Yup

We lost by 1, struggling for shape on a few key players. We’ve lost some significant stats on some older ones too. Bit of bad luck.

England U21 82 - 90 Hellas U21 (48444)

First loss of the season and without any doubt it was an heavy one for our future in this group.
We faced the second consecutive CRUNCH and this time it was an harder battle than last match. We stayed in the game for the entire match and we had the ball for the lead with 34seconds to play but unfortunately we missed it.

Thinking about it maybe it could be predictable a crunch from Greece because it was their last chance, but I didn't want to give away all our enth. What did you do instead?

However looking at our ratings I can honestly say that we are still getting better and I am sure we still have a chance in this group!

I would be against a crunch in that match. You'd have been putting in too much to gain something in one game when you have three left. So I think you did the right thing. Personally I'd have been more likely to TIE it than crunch.

I would not have expected Greece to crunch either. I've had a little contact with the u21 in the past and given that they're a bigger country in BB than us I'm surprised they felt the need. Not sure it helps their season though.

I think also you played quite well last night. Your squad is very good in u21 terms. Things look good despite the loss.

I feel so sorry about yesterday match. We went through with great enthusiasm and after the 1st quarter (13-4) I really thought we can bring this game home but then our perfect defense become a big black hole...

I probably misjudged our offense, but our outside lineup has grown a lot since the start of the season, instead our big men haven't done the same and also our best inside player has had 6 of game shape for most of the time.

Lesson learned, I am alrealdy preparing the best 20y for next season

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.

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.
