBM will be the attacking threat. He is asked to get further forward, dribble more, and try more risky passes. Winger - I do want to see the winger pushing up so I have asked him to push further forward. I will also ask him to aim his crosses to the center. Defensive winger - He does not need any instructions. Defensive forward - This player will put some pressure on the opposition defence. I do want to see him be a little more attacking so my instructions are shoot more often but i will combine that with more direct passes to give him a option. What i like about this approach is when I want to be more defensive, I can just switch some players from support to defend. When i want to be more attacking, I can just switch some players from support to attack. The nature of a control menatality is that it can have its uses both defensively and aggressively.

I changed the DF(S) to a CF(S) and the BPD(D) to a DC(D). It may take a while to get a nice balance. The game itself went well, and I did not have to make any tactical changes at all.

Fond Foat Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 16/08/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 02 We were battered today. The only saving grace was we didn't give them a lot of easy chances. During this match I noticed my wing backs were getting caught out of position. I decided after 40 minutes to change to FBs. I also think i will remove close down more and add mark tighter in the future. I am also thinking of switching the DLP to a pure DM and one of the BBMs to a AP. We were always going to have some games this season where we were going to be up against it. I just hope they are few and far between.

I added the team instruction of be more disciplined as well. The game went very well for us. I liked the ball movement, but we were lucky to get the 2nd has they had a player off the pitch getting treated for an injury when we scored it. After the 2nd goal I switched to defensive and changed the DM(S) to DM(D). We saw it out very well. I am pleased to get out first win in the Super League on the board.

Fond Foat Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 30/08/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 04 Not much of note before the game. I left the tactic alone and hoped we could secure back to back wins at home. We started well and had a goal on the board from a corner on 26 minutes. We looked good again today and pretty comfortable. I removed the direct passes instruction from the DM as to many passes were going astray. We scored a second and it was a result of lovely passing from the left and through about 4 sets of feet before ending with Boskovic. After 78 minutes I asked us to drop deeper as Napredak were pushing forward and in the 85th minute I made my DM(S) a DM(D). They did hit the woodwork once, but I felt we dealt with them very well.

Fond Foat Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 13/09/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 05 This was only our second away game, and I was looking for a better performance than our last. I made no tactical changes until the 83rd minute when i switched to defensive. I am pleased with the shape we kept and how defensively stable we look. The goal did come from a corner and perhaps we are not creating enough good chances. Underneath the result, I will attach a couple of pictures showing how my CF played. I would him to be more involved. As can be seen, the CF is getting the ball just ahead in the AM/MC position and then passing off short. I have seen this during the games, but that has not bothered me as much as his movement. Always offside!! I asked to train him so he would beat the offside trap more often, but it does not seem to have made a lot of difference to his play. I will try run with ball more often even though my coach says he won't be able to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fond Foat Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 17/09/14: Serbian Cup 3rd Qualifying Round A game we were expected to easily win. I played a second team and they didn't look great. I did have to leave some injured players on the pitch because I needed to substitute three first team players for the next league game in three days time. I did switch from control to attack after 30 minutes and we scored. I left it hoping to get a second, but they equalized from a corner. I went back to control in the 70th minute and we just waited for penalties. I also got told that Vujaklija has quickly learnt to run with the ball more often, so it will be interesting to see how they works on match day.

Fond Foat Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 20/09/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 06 We got off to a flyer. Vujaklija scored from the penalty spot and then got on the end of some nice ball movement to double the lead after just 14 minutes. There was no doubt Javor pressed up and played with a higher tempo after that, but I had faith in our system. We did concede in the 33rd minute from a corner and they created some more chances before the half. We started the second half well and seemed to have gained control again. They had made three early substitutions so went down to 10 men when Miloviv had to be taken off. We saw out the rest of the game comfortable and probably should have added a third. I went defensive in the 83rd to help see out the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fond Foat Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 27/09/14: Serbian Cup First Round I again had to rotate a lot of players due to a game in three days. Red Star had to as well, but in their end their greater squad depth showed. I didn't worry about the match that much and left the tactics alone even after we went two down in a hurry. I switched to an attacking mentality after 70 minutes. The shock for me was that the board were deeply upset as they thought this was a competition we could win. They are a highly ambitious lot!

Fond Foat Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 27/09/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 07 The first half was slightly Dolina's. They probably should have scored in the first couple of minutes. The longer the half went the better we looked. We won a penalty just on half-time but unfortuantely Vujaklija saw his shot saved. My keeper is the best penalty taker in the team, so I guess I should use him. It all went pear shaped at half-time. I decided to let the boys know they were unlucky not to be in front, but did it cautiously. This was a bad decision as the whole team got confused and switched off. Our second half performance was woeful. I switched to attack in the 74th minute also giving the W, AP, and FBR the an attack duty. We didn't look like scoring really. Our first home loss.

I tinkered a little bit with player instructions which i will discuss in a later post. As for the match itself, I switched to standard after they scored in the 18th minute and then in the 86th minute I switched to defensive.

Fond Foat Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 18/10/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 09 Last years runners up Spartak were also second at the moment. We were equal on points with them and I knew this would be a tough test. The first half was tight early on, but Spartak looked like they were getting on top. I switched from control to standard at the 18 minute mark. There was an excellent ebb and flow to the game. At the half, I worked on talking to players individually and got a lot of positive feedback. The second half again was even, but this time we started to look the better team. At the 59th minute mark I went back to control. I felt we had a chance to win this so staggered some attacking role changes. At 69 minutes the winger went to attack, 79 minutes the FBR went to attack, and on 85 minutes the AP went to attack. I was elated when substitute left winger Lekic slotted one under the keeper in the 89th minute. I hastily dropped us back to standard, removed all the attack roles and made the DW and the DM defensive. We held on without any issues. Really pleased with the lads efforts.

