1 season almost over and I am currently 10th with Chester City. Not bad, but not great. I just feel as though I need some confirmation that I am playing the right way.

In a nutshell I play slow, short and wide attacking at home, and narrow, direct and quick counter-attacking away from home.

Well thats how the games begin anyway. Say I go one nil up, should I go more defensive or just leave everything and then hope I go two up and then go defensive?

And how exactly do people go about killing a game off? Should I go slow, narrow, deep and turn of forward runs? or should I keep it play quick direct counterattacking?

I'm just very confused to be fair, and although I do spend time reading all the posts on here, nothing seems to quite give me an answer. (cue someone linking me to the perfect thread in there reply)

I dont mind that the game is a lot more tactical than it used to be, I just wish that we had some more information about what we were supposed to do with it!

Sometimes whilst I'm reading these forums I can imagine MV reading it as well and chuckling to himself about all the debates about RoT etc. and saying "All they have to do is play _____ (insert formation here)".

And whatever happened to SI commenting on Tactics board? I would love to hear from one of them just to let us know if we are on the right tracks!

Ok by then, thanks for listening

well,play as you like ,with any formation you like,and any tactic you want.Dont expect someone to tell you;hey i found the perfect tactic,i won i won iwon you can download this from that link etc.
STUDY your players(their abbilities)buy youngsters or<24 years old-train them appropriately or promote youth and play friendlies to see how your team performs in the field.You cant play YOUR team with the tactic of another manager.YOU R THE MANAGER

weird reply.

Anyway, it depends on the situation. Say u are at home and u go 1-0 up. If u find u are getting played out of the field, u can change to the defensive tactic u got. Otherwise, it would be better to get a 2nd goal before employing the timewasting option.

Anyway, what pple like wwfan etc have are all theories. They may or may not be true.

I rather look at the set of players i have, come to a style of play and a formation i wanna use, then buy the players to make the team better.
Then I will look at the match stats to see what areas in my tactic can be improved.
