One of the Tiger Cats gets one on one with our keeper and slots it past, 1-1
League Banter - The Matchday thread
Smeg! 1 - 1 in both games!
Current results would keep me 5th...
I better score some more goals then
Watch it, I might have to put out my secret weapon.
BOOM! Charlie tree makes it 1 - 2 to The Trains just before half time.
Los Halcones scored as well to get up 1-0 in their game.
Fafe & the Tiger Cats stay tied at 1.
These results would see the Trains 5th, Los Halcones 6th & Fafe 7th
FFS 16th place team is beating me 2-1
Tiger Cats score and the Fafe are 2 - 1 down!
Fafe down to 9th!
2nd goal to Leilei and it's back to 2-2, back to 7th, man this midtable is tight.
We like tight.
Especially tight and wet...
Trains going mental! 1 - 4 up.
What a weird game.
7 shots in the first 13 minutes, 10 in the first 22, yet no goals until the 72nd minute.
Then, up 1-0, Muir gets sent for a straight red, meaning he shall be passed as Waikato's all-time leader in games played.
Never mind, my bench MC will score a minute later to make it 2-0.
Oh and then he'll set up my bench striker in the 78th to make it 3-0.
10 men, it seems to do the trick.
Three players suspended for the next game though, there will be trouble!
I have to be happy with a 2-2 draw away to one of the better teams in our division, Leilei with a brace last night 14 goals in 14 games, or 8 in 9 in the league now. Though Syred has picked up another yellow and will miss the next game, in comes Chuck Stewart, while Frolov is now only one game from a suspension as well.
another draw, 2-2, against a team I should have dominated. I did change from my direct style to a short passing one which I think hindered the lads a bit. Still I'm 3rd with a 2 point buffer on 4th, 2 points behind 2nd and 5 behind first. Carey missed out last night, thankfully my two OCM's managed to chip in.
Happy with the 2-0 win, new striker Nick Duck scored on debut.
AD Fafe will be a challenge.
Not overly ambitious with season goals this time around, hopefully I'll be safe in the top 12
1-0 loss and I have dropped into the relegation play off zone
Haha I forgot to set sponsor goals....
Haha I forgot to set sponsor goals....
Amatuer!
You don't know what you're doing!
what do they default to?
Pretty happy with my league goals right now, am on target for them all.
Goals scored 50 in 34 games = 13.24 in 9 games (Scored 14 = Over)
Goals conceded 50 in 34 games = 13.24 in 9 games (Conceded 13 = Under)
Finish Top Half = Sitting 7th of 18.
Another big night in League 1 Group 1 tonight as the midtable battle heats up.
AD Fafe (7th) have got MC United (9th)
Los Halcones (6th) travel to R.AKL Academy (17th)
The Trains (5th) have Richmond SS (10th)
While the non-YF team in the battle The Grudge (4th) face KCU (1st) in the TV match of the round
Makes for some nice tight battles tonight and should also mix up the midtable even more.
Yep, must win game at The Bush. Chew, chew!
Taking my chances with very attacking tonight, it's a depleted line-up for me but the team I'm going up against has a 3.5 star keeper, a 4 star RB, but a 1.5 star forward and 1 star CB, anything could happen in this one, bloody B teams sometimes.....
3rd vs 7th for my game tonight, need to win to stay in the hunt.
Los Halcones the early part played are down after Wynton Rufer scored for Real AKL Academy.
My own team seem in charge and hopefully can break down the strong defence tonight.
Wynton Rufer scores a second and it's 2-0, KCU have also scored against The Grudge.
This means the Trains move into 4th, Fafe up to 6th & Los Halcones drop to 7th.
1-0, top of the league for the time being
Nice work Niall, hopefully you can stick there, got to be easier to get up than through the playoffs.
I definitely won't end top, top 3 is a real possibility though. Not sure if I want to go up just yet, but I won't turn down the opportunity by tanking.
Well The Trains have scored, and then Los Halcones scored two more goals, so Trains up 1-0, and Los Halcones move back to a draw in their game.
Haha and Frolov just saw Yellow, so looks like Stewart will score a second start next match.
Nooo and just after the yellow the opposition got through and scored dropping us to 9th.
Grudge down 0 - 2 against KCU so that puts The Trains up to 4th at the moment, The Bush is jumping. Charlie tree gets his 11th of the season...
Well I am now down 2-0.
Got shown no clip, the highlight showed me attacking, my guy getting tackled, and then the score was 2-0
...Turned into a thrashing as we are now down 3-0
That Wynton Rufer is a gun! Someone send him to Germany!
looks like I might have underestimated their attack ... switching from a slightly attacking 4-2-3-1 to an attacking 4-1-3-2 might leave me a bit too open at the back
One goal back after 54 as Tim Pink steps in. 3-1
damn, and there's the Wynton Rufer hattrick on 52mins, can the Falcons pull one back?
