Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Lost 1-0 to a full strength Birmingham team. Without sounding too much like Damien, Im not too annoyed about that. 'Twas only the Shield anyway!
 
Right, I'm confused. With this new tactic, I struggled to beat Colchester. I had 15 shots, 10 on target, and 55% possession. All of my players had 8 or 9 ratings, despite scoring. They had 16 shots, 4 on target, and had no player rated above a 6.

So how do I know if the tactics shit or not? My players didn't score against far inferior opposition (they don't even have a manager), but yet got high ratings.

Only beating an unmanaged side on penalties a few divisions lower would suggest they were shit.
 
It doesn't even tell me which one of my players choked in the shoot-out :( I'll blame it on Gomes then.

Won 1-0 in a close game. My backup defender got a 7 week injury though! :mad:

I would dearly love to know how it was a close game, think most of my players must have played massively above themselves because it was primarily youth teamers playing tonight.

Match statistics were even. It was also my B team. Don't get but hurt!
 
I also subbed my 88 and 87 rated players with 67 and 70 rated players respectively. The goal was scored after that. But as you were... :)
 
MJJ(Sunderland) is listening to offers for Colback, 86 rated LB/DM.
 
100 quid and some pasties.

Pasties (sing. 'pastie'[citation needed] or 'pasty') are patches that cover a woman's nipples and areolae which are affixed with adhesive. Though pasties are commonly associated with burlesque and erotic entertainment, they are also at times worn as an undergarment and occasionally as beachwear.

Seems fair.
 
Feel a wee bit robbed in my cup game, went down 3-2 to Wolves. I had equal possession, more shots and more on target.

Friedel seemed to be the weak link with a 5, so did Leandro but he's a youngster.
 
Probably gone wrong somewhere but here's the injury league for Division 2:

:cool:

Unfortunately past injury lengths aren't logged anywhere. I know that while we've had the same number of injuries, the length of yours have definitely been longer on average. Quite a few of mine were for a week or less.

You fecking slacker, Damien, past injury lengths are logged in a player's History tab. Get with the fecking programme, you bone-idle dosser.
 
@SmITK: Zarlak reportedly lining up "I've not had time to pay attention to this" as excuse for his imminent retirement from the game - the real reason is that he's just shite. #Zarlakisapussy
