Hi All…
Now I need your feedback as to how you want this blog to run.
2 things, I’ve started uni again and don’t have much free time for the next little bit. I have played 6 or 7 games ahead of time in the game world. Now I won’t have time to post all that often, [...]

Well, I think the pre-match says it all:
However, we did manage to give a good account of ourselves, without ever really threatening their control of proceedings. They approached the game with two deep lying DMCs, which freaked me out a bit as I didn’t really know what to do. These guys sat deep, but would [...]

December 1: I can register and unregister players on my roster in order to
December 2: I deregister the following players; Garcia Ruiz (my least favourite media sycophante striker) and Jordi Gonzalez (my right sided attacking midfielder who fits into my lopsided formation).
December 3: I look at what my scout has found over the past few [...]

I pissed off my squad before this game, this was a big error.
Going into the game, and without an AMC to mark, I reverted to my 3-2-3-1-1. With Garcia Martinez injured again at RWB, I shifted Borja Vila back to the right and (with hindsight) inexplicably returned young Antonio to LWB (not going forward) rather [...]

Well I got a little excited and played four games in a row.
They panned out as so:
So two wins and two losses: which puts me into 12th, 3 points from safety and, interestingly, only 8 points from the promotion playoff spots.
Sant Andreu
With two fit again left backs, but without my right wing back Garcia [...]

Before we get to the game, from having zero left sided players, I’ve now got two, with these two having come back within two days of each other.
My next match was against Lleida, who were 5th and I was 5.50 outsiders. However, if you were amongst the 579 who showed up – you were in [...]

But it took a 15 year old penalty taker’s cool, calm assured head to slot home in the 89th minute. This kid is a real revelation, and it will be interesting to see how he goes when my two left back/wingback/midfield players come back to full fitness this week. It also meant he signed his [...]

… and their house stayed intact.
For once, I started the match almost as favourites went in with an unchanged team, and was quietly told them that they could win tonight.
We got off to a flyer as Hector smashed the ball in from the corner of the area. I knew I quite liked him. All [...]

Welcome to another installment of my little world. I’m in a much better mood today, having just witnessed a turn around in my team’s fortunes. The press, the fans and even James from the United States were suggesting that Santa Eulalia and myself were perhaps not the right fit. Well Osasuna ‘B’ were the obstacle, [...]

… Worse.
Where in the last game I blame entirely the playing group, in this game I blame entirely myself, I should not have had the faith to make my team play attacking football. My suspicions were true all along – we’re just not good enough to do it.
I went for an adventurous 5-3-1-1 playing wide [...]
