SnakeXe Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Good luck with England Some tiny keepers you have there... Thanks! They are a bit small yeah. And not great to be honest. Do you miss Newcastle. Not yet, although I'm sure when things start going pearshaped I'll yearn for players who do what you ask them to 99% of the time. And an England international playing for Shamrock Rovers Indeed! He's off to Huddersfield in January 2039 so he'll be in a proper league soon. Very tidy technical player, no idea how he ended up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeXe Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Another good performance let down by some slack defending - Albania scored from their only two attacks. I gave Oscar Hall a shot in Wakefield's absence (N'Shole is suspended for the Moldova game) to reward his 6 goals in 3 appearances so far for Cardiff this season and he didn't let me down, grabbing a great goal. Moke was the obvious star man, two great goals from midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeXe Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 A professional display that could have been a rout but for the profligacy of Oscar Hall. Fair enough he did his job in opening the scoreline, but he missed at least 4 or 5 chances he really should have put away thereafter. Thanks, Mr. Hall, but I don't think Wakefield or N'Shole have much to worry about in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit of 'teamwork' in the match preparation would help?Some good options up front. How are you setting up your strikers, out of interest? Love that you've got David Seasman as one of your keepers as well! Well as you could guess from the Georgia result, they're not especially gelled yet! It's weird, I'd have thought that using a really standard formation such as 4-4-2 (which was the default tactic when I got the job) would mean they'd already have a good level of understanding of the shape at least. At the moment I've got John Holland as the deep-lying forward, with Andy Wakefield (ideally although I've only managed a couple of games from him due to injury) as an advanced forward. I don't think this is optimal though. I'd like to do a 4-4-1-1 variant as well to improve the link-up with the midfield but only Delando Moke is of the requisite class in the AMC position, so I don't want to put in the effort developing it only to have to scrap it if he's unfit, out of form or injured. I also love David Seasman did a double-take when I first saw him playing against me for Man Utd! Some cracking updates for England . Very detailed. Thanks! More surprising is there is one from Wigan. Not to be facetious about it but haven't Chris Kirkland, Leighton Baines and Emile Heskey played for England (or at least been called up) recently whilst at Wigan?

There looks to be a massive lack of talent with England compared to the start of the game! Thanks! Yeah it's weird. There's a few players who were fantastic that are just about to retire, hopefully that means we'll get a few more talents coming through. Emeka Cole at Newcastle should be top-class if he's managed well, so I have high hopes for him. In fact I might cap him soon in a friendly to give him a rep boost to ensure he gets some game time. Excellent final season with Newcastle- very nearly a clean sweep!Bit shaky with England, but I imagine you'll still qualify comfortably. Thanks, yeah it was almost the perfect second-half of a season, storming back to win the league, taking both domestic cups, just couldn't quite manage the last bit. We really suffered from an injury to Andy Wakefield with a couple of months left, Maciulevicius just doesn't have the legs to cope with 3 games per week any more and Cole was too raw to contribute much. Left us struggling against the very best teams really. I hope so indeed! I might start watching games a bit more closely to tweak the tactics around and get more out of the players. If I can sort out a way to get Preston regularly feeding Wakefield/N'Shole/Holland we should have no problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeXe Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 A really great performance, the tweaks to my tactics worked very nicely. To begin with we went 4-4-2, but with attacks funnelled through our top-class left side of Joseph and Preston. This was effective, and surprisingly N'Shole and Wakefield combined well as a pairing in Holland's absence. In the second half I tried a 4-2-3-1 based on my system with Newcastle, based on the fact I had the combination of Breach, Moke and Wakefield who would all be familiar with their roles. Again, it worked well, and I will experiment with it again. P.S. Does it look ok screenshotted in the match report? It saves me a lot of time.

SnakeXe Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Branko Eric breaks a foot and he's out for 3 months - a severe blow with our lack of quality down the right. I decided to bring in young Anthony O'Hara in from Arsenal's reserves - he could be good given some game time, so hopefully this will draw some attention to him and either get him a move or some game time for the Gunners.

SnakeXe Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Definitely the best result of my reign so far, Russia started very well but then a couple of tactical tweaks to crowd out their centrally-focussed attacks changed it in our favour. Wakefield finally got his first goal of my reign in a good break-away goal, after which we hit the woodwork a couple of times before Phil Bond produced a lovely pass on his debut () to set up N'Shole for the clincher.

Overall encouraging though, and we got the job done, which is more than could be said for our previous competitive match!

Fortunately the board seemed to get it right with their second go at replacing me, after the first guy had us languishing in 16th earlier in the season. Painful to see my squad broken up as well - Krivokuca, Vujadinovic and Cardinal have gone with Moke, Sedat Yucel, Busao and Breach pretty certain to follow. Maciulevicius was only given 9 appearances - just 2 starts. A shoddy way to treat a club legend.

Nobby_McDonald Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not to be facetious about it but haven't Chris Kirkland, Leighton Baines and Emile Heskey played for England (or at least been called up) recently whilst at Wigan? Erm... yes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
