yeah, I'll just apologise in advance for Simpson and Millar...

Well, its not like you want a drop in game shape at this time of the season so no apology necessary really. I appreciate it though.

Very hard choice to make, here's hoping it doesn't affect them too much for the NT - I'm hoping my boys are in the zone - it's so hard to tell sometimes.

yup, next week I'll find out how good Osman is, cos he'll be putting the rest of the front court on his back and carrying them through the games against SoV and the Tide of Fire boys.

Actually, Osman for England!

Given how well he did for us last season, I would say he's next in line if I do need to call up a replacement. I've managed to keep space open this season so I have enough flexibility.

Thanks. Certainly we've had our moments the last few seasons. I really wish one of the games against the bigger nations where we came up a few points short had gone the other way. Both Italy games still bother me. Not sure if I feel pride, especially after this season, but I've done ok, and I've kept up the reports even through difficult losses when I could easily have done what football managers do and send in the assistant to face the press while they drink red wine in their office.

Seems Netherlands have the better game shape update making this a tougher task, but who knows with this game. Look forward to seeing your tactics for the game Gully.

That was ugly. Sickening. Pathetic. I could think of some other words but I'll stick with those.

Obviously gdp had an effect. But given their HCA and enthusiasm advantage we needed to make up the ground by getting gdp right. So a guess had to be made.

The game started horribly and didn't really improve much till near the end, once it had been decided really. I don't like to single players out, but in this case I can forgive myself. Innes was 1-8 before he hit 8 in a row. Marshall went 6-23. Palit didn't get an assist until the fourth quarter. As a team we turned the ball over countless times. And this after I packed the team with the players with the highest passing and handling for their positions.

I can't say I've enjoyed this season, but I did on the whole enjoy being NT coach. Thanks for voting me in, and good luck to whoever takes over.

One of the more interesting games I've watched in a while! Seriously, those 3pt's!! The second half flattered the team a little making the loss a little more bearable, seeing Innes drop around 16 points in the space of a few minutes was fun, I just wish he had more shooting!

Overall it's still a heavily disappointing result and doesn't do justice to all the work you have put in and all the success you have had as NT manager. Thanks for looking after the team so well mate, I do hope you see this season as the blip it was, so many strange results this season, I've done plenty of head scratching.

Its been a difficult season for you and not the game you deserve to finish on. You've done a remarkable job as NT coach, I hope your able to continue to have input on the NT scene with whoever takes over

You always knew the Dutch were going be tough and I don't think you could have really done much more due to GS not being at its best this week. Don't suppose the players having a late night on the red light district helped either.
As Arrows said, its not the note you deserved to end on after your efforts and time put into this team. You've done a remarkable job and whoever may succeed you has some very tough boots to fill.
