League Banter - The Matchday thread

Got a 3-2 win with one of my best players out. Back out of auto relegation.

stoked with a 2-0 win over MC utd last night,  they've beaten me 12 times! Stadium was 2 seats off capacity too 

3  - 1 win for the Trains at the Bush, and the Kura Hard G's were held 1 - 1 so we are 4 points clear 13 games unbeaten.

Steam Engines won 8 - 2 as well!

Dammit, 62% possession and 17/11/5 against 9/4/4 but two late goals end in a 2-2 draw, needed that one to jump out of danger. Might be time to spend....

So got another win today to put me 2 points out of auto relegation. But a head few games coming up.

Looking at the stats I have the most cards in the league by far( never had that problem before) and the most injuries. Hope that evens up

still winless in nz premiership after conceding a 92nd minute equaliser. Drawn 5 lost 10. 

Trains won 0 - 3. Third clean sheet in a row. 14 matches unbeaten.

Auckie Duckie (4th place) just spent $123,000,000  on Ishaq Al Alwi a 32 yr old RM withSI=124,935 from Bahrain, and a further 123,000,000 on Lorenzo Vandenberghe, a 30 yr old LM with SI= 121,537 from France.

That's upped the game a bit.

Edit: It isn't the third clean sheet in a row - last 4 results have been 3 - 0, 3 - 0, 3 - 1, 3 - 0.

owch, beaten 6-0 at home against Ancient123.  Still in 4th place

A shock 0 - 0 home draw for the Trains... still unbeaten for 15 straight games (13 wins and two draws) but the 6 game winning streak is broken. Sigh.

Won 2-1 but I'm now without 4 first choice players for my match against Detoxin's Rahui Warriors on Friday.

Awful loss last night, looking for reinforcements while I've got a must-win match tomorrow night - 4 teams go down automatically, currently in fourth to last, but there's a suspended team above me, so gotta avoid the bottom three - playing the third-to-last team tomorrow

i like this very much

a 2-1 win over AD Fafe keeps me

in 4th place just 4 points ahead of Hamilton KV

Trains win 4 - 2 and the Kura hard Gs are held 0 - 0 at home so we are two points clear at the top again, 17 games unbeaten.

Got thumped 4-0 by a team below me but remain in 9th on the table

Had 18 shots, 8 setpieces, 56% possession, and just managed to win with a goal in the 92nd minute

a hiding yesterday but still 1 point ahead of automatic relegation

dominated all 3 games, lost all 3 games. 

This season sucks

Late goal gives me a good 2-1 win tonight, deserved too, 12 shots on target, scored on the opponent's reserve keeper after they made an 85th minute sub.

Moves me into 15th, which is all I need to avoid automatic relegation as there's a banned team ahead of me. Up against Bath Salts for 15th, but string some results together and I could easily jump up the ladder, improvement...

Off the bottom of the ladder with a 2-1 win. #AvoidTheSpoon

3-0 loss but still in that vital place safe from auto relegation.

Back on track. A 1 - 8 away win for the Trains, one point off the top of the table Kura Hard G's. 

In goal Moir is just going from strength to strength and should pass through 50,000 SI this week or next, with his physical ratings really getting there now and things like jumping and aerial ability developing as a consequence.

The Little Trains squad is bubbling away nicely too with Vick McDonnel slotting into the senior side as injury replacement cover and performing well (Although with plenty of development still to come) and several other 4.5 to 5 star potential graduates of the Little Trains Academy slowly maturing in the Steam Engines.

The future is looking rosy at Homebush Road.

Of the goal scorers for the Trains this season (below) Pat Lewis, Luke Green, Tiem Hickey, Charlie Tree, Vick McDonnel and Vince Hebb are all graduates of the Little Trains Academy.

bottled it last night.... 4-1 loss to one of the teams around me... should of won easily   and now im in the auto relegation spots again

a good 2-0 away win for me to keep me in 5th

Yuuussssss!!!

3 - 1 win at The Bush, and Kura Hard Gs lpost 0 - 1 (unexpectedly) so The Trains are 2 points clear at the top again.

4-0 win, giving myself a bit of a buffer and catching up on the other squads. Have a few winnable games before a hellishly tough run so need to get some more points on the board.

owch, a 2-0 loss at home to Universidad Paraparaumu knocks me down to 8th, need to stay at 9th or better to keep the sponsors happy

I have am injury and suspension. In a must win game, if I win this I should be safe from auto relegation. If not it's a hard fight from here

http://trophymanager.com/matches/82720329/  Almost a huge upset!  My reserve side vs side from Group 8.  He got me in extra time.

a goal and a red card down after 11 minutes.... wont bother about that result

a 6-0 hammering by BHB Bombers knocked me out of the Cup competition (but still one win secures sponsor monies).

3-0 win against B KCU brings me back up to 7th.  

Looking reasonably good as far as injuries and suspensions go, and most of the teams I've got left to face are in the bottom half of the table.

Need to make sure I stay in 9th or better to get some investment ammo.

C'mon you Falcons

Trains are 5 points clear with 9 to play

Important 3-0 win to jump me up to 14th, that plus the banned team in front of me puts the squad in a good position to avoid automatic relegation and scrap for it in the playoffs.

Tough stretch coming up though so need to keep this good form up.

looks like safety from auto relegation is beyond me know. its going to be a tough fight.  not going to meet my sponser goals either except for cup.....   even if i do stay up it will be tough

Steam Engines 2 - 1 up away at Halcones Juniors after 50 mins.

Halcones Juniors equalise, then the Steam Engines have a defender sent off for a second yellow, then in the 87th minute the Steam Engines go 2 - 3 up!

Another win, 3-2. Automatic relegation way behind me now

Trains won again, 7 league wins on the trot, 5 points clear with 8 to play.

WOW. 

Possibly the best performance by the squad in Whips history, we swept aside 3rd placed Scarfies and their monster keeper Martin Finn 5-1.

Scarfies had not conceded more than 3 goals all season.

Three straight wins for the Whips, now in the gaudy heights of 11th, which is still annoyingly within the relegation playoffs but now 12 points clear of an threat of automatic relegation.
