Asunto: Competition Time

They wanted a 1st XI match to test their tactic against a stronger NT, so by that logic, we'll be going in with our 1st XI side again. I'll look for an U21 opponent for next week to give a bit of variety to the season so far.

Ouch, 2 red cards before we could actually find the back of the net...

that game joins the Bulgaria match in a pile left to itself in a corner as far away from where I sit as possible :(, wasn't particularly impressed.

Hopefully the next game will be better, haven't arranged it yet but will be done asap and the competition may continue :).

Waiting on the opposition manager to accept but it looks like we're playing Crna Gora this week and we'll be going in with our U21's against their top side. Should be some good preparation ahead of India next week.

you think we'll get away with the win with our U21 vs their seniors?

I think so, India might prove to be a bit tougher but I believe we've got the depth to win both.

Let's see to name a few players we've got Deeley (who has played 1st XI matches) in goals, and up front we've got Kearton (also played a 1st XI match), Maras (who isn't a slouch either).

Think the only real "weakness" if we have any is in the midfield.

That's where it gets tough, because in order to organize games against weaker opposition you need to be able to give them some incentive as to why they should play you but at the same time you don't want it to be too great to make it theirs to lose.

i still dont know what to tip...
:)

ok just a reminder that it's the same system as last week and we're taking on Crna Gora. We're going in with our U21 side against I presume their 1st XI side.

Australia 1st goal: 5
Crna Gora 1st goal: 0

Australia 6 - Crna Gora 0