Fond Foat Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Tactical Summary I haven't messed about with the formation at all. I have also found the support duties only theory to be highly successful. The ease of changing to being more aggressive or more defensive through simply switching a players mindset rather than the teams has so far seemed to work. The picture below shows how the players have been moving on the pitch. The white arrows indicates the highest position on the pitch with the blue equaling the lowest position. The CF(S) is still the most interesting issue for me. I would like him a bit higher on average, but I guess the opposition defensive line is determining that to an extent. The work of my DM has been excellent I feel, even though he is not getting the high ratings he should. I am also very pleased with my DWs workrate. I feel the roles all fit together well at the moment. My individual training has been reasonably simple. In the general training I cycle through these three every week. Balanced, Ball Control, and Tactics. I train tactics because I think it is important to build up decision making and composure. The individual training is focused on training each player for the role they have been given. I also have them training for position if they need it, and a few players have PPMs on the go. There are one or two players I have on stamina or speed training simply because their role requires that from them and they are lacking in that area of their game. I only leave players on individual focus for a month at the most. I have the reserves and U19s training in the same way. My match training is set to teamwork. Before away games it is changed to defensive positioning and before home games to attacking movement. Finally, I have tweaked the player instructions a little, and I can't see any more changes for awhile. SK: Distribute to defenders DC Cover: None DC: Mark tighter FBs: Get further forward and mark tighter. DM: Pass it shorter. AP: Pass it shorter, close down more, and shoot more often. BBM: Get further forward, more risky passes, dribble more. W: Get further forward, cross aim center, close down less. DW: Hold up ball, close down more, shoot less often. CF: Close down less and shoot more often I never use Opposition Instructions and I just try to choose Team Talks that replicate how I feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fond Foat Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Cheers Cellist. This save has been very enjoyable and the way this tactic is beginning to take shape is very interesting. I think a support duties only tactic reflects a team that does not rely on individuals but the team trying to work together as consistently as possible. It does mean that sometimes we don't look overly dangerous, but we are getting results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fond Foat Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 26/10/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 10 A big test for us today. Away against Red Star. Red Star had been pretty busy with their Europa League fixtures and were in 6th position coming into the game. The game was similar early on to the Spartak match. After 25 minutes I switched to standard as Red Star were forcing us to turn over the ball too much. The rest of the half went slightly in Red Star's favour though we were still creating our own chances. The second half started well but Red Star started to push us more and more. I wouldn't say we were hanging on, but the defense was having to play at its best. I noticed that quite a lot of the Red Star players were getting more and more nervous as the match went on. In the 70th minute I brought off Boskovic and moved Cordasic to BBM. I noticed that he seemed to get further forward than Boskovic did. In the 84th minute Red Star had two players carrying injuries and were looking pretty nervous, so I switched back to control, and changed my W(S) to W(A). I was elated to see Babic run into space that my winger left behind him and hit a perfect cross to Cordasic who had raced into the box to score the winner. Elation! An away win against Red Star. I felt we could now say we belong in the top league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fond Foat Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 01/11/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 11 I was hoping we could keep our winning streak going against 15th place OFK Beograd. It was a frustrating match as we did create some great chances. Lekic in particular could have scored a hat-trick from the wing but kept blazing the ball all over the place. I tried to slowly up the pressure on them throughout the game. I changed my W, AP, and FBR to attack over the course of the second half. I also made my DM a Regista for the last 20 minutes. The DW had a couple of chances near the end and Vujaklija had a great shot saved. A draw is better than a loss but a little disappointed we couldn't take the 3 points available.

We didn't ever really get into this game. After going behind early it took until the second half for Tanusev to get us level. Even then, it did seem we were second best and it was no surprise when they took the lead back in the 77th minute. I went into an attacking mode but we were unable to get anything out of the game. Originally I was very upset, but I decided to tell the lads they were unlucky and reminded myself of my goals for the season. We are a mid-table team, so I shouldn't put to much pressure on ourselves. During the week I got offered €3 million for Vujaklija. I have accepted the offer but I am not 100% sure I will sell him.

Fond Foat Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 22/11/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 13 Some days you are just not meant to win. I switched from control to standard after 15 minutes. I am starting to think I should use standard away from home. It was an even affair but I felt we were shading it. We broke the deadlock from a set piece in the 31st minute. After half time I made my AP(S) an AP(A). I just wanted to see if this gave me more creativity. They then got a red card in the 55th minute. As we crossed over 70 minutes I put the AP back to (S) and made my DM(S) a DM(D). All of a sudden Vozdavac were all over us. Every time we had the ball we gave it away. I switched to defend, but they equalized. Now, I went attacking but we couldn't score despite hitting the post 2 times in the last 5 minutes. As I said, some days you are just not meant to win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fond Foat Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 26/11/14: Serbian Super League - Match Day 14 I really wanted a win against the bottom team. We had gone 3 games without a positive result. After 10 minutes I switched to attack and we were rewarded in the 16th minute. I went back to control after 30 minutes and then went counter after 40 minutes. In the 50th minute I decided to again return to attack and Schouw scored our second. In the 80th minute I went to defend and we scored a very nice team goal in the 88th minute. A little annoyed that we conceded straight away, but it was still a solid if not brilliant performance.
