Day 12 - Palace teams update...

Just got some time this evening to give a short update on the progress of the Palace teams this season.

After their first round exit from the Cup this season, Palace Casuals only have the League to go for, and despite not being amongst the highest-Quality teams in the League, they're really going for it. With some battling draws against higher-Quality teams and only one defeat, this against a team whose manager attended where the Casuals Management could not, and were well beaten by a tactical change the turned a 2-0 lead into a 2-3 defeat. On the playing side, two players have left after realistic (ie >0T) Negotiation offers were made, goalkeeper Roberto Gonzalez and ST/AMC Massimiliano Gerini, and a replacement 'keeper drafted in, from the Scout list as the few 5* goalkeepers available in the TM are not worth the token or fought over tooth and nail.



Palace Terriers are down to two competitions, having been bounced out of the Cup in the second round after a typical Nordeus Cup tie, a 'superb' performance away and a 'poor' performance at home - this now happens every season, it's predictable, and getting very, very frustrating. No changes on the playing staff, and the Terriers are registering a few defeats, but nothing to get the Management reaching for the chequebook yet. Several players have reached appearance milestones of 100, and in one case, 150 appearances, and it seems that the constant staff is turning into consistent performances on the pitch. Terriers are currently top of the League, and poised for qualification out of the Group stage of the Champions League, top of the Group with only a game against 2nd place to come.
