[Archived] Footy Manager 06
G Somerset Rover replied to benhben's topic in I Can't Believe It's Not Football Archive
I was quite dissapointed with some of the Rovers' players ratings. I thought the Admiral should've had tackling and marking 18+ for a start, and of course Gamst is a little overrated again...which we shouldnt complain about I suppose! Im looking forward to slecting a larger database to play from as well, because on the basic demo that I downloaded you couldn't attract or afford anybody to realistically improve the squad. Matty Taylor was about the only decent, worthwile signing that I made whilst with rovers. -

What are you guys making of the new demo? I think the games alot better, but I really hope that some of the bugs are ironed out before the game hits the shop son the 20th. For example Kelvin Davies is worth £8 million, and Arteta is reffered to as a winger?! -
Radio 1 newsbeat is harping on about how we and Newcastle have the hardest draw...Spuds is much harder than ours and we'd have to be dissapointed to not be in the top three in the group. Comon Boys-do us proud!

Remember on Thursday he was on the touchline holding his knee after another bad challenge from a salzburg player. Great win lads! -

Nonda's failed a fitness test , so it's Jeffers in, otherwise it's the same team that beat Salzburg. -

Aparently Sparky is mulling over the idea of offering the magician that is Tugay a new deal! -

G Somerset Rover replied to Ozz's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Great result-and Im glad that we have the chance to make our name in Europe. The team played very well last night without really moving into top gear-which is good news. I'm still however looking forward to getting Nelsen back-once his leadership and quality is back we could have a real chance of another top 6 finish. We're still looking a little suspect at the back...all of that despite Ooijer and Zura having cracking games, which is quite strange. Anyway, onwards and upwards!! -

Pitty this Mascherano and Tevez deal didn't happen a few months earlier! -

To be fair although he has a history of wheeling and dealing, and he may yet be guilty-I don't think Harry did alot wrong to be honest. If an agent mentions a player that you like of course you're going to say the things that harry said. It's hardly like he said "Yeah when can you get him to slap in a transfer request?". To be fair Rovers should only be concerned with that n***head Harrison who Lucas and Toddy need to kick into touch asap. -

Pleased with the win-don't get me wrong. We needed the 3 points so badly, so therefore the performance should really be irrelevant....BUT as others have said, it doesn't take a genious to work out that our defence is an absoloute shambles at the moment. What is it with ooijer and Zura? They're obviously not bad players: Ooijer is deemed good enough to play in the Champions League and the Dutch first eleven week in week out, and Zura proved last season that despite the odd handball/penalty he is a good enough defender. Is it language problems? Is it that their just not vocal enough to help each other out? Are the full backs not giving them enough support? Should the midfield have tracked Bartons numerous runs? I really don't know what it is but one thing is ceertain and that is communication is a huge issue between our centre halves at present. After their shwoing yesterday I honestly don't know if we can just keep playing the pair of them in the hope that they sort it out eventually. I really think that Todd is the only answer at the moment as I really don't think that Henchoz will prove to be good enough...then again anything is better than these clowns at the back right now. From the highlights on Footie First it looks as if it was a little harsh to take Jeffers off as the team were all over the shop, and he even had 1 good effort that sailed just wide. Nonda did look good though, so a strikeforce of Nonda/McCarthy with Jeffers keeping them on their toes will hopefuly be good enough to get the goals at boro-to make up for the one's we'll let in at the back!! Oh and finally as good as he looked and is, Bentley is our very own Robben and Diouf-that dive before Nonda's header was a classic. -

Tugs has to be nackered-they'd surely be no other reason to take off our genuinely only creative player? -

wakefieldrawks have we created any chances other than two MGP crosses that we scored from? The commentators around really are being less than complimentary on Rovers. -

Sounds like we need to get out of first gear despite going 1 up. The Sky commentator says that they've been all over us. Comon Rovers! EDIT-1-1 Joey Barton. and City creating "Loads of chances" -
[Archived] Salzburg 2 Rovers 2
G Somerset Rover replied to den's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
What's most worrying is the way when we have a lead at present we've got 10 men behind the ball for the last twenty minutes. I know we're nervy because we've yet to win this season, but you cannot expect to keep a team out for this long with no attacking yourselves, as the inevitable usually happens-as has with Everton and Salzburg. -

Anybody think that Hughes may stick with the formation from last night? I hope he doesnt and that we properly go for it...Citeh are poor opposition and need a good beating from somebody. -

I would have taken 2-2 pre KO, but you obviously have to be gutted in the manner of the equaliser. I bet we draw 1-1 or 0-0 to go through at home-we NEVER (once) win in Europe no matter the opposition! -

Hasn't been much better with 4-4-2 recently Cocker...although I do still take your point! -

Shillito although it's true that the UEFA Cup may affect our league form, it's a bit of a stupid thing to be not too bothered about how we'll do. What was the point in having such a good season last year then?! -
