Apologies if English isn't your first language but if you are elected could you please make more effort to post with proper spelling and grammar

Honestly since the u21 days its been obvious that if you cut woody he would bleed english blood. 34 years old Gully?? Geez woody, you've been on our NT so long you have seen some of your players reach retirement!

My question to all the candidates:

Will you continue the game recaps on the forum?

Many people cant watch the games live and will just quickly check the box score, so the recaps are a great way of knowing how the games go and how the NT is shaping up.

Thanks in advance

Yeah I'd enjoy game reports and I don't think we always get them for either the senior or u21s in England. Being fairly new still and not in the EBBL where most of the England players are (talking seniors here) I'm not that familiar with them / their strengths. Game reports would be nice to bridge the gap and get me more interested.

I'd be interested in reading about the tactical decisions made in games, but I understand even post game giving away stuff on the public forums might not be smart. We probably don't have enough users / activity for an offsite though. Hmm.

I felt the same way before Woody dragged me out of hiding and into the u21 set up. I didn't know anything about the senior squad before that or the u21s.

Not sure if Woody remembers this but he made some sort of mistake in reference to the division I was in when he posted something on the forums (forgive my cloudy memory on this, it was a while ago) and when I posted a correction he somehow roped me in to scout for him and I haven't been able to escape since!

I used to think I was saying too much when I posted about certain things. Its easy to reveal your thought process which can give clues to other managers. I also used to search opponents' threads for clues. (Google translate is really useful.) But I do think its possible to say for instance why you chose not to gdp, or why you chose a certain offence on a given day.

We did have an offsite which we shared with Canada but it became unused. As you say, there's not a lot of us.
