ZaZ said: Well, only thing you can do is use team talk and shouts to motivate them and see how it goes. Try this: - During pre-match team talk, tell the team there is no pressure, to relieve some of their stress. Then, tell defenders and midfielders (entire team) that you have faith on them. - If you team is not winning, use shouts to encourage them. If they are winning, praise them. - During half time team talk, if you are not winning, tell them you are not happy with their performance. If you are winning, tell them you are happy.
That's what I usually do when I play the weakest team of a championship. Expand
I've already been doing this every game. Starting to think all of my players just have the worst hidden attributes possible because I see no reason for their performance to be so consistently bad. Watching them play it just seems like they're incredibly uninterested in actually trying to get the ball up the pitch. Did you change any player instructions at all in the lower leagues or just leave as is?
ZaZ said: From what I can see, your players morale is not so good. I would start talking to them individually to raise that. Compliment those that trained over 8.0 last week and warn those that trained under 6.2. Do the same for last match and form (last 5 matches).
Another obvious problem is that you have way too many players unhappy or asking to leave. I'm not sure how that happened, but that certainly has a negative impact in performance, since players like to support their friends.
Third point is that you just got promoted, so it's natural for your squad to be weaker than your opponents. To have some chance under those circumstances, you need a fast squad, above average on pace, acceleration and agility. How are those stats on your first team? Can you show the physical comparison of your team to the rest of the league?
Other than that, I can only wish the best of luck since I don't have enough information to help. Expand
Sure. I've improved on morale issues and it's much better than previously and my physical attributes are way above average in the league but I'm still being outclassed every game. I'm really not sure what to do.
Does this tactic work in lower league still? I'm playing as Slough and promoted from the South league and National league in my first seasons using a different tactic and lost play offs in my first season in League Two. I've switched to this tactic in the pre season and I'm really struggling. I'm only 3 points outside of the relegation zone after 14 games. Is there something I'm doing wrong or does the tactic not work with bad teams anymore? My striker that was top goal scorer in the league last season has scored only 4 goals in 14 games. If you could offer any advice that would be appreciated.
