Stoke (A) 3-0
Blackpool (H) 0-0
Colchester (A) 0-1
Sheff Utd (H) 1-1

So far then... P14 W6 D6 L2

Good then, definitely better than before. Scoring goals was a problem but has improved when I put in Kostadinov up front instead of Fowler (18 pace as opposed to 8)

Very good away from home but sometimes struggles a bit at home. Perhaps I will try unticking counter attack at home, see what happens.

Very encouraging though.

Started using this in my Crewe game and i lost the first game 2-0 and have won the next three games 3-1, 3-0 and 3-1 and in the two 3-1 victorys had one man sent off and two men in another but still won. Good tactic so far will let you know what goes on in the rest of the season.

I think i must be missing something here...Well done on the Leeds thing.

I can't get them to win at all, did you do anything special in terms of signings or just stuck with the initial squad?

Also whats the consensus on the defensive midfielder ? Would imagine rare runs forwadr would work, but seems to limit attacking options...Thoughts?

Really want to make this one work.

I did tick off to use the target man and I had mixed supply. I am going to experiment with this option further though to see how it affects his play. I'm thinking of aiming all crosses at him to see if that makes a differences since he's good in the air.

Thanks for the effort, but it didn't work for me. Closing down was completely none existent and both CBs only made a couple of tackles in any match. The opposition just attacked straight down the middle every time. Picked up at least 3 bookings in each game, as well. The more attacking of the strikers was also ineffective for me, with 0 shots in 5 games.

Cheers. I'm not using a target man currently but if I come unstuck then I might give it a go. One thing I am doing though is aiming the crosses of the right back and right winger to far post because the left SC (Anelka) and the left winger (Aaritola) are better in the air than my right SC (Dioufy).

Well, I reached the play-off final and lost 1-0 to Sheff U but I was the better team and should have won.

I have tweaked it slightly but only to have some basic instructions that I can switch to during the game depending on the score.

I have unticked counter attack for basic home.
Have it ticked for basic away.
I have an attack version and a defend lead version.

Flogged Fowler and Parry in pre-season and brought in Stuart Taylor, Lee Carsley and Willo Flood is back from loan and looking good.

First choice XI is:

GK: Stuart Taylor
RB: Chris Gunter
LB: Kevin McNaughton
CB: Darren Purse
CB: Glen Loovens
DM: Lee Carsley
AM: Stephen McPhail
RW: Trevor Sinclair
LW: Joe ledley
LM: Steven MacLean
ST: Branimir Kostadinov

LM = Link Man - that deep lying striker.

Won my opening game of this new season 3-0 away at Burnley - we were all over them.

Looking good. Congratulations on this formation.
