UAE1929

Came on to post similar, cannot defend to save my life. Players seem to have a habit of parting like the red sea. Definitely don't score as many as in previous years, current stats:

Even though we are playing like prime Barcelona, we cannot score and without being a tactician on the level of Pep Guardiola, I dare say it is linked with the fact that we got rid of our only goal scorer. We have conceded the most goals in the league (two or more on five occasions). United don't seem to score many, so I will go for a 1-1 draw and again the classic line of "the season starts next week" from Malky's followers.

Noticed that CD Keys do a discount if you pay with crypto, so got the Ultimate Edition for £60.

Certainly plays better than the beta, but still not sold on it. Most of my goals have come from switching play before crossing it in. Also found keepers to be exceptionally good or utterly shit, no inbetween.

It starts next week!

We won't win, most likely draw after leading. Afterwards we will hear how improved we are and that the season starts next week.

I haven't played it since I posted that, but I am fairly certain you can't buy packs on the Beta. I don't have much interest in buying it this year, will go back to FM!

County to lose three early goals, then pull one back early in the second half but not do too much more. Mackay will then come out with "I'm proud of the lads, and encouraged with signs in the second half" or something similar.

They are a hard bunch to please, natives can be a bit restless at times. However I do remember him from that Sunderland Till I Die documentary, and he was dropped for the Play Off run in as he completely went to pieces. Not sure if it was him, or possibly another lad who were hounded in a Tesco for being dog shit.

No, but losing seven goals in two games isn't something we can continue to do. Already our goal difference is taking a battering, as it did last year. That falls on the management, it's clear we're poor at the back, and it seems no real steps have been taken to improve it.

Of course he was... I believe even CaleyJags had a photo of said bottle, and numerous other bits and bobs your lovely support decided to donate.

Think it was more to do with the half bottle being chucked in his general direction. There seemed to be a period of time in the derby when both keepers were constantly getting pies chucked at them. IIRC Bullock was always fair game to pick one up and give it a bite.

What about next season when we compete in Europe? Short sighted imo.

I always thought Charlie Adam was a lazy fucker, never looked particularly arsed when he was on loan with us. Even that goal against St Mirren I put down to him not being bothered to run up the park a bit more.

Lovely shirt and boots to be fair

As I said before, it is genuinely like a game of Football Manager. Also, bringing it back to that interview the other day, Mackay stated his need for experience, yet continually brings in lads under the age of 23. I cannot work it out at all.

There is something rather disconcerting about Mackay's continued use of "Mr MacGregor".

I've been playing Ultimate Team, I had a 65 rated keeper, the amount of near post goals I conceded was ridiculous. I think the pace of the game has slowed down a bit. I've been double tapping R2 to knock the ball forward and I'd say on about three occasions I've managed to keep the ball in play. Seems okay at the moment, not sure how some people have managed to get the likes of Neymar and Mbappe in their side already.

Hopefully this cheers you up a bit, a video of our new intensive training regime. Screen_Recording_20210812-163526_Twitter_1_1.mp4

I can't remember if he punched or kicked now, but I'm certain it was to Connor Gethins. Klos did save it, Ian Maxwell (yes that one) took it for some reason. Still convinced if that game went to ET we'd have beaten them.

I'd imagine they'll do what they did during the Leitch era (possibly a bit later) when they had a burger van at corners of the ground. That being said, they have a fortnight to get it all sorted, and you'd hope that everything was actually in place before making the decision to part ways with the current lot.

Whilst it seems the clubs new model seems to be "act now, think later", at least they've had the decency to give them memberships for life.

It's almost like not being in management for five years has had some kind of negative effect? I am still trying to work out the reasoning for his comment yesterday about needing "men" on the bench so we can loan out the youngsters, only to go and sign three lads today who have a combined age of 63.

I think that is the name of the youth league down there. Opposed to him playing for a top tier side.
