My invasion of the higher reaches of the table goes great for the first few months, but then January and February comes around and my advances start slowing down, my shock troops stop scoring, and it all ends deep down in a bunker in Berlin. Errr. Except that last bit.

So, any general advice on changing tactics for the harsh English winter?

Play classic English football, 4-4-2, long ball, write your team list on the back of a cigarette packet. (Y)

Cleon

Play more direct in wet conditions

Jimboola

Play to the wings, big man in the middle, try not to eat your horses, never start a land war in Asia.

That about covers it!

What stopped the Nazis winning in Russia? Ah, the weather! And Hitler not listening to his Generals.

Bad weather and poor man-management! More parallels than you may think

You think the title was serendipitous? I get no credit

Maybe you underestimated the stolid grit and determination of the Russians...err....I mean....the other teams in the league?

You do, but I only 'got' the weather reference. Hitler splitting his troops into three rather than sending them all helter-skelter for the oil, against all the advice he was given..... You were really thinking that

Figured my defence needed work, so signed basically a new one and started again.

19 seconds into the first league game and I'm 1-0 down.
