Sorry for forgetting to put a topic up on the public forums, I thought I had but apparently I only put one up in the U21 association.
Overall I can't be too upset with the result, but I'm not the happiest with the game. It was pretty much a disaster there for a while and our defenders couldn't make a tackle anywhere without getting carded. In the meantime even when the opposing team tackles us in their box and we get a PK they don't get a red card :/
Cards won't be too big of an issue as I have plenty of defenders to play for the Iran game (weak team) but maybe if we had more than 9-10 players we could have gotten a few more goals to help our goal differential. Funny thing is though we never scored when we had 11 players on the field. Against Macedonia it was okay that we didn't score as many of our shots but when we play Moldova or someone better our strikers are going to really have to learn how to shoot because we won't get as many good looks as we had...

Presley and Oaker played well.
I would like to see them on the same side of the pitch next time.

Brand has better passing so that's why I put him on that side, plus oaker was in low form. Unfortunately, with the red cards brand moved back into the defensive line and it kinda left us with no midfielder on that side.
imo Oaker moved the ball forward much better than Brand did.
edit: If memory serves me correctly Brand is more of a wingback but understand your midfield situation.

Yeah Brand is a wingback but he has enough tech/pm that he can play that def mid position when needed. That's why he moved back into the defense though with the red cards.
And yea our midfield has just been troublesome. Between form, cards, injuries, and owners requesting I hold their players out of certain games, I have just been pretty much throwing whatever I can into the midfield.

Good win. Their goalie made some nice plays early on imo. Another fun game to watch. The cards were frustrating, glad to hear it's not an issue for the team atm.
