hey everyone

thor asked me to do some scouting here and lend a hand so here i go

g1

5/3/2011 8:30:00 AM 90 Barbados U21 -- 19 Canada U21 Peru

ok this will be an ugly ugly game

as thor has already said they worst player is better than out best and so our best option is to keep the score low, on the other hand canada will be looking to really run us out of the court and create a massive pd

team canada

they have only 8 guys on their team as no doubt they have the other slots reserved for saving guys later, but what an 8

William Rivas 54k c
David Castro 48k c
Dwain Hadley 43k sg
Paweł Niestępski 39k c
Gerry Stavridis 34k pg
Diant Stronks 30k sg
Taylor Cutler 22k sf
Thomas Simmons 20k pg

so while their big men are great their guards are super strong as well

our team

i am not sure at all what sort of lineup troy is goig to run but i am sure it will feature our one good player Gary Arkless

for our team we really only have a few options
Gary Arkless 11k sg
Patrick Marlin 8k c
Mar Trickey 7k pf (trained right here in australia by a friend of mine :) )
Youssou Barnes 7k sg
Aïdara Reidy 7k pg
John Golding 6k pg
Timothy Draper 6k sg

so we look weak at all positions and seeing as we also have gs issues with trickey and barnes things are really bad

if i was canada i would play r&g/fcp to rack up a massive total, my second less aggressive call would be to go li/m2m - also fairly fast and their killer big men will feast on ours

to counter that i would play a 3-2 zone (but the rebounds will hurt) and a slow high % offence like low post or motion - the quality of our passing vs inside scoring would determine this and i just don't know

i would tie as we have no chance and im sure canada will tie too

ok there is scouting report number 1

my prediction is canada by about 40

this is really nice...
thanks for that which matches pretty much my thoughts for the game.


still, although our hopes for tomorrow's game are limited...i would advice against making our strong points and weaknesses open to everyone who happens to read this forum....we are providing an inside scouting for our opponents for free :))))

am telling you that cause the first thing i did last wk was to read all updated posts reg U21/NT in the Canadian forum...:))))

as i said earlier keeping some players from bot teams is working...

now this player is available to buy...(20375609)

i have already contacted several international managers who are willing to train this player and maintain good game shape...
if anyone else is interested....then you are more than welcomed to bid for the player

wow thts great going guys especially fishy......great work....
canada will do some beasting..hey thot u lookin to give all the players on the roster a run?

Well thats gone.....as expected....

the team had a decent 1st half when we were only done by -18 points....
then everything collapsed...

unfortunately most players had a very bad g.s, thus the performance was worst than norm and the ratings were really poor. i.e:Trickey with such a bad game shape couldnt be in the starting 5 (abigfishy can you ask ur mate to help us with a decent g.s??)

Canada wasnt a team that we could fight...

Pleasant surprise ...Mr Golding.

Next game against Uruguay will be again a training opportunity for us, to see how the team behaves in different strategies/tactics..

wow 3 points in the last 1/4 ...ooh well on to the next 1
well if i can do anything 2 help leme kno

yes there is something ....

keep training your players in orderfor the U21 to be able to have a decent team in 2-3 seasons from now ...:)))

there is hope since there are a lot of good players but need training...lots

Hey, I trained Tricky but he was always last priority and in the end I gave up on him as he just wasn't making progress. A pity as now he is on the team and we could have made him much better. So sorry, I can't fix his g.s. as I sold him. Instead I trained others and right now I have 2 on Jamacia senior NT, 1 on Rep Dom junior team and a future Bahamas player. I bid on Alan Seager but the price will go too high for me. I would have got him to your team easily, one season no problem.

no worries, thanks for the info though

Next game against Uruguay (No23 in the world)

this is another opportunity for the team to try new tactics and new players will be given the chance to prove whether they got what it takes to play for the NT...:)))


please all managers try and maintain a decent game shape for your players.

If some player has on Monday anything below respectable in game shape, then they will not be in the 12-man roster to travel to Peru for the game against Uruguay
