Alas your form must have plummeted inbetween and 3-5-2 would have walloped you as they all had form of 16+. The match made me realise that I should have bought another striker instead of Löfkvist- he may be on his way to becoming MVP but having a third strong striker would allow for more flexibility in formation (and the win on Saturday).

    Should wallop Pants tonight though I reckon. Will finally get tactics right this season when I need to.

    EDIT: although most of their players will have just completed form training today. I still think we will win but maybe not as convincing as I first thought.

    Rest easy Dman, the form training had a very minimal effect.

    Provos look infinitely better equipped for the run in than us. Away to DBS and Forest next . Another season spent in 1st position only to end as bridesmaids again.

    You shouldn't have gone on holiday. I have to say I think it's the Provos' league now.

    I am confident about winning my four remaining games (also on course for one of my best CRs, av form wise at least). I may even pip you to second on GD.

    Seriously if I was making tactics today, I'd have picked very defensive, 4-3-3 and played Elisson upfront with Debbi. It has been that kind of day..

    Form isn't too bad. 10 overall against GoS, 9 at UCD and 11 tonight. Big difference I think is Cobh is contributing again and Hedman rated 6 last week and 13 this week. Lucky we have the likes of Haggander to take his opportunity when they struggle. The problem remains our defence as ever..

    I still expected a 3-5-2 - certainly not 4-3-3 taking that midfield out of the game against ours. Relish 4-3-3/3-4-3..

    I dunno where the confidence in us comes from - we're not called Permanently Second FC for nothing It'll come down to the game at the Pantywell, where recently, we're not too hot. Realistically we have to win in Derry to have any chance and still there's the two point lead as it stands that could become five. That's a pretty strong place for Pants to be in with 4 games left..

    The bottom looks like a dogfight down there. Dunno where our 0-4 win at Finn Harps came from compared to our results against the others down there..and Forest

    Ah well, 'twas a nice canter while it lasted.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    I thought you would only draw with Pants as you were away. League is yours now I'd say, unless there is a winner in the Pants-Provos game, which I can see been drawn.

    They were at home.

    Anyway...some really interesting results tonight

    Holidaysong FC - UCD AFC 0 - 0
    Finn Harps FC - Drunk Babysitters 4 - 1
    Landenstown Forest - Pants AFC 3 - 3
    Gates of Steel - Wexford Boys 0 - 1


    Happy with the draw...but disgusted that threw away 3-1 lead with 15 to play. But TBH I thoroughly expected to be beat today given the beating Forest handed Provos last time out. I reckon Provos will be happiest with todays results.

    ALOT of twists and turns left in this, as mathematically 5 teams could still win it, but alot of head to heads to come, Pants v Provos, UCD v Wexford, Wexford v DBS.

    I'm glad we don't have to go to Finn Harps in the run-in..

    Dman's jinx on who he expects to take the title works again..

    Provisional SRFC 1-3 Forest and a good beating at that.

    We have to win at the Pantywell...that's not a great situation to be in..

    The plan is working

    Fair play to Holidaysong- tactics spot on. Most of the chances in the game were actually FKs so draw was definitely fair result. Maybe if I bought a specialist instead of Loqfvist I'd still have a chance at the league...

    You've had a week to get your form in tip top shape. No excuses for not winning while Pants will have to have at least a couple of red arrows.

    Just looking at the player stats there and I'm going to get no prize money this season. Going to sell Mushi and Jesus to buy a high skilled defender/striker with FK. Might go 4-4-2 next season. Will possibly sell a keeper as well as don't see the point of having two beast keepers.

    MVP?

    At least we've taken it down to the last game, but I'll probably go to secure some more ME than go for it. Nice for the frees/penalties duo to prove the difference in their last home game together like many times before and especially Di Napoli to score.

    Pants are nearly there...

    Never noticed that. He's had a pretty poor season and on low form for most of the season except the last few games where he's finally responded to training.
