Nice work.
NZ National Team
1 - 1 vs. Norway tonight...
So, final friendly before the first qualifier coming up against USA (who will hopefully be tired from their efforts in Brasil)
Crikey. Australia are ranked 2 in the world!
Yup, hardly fair aye! Unfortunately we are very much an average team on the international stage, but if we finish second in the group I'll be a happy manager, and if that results in being the highest 2nd placed team then all the merrier! Will need to dominate our non-Aussie opponents however.
0 - 1 away win over USA. Nice work.

My theory (and those who know more about the technical stuff behind the game will hopefully be able to clarify) is that in playing 3 at the back and no defensive wingers means less opportunities down the flanks. If we play 4 at the back the wingers further up will be brought more into the game. Just a theory but the AM does show red boxes so it makes sense that there's a penalty.
What does the bolded sentence mean? What is the AM? Where are these red boxes he is talking about?

Indeed! Beating the 11th ranked side. We finished our friendly campaign with 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss, quite pleased with that. Now the tough work begins....

The AM is the assistant manager - have a look at this and see if it answers your question: http://trophymanager.com/assistant-manager/
If you don't have that url, how do you navigate to the assistant manager page? I have never seen it before...
It's under the globe icon, then you go "User Guide" and in the advanced tactics section it should be there on the left
TM likes to keep navigation around the site as user friendly as possible.....
Thanks Niall. That does help... the things I never knew were there.
First qualifier is tomorrow, here's the team (subject to change from opinions): http://trophymanager.com/forum/conference/53/28733...

I am not allowed to view that topic...?
yeah you have to join the conference first. Don't want to post team lineups publicly.
Makes sense. Cheers.
Very interesting game tonight! New Zealand 4 Bahrain 0: http://trophymanager.com/forum/nz/general/282827/l...
4 goals from 4 shots on target. Gotta love that stat...

Ahhh, just worked out why.
mark Paston in goal?
what the hell haha.
a good win, if not a little lucky 3-2
Another game, another win! Recap here: http://trophymanager.com/forum/nz/general/282827/l...
Interesting stuff over the weekend...
So that table leading into tomorrow's game vs. the West Island is:
The team/tactics proposed for the big game tomorrow: trophymanager.com/forum/conference/53/288216/
0 - 0 against the Australians... away too. Good result.
Out shot 2 shots to one, but on target not a lot in it. Pity Lyon got sent off with 4 mins to go for a second yellow...unlucky.
Going great!
Going greater.
0 - 1 away win in Singapore tonight. 2 points clear of Australia at the top of the group.
We whipped them again. BOOM!
Do we dare to believe?
great going N-Bomb! Might give the TM forum a read, imagine it'll be buzzing
0 - 1 win away against Jordan. 2 points clear at the top going into tomorrow's crucial game with Australia.
BOOM!
do we dare to dream that we upset the Aussies and go 5 points clear?
We are at home... it is possible. But even a draw would be worth celebrating.
Couple of questions to answer as we get ready for the big Australian rematch: trophymanager.com/forum/conference/53/288956/
Good stuff N-Bomb. Hope your name is in the mix for the AWs job!
Australian players...
Win tonight and we qualify for the World Cup!
Holy shit we did it, were going to the World Cup
Farking epic!
Massive achievement given the pessimism going into the qualification campaign. Beating the 2nd placed Aussies to 1st place just makes it all the more sweeter.
Have you noticed any increase in forum traffic since they made the forums visible on main pages? I am certainly finding it easier to remember to check the forums. It was great fun years ago when it was last visible on the home/club page, then dropped off dramatically when they strangely removed it.
Qualifying for the WC plus a more visible forum should make for some real fun next season.
