Asunto: »[Cup] S21 Australia Cup

took the risk of playing 2nds, and lost. 2-0 with my seconds is decent, shame my striker couldnt get any in with 7 shots to his name.

Despite an early red card we looked to be cruising with Stewart dominating the center of the pitch and supplying Hirons often.

We conceded 3 more goals in 10 minutes shortly after the break... just before my conditional orders at 60 minutes when we saw Sterjovski, Villafane and Hresko all join the fray.

Full credit to the Owls who utilised the gap left by the card to generate some great chances and were good enough to finish them off as well.

Wow, from madly in love to depressed in the space of 4 days - you need to tell them to toughen up!

Its been a bad week :(

My 3rd goal was also strange. In the 42" a big lob from the half-line lands on the cross-bar once, twice, then falls to Stegeman who drills the goal.

The Melbourne Maggies are at it again!

Yeah, by their ratings, it looks like they played their 1sts, so in my books deserve to go through as they were prepared to risk more than I

& risk it I did....you managed to hack down my now to be #1 striker (Catala will be gone shortly via the TM)...& in the 86th minute...out for 3 weeks! I suppose it could've been worse if it was Catala given he was TLed whilst playing.
A missed pen at 1-0 had me thinking why did I change my pen taker for this match....& there's the chance to make sure of it but Haar redeemed himself with a headed goal shortly after.
Still, a totally new formation with 3 strikers seemed to go ok...& Morley covering your "wide boy" for most of the part seemed to work.
Trying to rejig the squad so was hoping to cause a cupset or two....not overly fussed with promotion this season.
:-)

I haven't watch yours but my 48' one is of the same caliber if not more impressive...
Outside the box, corner post side and lobbed the goal, hit the bar then hit the post it seemed :P

1/8s
The Black Flashes - The Comets
Tong FC - Team Moose Power
Krayzee Coconuts - Tribe
Melbourne Magpies - Frogmeisters15
Cumlionibus - Devil`s Angels Uni...
Da Minkees - Larikan FC Roar FC -
Chelsea.F.C FC de BEARS - Snappa Serpents

7 AL clubs still in the running, that's pretty good at this stage.

I'm happy with the draw as even if it will be a hard and even game (considering my fortune with cards and injuries this season) I still got a chance to make it tothe quarters twice in a row.

i think this is the furthest i've ever gotten in the cup...

still gonna be playing seconds throughout, training pace

Hmm decision time, can I beat TBF with my 2nd's.

Yes you can. ;)

Oh no, not Tong!

i played surprisingly well against tbf just let in four goals to lose :( ether way play your tactics right you can overcome him easily

Well vivski, you know I'm going to play my firsts. And I'm going to bump up my ticket prices. :)

If I use my 1st's I probably don't even need to get my tactic right :p.

Winning isn't my issue exactly, it's planning for winning with the minimum amount of impact for training/fan mood.
