nice 1-1 draw against 2nd at home should of been better though
League Banter - The Matchday thread
...oops.
my match against Sky Valley was a 3-0 loss by default.
I'd transferred some players to my reserved team and forgot to move some back up, two of my players on the bench had red cards :/
"forfeit due to being unable to field a full squad of 16 players"
tad embarrassing.
Haha! Why couldn't you have done that v Whips B's - we need the points!
3-2 win last night for the Whips to keep me right amongst the promotion race, have about 15 games left until I purchase my new keeper
Oh, and Ivan Hyde with his first goal in TM at the age of 15, here's to many more!
Your opposition will be pissed to have a 15 year old score what was effectively the winning goal against them!
Decided to pump thirty-odd million into my stadium/facilities after a crap start and since then have been unbeaten in 4 matches (3 wins) and sitting in 3rd. Weird... not keen on promotion though - hope to improve my players next season and then have a good crack at going up!
Famous last words... am now in second place, but broke after putting $$$$ into stadium/facilities, so not ready to go up as I'd need to strengthen my squad - may soon need to give some gumby's a run! lol

This might just qualify as post of the week. Oh dear on that front with the default
"You don't know what you're doing!"
yeeeah not my finest work
Got 3rd placed Hamilton KV tonight ... with a full squad of 16 this time.
C'mon you Falcons!

The Trains would be quite keen to see you squeak a win there too...
I won't lie as I'm cheering against both of you, the gap to my goal of Top Half is getting too steep if you both win. I need to turn around my season against Studdsup City tonight to have any chance. Also need my defence to stay how it has been lately not the piss poor start to the season.
And of course looking forward to Sunday's name against the Whippersnappers! :D Leilei to score lots I say.
Go Whips! At least we occasionally score goals! Come two seasons time I expect I'll be able to at least get a few draws, depending on what my plan is with selling the talent in the squad. It'll be a good boost for your goals scored at least
Soren Kofoed helped The Trains take the lead on three separate occaisons last night, his hatrick proving the difference in a 2 - 3 away win of Dighomi R.S.C. Trains are now 6th after 13 straight unbeaten games, 3 points adrift of 3rd and 5 points adrift of 2nd.
Another good result last night. 2-2 draw against top of the table away. Got 2 down but hit 2 goals late to get the draw
<div><br></div><div>also just noted its their first dropped points this season</div>
Great stuff from the Whippersnappers by managing to get five guys yellow carded, as well as injuring two of the opponents best player (including their star striker) for their next game against, who knew.... Sky Valley! Thank me later.
A 4-2 win over Studdsup City sees AD Fafe move up to 11th, finally on the right track, though our best centre back got injured, luckily he will only miss a single game, tonights match against the Whippersnappers
You won't need a centre back against the Whipper Snappers...
I am going to be generous and play a 4-3-3. Maybe I should also go very attacking just to help out your goal difference?
Not sure my team should need the help, we should be able to just past the ball to Leilei and he can score, or Letailleur could pop some in from Midfield has 6 goals in 9 games since signing with us.
The over/under on Leilei goals is set at 3.5. Over/under goals scored for AD Fafe is at eight. I'm gonna grab one myself though....
Good 3-1 win at home vs FC Spartak Tawa, who I didn't realise is also in my YF league group (Grrrivals!). Went down 0-1 before barnstoming back with 3 un-answered goals.
Massive 2-1 win over the league leading side, down 1-0 after 75 minutes but a great finish to steal all three points, excellent defensive effort to only concede two shots as well.
Leaves the table like this:
1st: 34
2nd: Me (33)
3rd: 33
4th: 31
5th: 31
6th: 29
at this rate I'll be lucky to finish in the top 6 - which is all I'm hoping for at the moment
lost 3-0 to Hamilton KV, but then drew 1-1 to league leaders zavarbo (spelling?)
Need to finish in the top half for the end of year payout, just scraping through at 9th of 18 above gRRrivals AD Fafe
Vs table topping Dirty's Boys away(relegated from above league prev season), conceeded on 44" just before HT to be 0-1 down. But their DM got a 2nd yellow card on 55" so hoping for a comeback! Down 11 shots to 2 (none on target either). 2 Other players from their team are on yellows too so maybe a 2nd send off would be nice ;D
Argh, lost 2-0, too strong in the end. Was piling on the pressure and had 58% possession away but my usually gun strikers couldn't put away the chances!
Exciting game though
Trains are hosting the Junior Whips. 49 mins gone, Soren's got 5, Trains have 8 and there's over 40 minutes left...
Half way point of the season and sitting on a 3 point lead in 2.1. Suffered a few injuries of late though which will make it tough for the next few games. Expecting to get mowed down at some point, but looking good for the play-offs.
How's everyone else doing at the mid-point? On track for sponsors goals?
struggling this season, sitting 8th in a league I should be doing better in, think I'm gonna scrap the 3 man defence come end of the season - I don't have a spare LB or RB at the moment to solve the issue and money is so far negative I can't afford to sell a CB to buy them in......end of season will mean massive tidy up work and increase in stadium capacity......goals set at finihsing in the top 6 so tracking to get there.
Midtable in NZ
Automatic relegation zone in league 1 in Australia (not good!)
Relegation playoffs in oceania championship
So yeah, not very good at all! Below expectations for all 3 teams
Great 2-0 win over Peow, my ageing keeper saved 10 shots before Renton scored twice to seal the win. Going to be tough to sell him in a week, he has 7 goals and 9 assists in 15 games.
I need a new Keeper.
But I have no money.
And I have two 4.5 - 5* youth keepers developing.
Arrrgghhhh!!
So far we've played 19, won 8, drawn 8, lost 3, Goals for 68 (most in the league), Goals against 39. We are 7th.
Soren is doing quite well in the golden boot race:
And in the Ratings:
The youth guys are doing well too:
Hey, if there isn't a Whippersnapper on that list! Good to see Spratt stepping up over all my 17 year old 1.5 star players....
first time ever I neglected to field a full team - default 3-0!!!

GRRrrrivals AD Fafe tonight http://trophymanager.com/matches/71259927/
They're just one point behind me on the table, I'll need to fight them off to stay within the top half of the table for my sponsorship goal.
Head to Head
Los Halcones v AD Fafe: W5, D2, L3

GRRR! I need to win to get into the top half, also need to do something after our HUMILIATING 5-0 defeat to Sky Valley midweek :P
Yeah they beat me 3-0 ... although that was because I couldn't/didn't field a full squad
Another excellent keeping performance, saving 9 of the 10 shots on target, led me to an important 2-1 win. But now have 3 players suspended for tomorrow, could be a tough outing.
lost 4-1 at home :/
An unfortunate 3-2 loss against the trains as they nicked a late goal in the 89th minute!
2 goals from 3 shots on target (7 shots in total), no injuries and not a single card, which is great considering there is a cup game on tomorrow that needs winning.
The result has dropped me back to 10th behind AD Fafe (GRRrr) equal on points (30), and pushes Khandallah up to 8th on 35 points
Upcoming fixtures are: 15th placed R.Akl Academy, 16th placed Otatau, 17th placed Woodend, then 11th placed Digihomi
Hoping to pick up as many points as possible there to keep me in the top half for the much needed end of season moola.
