Tactics and Training-If you do do what i say below and sign D'Elia,or any other pacey striker make Jones target man and play balls to his head,then make him have through balls on often and watch as he gives the ball to D'Elia and another ball is in the net
Who To Buy-I suggest loading all from a european minnow,i did this with Liechtenstein and Fabio D'Elia wouldnt stop scoring,I also signed Cristoph Biedermann,also any cheap loan/buy will always work. Also Aaron Brown from Reading is a must have.

i would'nt call them complaints mate it woulda taken a while to do this and im sure a few guys will have a look and give grimsby a try. Think of it as constructive criticism to make your next one even better.
