So I went out, left my laptop on... and windows update struck. Long story short, I now have the cup match to redo. I'll do the same as last time, and I'll also do a new post for the draw. League stats remain the same as the previous screen.

Still no goals in from manbearpig on set pieces. are you sure that hes on the near post? Hes got to be the tallest and highest jumping guy on the pitch by a mile.

I can look into it, I honestly can't remember.

We're all looking solid. As long as players don't get ahead of themselves and want to move away, you'll be fine. Rotation doesn't seem to affect our performances so that'll remain okay hopefully.

I think AFC Wimbledon might be a very doable draw for us actually :).

Yeah Wimbledon should be a good game!

Well, it would have been... I hate windows update.
 
Well that sucks! Hopefully we'll have a similar draw, providing we win the game again :).
 
Haha dude, that's why I save so often, ****** windows update deciding it will override whatever I'm doing to do an update!
 
I'm glad to see little jack getting so many tackles per game. Hes going to grow into a real knee buster when he grows up.

It should have autosaved that day, I just assumed it had which was why I left it... it's annoying, but it should mean that I won't have any issues in the near future with updates I suppose

He's progressing nicely, and starting to provide real competition to the other defenders now after a slow start. His recovery rate after games is a little disappointing though.
 
Yeah! Most goals out of the team and have less games than Jamie! I reckon you should try to play a 2 or 3 striker formation just once to see? And what am I getting trained for? Last thing, DRINKS ON ME! :P

It's Chorley away next, so it is definitely something I've looked at. I'm just considering the best way to do it.

Currently training quickness, your acceleration was only 9 and ideally we could do with a quick striker up top.

4-1-2-1-2? 3-2-3-2? And thanks. :)

If you use wingbacks you want to use a half back instead of a third centerback otherwise your defensive shape has no depth and to ensure your passing game makes sense If you use 3 centerbacks your centerbacks will pass to your wing backs before they're out of the defensive third forceing them to be on the backfoot. If you have a half back he will get the pass from one of the centerbacks and then pass it to a wingback near the halfway point.

I do quite like using wingbacks, it's something that I occasionally use. I won't be for the immediate future, as they aren't quite fit for the next match though. I'm also looking into retraining Whyte as a LW currently, I think he'd be able to do a good job. With only two out and out LW's, I could do with a 3rd, especially as Williams definitely does better when played up front.

Either way, there is definitely a formation change in the Chorley match.

How do you think Banana would do as a dm, also hows he being trained?
Click to expand...

He is trained there, so he'd do ok. Much like I'm looking at with Whyte, I suspect Banana could work further up the pitch. Given that he is a left footer, I'm going to look into him playing somewhere on the left as well, as it would mean he wouldn't have to cut inside.

Training wise, you are on crossing.
