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

[sligoman]

Great win indeed. Your forwards ratings were excellent. The form of your players must be improving?

Yeah the forwards form is picking up alright. Burton up next, hopefully take something there as they've not started great and then that should put some space between myself and relegation(assuming Provo's and UCD can do the business against the other relegation candidates).

Given the poor performances of his forwards lately I decided to play a few youngsters in defence, which I wouldn't usually do away from home.

I think I read somewhere on the thread that he was away for my game but not sure bluebeard.

Yep, away for the last two weeks returned today (wish granted, oh Bluebearded one ). Our form and ratings were good and now it's in a mess..

Though flight out on the 13th, so

(a) Burton Albion 0-2
(a) Pants AFC 1-2
(h) Landenstown Forest 2-1
(h) Drunk Babysitters 1-4
(a) Flynny Alberts 5-0

Not a bad pick up of 9 points from that lot, especially at the Pantywell. By the DB game, the injuries to Boyle, Davidsson and Cobh all not being returned to the side took its toll.

[dancinpants]

Pants AFC - Flynny Alberts 1 - 1 (1 - 0)
Wexford Boys - UCD AFC 0 - 2 (0 - 0)
Burton Albion FC - Sligo Rovers F.C. 1 - 1 (0 - 0)
Landenstown Forest - Drunk Babysitters 1 - 1 (1 - 1)
Provisional SRFC - Sligo Starlets 6 - 0 (5 - 0)

fcukin own goal with 12 mins left.

[dfx-]

I really don't know where some of these ratings are coming from

Good to know I can leave out the old reliables upfront with confidence now if I want.

Sligo lost me steno's 300,000 by an injury time equaliser

[sligoman]

Sligo lost me steno's 300,000 by an injury time equaliser

ROVERS will help you anytime

[dancinpants]

As you were in the top 4:

Pants 2-1 Starlets
UCD 0-1 Provos
ALberts 2-0 Forest
DB's 5-1 Albion
Sligo 2-0 Wexford

Special mention to Loftys htting 8 today against Arrow Harps

Workman like performance from Pants today, managed to give Solund a wee run out today, Thilderkvist makes only his second appearance and nabs a goal.

[sligoman]

Happy with the win, shams up next.

The 'Xpert Eleven' team is very green...good manager though

[dfx-]

Maybe with that starting XI, you might bring silverware to Sligo

Great win at UCD to hold out from early on and great clean sheet. Boyle injured AGAIN.

[dancinpants]

Well beaten by UCD. Simply created more chances than us and took them. Their player ratings were excellent. 8 of the first team 26yo and under - Alberts successors?

Form starting to drop throughout the team now, form training having little effect - even on the young players

[sligoman]

2-2, happy with that Although shams hackers injured one of my defenders

[dfx-]

Elisson Everyone else was fine but him

Glad other results kept us second and especially valuable win at UCD looking at their 3-0 tonight

1,376,000 econ from Fergal Harte new doll enterprise and 600,000 from the Pools though

[dfx-]

Flynny Alberts - Drunk Babysitters 4 - 0 (2 - 0)
Landenstown Forest - Sligo Starlets 2 - 0 (1 - 0)
Burton Albion FC - Wexford Boys 1 - 0 (0 - 0)
Sligo Rovers F.C. - Provisional SRFC 0 - 3 (0 - 2)
Pants AFC - UCD AFC 1 - 0 (0 - 0)

Silverspjut and Davidsson step in

On a sidenote, in my Xpert Team yesterday, I crippled the 16 skilled goalkeeper of the no1 manager in the game and XCL favourite for the rest of the season...

[dancinpants]

Lads....how do you resign from a team? Want to get out of one of the leagues. Twice now I've been denied promotion because of league restructuring, and want a new challenge.

[ollie]

Going to be some amount p!ss taking on the training ground this week after this:

'Stevie Miller came home and found his girlfriend in bed with Leslie Gelsthorpe. The two ex-mates now have a frosty relationship which has affected their form negatively.'

[dfx-]

dp, there should be a resign option in the team settings two weeks either side of the skill update..

Barra Valentia accidentally left a petrol station without paying yesterday, and was 5 miles away before he realised. Panicking, he returned to see if he could sort it out. Fortunately, he got there before the police arrived and paid for his fuel. As it was clearly an honest mistake, no action was taken, and Barra Valentia continued on his journey much relieved.

[dancinpants]

Soundly theeeeerashed today - heaviest defeat in quite some time. Absolutely no answer to Alberts midfield and forward line.

[dfx-]

Sligo Starlets 1-2 Provisional SRFC

90th minute equaliser and 96th minute winner in a game that we should've had won. Slight title challenge was staring down the barrel..much weaker side with Debbi and Killaloe and fourth different striker partnership in four games...Phew!

UCD on fire at home

[Bluebeard]

You held us to 1 for 67 minutes though - I was beginning to think that you'd snatch the late equaliser this time.

Three major blows for the next game - Shannon injured, Kilorglin and Konda suspended - at least Konda's suspension coincides with injury, so there is still someone smiling on the Alberts. Must win game for both us and the Provos.

[dfx-]

A must win for us given the Goal Difference and a must not lose for Alberts or we might get another outburst of Norwegian (?)
