Woo guys, it's all good. And a very tough to swallow loss in game 2 as manager. An absolutely epic 4th quarter collapse after a monster 3rd :(

It really brought our 2 biggest weaknesses to light though:1)A lack of defense, our offense was fine all game, but we just couldn't get it done defensively(10/9 defenses are just not going to cut it), and 2)another one that I won't mention here, but I'm sure everyone knows.

And now we have Spain :D

If anybody has any fun ideas to try out on roster/tactics just bbmail them to me.

Nothing to lose, so get wacky!(though make sure to give me a reason it could work.

What he really means is sign up for Englands combined offsite forum and suggest it there. http://w11.zetaboards.com/BB_ECU/index/ once registered BBmail me or SREZ and youll be granted access where youll then need to make an intro and then gain access to all the pluses that the offsite can provide.

Geez Eminence, take advantage of oppurtunities ;)

Or I suppose you could do that ;)

(I needed to meet my monthly bbmail quota!, darn you bballin)

0-3...

I think that it looks worse than it is though, I think we've played reasonably well the past couple of games, we've just had some really tough opponents so far. Hopefully we can start finishing up strong :)

gratz on your first win man! Slovenjia ain't a small nation and have a pretty good NT.

You were extremely close against Bosnia. Spain played an ISO, which was a test. Had they done that one neutral court, you would have won that one. England can once against aim for an ending in the top 4 now. You've got a decent crop of players, your U21 is in good hands ( you started that program btw) and the first generation of U21's from your program should be reaching you by now.

If you can keep this up, you might be able to push on further for the top. With all the nations being forced to think about salaries etc, there isn't such a large difference between the sub-top teams and the rest of the pack any more. Get a good GS update in a couple of key games and you might be able to challenge for more than just a top 4 spot. England still has a way to go, but you can't deny that since Eminence and Srez started up the program for the U21 in season 18, there has been a major improvement overall. First in the U21, making it to the european championship for the first time. And now the NT showing some pretty considerable progress.

I hope you can keep this up. you guy's are doing great. Srez really has had rotten luck this season with the U21. Narrowly missed out on a consecutive trip to the European championship and a truly rotten draw in the consolation tourney...

Thanks man, it feels great, and I really hope we can keep it up over the next couple of weeks!

yep great result there. i watched the last quarter - exciting stuff!

Good result.
We might not have great quality in our NT starters but we do have depth across the 12 now, which gives us a chance against most opponents.
Win the next 3 and it counts as a very good effort indeed.
