Very mixed box score. Really strange to see them score so few points in Q1 and then get so many in Q2.

You won the games you should have won. Competed well against the closest team to us and have lost to two teams that always looked difficult to get past. I doubt you could have done much more though I understand your disappointment.

England U21 103 - 101 Türkiye U21 (48457)

A consolation win in the last match against a good team. Looking at the ratings I didn't expect a win, but I take it as a compensation to the lost against Greece. Maybe there were useful some changes in our lineup due to improvements of some players that haven't played a lot in other games (ex. Greene, has become a complete player through the season).

My only regrets is the lost against greece, as I think we could finish at least 3rd in the group.
Really thanks to all that have contributed and made me enjoy this experience. Now the focus is on the next season team!

Not surprised you enjoyed it. You got off to a great start and the team performed as well as we could reasonably expect all season. I think the ratings look slightly above average for us compared to previous years.

I think you might enjoy next season too. Its easier once you've been through it once, and because there's no election you'll have more time.

Yes you're right! I've also learned a lot of new things.
Maybe next season it would be a more balanced competition. For the moment it seems we could have a better outside lineup, but a worse inside one.

I would like to ask you all a question: I saw lot of GMs that has been training 1on1 consitently, and try to reach a really high level of Penetration. But why don't they balance it with JS (/JR)?
I honestly prefer a higher level of JS rather than Penetration, expecially if I have to go with an outside offense. Am I wrong to think in this way?

You're not wrong. One of the big problems for me is that one on one is always the training that will most increase your player's overall skill level and therefore its easier to just train that than think about developing a well rounded player. This is both a problem with the training in the game and our perceptions of what's best.

There's also a school of thought on your side, but slightly more extreme, that the best combination of training would be one on one with jump range rather than jump shot. I'm not personally aware of the effectiveness of this but I can see the appeal. Especially on a player where JS is higher than JR.

Yes you're right, I didn't realize that 1on1 it is the training with most skills improvent. But however I don't like players with 18+ in driving and only 12 in JS, for example.
I give a point to that school of thought eheh I like having high level of JR (but more JS), but also you need passing to have great shooter, I think just like in the reality :)

I agree with you. I don't really like a lot of driving either, especially in comparison to JS and IS. High driving and low inside scoring is a complete waste. And certainly my current trainees, which are of course all over 21, could use more JS.

I think at u21 level probably the biggest problem is players with DR and HA and very little else. They're not of much use no matter how much TSP they have.

Also I agree with the need for passing. Every player needs at least some, even the big men. I just always tend to put passing off till last.

I have my own theories which I believe prove fairly solid, but they won't make it onto a public forum. PM if you have any specific training questions ;)

Tough final game

Not optimistic on this one, with Corral down injured we are going to struggle against a strong team. It's been a good run so far this season, I doubt I'll be running for next season as I'm struggling to prioritise sufficient time for the NT at the moment. That said, I've enjoyed my NT coach run and look forward to supporting whoever runs for next season. I'm giving you all a heads up so you can think about it.

Whoever wins would have my full support and full answers to any questions or any advise they need.
