Thx for appreciation again :)

Today will be a tough match. Guatemala has it's problems but just comparing with their squad - each player from first eleven is worth at least like Rodney Wildes (of course notes and walues do not play ;p)- but still as we can see on my last game between Saudi Arabia-Luxmebourg - with some dose of luck we can get a good result.

Todays squad:

Skład
1 Bradley Harrington GK
2 Tom Lee DEF
3 Rodney Wildes DEF
4 Gwyn Wilkinson DEF
5 Kenneth Barnhouse DEF
6 Rick Swanwick MID
7 Bleddyn Payne DEF
8 Hywel Pearson MID
9 Ian Skelly MID
10 Jim Elias ATT
11 Aaron Dykes ATT

12 Bill Andrus GK
13 Daniel Wynne DEF
14 Dougie Marlow MID
15 Ed Bourne MID
16 Andy Woodyat ATT

Change - Daniel Wynne comes on the field in the 2nd half, replacing Kenneth Barnhouse. I hope for notes
(edited)

For example - how our NTDB looks like - (the base will be todays squad):

1 Bradley Harrington GK
9 Ian Skelly MID
12 Bill Andrus GK

only those 3 player have unknown skills.

In the matter of Ian Skelly - manager didn't read my sk@ to update him. Sir Lewis read my sk@, but maybe he's not interested in u21s' fate :P - wich I understand - as I wrote - sokker is a game not life.

But I watched Ian at his last match - not bad midfielder. And in the matter of our goalies - I guess that Harrington is excellent on GK (value and notes) and Andrus is very good/excellent without maybe pace... - good future for harrington if he will be trained well in keeper skills - Andrus is 21 so...

:)

Big lose yet a lot of informations for me to analyze. For example weaker ATT got much more chances to score then our best one... that's always annoying :).

Todays match:

we were about to play with Island, but I couldn't log for a while and Island coach resigned and despite he send me invitation - he (without any message) dealt with someone else.

So than we will play with Sweden, but they should play with u20 squad - I asked for it and I hope I can trust their manager. Even though we will have to play hard. Is it possible I can only guess - but i've changed a little bit our strategy for this match, esspecially in forward formation.

Squad:

1 Bradley Harrington GK
2 Daniel Wynne DEF
3 Rodney Wildes DEF
4 Tom Lee DEF
5 Kenneth Barnhouse DEF
6 Ian Skelly MID
7 Rick Swanwick MID
8 Hywel Pearson MID
9 Bleddyn Payne MID
10 Aaron Dykes ATT
11 Jim Elias ATT

12 Bill Andrus GK
13 Gwyn Wilkinson DEF
14 Dougie Marlow MID
15 Ed Bourne MID
16 Andy Woodyat ATT

Change:
At 70' Ed Bourne for Ian Skelly

I didn't post last squad, cause I think it's pointless - squad has been changed due to I found players that were sold from Welsh Dragons and other teams (few seasons ago)- we have a brand new and prospective GK, and another one is going to be trained - fresh Delta youth - Jenkins

also I found third ATT so that we are right now on a good way to catch some points and I'm for real excited about our last two results - I thought that with Kazakhstan it will be much more equal match

also we could score more goals but I let Dykes to play as MID - while he's training technique at his team, but as we can see - Jim Elias had a lot of chances and as we played a little bit replaced (more right sided) ATT formation Dykes couldn't participate more in offensive actions

right now I have to think out with what strategy to go on Canada - they play with wingers that gave them 2 assists last match - that can be a slight problem :)

Hi everyone :)

Seems that it was our best match and Canada despite they thrown all best they could at the momment - they couldn't even score once. Not all from our side was perfect, but the tactics made off - 8 shoots from us and only 3 from them, but I play here long enought to know that you can shoot 10 times and lose for example 0:1 when "they" didn't even shoot at you :).

Next match will be with Paraguay - because New Zealand stays at U20 cup for the next round. Paraguay will play u20 - at lest I've got word from their manager :).

Cheers

Thx a lot again for your appreciation. A nice gruop only few injuries are not welcome here :(. Funny situation - we will play a doublematch with Jamaica this and next week.
