Subject: Season 72

No logic for me, I can understand having an 11th that you can train or not without worrying about it due to injuries.

The only explanation I can come up with is if you're farming talent. So you buy 20, stick them all on Pace, keep the ones that pop in 1 or 2 weeks and sell the rest. It's still a waste though as everyone ends up losing 2 weeks.

Scraped a 2-1 win today. I think. Somehow my match finished before the league table has updated.

Lost 3-2 at home to Squeezers - conceded yet another penalty for the winning goal.

Not getting the rub of the green at the moment but the passing wasn't up to scratch and should have converted more of the chances I had. Looking forward to my key midfielder returning from injury soon!

Another draw despite better side. Scoring well but conceding just as many.

5-0, job done, starting to actually look like a team again.

Today another red card and two more injuries. It’s a miracle that I won the match.

I see that I’m not the only one having problems this season with injuries and red cards in my team. But I also notice that once again there’s a coalition against me, involving unfair play as well. This already happened last season and now it’s continuing. Teams play with their best lineup against others, but not against Thamesmead Town FC. I don’t think it’s a coincidence, especially since my friend Truffs logged in multiple times before the match.

Padstow Rovers 2-3 RTS Widzew Łódz

68.9 average mark 72.3



Thamesmead Town FC 11-0 Padstow Rovers

70.5 average mark 42.2

I've noticed something like this happening to me as well, but it may be due to teams prioritising training or the cup.

So you’re trying to tell me that our friend Truffs is preparing for a cup match, even though he’s playing against a team with only 46% strength and without an owner?

Yes alas I forgot to set my line up and played my reserves!

I'm saying that some people prioritise training in 1 league game a week, but that this irritates me.

Squeezers Vs Eudaimonia (57)
Squeezers Vs Avon (53)
Squeezers Vs Warta (50.5)
Squeezers Vs Colne (54.2)
Squeezers Vs Northern Thistle (53)

That is totally inaccurate, last season I played most of the season with 4 people injured....I had 5 injured at one stage but I believe around 20 injuries or more. I had other games where you played others reserves and I didn't...........Padstow would never favour me over you that's a frankly ridiculous thing to say. At the end of the day the simple fact is you have 2 young trainees and myself 8 so there is no comparison and this season will be a walk-in the park for you eventually. Plus, honestly I don't care if you or I win as I am enjoying training young players again :)

I 100% believe you forgot to set your lineup, I have NEVER played your reserves in the league before and I think anyone who believes otherwise should look through our games over a long period! If anything I always see our games as ones of my most difficult. You have strong tactic and a strong team and you are a strong manager full stop.

I have lost another 80k+ this week after my home game. :(

This season is going to be hard work indeed financially.

One plus point so far is no injuries and full training which really was a killer for me last season. I reckon it must be cyclical............
