Season 90 - Are you ready?

[talisman]

Home Guard FC had another midnight+ kick-off, away to 7th in the table, but this time the Management was about to look after them, and a good job too. This bot team had a bit more bite than the others, and put up a bit of a fight before the ability to change formation and tactics mid-match did for them. The Management were scratching around for a substitute after only 5 minutes, midfielder Alban Haag being injured, Samuel Njewel firing home the free-kick cross from Juan Pablo Medina in compensation. It wasn't a match for the central midfielders, both having nightmare matches, this being reflected in the poor ratings. The home side equalised, striker Brian Barrett quickly restored the lead for the visitors, but equally as quickly, the scores were level again. At half-time, the Management had had enough of the 3N-5-2V counter for 4-5-1 flat, and introduced left-back Alistair Sterling in place of striker Supachai Sunthornpit in the safer 4-5-1V, and the Home Guard ship steadied somewhat. Barratt put the visitors back into the lead with 20 minutes to go, and ten minutes later, Nick Gill glanced in a corner from Lewis Parkes to make the game safe at 4-2.
