So first off I am a Canadian who doesn't know a ton about the sport. I got the game on the steam sale and got addicted quickly. I read a bunch of guides and read up on forums and I seemed to be doing alright.
I started as the manager of Dagenham and Redbridge, and I did pretty good for my first season, getting a bunch of good free transfers, and some good free loans. I was in first place for a while, but then I started losing games like crazy. I lost 3 of every 4 games for the last quarter of the season and dropped to tenth.
I started the second season with more good signings and loans, but I still just couldn't win. I tried everything, attacking, defending, rigid, fluid. I tried so many different tactics and absolutely nothing seemed to work. If I went with a big attack I would just concede a bunch of goals and only put up one or two. If I tried to defend I would just lose games 1-0 or 2-0.
I eventually got fired, and thought it might have been Dag and Red that sucked, so I signed on Walsall as the same manager. It hasn't got any better at all. I've honestly tried everything. Every kind of tactic, strategy, giving my team easy friendlies to boost morale, and I just cant win. I think in about the last 20 games I have played I can think of 2 wins so far.
I even tried a save as Barcelona and I drew 0-0 against Millwall in a friendly, so I must be absolutely awful or this game really doesn't want me to win. So I ask all of the pros here, what the **** can I do? I must be doing something completely and totally effed up.
