Are you planning to lower them then, as our U21 players are simply atrocious for the moment.

I have said you should update the minimum requirements because I have a player qith skills much higher than the minimum and he is not in the U21 NT team...
2008-05-14 16:41:01
Hi,

Those minimum requirements are also only a guideline, and help to advertise to sokker players whether or not their players have any chance of being selected for the NT. Actually, I did select your junior, John Walters for the U21 NT and he played 2 games and was extremely disappointing, hence I dropped him. End of story. However, if he improves sufficiently enough to merit re-inclusion in the team, then I would have no objection to picking him again. Good luck with his training.

However, there is unlikely to be any more U21 games for another 3/4 months, as I have already agreed the end of season games, and the WC qualifiers commence again next season, so only the full NT and next season's NT prospects will get any games for the rest of this season.

I don't understand why, this is not the real life where you see players and you like one much more than other... this is a game with skills, a man with higher skills than another is better, you only can say that form influes but other reasons like he plays bad, for me are not reasonable...

another 6 this week but mostly trash

Joshua Goodall poor 5 Reject

think I'll keep both of them for now
2008-05-19 22:12:57
what a shame about his technique:(
are you gonna train this man or do you sell it??
2008-05-20 21:26:22
I'm training him, and I've switched to technique :)
2008-05-21 16:11:05
how come we can't create a new topic anymore??
2008-05-21 19:38:53
Blindness from the awful design of the new site?
2008-05-21 22:13:27
If they don't change it soon I'll probably just log in once a week to keep my team going.

It's awful, it hurts my eyes!
2008-05-21 22:22:49
I've managed to change it back, but you need plus to do it.

If you go in to Media under Office you can select the Sokker Classic skin, which puts it back in the old style.. Only good if you have plus though!
2008-05-21 22:37:46
Works without plus... not the blue skin I used to use but my eyes aren't aching anymore!
2008-05-22 09:23:28
I've also changed mine to the classic design. Its not quite the same but close enough to be bareable.

There are already other skins btw. There is some in the english forum.
