Xpert Eleven-Foot.ie league [NEW TEAMS WELCOME]

Theres life in the title race yet. Provos beating out the Alberts 2-1. Still a battle going on for 3rd too between ourselves (beat the DB's 2-1), DB's, and Forest (2-0 winners over Burton) - only 4 points between the 3 of us. Borgstrand back on the scoresheet again.

If we were on stronger form I'd suggest we could capitalise on a Provo or Alberts slip up. But the form ain't strong, and those two I don't see slipping up.

Other games:

Wexford 3-1 Starlets
UCD 3-0 Sligo

Wexford puttin a wee bit of pressure on Sligo? 5 points ain't alot when 15 are up for grabs.

Helge Callenmark's 89th minute equaliser ruled out for offside :eek:

He may decrepid, but I think Davidsson will do as he is. Great result and finally gets us away from 3rd and fourth and a proper look at the top, but now we have DB and Forest away, so a look is all we'll get. :(

Cobh pegged back by Holidaysong despite getting a draw at Pairc Aban Naofa in the First..

Yep, we definitely need 3 or 4 more points to stay up imo.

Holidaysong FC are the form team in the first division at the moment.. Next up is a huge away match for us against leaders Lofys Lazy 11.

Back to the same aul crap for me again, losing 1-0 to fecking Starlets:mad: I don't deserve to stay up really.

Terrific away win :)

7 from 8 away, 5 wins in a row. Forest away next :(

Big win for Holidaysong FC last night! Massive round of games up next in the first division; 1st vs. 2nd and 4th vs. 3rd..

With just 4 games remaining, it's a must win game against Cobh if I'm going to go up in my first season.. If not then I'm in a strong position for next year. :)

looks like another season in the bowels of Irish football for SRFC :(

Well, I can try to help you with that tomorrow if you like - you just have to pick the correct team, and I'll take those three points away that are distressing you:D

I was trying to decide whether to play my strongest team against you or play a few fringe players to get their experience up. I decided on the latter as I know I'll be heavily defeated either way:D

Damnit man, don't say that - you'll jinx us both:eek:

Strongest team sligoman....we kept youz up last year ;)

QUESTION:

Against Forest, our team ratings were Defence: 9, Midfield: 10, Offence: 4.

But my lone striker had a match rating of 10.

So anyone know whats with the 4 rating? :confused:

4-5-1 would be an inherently very defensive formation which would affect it especially at home I think. Also the much higher ratings in defence and midfield.

Yeah but Alberts are a good side, that's the difference;)

Anyone else having trouble logging onto xpert eleven tonight?

Fair enough, you've no chance so..:p

Should be in fourth tonight if things go as I expect. Pretty confident of securing fourth but another season of what could have been due to some dodgy results (losing to the Sligs :o)

What a game to forget to log in for. Reckon I would have got the three points if best team was out, as illustrated against Pants just afterwards.;)

Perhaps in three seasons time when I have a first XI of 10 skillers.:eek:

Two point gap I reckon after tonight. If Sligo's form doesn't pick up I wouldn't be surprised if they went the rest of the season without picking up a point...
