Just got in to find a 3 point certainty is still 0-0 http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif . It must be my midfield that is the problem.

Depends on the quality of your strike force.

I won a lot of games last year training defending.

[Birri]

2-1 now hope BA's prediction works come on Carlos!

[* ORM *]

And to cap it all 5th place is leading 2nd place away from home and have been down to 10 men since 22nd minute. Home team had 79% possession first half.

I could be 5th tonight unless I nick a goal.

[Kent Shrimper]

1-0 up against 2nd place http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Good job!

http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Now 4-0 up with another defender scoring. Making it: 2 defenders, a midfielder and a forward, all scoring today.

[Barmy Army]

Oh dear Birri:(

[Birri]

2-2 now ARSE!

[Barmy Army]

5-0 now, finally my excellent striker scores, poor form my arse!

[* ORM *]

2nd placed team have equalised. I'll still be 4th if scores stay the same. I should still be winning this game though.

[* ORM *]

And 2-1 to 2nd place team http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif 4th place is assured but I'd still like 3 points.

[Badger]

damn now 2-2http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

2-0 up now

All I'll say is :-

[Shrimpersarmy]

I'm 7-0 up, im 4th playing 5th, this win will put me 13 points ahead of them which means i am definately going to finish at least 4th this season http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

[Badger]

Crap 3-2 down now

It's all gone pear shaped http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[Badger]

3-3 get in there !!!!!http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[* ORM *]

1-0 - 3 points clear of 5th place and they have 2 tough games coming up. I reckon 4th is mine for the taking this season. Not bad though my target was 3rd.

[southend_utd_fan]

0-0, first draw for me. Im 8th with 4 points with a team who is 7th with 4 points but has scored 2 more goal then me!

http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/down.gif

Also this is my first points since 13th Feb! http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[Kent Shrimper]

2-0 home win takes me up to 3rd, my higest attendance ever and highest star rating 38.5.

http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[blues_r_best]

4-1 win away from home, leaves me in joint third and only 1 point away from second but seven points from first.

[Barmy Army]

6-0 win in the end.

Still 2 points off of the leaders

[Bob Cratchitt]

Dont mean to boast but i have just won 6-0 away to the 2nd placed team. Currently sit 9 pts clear of 2nd and only 3 games left off the season so I would say that I have now won the championship with auto promotion to level IV a possibility.

Also two of my IMs scored 5 and 5.5 stars http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif which is good news, I doubt i will set level IV alight but I will try to consolidate my position.

You got 2 more hatstats then me.

At least gives me an indication of how well I could do in Div VV

[* ORM *]

29 stars and 106 hatstats is a new record for me. I could now do with a decent YP or two together with another defensive pop to sell and start building for next season.

Your team's come a long way in a short space of time.

29* in Div VI should be good for a top 3 finish

Yes you do! With good reason though, congratulations!

Meanwhile, SZFC have an uphill battle. The team above me won so they're now safe. I need to get to 15 points to be safe, currently on 11 with 3 games left. Will be MotSing next week at home to the 4th placed team, if I don't win that I'm pretty much down as my final two games are the top two but if I can grab a victory I fancy my chances of nicking the required draw with a classic pressing performance in one of the games.

Fingers crossed. I'll certainly be here watching the progress next Sunday!

[MrB]

Oh and to celebrate my 5-0 walkover win I bought myself a brand new trainee:

Pontus Skogstedt (60156948)
17 years, passable form, healthy
A nasty fellow who is temperamental and honest.
Has disastrous experience and poor leadership abilities.

Speciality: Unpredictable

Nationality: Sverige
Total Skill Index (TSI): 1 960
Wage: 569 £/week including 20% Bonus
Owner: ShrimperZone FC

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

Obviously the scoring is not much use to me but with a bit of luck I should have an excellent defending, excellent passing 18yo at the end of next season.

Yes but i only had 10 men for the final whistle and hatstats are worked out only after the 90 mins, so going down to 10 men seems really affect the stats if not the match. I have usually got between 145 and 150 this season so was not surprised that the stats dropped so much due to the 10 men. But you are doing well and should be mid table of an average Level V

BA going on my experience of V.151 this season depending on the other sides in your league whan you promote I recon you would do about the same as Louy Louy Rovers in my league. They were the other side to go up and they are currently sitting 3rd. They got off to a flyer but they have slipped up recntly I have them last game at home and want revenge for the stuffing I got in game 1!

Fair enough. I missed that you had someone sent off

Spent 50K on what I thought was an excellent
19yo winger only to find he is a wing-back, which is very useful indeed for training http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

He'll still be able to double up as a winger but I still need one of these. What's the primary secondary(ies) that a winger rather than a wing-back should have please?

Playmaking/Passing for wingers

Defending for wing-backs.

Dayem ! - Passing and defending skills identical, playmaking non existent. I have two away weeks so I'm gonna have to wait a couple of weeks before finding the finances. How much will I get for finishing 4th ?

Not a lot.
