First of all, thanks to the two voters for trusting me.

Much has been discussed in the last season's thread or the debate thread, so I don't have anything to add for the time being.

I'm starting with a 10 men squad that will most likely grow very quickly with the injury, game shape or training issues. I'm pleased with the current players I have and the way they are trained. Though, as you would have guessed, there are a lot of spots to be taken in this team!

During this season we will heavily rely on the team's superstar and without a doubt future NT player Nkedama Motihala. I assume he could already play for the senior NT. However, I'm confident he'll help the U21 team through the African championships.

I may very soon introduce you to someone that could assist me this season. I've already said that such a small country does not really need assistants but everything considered, an extra hand could be helpful when it comes down to scouting opponents and advising managers about training plans.

Finally, we're hosting Tounes next week!

So that's bainsy, my assistant. He's coming from one of the toughest leagues in Australia. He's a very clever manager, always keen on helping out other people.

We will indeed discuss the tactics (and so on) together but don't forget your opinion is also welcome.

On another note:

I've contacted every owner of the players that are currently in the u21 squad. Out of 10 managers, 7 have already replied to my bb-mail. I know that 2 of the ones that haven't replied yet are some of the best trainers.

This team is definitely going somewhere, its players are in good hands!


My only concern so far is that I have no big man for next season. Gotta work on it asap.

We took the opener!

satisfying win against Tounes. Motihala as dominant as usual in the paint with 30 boards and Lekgwathi pouring 24pts in just 22min.

Next week: Misr, one of the best teams out there. I doubt we will take the win this time. Let's see how it works out!

As expected, we lost to a better team today. On the bright side, they put more effort than us in this game.

I'm confident that come the end of the season, things could look different. With good training, gameshape and effort management, we may be able to pull a win against this same team.

Congratulations to Ebene5, Fikile's manager. Fikilie came up with an amazing performance and earned big minutes in this game. However, he can obviously still improve a lot on the defense end.
