Teamsheets MUST be in by 3pm on Game Day
BONANZA DETAILS COMING SOON
Its fair to say that with three weeks remaining til seasons end, we are in the midst as pundits like to call it, CRUNCH TIME. Every match from know until the final whistle will be key, win or lose. Obviously winning will be the strategy for the majority of clubs, not all can win. Expect to see some harrowing matches with upsets and mesmerizing wins.
With this weeks matches completed, Fiorentina and Sevilla have distanced themselves from the rest of the pack after winning their matches. Feyenoord and Atalanta trail by 5 and 6 points respectively. Valencia and Eintracht_Frankfurt close-up the top six spots, 10 and 11 points behind the top two seeds. So, a great deal is still at stake with so very few matches remaining.
A little tidbit on how evenly matched EFL2 is, out of the six top clubs only Fiorentina and Sevilla came out victorious on this match-day, with Feyenoord and Valencia both tying their respective matches.
Played a random and got battered on score but the game wasn't that out ofreach. I wont lie, knowing we was to get a random, just copied and pasted the last sheet kind of damned if you do kind of thing and effectively our their finishing was better on the day. We didn't play badly but one of those games, we do need to invest in a better goalkeeper, we can't run a 22 for too long so that's something we need to look at.
What looks like a standard away win was far from it, with our keeper getting man of the match the clue to what actually happened
It was quite an open game with lots of chances, but the keepers were on top of things, theirs saved 14, and ours 17!
It helped we had the better strikers and keeper than that was probably the difference.
Given we had two defenders out, this was actually just as important a win as last week, with only four at the back used.
Our strikers were the goal scorers, and Wijndal had a great game at the back.
Nice to see a 5 point gap develop below us, but there is still a lot of points to play for
Positives - The win with 2 defenders out, Nunez gets to 20 goals. The 5 point gap opening up, Owusu's keeper abs
Downsides - The amount of chances conceded, one booking.
