The matches between 21 and 30 has been a pure nightmare in terms of winning the games. 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses! Have I been outplayed during those matches? Yes, but only in 1 or 2. Have 1 made some big mistaces? Yes, but only 2 that I can recall, so what have made me come up with such a bad line of matches. Nuffle!!!

I have played most of the matches quite okay until round 15 or 16 where nuffle had decided to change the match from a win to a draw or a draw to a loss.

I have only been two major mistaces that I truly can say that they where stupid, but thats okay since I will prolly not be doing them again. First was in a match I hade my runner next to the ball and the TD area and instead of just pushing the opponent away from the ball I followed him into the tacklezone. Had to dodge away, pick up the ball and a gfi and with only 1 reroll, it failed on the gfi.

The other was a gangfould on a fallen mummy with my runner! I had 4-5 guys around the mummy and the runner was unskilled to my defense but it was stupid since the ref saw it and the runner was sent of. Would have needed him on my next run ofcourse. Will not be doing that again!

Apart from nuffle and my own stupid mistaces I feel like I have stayed in the matches and I am learning to trust the thick skull more and more cause in (almost?) every match I have just holded my ground and after the drive I have always had more players than my opponents.

And I cant complain about my team either, cause how nuffle have punished me on the pitch he has rewarded my players with +ST, cause I have 3 of them. That, Is very usefull on the pitch, thanks Nuffle!

I still got an unskilled runner, and the slayers are slowly coming int shape but the blockers are my backbone in the team and I am very happy with them.

So what can I expect from the next 10 games that I need to worry about? I have come up with 3 things that I need to have an answer to.

1: Leap! Wardancers and slanns can with no problem just leap right in and knock the ball out of the runners hands and I only have 3 guys with ag3 so thats a major concern, cince I cant really awoid it if it happends. The best defense I have come up with so far is give the leapers some extra attention during the game and keep my blitzers near the ballcarrier in case I need them to pick up the ball.

2: Claw! So far I havent had any problem with them at all. I have meed just a few chaos/nurgle teams and thay have just had a few claws and even if they have used them mostly as blitzers I have (so far) managed to bring them down Before they have had an effect on me but it sure will be more trouble from the clawteams as I go up the TW.

3: One turn touchdowns! I dont know how many matches I have lost in round 8 or 16 when the fast teams just run by me, but they surley is too many. Ive put up 3 players on the LOS and spread out the rest of the team down at my TD area
and always had tackle as a security but with no luck. Every attempt has succeded, and even if it wont work every time I must cut it down close to zero and stand firmis one sollution, and I will try to read more about the positioning and try to figure out how to make it harder for the opponent.

I know I said it in my last blog but now I really must leave this team on hold until the end of next month due to IRL activitys, but they will be back and I will not stop until I have reached a 100 games with this team.
