I think your team spirit is fantastic and you take it very seriously. your team has alot of potential and i think you should definately stick with your new forward and the 2 quick lads in midfield. however i do feel that your team needs a quality defender whom not only plays well but commands other players so that they are aware of their defensive duties at all times. I already play for a team on a sunday night and every season we have one of the best defensive records and consistantely finish in the top 5 or 6. This is because like us, the top teams have 1 defender whom stays back and dictates the plays. if you watch on a sunday, top teams teams have a man always a the back. Real leisure use to before he got injuried and fc bullbrook both have a brilliant defender playing for them.one of the new teams does as well, but i cant think of their name.(i will get back to you on that) they dont do anything flashy. they tackle and lay off simple passes. The 1 thing they do, do is organise every body. The defender may be a fantastic player, but will never stand out because he will do the boring but vitally important things which allow a great attack to do what they do best with out worrying about conceeding. be simple and effective,
You watch them on a sunday night and you will see how crucial they are to their teams.
there are afew others with players like this.....all teams which finish high up the league.
For example: when the opposition goalkeeper has the ball. Have your centre back central and behind every one else. This way he can view all angles. get him to encourage your players to squeeze the opposition and keep them in your half. Look around and tell them who to mark. instruct them quickly and loudly and tell them to get tight. I garantee you that this will result in two of your players to the left of you and two to the right of you. this allows you to then take the forward, who will either be central and move towards his own keeper, or move towards your goal, towards the wings.
simple harsh instructions will stop you from conseeding so many goals. do this and with your attack you will be better than you already are.
And another thing.......make sure it is a good defender whom has this responsibility.....to be honest with you....if you find a decent defender they will automatically do this for you.
I look forward to playing your lot in the league, because as usual, i think defending how you do, it will be very hard to stop us from scoring goals........but you never know, you may prove me wrong lol
p.s......i dont want you to think i am be cocky! that i why i am not saying who i play for.......i just like the fact that you want to become a better team and put alot of effort in. if you want to respond to me........go on your comments forum, and start a new subject called defending.......if you put a reply or comments in their, i will be happy to replpy on your forum......................as i said before....i dont want to sound cocky.......if you think what i have said is alot of shit and you dont want any help then that is far enough.....go on the forum and tell me.......dont want you to fink i am being a wanker.......hopefully see a reply from you soon as i have another helpful tip.
