I am new to the game.

I have played most of my first season.

Not the best we are 6/5/7 at the moment about 16th in the table.

I have commented at times about other managers and I have praised or given warnings about performace.

I was having a time of about 6 games where I did not have less than 5 yellow cards a game. near the end I had about 4 players on the senior squad that were going to be suspended for too many yellows, so .. I handed out some warnings and then fined a player for being on waring of suspension and then getting 2 yellows in that game.. getting him booted and still being on warning for one more yellow.

Now they all hate me??? I have almost all morales down to poor, or very poor, even the players playing well and those that I praise.

I am not getting this morale stuff, and I am getting my ass handed to me by the bottom of the table teams.

Any advise as to what I am doing.. or not doing right???

Thanks

Converting your training pitch to a version of Guantanamo might be a bad idea, for example. Maybe the yellows weren't even your players' fault?

Maybe you just demand too much of your players.

Now I am Canadian, but grew up in a ENG/IRISH/SCOT town and played football since I was 5.

I go by my experience and I want advise, not hints in the game. As a new manager I am asking for some insight.

When I played, you gave full effort or was benched, you played a good hard game, but start hacking on a regular basis, and you hurt the squad.
As a talent level I feel my side (Exeter nationwide conference) should be top half at least and with a little luck, outside looking in for playoffs.

I had a point after we won 1 rnd in FA where everyone was VERY happy, but the cards, results, maybe my comments?

I dont understand the benifit of saying nice things about other managers?? where does that get you?

Exeter() (couldn't leave it )

What Olly and the Foggy-Monkey said.

Ok, I guess even asking that is Tipping,

one question on the game, rather than opening up a new thread.

What is the difference between a part time contact and a full time ??
As a staff member I can assume it means the amount they put into the job.

As a player? Would this mean they dont show up as often for training?

I assume if you offer somene 100 pt and 100 FT they are looking at less money FT because they are working at the club FT?? Is this as it sounds?

Thanks

So...

If a player is getting 500 a week pt

this would be a much better contact for the player than 500 ft?

if I offer the 500 pt player a ft contract do I get more results out of a ft player?

I remember one league game I played (Conference South) where 17 yellow cards were dished out - ten to my team - and not one player got sent off.
My team weren't even set on hard tackling either.

I was expecting a fine or something to come through from the FA. Good job really, the cheque would have bounced anyway.

Some people don't like playing in losing teams, getting carded by the ref and told off by the boss :eek:.... what is the world coming to????

Exeter are a good side to play with (phew, did I say that right?)

retired_skinner3
