Subject: [U21] Purple043

at last.

at 27 we got a red card. the problem was not big enough since the other players filled the blank that morrison left.
but the problem got much bigger when our wingback got suspended.
at that time we had no player to play against 2 players that player in andorra's right wing. luckilly gillespie but wallace as well played good enough. I had an order in case of a red card of any of the 4 defenders but morrison was the man who should substitute any of them. but morrison was not there.

our mid zone is a standard.all of our midfielders play extremely well and help in def and att.

our strikers are not the best but I think that we can find a way to create some opportunities.
the not good thing is that vagana is not trained as it should be. he lost 2-3 trainings. and thats a pity because he is the most talented I have ever seen here in new zealand. i have contacted the manager but im not sure if he will be trained properly.

I checked 2 other players in today's match. Welch and Kirwan. im not satisfied from them but it was a test.
I always try to find the pros and cons of the opponent in order to have the proper formation.
this is what I will continue doing even if at the end the result is a loss

since today all 21yo ( except Gillespie ) are going home and the plan for giving extra trainings to u20 has started.
I will be candidate here in new zealand again. I think and I hope that we can do even better this season that we only have friendly matches.

today I also had Mike Harding, Nathan Tickle, Gary Anderson just for one match in order to save them from botification. I believe its a right decision based on the small amount of players that we have.
I also had Kilkenny and Kirwan for 90 minutes. Although they are not ready as players and although I dont even know Kilkenny's skills I think that these 2 players will be the main defenders till they become 21.

if there is anybody who is reading these and has anything to say ( questions or anything else ) please feel free ..

Hey man, you are doing a good job, its refreshing to have a manager open to suggestions, I have 1 really good player for you to look at :

Don Mannering, age 19
value 288 400
good stamina tragic keeper
very good pace hopeless defender
very good technique excellent playmaker
very good passing good striker

De Gregorio is starting to look good too.

Rodney De Gregorio, age: 18
value: 206 000 NZ$
average stamina hopeless keeper
weak pace unsatisfactory defender
adequate technique good playmaker
excellent passing good striker



good to see musin playing well, he is my hero haha
