They were fairly old though..they've three 39 year olds in their squad.

It wasn't one of Cici's famous retirement homes was it:D

Normal with 343 away though is suicide unless you are definitely the stronger team.

dfx I don't think tactics is enoughh to warrant a 6-2 mauling. Is form really low? Jesus, completely over shadows our win over forest :D

Burts are obviously to be watched...strong midfield and forward ratings. DBS back to their best? And GoS start with an impressive draw at Loftys. This could be a really interesting season - might be worth going VIP again. Mind you results are improved since I dropped it. lol

Happy result yesterday. Probably worth the draw too, what's more: first day luck. Well, Wexford will be a different proposition, I fear.

We won 3-6 three days beforehand with the exact same team but with tactics.

The default tactics are set to offensive..which is why we gave away so many chances and no Cobh, Breen on low form, Melet etc.

Same team went 343 this week away against our main rivals who went 352 like me and a similar skill level to us. They were held to a 2-2 draw having created double the chances..so obviously it does work.

I'll tell you what. To make up for this, how about I let you have your final three games of the season at home instead?

It's not that bad...but you have way to many. 6 would be standard, 7 should be the most you have at any time depending on how many youths you have. I'd sell three of them and buy a a few youths there as you only have a 19/5 for the future.

Rather have them at the start of the season actually, had a poor start last season and that caught up with me for promotion on the final day!

Nah, never play bruise. Need to save up and buy a keeper with good positioning or something. 20% of goals conceded last year were direct free kicks ffs. Up to 25% this year already :rolleyes: , lol.

Free kicks, eh?

Thanks be to feck I had set tactics at the start of the season, stuck in Dublin all day. New 7 skill Midfielder didn't play either so great result.:)

Ouch took a real hammering in that game and lie just above the relegation zone.
17/10/2009, 8:53 PM
Mr A

Another good result tonight. Cobh certainly look to be the team to beat in this division though.
17/10/2009, 10:40 PM

After a number of lost years I reckon I should be pushing for promotion at last this season...so far so good...long way to go yet:ball:

Result alright last night! And deserved too.

Just a shame we'll prolly end up losing now on Tuesday to Sligo instead of building on the win.
