Thank you to managers who are promptly returning emails.

For managers who are open to selling their trainee for the right price, I am posting them on the offsite forum for potential buyers.

More depth charts should be coming out during the holidays so you can see where your trainee stacks up. Have a happy holidays everyone. ;)

6) All managers with current U21 players emailed to encourage proper minutes for strong GS this week in preparation for next week's clash against the US.

Well, a frustrating game to say the least.

Either I overestimated our team's ability or underestimated theirs.

I thought they might crunch, and they did, so my choice to normal and not tie was correct.

Having not enough players at proficient GS hurt, as well as their choice to run 2-3 which seemed to be effective enough. I had an instinct to go base offense but if they man-to-man, we don't have enough guns outside to hurt them.

Fouls in the 1st quarter were brutal (especially Heighway with 4 in the 1st quarter)

Offensive rebounds were brutal (especially 5 offensive rebounds in a row off 5 misses to start the 3rd and converting on the 6th shot)

Still, looking at the player ratings and PP100 I still see us pulling out the win. Just a game that did not go our way but on another day would.

Thoughts?

I agree with this. Your ratings were way more balanced and superior, in my opinion, to Uruguays. I think can chalk this up to the fact they Crunched and I think them going 2-3 zone didn't help you much either, and may have actually been the defensive tactic that your should have ran as well.

Did not go 2-3 due to them playing R&G or PTB in 3 of their last 4 matches, including against Brazil. No guarantee they were playing LI.
Also no guarantee 2-3 would be better than man against them, even if it was sort-of-OK against the US.

Fouls and FTs, a tiny bit of shooting misfortune, weird rebounding. Their 2-3 worked really well because our guards aren't developed. I'd imagine we got plenty of clean looks (26 AST on 32 FG) but couldn't hit shots.

Not much you could do. I haven't followed the team and don't know player's skills, but I remember hating Sutherland. Jury still not out on him? In our 2 competitive games where we've played LI, he's scored 4 points in 57 minutes at C. That's not good if your other players struggle to score.

If they make that proposed change for SB, he could be a beast. Didn't work out this year for U21 purposes, and all that defensive training could have been balanced with offense. Of course then he'd be just another cookie cutter big man.
