Congratulations on getting that first win under your belt, hopefully many more to come!

Yes congrats, thats what you call a close finish!!

Hi all!

I am really sorry to not have done any update regarding the u21 NT.
We had one of the greatest team of the last seasons but unfortunately our path was also really tough.
Indeed the result was pretty much as the previous seasons.

I am writing now to say that, after a long thinking, I decided to NOT re-candidate next season. Unfortunately in the last period is even hard to follow my regular team, I think the NT deserve someone who wants to invest more time on it, as I always did in the past.

It was a pleasure for me to be the coach for 8 straight seasons. I learned a lot and also given a lot. My only remark is to not have made it to a further round in the qualification tournament.
I hope also to leave something good and to have helped at least someone from the multitude of messages regarding training advice.

I wish good luck to who will come after.
I know we have a bright future, we just need to find how to open the light ;)

Amazing job, 8 straight seasons! Thank you!!

Thanks to you mate, the rivals were very strong indeed, would have been hard anyways.

Great job over the last eight seasons! Hopefully the next manager can have as big of an impact as you did, congrats!

Hi all,

Sorry about the lack of match reports last season - I wanted to do them, and I got as far as half writing out stuff for at least the first two games (and I collected stats for the first 3 or so), but once the next game came and I hadn't done the report for the last one...There was no real/good way of catching up. I may finish the statistics bit today, if I do i'll post it - maybe 1 or 2 of you will be interested.

It's probably been a weird year for lots of us - I've luckily not suffered too many direct consequences (hope the safe for anyone reading this), but still, the added stress, etc hasn't been great for the ol' mental health - I suppose I play stuff like BB as a relaxation/distraction thing, and just didn't end up having the time / effort needed for some of the bits outside of scouting / preparing the team itself. BB's unreliability last season was probably bad for all of our interests too, but largely this offseason was a bit better, and the announced changes are quite exciting I think - it's a good sign maybe BB isn't dying anyway?

We've had a scrimmage each week though, and I've largely tried to use them to get minutes / experience to some of the younger players - some of them are really good! The announced change to aging helps us out - Phil Marichal gets another year to lead us from PG without the worry of skill drops :) Wayne Edgington gets another year too, and while Mr Lal has a job keeping Needham/Greene from his SF spot in any case, he's now got 2 seasons rather than 1 where at least he's not losing ground.

I'll select a squad of 12 in a moment so hopefully you'll get your merch boosts this week. I'm pretty sure of the whole 18 I'll use this year already tbh, but I'll keep the squad spots open just incase of injury / game shape issues.

If your player has potential (and wasn't drafted this season) I should've scouted him - but if you think I've missed anyone, or want to know where your player stands just send me a PM. Also if anyone owns 6'9+ players of MVP potential please train them, (or sell them!). We do need some new big men in the pipeline.

2 big wins to start the season (albeit against lower ranked teams).

Good start to the season!

So we're halfway through the group stages of the European championships and we find ourselves with a perfect 4-0 record. This is slightly overwhelming considering we've played the four weakest teams so far and are games that I would expect to win! Our next three games define our season and I'm guessing we'll need to win at least two to potentially qualify for the next round.

The majority of players have been in good game shape throughout, but we have missed a couple of key players.

I've also spent a fair bit of time scouting for future seasons and have been in contact with several managers regarding training plans, particularly MVP potential and above. If you feel I have missed your player, please feel free to contact me.

Hi SGM!

I can assure you I know their skills and they'd be in the squad if they were worthy :)

Malfoy was in the squad last season and played at times, but has been transferred a lot and largely been in poor game shape since. Mahoney is pretty decent and on my backup list, but the others are too one dimensional / with too clear weaknesses to be useful at NT level (in my opinion)

Are you completely new to BB or have you played before? I feel the team name is vaguely familiar...
