Season 38

[Bluebird Hewitt]

Overturned my CL first leg result in style yesterday as Rhondda Rovers came from 3-1 down after the first leg to attack from the off and win 6-1, giving me a 7-4 aggregate victory. It came at a minor loss as inspirational leader Joe Hamlin was injured with a groin strain. Thankfully it's only for 2 days and should return tomorrow.

Got an interesting match against FC Dusha tonight, who is currently looking to attack with a 4-2(MC)-3(AM's)-1 formation. I intend to stick with my usual 4-4-2 formation, with the power training finished in time for Andres Stiegelman as a 6*.

[July Fourth]

July Fourth 6-2 FC Haute Savoie League Round 16
July Fourth 104.0 3N-1-3W-1-2 - FC Haute Savoie 89.8 3N-2N-2W-1-2

For the first time in about a week, our new prefered formation of 3N-1-3W-1-2 was available to us after Vasko has finally made his full recovery from a 6 day injury, We only had 2 bad results in this time, the draw against Colin FC and the draw in our 2nd leg of or CL last 16 match against Thai Team, everything else was a 2-0 win on average. Non the less, this formation does allow us to play a good passing game with players spread well round the pitch, in the first minute we got of to a flyer when Miku's decent effort from 20 meters found the top corner, Miku tried again from 30 meters later on but it was an easy save for the keeper, Then Metelus who had a brilliant game for our opponents got 1v1 against Seaman then put it wide, Michu then hit the post before Norris showed everyone how to score goals with a brilliant finish from just inside the area, In the second half Michu ran with the ball and beat the last defender and shot it past the keeper to make it 3-0, Then Haute Savoie found a way into the game by a free kick from Milsevic which Seaman fingertipped it over the bar and when the corner came in Camille won the header and Seaman caught it then lobbed the ball forward towards Miku who played it left to L.McNamara who skillfully beat a defender and laid it off to Norris to power it in for his second of the game, Savoie hit back despite being 4 down and both efforts came from Metelus firstly he got 1v1 against Seaman and took it round him to put it into an empty goal, then a Camille pass put him 1v1 against Seaman again and he curled it past him to score... the game was eventually killed off from the moment of the game, Norris with 2 excellent shots from mid range both beating the already demoralised Savoie GK.

Goals: Miku (1) Norris (25,52,87 HAT,88) Michu (48) MOTM: Norris.

We didn't have to wait that long to find another player joins the 4 in a game club since Michu managed it yesterday, Today it was Chuck Norris!!!

David Rocastle made it back to 6* quality after the game finished.
