If you don't really tinker with individual players, then they must (By law of elimination) also be set to "Attacking" and "Direct" which means they're bound to snap at shots, rather than taking time to set themselves to shot properly.

On target = straight at the keeper = easy to save = presumed: Superkeeper. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Don't be blaming his tactics for the problem.If he can get that much shots on target with so few goals there is a MAJOR problem </BLOCKQUOTE>

I never presumed that my answer was the be-all and end-all, I was merely making a suggestion as to a POSSIBLE solution to the problem. I'm merely relaying what I've picked up on here.
Anyways, for those who know me, I'm probably the worst manager in the world so I'm not really one to offer conclusive answers to problems.

Fixtures and league table attached.

I know some peeps will say that there isn't a problem looking at the amount of goals I scored, the issue is that I beat a lot of teams scoring 3 or 4 goals then lost to 0 or 1 in games where I should have scored more, I think the whole thing is just on it's head?

Nik, a recent conversation in A Manual to Team Talk... has me wondering if its a team-talk issue as much as a tactics issue.

I think your strikers' confidence is a huge part of it; unconfident strikers seem to "rush" shots, which results in them being straight to the 'keeper and consequently easy to save, and consequently you get a low shots/goals ratio.

Luiz, in that thread, felt that the team-talks feedback he got helped solve the shots/goals ratio problem he'd been experiencing as well.

I'm not saying that is or is not the answer - but it might be something to think about, as an "item which is in my control", instead of feeling victimized by the match engine.

Amaroq,

Excellent piece of advice, I will give it a go, I do sometimes give individual team talks, but not always, I will try it out for the rest of the season. I hope it's right?

I'll be very interested to hear your results - no shakes on Luiz, but imo it takes repeatability to count as a cure. Please post back to this thread with a "yea", "nay", or "results inconclusive"!

1st game, I encouraged John Cunliffe and Told Doudin I expected a performance, Murphy was injured (gutted)

Bradford had played 3, won 2, drawn 1.

could it have worked?

Nobody has ever told me to "jog on" before, which has always disappointed me.
Thanks for addressing that imbalance.

No problem!! and that response has just made me rethink my opinion of you.....

You are clearly an intelligent bod and I respect that :thup:

Anyway, I swapped the praises round for my next game and drew 2-2 again with Bradford in the Johnstones Paint Trophy, again at home, an even game, doudin and nowland scored.

Next game was against Northampton, who are fellow prmotion chasers, played 4, won 2, drawn 1, lost 1, it was at home and I won 2-0 with 12 shots, 5 on target. I told Doudin and Cunliffe that I expected a performance, the scorers were Nowland (pen) and Henri Camara when he came on as sub, the team were told "I expect a win", at the beginning and 1-0 up at half time were told "pleased", then I brought Camara on.

I will

From looking at your results you have picked these games from a period of over 9 months.

Also from looking at them, I can see that the game against Bury was a realistic result. You may have had 19 shots but you only had 7 on target so it's entirely possible you could fail to score. Again, the QPR game you only had one more shot than QPR did. They won 1-0. Perhaps there could have been a couple more goals but I don't see too much wrong. The game against Bristol, only 6 on target again. So I can only really see what four results which may be a little unrealistic. However, with those four results being so spread out, its possible that could happen in real life. I don't see too much wrong here. Maybe there could have been some more goals but this is a game which can't hope to mimick real life as well as some people think it should. If these results were in the space of 2 months or so, then I'd agree there is a problem but the screens you have posted are nowhere near you claim of 'proof'.

Enjoy :thup:

How is morale in the team?

That plays a huge factor in performance.
