Default End-of-the-season **** up?

I was on an unbeaten streak with Bradford and steadily on the road to promotion at second place in league 1 when they completely collapsed in the final twelve games. Two wins was all they got, and we slipped to 4th place, losing the playoffs. I resigned out of frustration.

I used the same formation, the same players till about halfway, then made some changes to both, but to no avail. Anyone else had this bleedin prob?

I guess buddy its just one of those things, it happens, maybe your team were over achieving and they all showed some nerves when the heat was on..

Yes I had the same with Southend.

Playing really well romping the leauge as I had players like Merdia on loan. Then bang lost 12 in a row until the end of the season. No matter what I did I couldn't get a result. Bug

I am going through an end of season **** up at the moment with Wolves. I don't really care as we are already promoted and only a truly disastrous run of results could mean we don't win the Championship but its still annoying when your team just starts playing badly. I'm putting my run down to complacency but as the other posters have said it may be the pressure getting to your players.

Waa Waaa I lost it must be a bug!!!

Haha pathetic, everyone loses eventually...Even Arsenal in 07 will lose sooner or later.

And I say there is no bug, just an end of season collapse... Or maybe the classic Re-ranking that stuffs up a lot of people.

This happens in virtually every saved game in which I have a team flying high and in position for promotion. There has always been suspicion that opposing clubs 'crack' your tactics after six months or so. I wouldn't say that this is the case, however, because I've been able to use the same tactics successfully for multiple seasons.

But it's inevitable that your club will stop scoring, will start conceding goals, and will slip in form as you get into the final stages of the season. The way to avoid this is by rotating players, altering your training scheme, and paying close attention to what the opposition is doing. Sometimes you can boost morale and get your team playing better by renewing contracts or using media interaction.

You don't have to change your formation necessarily, but some tactical changes can help in terms of team instructions and altering your style of play a bit. The key is to watch the match highlights and determine where the opposition is suddenly getting an advantage.

There is no simple answer, but I can assure you that this tendency to go into a late-season slide is commonplace and is a continual challenge in the game.
