Subject: U21 National Team

Put the wrong Ferriter in goal didn't you ;)

Congratulations...you got away with it. ;)

I would say you got away with it.

Heh- It's happened to a lot more experienced NT managers than you in bigger games so I wouldn't worry about it :)

ffs

right. will break this down tomorrow... mehrtens with 5 shots getting 3 goals is great.. he wasnt even hitting the target in the last 2 matches..
keeper might be an improvement for the next match and shoud help us... can see them altering tactics for it though... think i got it pretty ok otherwise
- thanks Nin for the advice as usual!

negotiations are underway or the panama match.. at the moment, i will see about an U19 match, as we have a few great prospects, but in strikers and maybe 2 midfielders, we are lacking.. so will see abuot a few 20 year olds..
(edited)

5 U20 players, the rest of the squad is U19

looking for about 5 updates.. pm'd managers involved.. anyone else got a decent player, mail me!

will do up a draft squad probably later today and mould a team around that..

midfield is lacking, so will probably be the 20 year olds in there.. ian coutts smith, siatheramony, etc..

also maybe strikers..

team awaiting complaints in association forum :P

good result anyway..

offence did the damage it seems.
hopefully will get a look at it there later.. some personal issues to deal with first

up to 25th in rankings also with 3 winnable matches ahead...
top 20 finish by end of season, if we can win against them and lithunia
(edited)

The first winnable match was lost.....

i know :/

done tonight... must win game..
see what happens.. my net card is just up, so will see in about 12 hours what happens will use ireland personal forum thingy

6-1 win

good result.
as Nin said on private forum, qualification is still possible..

im really concerned abuot our defensive midfield though, if clohessy gets injured again, its a big loss :/

we really dont have any real central midfielder with a great balance of skills.. we either have offensive wingers, or defensive mids, who are derfenders more than mids...

another big game from mehrtens too... 5 goals isnt bad :)

1. Chile U21 21
2. Lietuva U21 12
3. Ireland U21 11
4. India U21 10
5. Malaysia U21 7


next week its lietuva vs india.

i really dont know what result i want.. i guess a win for india is best, as they play chile in the final match, which chile should win..

we have malaysia, chile and lietuva left to play

malaysia are about the same strenght as us..
lietuva a bit stronger maybe..

no more screwups from me and we can get second.. i dont think we will have enough points to qualify from 3rd if we manage it..
a draw vs chile might be a possibility :/

Todays match is probably going to be on at 12pm irish time... 1pm sokker time..
am going to work on the team after the 5:30 am update...
will use irish association for talks...
have a pc with unlimited time at the moment here in hostel, its just logged on, with no limit..so so long as nobody logs it off i can get more time online in.. plus nother half day today :)

malaysia tonight.. massive game.. we need a win, and a big one at that as it might come down to goal difference even!
