All
Have managed to arrange some tasty NT matches for Cymru's end of season build up to next season's WC qualifiers. All of them should be challenging, and hopefully our squad will be strong enough to ensure WC qualification on an ongoing basis from now onwards.
Week 11 Hrvatska
Week 12 Ireland U-23
Week 13 USA U-23
Week 14 Belarus U-23
Week 15 England
Week 0 Bosna i Hercegovina
Week 1 Brasil
Managed to get a match against Brasil as my farewell to NT management

Just had a little tidy up and eliminated 13 players from the NT. There's another 12 that will probably be removed in the next few weeks, so get training if you want to keep your players in the reckoning.
Deleted the above message cos it sounded too much like a moaning one to me when i re-read it and that wasn't supposed to be how it came across :)
That squad still needs trimming, Todd, Davies & Dix to name just 3 for the chopper.

Why are you picking on my players??
Todd is one of best up and coming 19yo - Talent 3 Excel in Def, Pace & Passing but hopeless form & poor Stm.
Davis is one of the best U23 (almost Full NT)
with Formid Pace, Pass, PM, Sol Tech, but AVG Stamina, hence lower value. There are only 5 better MIDS players in Cymru & 4 of them are above 26
Dix is Cymru's only Unearthly PM (2 levels higher than anytone else), and he's now being cross trained in other skills, but it maybe a bit too late for him as he's already 26.
Also dropped all of Illution's players as none of his NT players have played for 3 months, Incl Miller & Lane(shame on him)
Anyway, I've given a bit of lurve to Loveless & brought him back ;-)

ok then if Davis is near full NT with no defending and that sort of stamina we really are fekked in midfield :(
bah only a game, maybe I'm picking holes when I shouldn't.
must be spending too much time on ths me thinks

Actually, his Striker & Def arn't that bad
It's just his stamina & form that keeps his value down. He's due a pop in PM & Passing when I start training it again next season, after I've sold Hanley to Bruno.
Oliver Davis, age 22
value: 135 750 £, wage: 1 395 £
adequate form
bookings:
average stamina, unfortunately he came out of JS at tragic
formidable pace,
solid technique,
formidable passing,
tragic keeper
good defender
formidable playmaker
very good striker

If we were to play 4.4.2 as normal, then
The problem we have is that everyone wants to be a striker trainer, and we only need 2 strikers but have about 8 (Connor, Nevill, Gornall, Watkins, Jeremy, Gray, Bunn, Jacobs) that are or will be competing for those 2 places.
We need 4 Mids & have only 8 or 9 (Watkin, Churchyard, Grey, Tomb, Dix, Moses, Johnston, Davis & the lost boy Miller) competing for those places, mainly trained overseas.
We need 4 Defs & have 4 competing for those places. In fact, the Top 4 are miles ahead of the competition. (Mutlow, Batts, Wilcox & Stacey)
We need 1 Keeper & have one God Vaughn Whistone, plus some keen onlookers Gregory Hoskins & Ieuan Timothy
So we need others, like me in Cymru to train (NON - Strikers)

I will be moving to training mids once my 19yr olds hits 24 or 25 but thats a few seasons away.
However, I dont think that more welsh managers are training strikers is our main problem. Mids could quite easily be trained by foreign managers same as our defenders (2 or 3 aint trained in wales).
The main problem for us is our small userbase. Strikers only need 3 skills and the rest is just a bonus, defenders could get away with just 2 skills with a stretch but 3 high skills and 2 medium would be best. As for midfielders, well they need 5 skills as high as possible and even some scoring(a 6th skill) could look nice on a mid.
What does the amount of skills needed have to do with our userbase you ask ?
Juniors
Pulling a good keeper, defender or striker trainee is alot easier than pulling a good mid trainee. To state the obvious, we will pull more juniors suited for training in other positions compared to mids. All we can do is try to make sure(hope) the good mid pulls we do get does get trained.
Its just a pity that alot of the players that fits into that catergory happens to be in illution which now will be lost :(
All we can do now is hope we get some more mid trainees from our junior schools and hope they get trained.

I used to be a mid trainer on Hattrick, and when I joined Sokker, I decided to not train the same thing, so I started training strikers.
Now on Hattrick Im training defenders aqnd maybe its time to think about a changing on my training on Sokker, need to decide what our NT needs more, mids or defs.

tbh our Nt needs everything apart from perhaps keepers.
Going back to Davis, he is better than I gave credit for, but I still believe his defending is 3 levels to low for our NT, or maybe I place too high a price on midfielders with defending. Or perhaps the more realistic thinking is we have no alround midfield players beyond Grey and the now gone Miller.
The flip side is at least you are trying to train Welsh guys, and in fact the only people who have said anything in this thread area ll trying to train Welsh guys to some level.
I guess it just comes down to a numbers thing.

Everything I've been doing, since I joined sokker is to help our NT. Finally Im going to have 6 strikers to our NT, different ages, so they can help the squad a lot. We need more people like us, as Matty said in his post, to give 100% dedication to our NT players.
I'm pretty sure that even with a few (20 managers) we can build a strong a NT. I know aswell that we may not find, talented enough players to be trained (my 6 arent talented 3-4, some r 5, but still from our country) so I think having maybe 1-2 trainees from other countries aint bad aswell, but in majority, the trainees should be from our country.

Every smaller nation needs all kind of players ;)
Decent pulls are scarce and if you start looking for decent MID juniors ... you can count them on 2 hands :) When you skip to nice MID juniors who have some defending, you can count them on 1 hand :)

End of season, so end of a term for the NT coach. Elections have started again. Think Matt will take care of it, but doesn't seem a problem in Cymru :)
