Ok guys most of you know that I've been managing Accrington for some time now. You probably know that I am currently in the premiership. I have noticed that this happens almost all the time!
- In the last 5 minutes of a league match, the opposition scores once or twice to give them a draw or a win. After 20+ matches I still don't have a clean sheet, though my defence is pretty good
- All these goals come from defensive lapses. Missed interceptions, penalties, defenders giving the ball away, defence going up unnecesarily despite leading etc.
- I have tried many tactics - my own, Fed's supremo v1 and 3-4-3, Wozza's Widge, Capitano Demolition Home, Away and v4, yet this still happens
- I have found that one player, Rudolph Austin, is especially prone to giving away penalties. Yet he has good tackling, decision and aggression attributes. Take him out and the penalties stop, but the rest continue
- In the first round of cup competitions, it is always 0-0 after both legs and extra time, despite me controlling the majority of the game and easily having 3 or 4 times as many chances as the opposition
- I have scored the 2nd most goals in the league (44, which is second to Arsenal's 46), yet I am 19th because I've conceded about 60!
- The shots I take are either saved by a somehow magnificent goalie (remember these are League 2/Conference teams) or take a deflection right on the line and go for a corner. The corner trick doesn't work either, even though it works in my other games
- The penalty shootouts are surely bugged. One keeper suddenly become amazing at saving them and/or the penalty-takers just miss. In the second instance of this (FA Cup), I was playing Morecambe from the Conference. Just before my first three penalty-takers stepped up, the commentary would say The referee waves away his protests and they would all balloon the shots wide or high or both
I know it might seem that I sound like a sore loser, but every single game, no matter how well I play, I concede so many goals. Even if i score 3, they scored between 3 and 5.
If anybody has experienced something similar, or can help me fix this, please reply! Thanks
