I have to say if they do that it really is ridiculous. Team selection is a manager's prerogative. If he wants to rest his play-off first XI, he is actually entitled to do so. Might not be perfect, but we've actually earned that. If he wants to play the groundsman at left-back on Saturday, he's perfectly entitled to do that as well. So long as they're registered to play, it's none of the Football League's business who does play. Add to that the team selection against (in particular) Wigan in January (a game we won) and you have to ask what on earth the Football League are playing at. We have the most important games since 1972 coming up, our lookout is to ensure that players are fit and available. Nine of the players used played in both - some from the start, some as subs. We made 8 changes against Wigan from the previous game against Blackburn (and won 1-0). We also made 9 changes against Reading and Sheffield Wednesday and 10 against Newcastle. See below for teams v Wigan in January and from Saturday.

Team v Wigan: Ward, Cranie, Holmes-Dennis, Hudson, Stankovic, Billing (Whitehead), Mooy, Kachunga, Bunn (Lolley), Payne (Hefele), Wells


Bollocks that. The team that came to the DW was a lot stronger than the Huds team we played at your place, regardless of reputation or regular first team status, you can't be judged on that.

If they want to introduce something to enforce it, they should look at the JPT rules and add that to the league. Having to play 5 players that was in your previous matchday squad or something. This happens all the time in the FA Cup, Capital One cup and even Prem before Champions League ties. Nothing is said other than pundits having a whinge about how it used to be.

When we won League One last year our last game was against Barnsley at home - our players had been on the piss with us for a few nights and it was all over Twitter with pics and videos. We lost 4-1 that day and half of our team spent more time supping water on sidelines than playing a game. The loss denied Scunthorpe a place in the playoffs. That's something that should've been looked into but the team sheet would have shown a consistent selection give or take a few kids - thankfully it wasn't, though.

Mixed emotions. Lost today and were wowful away at Notts County. Still in the play-offs though. Hope we qualify for them, but don't want it at the same time as the Oyston's will try use it to vindicate their ownership and there will probably be an increase in attendance from those with no brain or heart.


I feel for every Blackpool fan, so much that we joined in with your protest last season (for 10 minutes til we realised we were then 10 minutes away from the boozer). But every latics fan is hoping you win these playoffs. 9am start at Manchester bar in August, yes please!

We're pretty much gonna be alright next season though, lots of panic but we'll only lose a few. We'll lose Power, Morsy (if Barnsley stop being cheap about it), Burn and Powell if anyone gambles on him, but we've got an alright core now who are still young, too high paid to leave for another League One club and aren't good enough/injury free enough for Championship teams to pick them up. 100 points on the cards.

Fucking hell state of some clubs. Makes Bury FC look like we're run as good as Apple or McDonalds.


I actually quite enjoyed Gigg Lane last year, well, not so much for the cup game. One fence seperating our drummers. I'd love us to trim the DW down to a 16-18k capacity, get rid of the red that's there just to please the egg chasers and create a bit of atmosphere other than Will Grigg's on Fire. Wish we played away every week.

Better playoff spots look realistic for us now - automatic promotion possibly a bit too far. I've travelled to every game this season bar two, including Crewe yesterday - triple the shots, double the amount on target, superior possession, 1-1 stalemate. Same result, different team.

As crap a show as the Football League Tonight is on Channel 5 is, I'd still like to spend an evening with Kelly Cates, if you know what I mean.

First game I had to miss due to illness and we threw away a 2-0 lead vs Wigan. Bugger. Chris Hussey also banned for our derby game vs. Fail


5 times this year we've gave teams a lead, waited until the last 15 mins to go to a 4-4-2 and bring on some attacking players and mullered them. Wish we did this from the off. Dominated possession again but never seem to shoot. Surprised you finished with 10 men tbh, could've easily been 11v8 in last 10 mins couldnt control the 4-4-2 but we fucked up about 10 free kicks anyway. Not sure how the ref gave you a yellow card for contact in the box but no penalty haha caldwell was fuming in his interview how is that possible? 4 draws in a row now not really good enough for us but still amazingly only 3 points off top 6. I think that was Hiwulas last game in a blue and white shirt. Terrible player.

You missed a good atmosphere we sold out your stand but they kept letting people in so glad theres alot of space between the stand and the goal. Seems our drummers were sat literally a fence apart haha colchester for us on saturday i think we can win that one.

They're looking good from what I've seen on channel 5 Clarke seems to be knocking them in for fun. You'll see on Saturday just how shit we are passing it around the back and waiting for a perfect pass that never comes. Lookout for Wildschut we're all preying he gets a start, but we've got like 6 injured, 2 banned and 2 on international so its a good job we have depth this season. Looking forward to it pal I doubt any of us will be sat down we've been taking between 1-1.7k away fans so it'll be a good atmosphere. Crewe away tonight in the paint trophy going straight from work hope traffic is alright on the m6.

Another win today for us as we beat Colchester away 1-0. Leon Clarke on the scoresheet again, against a very tough and difficult side to play against. Rob Lainton made couple of great saves so he really kept us in it but overall the whole defence has done well. This was just a case of being patient and we did just that.

This makes it six legaue wins on the bounce and seventeen consecutive away games unbeaten. Up to third aswell, feels like fucking dreamland mate


Tickets came through yesterday for you men next saturday. Never been before but I hope it isnt as big a shithole as some of the places we've been this season.

