Round 8 - Previews and Results

[Kynaston]

Won 3-0 away, 12-4 SC, not bad, just wish i hadnt slipped up last week. Leaders won 6-1, i stay 5 points behind in second.

 

[michaelowe]

Won 7-0 but top won 5-0 so am still in second

Running out of time to make Div2 unless I can get a pomotion from second, but doubt will be many inactives in div2. Anyone got an insight?

 

[Pontefract City]

Dunno but I'm second in div3 as well, though I think I can win the league...only one point in it. There will be a few inactives cast down methinks but not many.

Paul, I think there's a trick to it. Try playing your better attacking midfielder say, a pixel lower down in the tactics screen. I think the sim picks the furthest one up to fill in in defense.

But don't quote me on that, it might be the other way around

 

[Pontefract City]

Well I have made sure that they are both in line so I guess it may have been random, or maybe it was because he plays on the right as does my captain.

 

[Ash]

Could also be how close to the side of the pitch they are. I'm sure I saw something about the midfielder closest to the wing moving back into defense if there's a sending off.

My games just started: 0-0 so far versus the top team. I'll let you know how it goes.

EDIT: woohoo! 100% home record maintained thanks to 2 goals, including a late winner, from Olle Jakobsson.

So now I've beaten 2 of the top 3 teams at home... it's just a shame I can't win away

 

[Rami]

Me and 2nd place (By 1 goal difference) both won 3-0, standings stay the same

Argh, I really hate Ham feckin Rangers. I was leading 6-0 and they injured my makeshift striker three minutes before halftime (who had scored four goals within the first 39 minutes - roughly one goal every 10 mins!).

He got replaced by a crap ex-youth who, funnily enough, somehow managed to score. But my attack was further weakened by that injury and we only managed a further two goals in the second half because of it. And now I have to hope he isn't unavailable like Tosh as well.

Final score was 8-0 so I'm pleased with that, but not with the injury, I wanted Hayden to score at least six.

 

[Shark]

Hayden's got 4 in shooting, hasnt he?

 

[pauly]

That win for young Ash there has thrown our league wide open now, easy 4-1 win for me, bring on Backwell next week!

 

[chris boston]

Five and not maxed, strange he's doing so well when he's my weakest midfielder and forward.

Edit: unavailable injury ffs

 

[UltrasViola]

Nice to see that my new striker bagged a hat trick

:Bow:

Huge debt to my "panic buy" 9-ball swede...

20 minutes in I was 2-0 down, 2-2 in SC. A proper bit of and :s***: going on at my computer screen watching it in Analyser.

Swede gets one back just before half-time. Swede gets another 4 in the second half

5-2, 25-6 in SC, don't want to see my team do that EVER again...

EDIT:

New league table, Chesham and Gareth both won 7-0:
