Drew 0-0 against 3rd place which I was happy with as my team were knackered after champs league final. Gap down to 3 points now.

I think theres 6 games left now, I still have some very tough matches. I play away against La Coruna next who were the first team to beat me this season after my great start. Then I play Brians Malaga who were the 2nd side to beat me

Beat La Coruna 3-1 away 
. They had the most of the match and a lot more shots but my defence and goalkeeper did their job and Said Grim did his job when he got the chance by scoring 2 and midfielder Van Halst got the other. ....5 games to go.. next up malaga.

Well...
My season is over. I finished in fourth place, due to a large number of draws.
Despite playing 3-4-3, my attackers weren't productive enough in the stages in the end of the season. Perhaps I should have switched to a different system or strategy by then, but I don't know a better one. I'm tied with the champion for total number of goals, so that's not the problem. Sometimes, they just won't score...
My team has become a lot stronger in the last few weeks, but due to their low condition I couldn't use those players to the fullest. I think I'll try to play more dominating v.s. the weaker teams, and try a 3-5-2 system (with the same overall strategy) v.s. the stronger teams, for more consistency. With a 57 and 55 rated striker, I think I won't loose much in attack if I list my new 56 rated midfielder instead.
All in all, it have been pretty busy times on the transfer market for SC Cambuur. Not the new goalkeeper I wanted, but I hope this one will last some more seasons. Besides that, I'm not in a need for more players. I'll try to replace any of the non-club players.
The lower-agression "gambit" definately didn't work out for me. It might be coincidence, of course. The last match I played was on 60%, and still my lazy ass strikers only scored once. But then again, since I'm not playing any European matches, I can bench players and bring in fresh replacements. Most players are still in good health.
As a reference, here's the same post from the end of last season.
Now, on to 3 weeks of preseason boredom. On the bright side, my forward might reach formidable scoring in a week or two, so then I can sell him for a million euros or so. In hattrick though...

Unlucky, you almost got 3rd spot.
4 games left for me, I drew 0-0 with brian (good match brian). Vallecano also drew so im still 3points clear with a better goal average thanks to my great 'keeper stamp. Next up away vs Osasuna; think I already lost to them at home earlier in the season.

I got my revenge on Osasuna quite well . Won 4-0 away, Velasco is finally back on form getting another 2 goals, this is the only season he hasnt been my highest goalscorer, all previous hes beaten all my other players by at least 10 goals. A dissapointintg 14 goals for him so far, averaged 30 a season before.
Anyway just 3 games left, Vallecano drew so I'm now 5 points clear of them and Santander. Im quite confident the league will be mine now.
Shabba thats the advantage of being in Spain or England, no waiting around for weeks doing nothing.

Won 4-1, Velasco got a hat-trick gives him 5 goals in 2 games, 8 in last 7.
2 games to go, 5 points clear, of just Vallecano as santander drew and are now out of it, and a much better goal average.
...and away against 2nd to bottom team next game so i really should win the league saturday!

I just took control of Bury in game 2. English second division.
The squad is very strong for this division, and should be able to get promoted next season. Theo van Nistelrooy is joint top scorer in the league with 29 goals.
I have already transfer listed two players who aren't up to the job (ratings are too low). I'm sure afew division 3 teams will be interested in 'em.

Only 1 game left in the season. Next game is against Oxford - should be an easy victory!
