    What a pleasant change to have a keeper that consistently plays well. Must make the defenders feel more assured.

    I have to just load one specific league at a time (all divisions), expanding to a second when I need to change countries. I'm in 2043 now, with only the one Chinese division loaded, and it takes forever to chug through a season. If I don't complete the challenge it'll probably be my laptop that...

    I managed to win the African Champions League with City Rovers (weird name). Then won four Indonesian League One titles with Perish on the way to failing to claim the Asian Champ League - could only make it to the semi-final at best - so I resigned and moved to CZ Mighty Lions (another weird...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Genuinely not a dig, but by this measure Avram Grant is better than Mourinho, and their Champions League winning manager is third worst. Means little without taking into account the wider context, imho.

    Our progress

    If I was a player, I might be underperforming too: - Long-term trusted ear, motivator, and strategic / tactical lead to the players is booted out - Multiple new coaches arrive with no clear hierachy or, seemingly, clear direction - Manager dealing with personal issues which leads to less...

    Not an easy chance for BTA tbf. Had little time to adjust.

    Match Thread Cardiff City - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan

    Loads of issues. MvE is playing badly. Sakamoto is playing badly. Thomas has to keep moving to RB to try to help out leaving huge positional gaps when they inevitably cross it. Torp is invisible. All XI still wet themselves against a high press. Rudoni can't play LW. Simms hasn't been given...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Millwall FC Match Thread - Sunday 29th Dec

    Functional performance missing any semblance of magic. Maybe sky blue glasses, but with EMC we win that easily. But a clean sheet, a game we controlled after 10 minutes through to the final whistle, and another game we didn't lose.

    Bit early to pronounce him as the messiah, old chum.

    Mason-Clark Appreciation Thread

    His confidence is higher. Makes all the difference as an attacking player. He now knows he can skin Championship players, so he tries to do it more. Pretty confident he's going to be a star player for us soon.

    I know he's been poor this season, but I want to see Simms on now. That focal point may be what we need.

    I know this has been done to death, but MVE really needs a break.

    What a great bit of play by EMC. Must have read the forum and got annoyed.

    Think Lampard will say we haven't move the ball fast enough again. Very hesitant when we get to the halfway line.

    Frank’s First Block of Five

    Pretty sure it was Aidy Boothroyd who said 1.6 gets you play-offs, 2 gets you automatics. It's a good rule of thumb.

    Haven't been on here so don't know the general feeling, but the players fought like lions towards the end. That little bit of extra bite and desire made all the difference.
