The board is delighted about FA Cup (Superb), and dissappointed with Charity Cup (poor)... Hello???

mackemforever Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I feel with you tomo... I did too, but it seems like we are starting to play football now. Changed 442 to 442 Diamond Wide, and after a couple of games I suddenly getting more and more goals from open play:)4-1 latest against Godalming, 1 goal from corner, 3 from open play (SC*2 + AMC*1) - had 8 out of 15 on target, which is some kind of a record Thanks for that tip. Just changed to a 442 Diamond and had my first good match in a while. Using a standard 442 I had played 8 in the league, won my first 2 and drawn the next 8. Switched to the 442 Diamond and won my next match 2-0, away from home, against a team that were heavy favourites. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersaint Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Glad I can help someone:) The record for me with the two different tactics: 442 Flat: 4-2-0 7-3 (6 open play) 442 Diamond: 4-2-0 13-5 (10open play) I scored 6 goals more and let in 2 more, which means it for me is a better tactic/formation. Even though I scored fewer goals from open play (8.77%), it creates so many more chances, and more goals from my forwards(5 vs 3) that I can live with scoring a bit more from corners:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDEHLSON Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 You got far enough Just started the new season. Got a few 5-star (assistant reports) youngsters but since 3 of 09/10's 5-star players werent good enough to warm the bench I guess it doesnt mean a lot But 2 are fairly promising (compared to previous year's 5-star flops) Tony Stone (F C) Stuart Gillespie (M R) According to my assistant manager they would be leading stars for most Northern League D1 sides.

ShanghaiNugget Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Just completed my pre-season, was tarting around the world for a bit of cash - 4-0 Whitchurch Utd Reserves 1-1 Deal 1-1 Blue Star (Sri Lanka) 2-3 Nooristan (Afghanistan) 1-0 Kickers (Afghanistan) 0-5 San Lorenzo (Argentina) 1-4 Vélez (Argentina) 1-0 Bridgnorth At least we won a game against a foreign team! And after looking at Afghanistan's national team, it's nice SI listed USA as a fierce rival. Two potential stars on my books are Marvin Lambert, a centre mid, and Micky Godfrey, a striker with an attractive finishing attribute! First league against Verwood, bring it!

tomo_whufc Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Well the half way point of the season has come around fairly quick, another season for Worcester Park which has been so inconsistent with us sitting fairly average in the league table. However, there has been some good points so far in the season. Due to the 'great?' youth facilities we have been able to bring through some first-team youth players. The best of the bunch is the left-back who started playing for me at the age of 15, Stuart Hall. The attacking midfielder who has been hit with a bad injurying but has come back stronger, Steve Dukes and lastly, the best finisher in the team, at a remarkable... 7! Matt Johnson. However, there has been one Mr.Consistent for me and that is, Dale Willmott, his peformance in the Tokyngton match was outstanding. Without him we could be much worse off! Even though the league has looked very dull, we have had one hell of a cup run! We were unfortunate to be knocked out of the FA Vase cup in the 2nd round but have been amazing in the Combined Counties Premier Cup knocking out 2 premier side and one division one side, the main highlight being the latest one, 2-1 win over high flying Cove. Also, we are still in the Combined Counties Division One Cup All in all, looking forward to next half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

york stokie Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Just reached half way through the first season with this challenge. I am Meir KA, and we are sat in 4th place joint on points with 2nd place after 21 games. Not a very exciting team to watch though, good defence but poor strike force means that only scored 11 and conceeded 11 in these 21 games! Best 4 players so far this season are regular back four, with 17 year old centre back Michael Russell looking like a good prospect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep UK Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 just been on a nice 7 game not conceding spree (don't know how) just 4 points off the leader and on a 8 game unbeaten streak, also i have only scored two goals from open play the rest are from corners and penalties (which i've had 3 games in a row!!) http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1896/grimsbyborough4.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersaint Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I just love some of the name of teams in lower league And sometimes the name combinations made by FM, makes me giggle. My DR scored a goal at home and I found myself saying "Dyke scores at the Crouch" One thing I dont like, is all the cups - After five months of the season (end of December), we have played 16 league matches and 17 cup matches. We have at least 2 cup matches and 26 league matches left. That makes it a total of 61 matches this season - last season we played 69 matches...

BlackEnd Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 @super - Thanks So far I am enjoying a fair amount of goodluck it seems. Almost at the end of midseason and i'm sitting at the top of the table. My strikers blow monkey bits, miss penalties, and score no more than a maximum of 3-4 goals every 5 matches but hey, a draw is better then nothing My defence seems to be quite amazing and has blocked a lot of goals. I'll post the league table once I reach midseason...a couple hours I guess if I can stop watching star trek Its funny how after a goal the commentary goes "The stewards struggle to hold the fans back!" and there are like 65 people watching the match lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
