[SthLdnTing]

You lot inspired me to do this. I chose grimsby and assesed the team then i looked at the news and it said "expects to win the league" and i thought o i dont want this, this is easy lol. but i thought ahh heck lemme try it out, i played with them and thought, wtf, this is HARD for me. so im gonna start it again take it seriously bringing grimbsy up to, hopefully the premiership. Hope people follow xD anyways here it goes.

Well ive just spent 30mins trying to find out how to do that code thingy. Now lemme start.
Anthony Williams will be our first team goal keeper. Paul Fraser will be back up and come on once in awhile when anthony is injured or tired. Oliver Richardson does seem that good not even enough stats to have a potential, but ill keep him in reserves and see how he goes.

First team defenders:
DL: Dean Gordon, Hes abit old but hes got all the right attributes in all the right places. Pacey, strong and good attack attributes sure to do well for us in his remaining years left in football.
DR: Terry Fleming, Old aswell but a good tireless full back, if he starts to look wobbly i can always put Jason Crowe in there.
DC: Terrell Forbes, Young defender 10+ in all the right places for a defender sure to do us good in the season
DC: Rob Jones Just like Forbes with 10+ in all the right places, his lack off pace may cause problems so we might have to get in a loan in that position.

First team midfielders:
ML: Graham Hockless Young, abit on the slow side but hopefully his technical attributes will shine through and over shadow that.
MR: Andy Parkinson Fast winger, with not bad technical attributes right footed so ill put him on the right.
MC: Stacy Coldicott great defensive midfielder, hes got the attributes of a young Patrick Viera too bad hes 30 lol.
MC: Thomas Pinault above average stats, young pires but in the centre lol. should do well, but i dont like that 9 on the creativity .
