Subject: National Team U21

Yeah lets hope...

Solid win. More points in the bag.

Lol forum is quiet for once :(

It will have moments like that. I’ve just been quite busy past week or so and haven’t commented too much. If you want some more discussion come lurk in our top league forum for all the league banter that goes on :p

Waite reduced his injury to 7 days today but still doesn't receive training. Can't really remember which update comes first on Thursday, hope it's the injury time. Would be good as he drops to slight tomorrow for sure and maybe pops to 10 striker. Very unlucky if the other way around.

I believe it the other way :(

He needs to be slight injured wednesday to get training

Saturdays match is against southafrica. Some u20 get the chance but not so many we risk anything. Jirra ponting, our world star def, has 2 bookings, so he dont play as next match is vs Ukrainia. Some players out with injuries aswell.

----------------------- spoiler alert ---------------------------------













It almost was failed mission. We first score in 73. minut on a semi lucky goal. Pilic tries to cross, but hit the bar, ball goes in play and Mundy gets first on it. And then our second goal first came in 90. minut. We had 16-2 shots in our favour, so playing best squad wouldnt have mattered much, as the better strikers dont have better striker skill. Waite and Sekoluski was anyway out injured and Ponting had two yellows, so best possible squad and what we played was pretty similar.

But mission accomplishied, next up Ukraine, for the all decisive two match in row.

Hope that Ishida will recover for next match

Ishida is only playing when we playing South africa and Thailand.... there Are better 21 yo's....

Thailand won over Ukraine.... massive boost for us... means we go into the bracket heads up in front by 4 points

Nice work mate.
Sometimes you can only just get the win even against teams you should destroy but a win, is a win.
Keep it up!

I have set the lineup for match vs Ukraine, there will be a debutant who even starts after some nice development and player who made some impressive comeons for us in other matches also start.

The squad is pretty impressive, i feel good about the match, lets hope for no injuries up to match

I will look into writing to the number 5 to 10 best def mids each age owners and tell them it could be only chance for senior NT maybe if they turned them into defenders. If i make the cut there, there will for instance be 24 age 25-30 mids to fight for mid position.

Many u21 defs, have bad secondaries, so if the subtop best def mids are trained defs, we will have good secondaries on senior NT defs, and this maneuvre is essential to make.

If just 2 each age do it, means there will be 12 high class defs extra age 25-30 compared to if they were trained as mids

I started massive work on NTDB, i found a player like this for instance not in NTDB

19 yo

poor [3] stamina poor [3] keeper
solid [8] pace very good [9] defender
average [5] technique excellent [10] playmaker