Cant argue with 0-0 against Walsall they were shite to be honest and we were hammering them before the red. Another red and a shit ref its getting a bit too much now. The new signings from boro and united looked good. Not sure we should be proud of this undefeated run at home too many 1 pointers.

Your chairmans comment at the start of the season didn't help the team really, maybe they felt pressured.

Its a really open league, this season compared with recent years.


Haha 100 points was a bit farfetched. Sharpy actually had a local chippy in Wigan that went bankrupt a few years back so I doubt he has the foggiest of ideas of what he's supposed to be doing. We're getting a Dave Whelan statue outside the stadium soon that'll probably cost the same as a decent RBs wages.

I've been to all but 2 games this year and considering the teams makeover with relegation and how young these lads are its good to see them getting better each week. If we can get our hands on a decent right back, keep our strike pairing injury free and revert to 4-4-2 without the Barcelona tactics I think 85-90+ points is realistic mate.

Stupid phone. Sorry for double post.

Great result against Fleetwood though we made it harder than it needed to be. Should've been 4 or 5 nil up before their goal but can't say I'm too unhappy since Grigg and Davies were out. Great to see Chow back and great to see Flores net a goal. I thought Reece James was looking great going forward again and Donervan Daniels saved our arse so many times, what a player. Good to see the team gelling a bit but I wish Caldwell would fuck off this play out from the keeper 5-4-1 shit. We're all a bit fed up of it now.

Looking forward to going to your place gfnx25. Only you men and Bradford away in October so hopefully we'll be top of the league by November 1st if we keep this home form up. Assuming we beat Oldham away next week that is but I can't see any other outcome.

No idea why City spent most of the game thinking they were playing a mid table Prem team. The needing to adapt to Europe excuse was okay for a season or two. Just poor seeing your midfield overrun and using 5 passes to switch play against such a disciplined defence. The old possession wins games is bullshit. Bony was very poor.

I wish I'd of watched United instead. Though I did switch over to hear Scholes 'They can take a lot of positives from today but it's still a poor result against a bad team'. Brutally honest.

It's shite, they could do a much better job with a lesser budget, I'm sure. Fuck off the crowds, fuck off one or both of the presenters, just a stylish highlights show is all we need; not even some punditry or whatever.


I wish they did. I'm not expecting highlights for every game but maybe goals from all games, highlights from a few of the bigger games and a short discussion about teams, players and coaches in between each game. I've only missed two or three games this season so far and I still don't know who we're playing, who manages them or 2/3rds of their starting lineup. Bit of insight wouldn't go a miss.

What's the Sky Sports one? What time's that on?

I'd agree Jason I thought Bury were dirty as, then I saw us away at Vale yesterday. Their 9 was pure filth. Our formation, players out of position, dumb play from the keeper tactics didn't help us but we should have and would have repeated the Chesterfield result if we could've A) finished the one in a million low driven balls across the goal or B) been able to move on the ball without being wrestled to the floor. Ref gave us a lot of free kicks to be fair but there should have been another 20 fouls given. Only 2/3 yellows all game was ridiculous.

Genuinely don't know where we'll be come end of the season. One week we look like we'll smash the league the next week we're getting beaten by Port Vale. We need a solid right back and we need to play a consistent 4-4-2. Every time we've played a proper 4-4-2 we've never looked like losing. Dunno why Caldwell loves this idea of a slow build up from the back with one striker to eventually play it to. We're all getting a bit fed up of it to be honest.

I sure hope we get back to the Championship though because some of these grounds I'm going to are absolutely shocking. Oldham next away game... haha.

We're (Sheffield United) being linked to signing Nathan Cameron from Bury.

Anyone know if he's any good?


He didn't really stand out against us last week in the cup, but then again, we didn't do anything worthwhile going forward anyway.

I'm trying your tactic in my first FM 2013 game. I'm playing in Brazil with Vasco da Gama. I made a minor change in the positioning, moving the CM (Advanced Playmaker) to AMC position and changing his role to Attacking Midfielder and change the MC with Central Midfielder role to Deep-Lying Playmaker.

By now I've played 5 games. Won 4 and lost 1 (away from Botafogo). The lads are making large amount of scoring possibilities but they have issues with finishing. I have also noticed that the amount of long shots is a bit low, so I will work on these two things.


Nice to see people are playing about with it to suit their lineup. Bare in mind your striker should have decent finishing, composure, off the ball & anticipation. Not sure why your wingers aren't netting them too though. The amount of chances compared to converted ratio is extremely high on FM13, btw, having 20 shots on target with 2 goals is pretty standard sadly.

dont know how to upload my save . really gave it a go 31 games only 9 wins , last 6 games conceded 20 goals . not just the tactic its gota be the game , never been this bad at fm .... ever , guna start a new save before the laptop goes out the window !


Hi mate. My Documents > Sports Interactive > FM2013 > games > yourfilesave.fm.

I'm not sure how fluid your players are with the tactic or how you use training, shouts or morale boots like team talks/team or player chats/press conferences, but even if you ignored all those it shouldn't produce such poor results. I'd like to look over some of your games to see if you need to make any obvious changes with you being a team not expected of anything, hopefully it'll help me as much as you.
