i have always tried Plymouth because they are always a challenge. this year seems no exception.
More to follow when i start in the morning!

Sounds excellent; looking forward to it!

A small update; brought in Danny Simpson, Darren Gibson and Lee Martin on loan from Manchester Utd. All three are going to be first team regulars, making the side something like this;

Marshall

Simpson Murray Clarke Drury

Chadwick Brellier Gibson Martin

Cureton Keene

I'm hoping to work the tactics so Cureton works off Keene's hard work; but initial attempts to forge a tactic have gone unsuccessfully with a draw to both Swindon and Kings Lynn.

Still, I'll keep persisting. I'm considering buying John Hartson from the Baggies to offer something different up front.

[retired_mikizoro]

I started at norwich. told the board i would win the championship and got £3.3m to spend

Ins:
Bruno Mezenga £1.9m
Ali Al-Habsi £450k +15% sell-on
Hatem Trabelsi free
David Thompson free
Nacer Bazerite 22k
Daryl Murphy 300k
Lee Martin Loan

Outs:
Chris Martin 50k
Michael spillane 20k

However, my tactics doen't seem to work and i am coceding goals for fun and had 4 draws in my opening 4 matches.

Just started with wolves and its going Ok, i lost to Northhampton in a freindly but it was a freindly, means nothing. So far ive missed out on bringing David Thompson, Trabelsi and Mika AarItalo.

INS:
Darron Gibson ( Loan ) Like IN IRL, And he is a Rotation player
Lee Martin ( Loan ) Looks good for this league, next season maybe a pernament deal
Nacer Barazite ( 22k ) Plays AM In my 4-4-2 Diamond.
Zdravko Zdravkov ( Free ) Needed a keeper so i got him just for this season, May use him as a GK Coach next season if he retires.
Eric Addo ( Free ) Will replace Breen and if i get promoted will be strong.
Matias Almeyda ( Free ) WOW! Looks brilliant

Outs:
Kevin O'connor ( Loan ) Get him some first team experience so i can sell him on in janurary


Notable Info:
Bought Jody Craddock And Denes Rosa from the reserves, Craddock is immense and rosa is doing really well IRL so ill give him a try on the subs. Keeping Charlie Mulgrew in the first team, he is a real gem, Cristian Nazarith should be coming in the next few days .


I think my team should win or come 2nd in the championship with my guidence, What are your views on my squad?

FIRST XI

-----------------Zdravkov------------------
-Foley-----Addo------Breen------Mulgrew
-------------------Almeyda-----------------
-Kightly--------------------------------Keogh
-------------Eastwood------Bothroyd-----

Looks a super side, Jack. Particularly jealous you got Addo; he rejected me to join Club Brugge on my game. I think if you keep free from injuries and keep ahead of Charlton and Watford (the two teams I think are the ones to beat in this division) then I think promotion is a very realistic target.

How's Andy Keogh doing for you? I'm currently keeping a close eye on the lad as he's a player I think could add alot to my team.

I'm not so sure why you've signed Mezenga, Al-Habsi and Daryl Murphy; all three of these players seem to be a bit of a waste IMO. Is Mezenga a hot prospect or something? Just £1.9mil for the lad seems a bit of a gamble when you've told your board you'll win the league for them.

Also why have you sold Martin and Spillane? Both are excellent prospects and will be worth much more than you got for them in a season or three.

Otherwise you look as if you've made a fair few offensive signings. Perhaps what's needed is to look for some defensive signings. Bring in a defender or two on short term loans from the Premiership. I find Jack Hobbs from Liverpool is always a good shout. Look particularly for someone who can organise the defence; since bringing Peter Clarke from Southend and making him Captain, I've found my defence is far better organised.

Use a formation a bit like used by Jack Edwards above with a defensive midfielder sat in front of your defence, and make sure you're looking at ways to cut off the supply to your opponent's strikers; I've found Brellier with high closing down to be effective at this and having my wingers and full backs on zonal marking to cut off supply from other wingers and full backs.

Here's a great staff tip or two;

<UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>Dave Harrison - Leeds Scout who has got some brilliant stats.

<LI> Ed Baranowski - Huddesfield Fitness Coach who has got the right stats in the right places.

<LI> Bobby Roberts - Oxford Scout who doesn't ask for much yet has a 15 rating for both judging ability and potential. </UL>

Hows the closing down bug in the full game? Has it been changed at all?

I wont be able to get the game for a while due to lack of funds!
But i'll be getting Wolves promoted soon, dont you worry

Dave, I already have , on the demo, well i was 1st in 6 months lol HA!, But i started a new game on the real game, Its good

Pretty good actually, he has an eye for goal and passes aswell, He fits nicely into LM, AM, Or Striker, Played 8 games scored 6 and assisted 4 !
