It's because it was the first time we played with 7 players, so we changed the formation to try to avoid having someone play in defence. This was kind of new to us (some people were in different roles), as all we use is 4-3-2-1.

So I wouldn't say you were awful, just you are new and you came into a team that changed the norm.

We seem to be socring a lot more goals now. Think we're gelling well together and starting to understand our preferences.

And yes, Red was brilliant as usual. Always nice to have a DMF who actually plays that role!

It wasn't the striking role, I just noticed in that one game you were dropping deep and not calling for the ball at goal kicks so I was wondering if you wanted me to call for them instead and that's why I was askling how tall your VP is. I think Original?'s is 5'7 and I'm pretty sure I've reduced mine to 5'9 for the increased pace.

Oh I see. I'm 5'7. Surprisingly I do win quite a few headers though. Scored 3 of them last night

But yeah, sometimes I do have a tendency to drop deep. If any of you think it's not helping the team (or any other things you think I need to stop or start doing), please let me know. I'm not going to get the hump over any criticism.

Dropping deep (or wide) is fine as I tend to like a high position to break the offside trap and I'm sure either myself or Original? will see and move to take a more advanced role.

I have noticed many times where we've successfully swapped positions although I had worried it was because I'd crowded the central area and you'd gone hunting space on the right.

EDIT: One thing for everyone - in dry weather can we try a few more aerial through balls rather than ground? I too was guilty of a ground through ball last night which didn't get through when an aerial one, in this case, would've had Original? clean through on goal from 40 yards out.

Original? and I do it too. Always good to mix it up at times. I think it just naturally happens as well, which shows a good understanding between all of us.

Noted.

Agree with this, as a front three we can all play ST, RF or LF so rotating isn't a problem. I think we should try to do it a little more sometimes as it seems to create problems, obviously not all the time but once or twice in the game just mixes things up.

That said, I think in the rest of the team we need to keep our shape as much as possible. Particularly making sure the midfield doesn't get too close to the attack as it squeezes the opposition defence and midfield into a small space and leaves us short of space.

Regarding the aerial through balls, in the dry they are definitely a good idea... I remember that ball Sweey, I tried to do the same for you but despite pressing L1 and triangle my player hit it two yards along the floor directly to Joel's feet...

Just a side note, I selected our stadium on the basis that we only have good weather. Hate playing in the rain/snow. I dislike some of the stadiums with really high camera angles.

Very good idea. Snow in particular is a free-for-all where one second the ball bounces and stops and the next it bounces and thunders off the pitch.

What position would you like me to play tonight lads? As you may know, I'm pretty versatile and open to changing my Virtual Pro when needed.

Also, what time you all going to be on?

**Bammers05** · 07-01-2012, 17:53

We could do with someone marshalling the defence, as I don't trust the CPU defenders, for obvious reasons, but that's up to you - we don't want to put anyone where they don't want to play.

We normally go on about 9.

**Original?** · 07-01-2012, 17:57

I'll be on tonight but probably a bit later than usual. As it's the weekend I think it's best to start a bit later and stay on later.

***Sweey*** · 07-01-2012, 18:22

I can be on from around 9:30 tonight. 10pm isn't bad either.

**Original?** · 08-01-2012, 20:49

Decent session last night, calling for the ball, the team shape and (particularly my) finishing was a problem early on but we got it together and played very well later on.

I just wanted to clarify on the penalty, I was taking my time and waiting for the perfect timing and instead the power bar disappeared and the CPU took it for me. Fucked me right off, I would also like to apologise for my general shit performance.

You lot on tonight?

**Dundon's** · 08-01-2012, 20:50

Are you lads playing ball tonight?

I'll drop into defence if you're full up.

***Joel*** · 08-01-2012, 21:13

Won't be on tonight, so you can take my spot up front, Dundon's.

**Dundon's** · 09-01-2012, 17:34

Cheers Jo but it didn't happen, might try for a run after the Gunners game tonight if you're still playing. I'll play any where on the park where you need help.
