Weird day in the EPL ... all matches finished 1-4 except for West Ham losing 6-1 away.
My 1-4 defeat was pretty awful... two key players, best defender and second best forward, both out of form, went 0-2 down, Giddy pulled one back, playing well on the win (not quite as good as Henry though
), then Edinburgh got two penalties and buggered my chances of a comeback as well as my goal difference.
Now down to fifth (
) but it's tight, I'm two points off third and I play them (Unruly) away next. Then the team above me on GD (M'boro, they hammered WH 11-2 remember) and then I have WH and Backwell last. So I'm hoping to sneak a draw away next, win over 'Boro at home, then win away to WH and home to Backwell
This season has gone pear-shaped as well and I'm considering selling my US defender and replace with a faster English one, even if not as good tackling. Then get a foreigner to bolster my midfield. I also have four forwards so I may sell one if I need the cash.
I guess I'm not bothered where I finish now so long as it's above 6th and I can rebuild for next season. I need to get a few extra star players if I want to finish in the top three every season... can't rely on tactics as much especially as I'm going away on holiday during next season which will probably bugger my team if only on form, let alone tactics, training, transfers, etc.
