Season 88 - Are you ready?

[talisman]

Desert Rats FC had a 9.6Q(39%) advantage over their opponents for their home League match this evening, and for an hour, it looked like the Troll was on. The visitors took a shock lead in the 9th minute, and the rest of the first-half saw the Rats playing catch-up, and failing. A formation and tactical tweak at half-time appeared to have made no difference, but when the Management decided to go for broke and change to 3W-5-2V (facing 5-2-2(AMW)-1) with attacking mentality and offside trap, and made a couple of substitutions that the difference showed. A few red packs were expended in getting left-winger Gary Cusack and striker Julien Renard to full fitness, and when they were introduced they showed their gratitude by providing assists to right-winger Emerson de Alencar Arraes and central midfielder Ireneusz Jezierski for the goals which took the home side into the lead. Striker Matt Goggin made the match safe ten minutes from the final whistle with the third goal in the 3-1 win.
