Subject: U21 National Team

Fantastic result fella- you deserved a good result to finish with after the good work you've done this season especially in the development of the squad.

its a good squad.. we hit >50 there last week.. and that should improve big time over the entire season...hopefully as high as 60, or just below

All in all not a bad group.

Sweden is the only tough game. be looking to win the other two for sure

Yeah we should go through with no problems:>

11 winners go through and 5 best second placed out of 11 groups :P

need to rack up a nice goal difference in other two games, or get a draw or win vs sweden.

decent draw though.. fixtures?

WEEK 02
Sweden vs ireland

WEEK 03
Ireland vs andorra

WEEK 04
Ireland vs Senegal

Home team sends invites each time, think its cup system to avoid draws..not sure about in group stages...draws should be allowed there!

updated with group matches...

1-1 with norway, not a bad result man considering! and pretty much dominated the match!

think we are suffering a bit of a form crisis at the moment :/

just lookin at values for next seasons team, and it looks at the moment like there may be a few problems there :/
especially up front..
current U21 best value

Hopefully tonights cup match will be a good tactical test for the match against sweden on friday. I'll see what changes need to be made after viewing the game later.
