This is a general question to see if others have experienced the same or I am just being paranoid.
At my 32nd game in my 44-game season I've just beaten the team standing in 2nd to go 8-points clear at the top of the table (W23 D3 L3). Promotion beckons, only the champions are automatically promoted and I am looking good for that. I've not been replaying lost matches as that smacks of cheating for me.
Next 8-games go W2 D3 L3 and my players have over night turned to poo, can't pass/shoot/save/tackle/take set pieces. I am now second 2-points behind the leaders with only 4 matches to play.
I'm tempted to give up as it feels the game has decided I'm not going to win and has thus downgraded my players abilities.
I don't expect to win every game or promotion every season, I can accept bad form and like a challange, but after putting together a team that plays so well for 3/4 of a season for them to lose the ability to play overnight is galling.
What team talks did you use? Happened to me in FM 07 (still haven't played FM 08) and I solved it by telling my players to relax or that "result will come".
