Transfer In - DC Michael Laws - 30
Great physical attributes and a lot of 10+ mental attributes. Love his 16 Strength and 18 Bravery in particular. Hope he can shore up our suddenly leaky backline.

Good Train
Andy Marlowe

Bad Trains
Adam Furness
Simon Wills
Mark Ruddock

Board still pleased. $5.78k profit. They love the Adam Furness signing.

8th vs Sale Town (15th)
G: Dermot McMurray
D: Liam Cattermole/Danny Farthing/Michael Laws/Leon Drysdale
MC: Simon Wills/Paul Rutter
AMLR: Callum Amis/Chaz Wrigley
S: Adam Furness/Mykel Beckley

27 - This fucking useless team 0-1

67 - O'Grady on for Wills

68 - Farthing sent off on a red, so O'Grady to DC and Nicholls at MC.

84 -

0-2

I talk to Danny Farthing about his poor performance the last few games, and he promises to sort it out.

Meanwhile, I'm being criticized for sticking to my 4-2-2-2 despite our poor form.

There's only 3 teams who have non-gray players, so it's hard to get a comparison result. I do notice that we're the worst at tackling, however, so perhaps we should be standing off rather than hassling. Let's try it.

We also hold a team meeting to try and improve morale, which we do. Team captain Mark Ruddock stops by to ask for more PT, and I'll give it to him.

11th @Lostock Graham (10th)
G: Dermot McMurray
D: Liam Cattermole/Mark Ruddock/Michael Laws/Leon Drysdale
MC: Chris Melia/Ben Steane
AMLR: Callum Amis/Chaz Wrigley
S: Adam Furness/Mark Threlfall

7 - Melia to Furness for the immediate high leg pass to Threlfall, who controls it, shoots, and we get our first lead for the first time in forever. 1-0

13 - Yeah. Of course. 1-1

35 - Yellow for Ruddock, so in O'Grady

45 - 30 fucking seconds before the god damned fucking break 1-2

58 - Melia forced off with injury. Nicholls on.

69 - Laws converts a PK 2-2

75 - Cattermole to DR, Hayton at DL as Drysdale gets a yellow.

78 - Amis forced off with injury. We now have to play a man down.

82 - Yeah. Fuck this tactic. 2-3

92 - Fuck it up the ass. 2-4

We lose Callum Amis for 2-3 months, so we have to dump the tactic by default.

Going to go with a default 4-4-2, all default roles and duties, Go Route One, Pass Into Space, Higher Tempo to take advantage of our Stamina and Pace advantages.

12th vs Penlake (8th)
G: Dermot McMurray
D: Liam Cattermole/Mark Ruddock/Michael Laws/Leon Drysdale
MC: Will Hayton/Simon Wills/Chris Melia/Chaz Wrigley
S: Adam Furness/Mark Threlfall

4 - Nothing we do matters. 0-1

33 - Nothing at fucking all. 0-2

46 - Cattermole to Furness on the far left wing, and then a long, booming cross to Wrigley for the one-back. 1-2

66 - Whatever. Cattermole to ML; Shearwood at DL. 1-3

We just keep sinking lower and lower and NOTHING FUCKING WORKS!

14th v Sandbach United (1st)
G: Dermot McMurray
D: Liam Cattermole/Mark Ruddock/Michael Laws/Leon Drysdale
MC: Will Hayton/Simon Wills/Chris Melia/Chaz Wrigley
S: Adam Furness/Mark Threlfall

I'm changing to Defensive and Rigid for now to try and see if we can stop these constant goal leaks.

85 - Yeah. 0-1

Transfer In - AMC/AMR/ST Christopher King -21
10 Dribbling, a bunch of 9+ Mental Attributes, 11 Acceleration, 10 Balance. Going to try and start working towards a different style of player, I think, because what we have isn't working.

I adjust our original 4-2-2-2 to instead be a 4-4-2 Narrow Diamond. King will be an Attacking Engarche and the Fullbacks will be set to Support. I'll also adjust the striker roles.

Transfer In - DLC Danny White - 33
Phenomenal Mental attributes and an immediate starter for us.

Tyrone Gay is released.

Transfer In - DLR Danny Hutton - 22
Wanted to be a backup only, but he's got solid mental game and 11 Stamina. He's going to start on the left side.

Keith Wedge and Tyrone Gay are released on frees.

Transfer In - AMC/MC David de Oliveria (29)
A Portuguese player to fill my annual amateur one non-English guy signing apparently. On a serious note, he's a fantastic fit for the Engarche role that we've accidentally made part of our formation.

David Barnett is next to be released on a free.

14th v Barnton United (2nd)
G: Dermot McMurray
D: Danny White/Mark Ruddock/Michael Laws/Danny Hutton
DM: Ollie Pinner
MC: Simon Wills/Chris Melia
AM: David de Oliveria
S: Chaz Wrigley/Mark Threlfall

30 - Can't exploit the middle if we're being outnumbered by in the midfield, so that instruction falls off, as is Play Narrower. Instead, we'll play Wider.

41 - Yellow for Pinner, so in hops O'Grady.

81 - Damn right he was offsides!

92 - FUCK YOU! THAT WAS NOT A FUCKING PENALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0-1

Assfucked yet again. We're on an 8 game losing streak, and everyone is wanting to leave the team.
