International Caps Update

Lewie Roberts - 4 caps, 3 goals

Jamie Williams - 3 caps, 0 goals

Kevin Post - 5 caps, 0 goals

Phoenix Firebird - 1 cap, 0 goals (game to be played still)​
 
What is Post's average international rating so far, knowing that he plays for a real minnow of a country?

I've hit some good form lately, 2 upfront doesnt seem too bad after all!

With some tweaks to the tactic, I've managed to counter the lack of CAM which was causing problems. The link up play is a lot better now, and I'm more convinced by the tactic.
 
Have i had any u21 caps yet? Or would i rather go down the welsh route?

Teamsheet: OXFORD CITY (H) (18/11/14)

(4-4-2)

REDGRAVE

THUNDERFOOT THOMPSON MANBEARPIG BANANA

LITMANEN YAKIN II PALMER HOGG

ROBERTS WILLIAMS

Bench: SCHWARZENEGGER, POST

So, with only 13 players available, the 4-4-2 formation is largely dictated by the players we have left. With only 2 recognised players on the bench, if we are required to swap things around we may be in trouble. We do have 3 N/C players on the bench as well, but they aren't to be used unless necessary.

Roberts showed little sign of fatigue as he fired through the crowded penalty box after 8 minutes. 10 minutes later, Williams benefitted as Palmer smashed one into the post; tapping home with ease. A first goal for Manbearpig soon followed, as did a goal for Hogg. Some disappointing defending did see Oxford City pull one back though.

An injury for Palmer saw a reshuffle, with Litmanen shifting into the centre, and Post on the right. The game wound down after that, and apart from Hogg being lucky not to see red, we won easily.

Ratings: Redgrave 7, Thunderfoot 7.2, Thompson 7.9, Manbearpig 8.4, Banana 7.7, Litmanen 7.1, Yakin II 7, Palmer 7.5, Hogg 8.7,Williams 7.3, Roberts 8. Subs: ​Post 6.7

Seems strange that England u19 can't manage to send players back soon enough for them to play English league games :(
Oh well, a win with 13 players isn't bad!

They always say you need more than one tactic! We're all doing well! When's the next shot of how goals and assists we have?

Teamsheet: WORCESTER CITY (A) (22/11/14)

(4-4-2)

REDGRAVE

BANANA SCHWARZENEGGER HARRISON FIREBIRD

MASON PATRIK DANCE BAKER

GOYZUETA WILLIAMS

Bench: YAKIN II, THUNDERFOOT, PETERS, ROBERTS, MANBEARPIG

With everyone back from international duty, we can put out a full compliment for this one. Goyzueta starts ahead of Roberts, whilst Mason and Baker return to wings. Patrik beats Peters to the centre of midfield.

A deflected Banana freekick gave us the lead, after it completely wrong footed the keeper. Goyzueta scored moments later to give us a real stranglehold on the game. Baker gave us a third on 12 mins, with a powerful finish. Goyzueta latched onto a long ball and rounded the keeper for our fourth, before having his hattrick taken from him with an OG.

Goyzueta did eventually get his hattrick though, smashing home a Mason cross. Roberts' first touch saw the ball in the back of the net, as we threatened to run riot. Once again, we failed to keep our clean sheet. Baker got number 8, with Roberts escaping the defence to get number 9. We couldn't hit double figures, but Worcester had a man sent off late into injury time to compound a miserable day on the pitch for them.

Ratings: Redgrave 7.9, Banana 9.3, Schwarzenegger 8.7, Harrison 8.5, Firebird 8.7, Mason 9.1, Patrik 9, Dance 9.1, Baker 9.6, Williams 8, Goyzueta 9.7. Subs: Thunderfoot 6.7, Roberts 8.6, Manbearpig 6.6

11 days through concussion, not too serious. Reasonably well, decent enough performances for that level.
 
all the players should send in a picture of themselves to go with the player profile! haha
