Subject: Sokker Scotland Think Tank

I think its about time we had this :)

this could be a place where we share our knowledge or simply ask for advice or any helpfull tips

if anyone and i mean anyone wants a look at my team or has a point about my awful tactics or stupid mistakes feel free to either say here or pm me

i enjoy this game loads , but im in a rut at the moment and its killing my enjoyment

here is a tip

"dont eat yellow snow!" ;)

smartarse lol :)

on a more serious note.......

tactics

Always ensure you move your Defence in a line - do NOT play sweeper or anything stupid like that.
Never have your defenders push up beyond the half way line - its silly and wastes energy on them.
Same with forwards - dont bother bringing them back.

The game in anything is actually devised in a way that if you keep your defenders in a line, get width on the park and length with your forwards you stand half a chance.

A lot is said about throw ins but until you are happy with your tactic leave them alone. After your happy you can watch where your players are positioned in throw ins then change them accordingly - same with corners.

If you are bamboozelled by tactics then go to the association. Langhe has posted areas where you can view tactics he created - i have done the same.

For me my golden rules are....

Defence and forwards move in a line. Create your tactics with 45, 90 and 180 degrees in mind i.e. look on how to utilise the diagonal pass - on the flip side look how to stop that diagonal pass. Dont leave massive gaps in your defence.


Now for the golden rules.

Keep the high balls low.
In midfield give it and go.
If in doubt - "AFF REF" is the shout.
If in the box - GO DOWN!

I've forgotten the password to access the code to the 3rd part of the secret handshake. Will you give it to me tonight before the gathering so that i can attend?

I've got the proper hat tonight.

Oh balls, we've gone all serious now. Looks like I've still got the wrong hat after all :(

Great wee post rtg

hopefully newer users see this thread and get involved more - i been playing years now and im still needing advice lol

wear the fox hat ;)

When playing against a tight back 4, like your last league match, consider using a winger. You should create more space for your strikers by pulling the wb wide which should equal more chances and hopefully goals.

Also consider using a back 5 when faced with teams using wingers.

Sent you a few pointers. Took me my the majority of lunch break to type.

Not approach the subject of tactics yet, just basics first.

Ooh the tactics. Lesson 2.
