An awesome save from Bittner, I thought it was going to be a goal for sure.




Deskon Etuhu scores an awesome goal for Preston, and puts them in lead 1-0 so far.



Score at half time, 1-0

Can Exeter fight back and win this match?

Hmmm...not a great start to the season, but you're only one goal behind at the moment. Good luck for the second half.

Pertson easily take this match, not even one good attempt from Exeter in the second-half. Although good keeping from Bittner, made some good stops in the second-half of the game too.

One shot on target isn't exactly promising, at least it's only a friendly and you've got time to try a different strategy or a different mix of players though.

Yup.

Can you guys suggest any other tactic I can use? Like what formation?

You could use a 4-1-2-1-2. The wingers cross in the ball. The DM also slots some passes upfield. The AMC pushes the ball throught to the forwards or takes shots himself. So too the wingers and DM. The full backs get up as often as possible to cross the ball so the wingers can go inside the box to create more pressure. You can also go one stirker and two AMC.

Couple of points - there hasn't been an Indian manage an English side to the best of my knowledge, but I believe the Indian coach is an Englishman and a very good one at that.

Secondly - I wouldn't chop and change formations so much - better to find one and stick to it or players won't get settled at all.

You can't judge a formation on one result against a team three divisions above them, with midfielders playing out of position.

I wish Nikhil would stop spamming the thread. we were having a good discussion about wallets and purses
Mefinks you should make your own thread for that.

nah, wallets can be discussed anywhere.

Mines black leather and i'm fairly happy with it, it has enough space for all my cards and stuff and a pocket for my change.

meh report my post if you want, this isn't an FM forum we already have a 'How are you doing on CM/FM topic' and besides this is OT

Guys ok there is one change, I'm gonna move to UK pounds now since this is taking place in England and if I take UK pounds it makes it more real.


Team and tactic for the next match

Danny Clay is never gonna push Dean Moxey for anything. Clay's a holding midfielder and Moxey's a left wing back.
