QuoteGood Change report for 18-30 too, first time I've ever been happy with one tbh
I'm having a bit of a clear out now anyway. alot of my star players are getting on in years now and some will have to move aside for younger lads
Very happy with change report- only one player I thought would increase that didn't. In all honest, I think I would be the favourites for the First Division.
Just looking at the other teams there and it's going to be tight. Burton Albion's midfield is all 8 skilled and have a 9 skill striker also. Badger Gravy have a class defence (10skill and 9skill players in there) and the rest of their team is solid. Fags had a good change report and have bits of quality throughout their team, likewise with the Starlets. Definitely three from those five going up. I fancy us to go straight back up though.

not agreat change report for me,expected alot better tbh
Meh, so, so change report really. Bashford was the only drop and that wasn't a visible drop - he was out for a huge portion of the season.
How Mustoe is still a 6 is beyond me, been stuck at 6 for numerous successive seasons now, despite 10+ form each time.
Anyways:
Olausson up to 7
Aboyne up to 10
Ferriera up to 7
McKenzie up to 8
Ward up to 7.
I fully expect to get hit hard with retirements at the end of the coming season. This should be Camoranesi's swansong at 34 years of age. Geladaris, Sunnerborn, and Pearcy all at 32 years of age - this could be the current defence's last hurrah - still strong as fcuk mind you.
Reckon I can defo squeeze another season out of the current squad.
Boco the only real improvement for me, up to 9 skill now. Room for signings now with the two retirements so I will be making a few changes, not loaded with money though.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Risky tactic after working hard to get up? You might have trouble getting points if there's a influx of players without the heart symbol who won't care about a relegation fight...if you're in one.Originally Posted by Block G Raptor

that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
The average age of the squad is 35, so I'll have to get a few youngsters in regardless
Always good to hammer Harps
4-0
On my team page it says I'm a TWELVE skilled manager
But on the Team Statistics page I'm still on 8 one behind Lucanhoop
EDIT: OK just noticed we all got raised. Lucan you're a 13, Dmans a 12 etc . Must be a new way of calculating it.

Yeah, manager ranking for private leagues is now based over 6 months (like the xpert leagues) instead of three months as it was previously.

COBH RAMBLERS- FIRST DIVISION CHAMPIONS '07
Equality for the rams:(
Hows friendlies goin for the rest of ye?
Another 4-0 win today against Club 18-30, but still having serious trouble trying to get form to rebound
Two wins against top division opposition.
Having the same difficulties with the form as well. Going to spend less money on training than I usually would in pre season and see how it goes.
Had to break down and shell out for training, considering its just a week til seasons start and given that form is so low.
Same 3 goal margin of defeat in preseason as last season in Sligo. Hopefully that's a few cobwebs washed out of the back-up players and not a sign of things to come.
Might bring in the cavalry of Valentia, Davidsson, Di Napoli and Silverspjut or might not and leave out a few regulars that played tonight - form is ok, nothing spectacular though

I don't think I'm giving away too much to BGR to say that there might be a few changes to the first eleven on Saturday.

Was a weak line up alright. We were close to full strength, just no Geladaris, Aboyne, Ward or Alvarsson.
Form still hasn't budged ahead of our match against Sligo though despite winning 3 out of 3 and scoring 14 goals in the process. Kinda worried by our pre season form actually, the last two preseasons we were cr@p and had our highest ever finishes....hope good preseason form doesn't mean the opposite.
Sligo Rovers F.C. 0-1 Pants AFC
Cobh Ramblers F.C 0-6 Flynny Alberts
Provisional SRFC 5-1 Club 18-30
Landenstown Forest 3-1 Loftys Lazy 11
Wexford Boys 2-1 Drunk Babysitters
Not too bad of a result for me against a good team. Same amount of chances created, Pants just had a lot more possession. I take comfort in the fact that I've injured Camoranesi too) getting thumped

Our win was largely expected in the circumstances, so could afford not playing Maynooth, Piquet, Davidsson or O'Leary.
But Flynny Alberts winning 0-6 at Cobh who are active and are a decent team!
Sligo signed off in relegation with crippling Valentia. First game back and they cripple Camoranesi
