NE Oklahoma Sidekicks - Season 19 - V.111

[vex]

I started to do this at the beginning of the season and I just didn't have time after I had started it. So here are your NE Oklahoma Sidekicks!

We are currently 1st in V.111 and things are only going to get easier as the #2 team and my only real competition has been locked out since May 29th when I found that he was cheating.

Basic team info:

NE Oklahoma Sidekicks (71068)

Country: USA
Region: Oklahoma
Arena: The Slaughter House

Cash funds: -155 606 US$ (-214 691) US$
Sponsors: high on life
Supporter Club: 1032 members
Supporters: high on life


I just started daytrading so I'm always around -$200,000

Here are my recent transactions:

5/17/2003 Bought Bruno Pedrosa from ISCAL club 4 000 US$ (16 000 US$)
5/17/2003 Bought Dwi Hariyanto from Omong Sakti 31 000 US$ (30 000 US$)
5/15/2003 Sold Christos Kladogenis to Real Club Social 45 000 US$ (40 000 US$)
5/12/2003 Bought Christos Kladogenis from nymans bk 11 000 US$ (40 000 US$)


I listed Bruno for $25,000 Monday and Dwi will end his time on the transfer list Tuesday afternoon. He is going for $35,000.

I don't daytrade just for the money, I do it partially to keep myself fully entertained with Hattrick all of the time. And as you can see, it's not like I massively daytrade.


Here's my current standings:

1. NE Oklahoma Sidekicks 7 31 - 6 18

2. Man U Wannabes 7 30 - 8 16 (Inactive)

3. RN United 7 25 - 9 13

4. Kandy Kanez 7 16 - 4 13

5. Raging Chimbelinas 7 13 - 9 13

6. greg's new team 7 7 - 30 6 (Inactive)

7. kolitas de rana 7 3 - 34 3

8. Virginia Vipers 7 4 - 29 0 (Inactive)


Our only loss came to RN United and that was when we were still in the Cup. We played our B team midfield and got killed 0-4.

In our last match we played Kandy kanez on the road and beat them 2-0. We missed 2 or 3 chances to score though.

Andersson, Stensson, and Anduaga are a solid core for the future, but the B team needs help and also another player after we sold one last week. He was 24 though and I couldn't see whyh to keep training him.

Coach

A passable coach who is fond of attacking
A nasty fellow who is tranquil and honest.
Has formidable experience and solid leadership abilities.

Stamina: wretched Keeper: disastrous

Winger: disastrous Defending: disastrous

A slight question, I just noticed that my coach is "fond of attacking", that used to be called, "goes all out" When did that change in HT?

Coming Soon!


Next up we travel to play Cali and his Plowboys in FOFC Cup Group play.

In league play we once again take on the Kandy Kanez.

[vex]

I forgot to mention that the Sidekicks run a symmetrical 3-5-2 and play with only one true winger as the other is moved "towards the middle" (I just started this due to Billy's advice.} We also put our wingback offensive on the side that we don't have a true winger. The true winger is set offensively and everyone is on normal.

[Havok]

you had a pretty nice team when you started, bastard

good luck in divison IV next year

[vex]

Well, I also had a 25 y/o solid middie and another passable or solid wing(can't remember) and sold both of them.

[vex]

Press Announcement

Sidekicks took the lead in the games 8:th minute with 0 - 1 after some elegant plays down the middle. Marco Andersen was the scorer.

With a shot floated in from just outside the penalty area in the 11th minute, Juán Gagnon of Plowboys evened the score to 1 - 1.

Mario Barnett easily put the 2 - 1 goal away for Plowboys.

The Sidekicks didn´t give in and after 18 minutes Michael Kirkpatrick got through the home sides central line of defense, rolling in the levelling goal to make it 2 - 2.


2 - 2 was the half-time score.

The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Sidekicks, with an impressive 55 percent possession of the ball.

That's definitely the best B team attack that I can recall. I'm actually very pleased with our performance. Thanks to the Plowboys for a great match in which neither team could seem to get the ball in the net.

[sterlingice]

Woo! The Sidekicks are back!

SI

[vex]

Now if the Morrisville dynasty would just start back up, everything would be back to normal

What happened to our proposed name change anyways?

The NE Morrisville Hippopotami???

[daedalus]

'Bout damn time this came back. Darn it.

[vex]

Training Results


Form Changes

Great week for form as 6 players went up, and only 2 went down.

Notables: Solid Keeper, Admir Podbog, is back to excellent form.

Mats Vikin, passable defender, jumped from poor form to inadequate. We purchased him in wretched form, so this is nice to see.


Skill Jumps

18 yo midfielder, Ulrik Dehllind, bumped up to passable playmaking this week. His stats are now the following;


Ulrik Dehllind
52 000 US$, 18 years, passable form
Has disastrous experience and poor leadership abilities


Stamina: inadequate Keeper: disastrous
Playmaking: passable Passing: poor
Winger: poor Defending: inadequate
Scoring: weak Set Pieces: weak


He gets 2 stars in inadequate form, so we'll see what he can do in passable now this week. Once we train stamina in the offseason, and get his up to solid or so, he will be a 2.5 star player for sure and maybe even a 3 star player.





Youth Pull

The Hattrick gods show how cruel they can be:


Jasper Conklin (12182196)
19 years, passable form, healthy

A popular guy who is balanced and honest.
Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities.

Nationality: USA
Assessed value: 159 000 US$
Wage: 1 360 US$/week
Owner: NE Oklahoma Sidekicks
Warnings: 0


Stamina: disastrous Goaltending: inadequate
Playmaking: disastrous Passing: disastrous
Winger: disastrous Defending: wretched
Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: disastrous



So I will lose 50 - 70K because it seems he missed a day of practice with his youth squad.

NE Oklahoma Sidekicks - Kandy Kanez


Preview

Last week, we narrowly defeated the Kanez, 2-0. They put up good defensive ratings, but their offensive ratings were "weak" across the board. Like I said, their defensive ratings were good... except on the right side, where they posted an "inadequate" rating. We had an "excellent" attack rating, but of course, it was on the wrong side. We decided to take advantage of that this week. And did we ever.

I couldn't have asked for more, so definitely no complaining from me this week.

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think their ratings changed one bit from last week.

We managed a 57 on the NSI which is our 2nd best all-time and best when not MOTSing. So a big congrats goes to the team for this accomplishment.

Our goal is a solid midfield and a 63 NSI rating by the end of the year/next season.


Time to hand out some shiny stars:

The nice attendance netted us $119,468. This was very needed as we were at -$273,000 before the match. We will now go back to -$200,000 by finding a 17 yo passable middie to train.

Jeez, vex...real bold with your predictions, huh?

Oh, by the way, good luck!

[vex]

Ok then, we'll go with 3-1 Sidekicks.

Morrisville is virtually shut down by the tough 1 star defense of the Sidekicks.
