Haha yeah, that's not trying to be harsh but considering as a defense trainer you're not meant to give away shots either ;). I'm just frustrated I keep getting the wrong end of the scoreline every season :).
4-1 win over Roar. Quite happy with it even if he did decide to field a much weaker midfield.

Quite disappointing really. Back to the drawing board.
Real Galah went ahead twice, but eventually my strikers got the job done. Hirons was 3 from 12 and is seemingly trying to shoot his way into form. Really solid tactic from Galah through the mid and defense. Probably not quite enough width in attack against my back 3, but they still got through a number of times for very good looks.
Going to be interesting from here, hard to go past TBF though but anything is possible. My dark horse would probably be Chelsea. They've had a bit of a rough ride this season so far but they've been in this position before and have been the only side to knock off TBF's 1st XI in the past few seasons. A solid defensive line usually helps them to grind out results. Other sides who could potentially do some damage would include Tribe and possibly Achmids if they went in with 1st XI's.
Will still be watching this despite being out of the cup again, a question to Minkee/vivski though, is the State Cup still running this season?

Plans are being drawn for the State Cup. We're both keen to see it get up for another season.
New format... New rules...
It will be difficult to predict the winner before the last game normally...

It shouldnt be too long before we open the entries and unveil the whole thingy!

So long, thanks fo... - The Black Flashes
Tong FC - Tribe
Taigum Terriers - Chelsea.F.C
FCM tigers - Achmids Soul
No doubt that this was not what I was wishing for. Only open game if you ask me is FCM-Achmids Soul. The rest should be a-league winners all around.

You could argue as a theory that as a defense trainer that you give away more possession and thus give away opportunities which can be usually stopped with your compressed 5-man def around the box. I don't find it remarkable that I give u more possession (despite how good my three mids may be) and am not surprised that I often 'absorb' more shots from my opponent than I fire off myself.
I tend to very rarely win possession and rarely get more shots. But I do ok.

Yeah possession can be manipulated though by tactics, same as territory and the number of shots. Simplest example is play a winger against someone who doesn't and doesn't use a wing back. All ball goes to the winger and it takes time to catch them. Play an offside trap and you're certain to win territory (as I did last night).
End of the day I was only using your match as an example as it was the first I found where it worked the opposite way then it did for myself. All I was trying to say was that 4 out of my past 6 losses in the 5th round it was clearly dictated by my side, only 2 I'd argue the game was "fair" was against your side where you completely dominated against me, and against the Bears. That's what was getting me frustrated and then to see your result made it even more so (because I didn't win despite a large number of shots more and general play, yet you were able to capitalize better when the opposition had more shots). Probably came out the wrong way but it wasn't intended to.

Is Chelsea vs Comets tomorrow a grudge match?
Every game in the A League is a grudge match since we've all played each other so many times now but I suppose it is in the sense that when I got promoted to div 2 and Chelsea got promoted to div 2 we were initially in the same div 2 league so I guess it stems from that.
I'm all for the use of commas dave, but a 125 word sentence seems a bit extreme.
meh ;). I've probably had a longer sentence than that.
