Live as you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever.
Hello everyone, newish manager here
Had a decent start to the season, unbeaten in first 8 matches but have drew 4 of them. Also went out of cup first round on away goals after two draws in the tie.
I'm on level 7
League: Buffs FC welcome 4th to Abbey Park. The opposition bring on theAssymmetric big guns in a 4-1-3-2. The boys use 4141 and open up at breakneck speed: 2 goals from Baxter (10, 30 mins) start it off, Gauld rams a FK (36 mins) and Hutton nods in a Morrison Corner (39). (Whee, I'd almost forgotten what goals from CKs were like but I suppose 1 out of 13 should go in >.< ).
In the second half Gauld was deadly from the set-piece again (59 mins). A new sub DMC (1 season wonder, I hope) came on with Mulgrew moving to MC and Henderson coming off........nada, nothing, nichts. 5-0 it finished. Hope that's not an omen for DMC
I might need to shuffle the pack on the CKs
And where was Harper? No one knows. 7
Baxter on the left rated 9, Gauld on the right the same and MCs in the middle 8s.
Palace teams report - dateline... today!
Casuals took a 4-2 advantage to Turkey for the 2nd Leg Cup match and won 1-0 (5-2 aggregate), recent recruit striker Liam Cashman opening his Casuals account with the only goal of the game in the 41st minute. Goalkeeper Zoltan Bieder made his 100th appearance for the Casuals yesterday, but reserved his celebration for today when he received the Man-of-the-Match award.
In the League, Casuals visited the League's whipping boys and thrashed them 5-0. Left-winger Omar Hansen has just recovered from injury, and was on the bench for the Cup match, so was rested and raring to go for this match. So much so, he claimed all five goals, including a direct-free kick and a penalty, jumping to the top of the goal-scorer chart in one go.
Insulting negotiation offer of the week - I think I'll hang fire for a while and keep his tokens occupied:
Terriers had their matches in reverse order, and visited Turkey for a top-of-the-table League match, and claimed top spot with a 2-1 win over the previous holders. Xabier Moran (free-kick) and Ondrej Kadlec claimed the goals.
Terriers Cup 2nd Leg match was at home, and they already held a 3-0 advantage from the first leg against level 3 opposition. Moran continued on from the previous match and had a hat-trick under his belt before the end of the first-half, and was replaced in a double substitution at half-time. Nathan 'Shoot-on-Sight' Masegela and Kadlec each scored one in the second-half for a final score of 5-0 (8-0 aggregate).
Desert Rats FC lost their 2nd Leg Cup match to Level 2 opponents 1-2 (2-3 aggregate), Taylor keeping up his impressive scoring run with the Rats goal; later on they drew their away league match 0-0.

Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...
2:2 draw in the cup, enough to advanced to the 3rd round and I don't have to pay out that win bonus. First 2 goals the defense has conceded this season, but it was also the only team we've faced that isn't abandoned so far.
Tommorrow champions league match, has us tied atop the group with 6 points. Ironically, the teams the loses this head to head battle might gain more than winner, as the winner looks to have two token buyers (combined 12 champions league titles) blocking their path to the final.
