That was certainly nerve-wracking.

Someone stab a guess as to why, after demolishing DBS, the form of most of my players has tanked? :confused: Just when things look good I have to go out of town for a few weeks :mad:
Gutted to lose that relegation 6 pointer tonight. It's made twice as bad by the shock win for Finn Harps. :(
WTF is right! You played wing plays against 2 good in the air defenders and a good in the air goalkeeper. :eek:Quote:

DP...your form has gone up so much, that the skill has duly increased and as with the change report, when the skill increases, the form plummets..it's a vicious circle
That only happens with the change report- there's never any skill change during the season. It's just random form tendancy. Nothing to do with winning or losing games.Quote:

Took a chance with tactics tonight but didn't pay off. Form still poor so don't know if I will beat Provos on Tuesday or not. Finally get a chance to play my best team but don't know if I will be able to because of form.

Looks like a new title holder - Pants? - and really surprised to see Holidaysong FC that far adrift...still think they'll rally late on.
Balls. Just ONE subtle (but significant) mistake in tactics for my last two matches results in 1/6pts when without these 6/6pts guaranteed.:( Stuff I wouldn't normally do as well.Quote:

Another 3-2 win, but useful ME gained this time around - kinda got out of jail too..
Have to say this focus of man-marking Cobh this season is proving dangerous and really bearing fruit for the other players - Boyle this and other weeks, Isgren last week :cool:
Another defeat by the odd goal. Oh well.. :(
Finally after 7 games I got my form at the level I want- if we play like that every week we will win all our games. Good news for lucanhoop is that our form is even higher after that match. :)
Even taking into account winning all our games against the teams above us, which is a must if we are to win the title, it is difficult to see if they will drop enough points from other games to allow us to capatalise as we will not win all our remaining games. I think we will get top 3 but close to call after that.

Won't last the week, but nevertheless, a better start than anticipated. It will make the slow slide to 9th all that bit more painful:(
Can you post the results Bluebeard? Can't access it from work and didn't get on last night. I hope my season isn't falling apart too much yet.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but a decent result that most newly promoted sides would be proud of.
Drunk Babysitters 1-1 UCD AFC
Pants AFC 2-1 Holidaysong FC
Gates of Steel 2-1 Landenstown Forest
Wexford Boys 0-1 Provisional SRFC 77th minute winner - the Boys edged it on possession, but the Provos had way more chances
Ah that's not so bad, hopefully form won't take too much of a hit and my first choice keeper is back now too. I'm just hoping I can get safe in time to give the younger lads 100% experience. I'll probably start throwing them in anyway, as long term it'll pay off more.
Possession: 54-46
Chances: 1-6
It was long past squeaky bum time - we scored with our last chance and Wexford's only chance came one minute later.
Then Pants got a last minute winner and Holidaysong FC missed a penalty at 1-1..

Got away with both Gates of Steel games, but it was the turn of Hedman to capitalise this week and a good result at The Crystal Lake..
A close one alright. The better team did win, but only just. A second very positive showing from the Gates against one of the best teams in the league, but no points on the table for either effort, and Harps win against Holidaysong drops us back into relegation spots. Our little canter may well be over...
Just back from my holidays...and my couple of weeks away from the puter looks like its gonna cost me dearly - form is rock bottom and beaten by Wexford. Our run in is rough too. GofS should be confident.
You should be safe dp, UCD AFC away for us next and a three point lead and a home game against us spare..
Plus, you are at least two levels better than we are. I predict a wallopping as the Pants come ever closer to that elusive first title!Quote:

:cool:
Any retirements for ye? Just one for me, Ozzy Hylander. No loss.
Signor Alfonso Di Napoli is departing. May be leaving a very large hole behind. 7 great seasons
Chuck Inglethorpe, was no Matias Westlin but a big loss all the same.
Goodbye to Mr Bernie Fielder!!
No retirements for me, athough I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.. :o
Somewhat relieved that I have no retirements either. And looking dafe now too, hopefully a win tonight to be really sure.
