One of the best days of every season. I recently had a string of golden generations, my first ever. That didn't happen this time, but I've had worse. I intend to offer contracts to 5 players. I also intend to give them game time as soon as possible. It won't be this season but next … Continue reading Youth Intake
Lommel SK sit atop the division. Ironically our paths here have not been dissimilar. Both finding form at the same time. We are separated by two points. Start of the season they were predicted to win promotion back to the division they were just relegated from. Earlier this season they spanked us 3-1 away. We … Continue reading Clash at the Top
So we have improved. No doubt about it. Since last tactical tweak we have barely changed a thing during games and we have taken control. The goals at time have played out exactly how I want, cut backs from the byline and finished off by Mezzalas or the shadow striker. The upturn in form stems … Continue reading Balance
Dropped fullbacks from support role to defend as we were beginning to ship more and more goals. This is how we lined up for our first game back. Dropped the Wingers back to support, on attack they were not giving me anything more than when on support, but I have added Player Instructions to get … Continue reading Back from the Break
Rather foolishly, I feel I am still adjusting my tactic game after game even when losing narrowly to teams who are favoured. My KISS implementation is awful, I'm throwing so much at the wall and nothing is sticking. I need to do some wheeling and dealing, I'm not even sure when the next window is … Continue reading Winter Break… Just in Time
As always after 13 games, its time to review. So, not far off where the board want us to be. Happy with our defence, majorly worried in attack. I need to get my young attackers trained to fill the Shadow Striker role. Problem is I don't think the role is working how I want it … Continue reading The classic 13 Game Review
No messing about. Continuing to work on the "Headless Horseman" - Dropped the tempo and asked the GK to distribute to the fullbacks. It was a great performance from the get go. Chance after Chance created, still not hitting the target with a high percentage but its the best we have looked. This will not … Continue reading It Begins to Click
We have hit a rough patch. Oh man, it wasn't long ago that we had won two games on the trot and I felt we were invincible. Well, I underplayed this before buuuuuut.. the strikers at my disposal are all young, dumb and … totally shit. The Game against AA Gent aside (They dominated us … Continue reading A Tactical Switch?
So the season kicked off. Home to Patro Eisden. It went well. Luigi, feels like we may become best friends at this rate. That driving run you get from a Segundo Volante is everything I love about Football Manager and fear at the same time (if one of my players can do it I know … Continue reading Losing is a State of Mind
