Subject: Canada Senior NT Discussion

Final rank: 4th after the loss vs Spain. I decided to leave out all players in TC, this is why we had fewer players dressed.

I'll add Pete Brooks and Nolan Quirk. Any advice on other players that should be selected but are not?

Tery is soon to be outdated, same with Logan Breton.
Gary Kids, Bobby Holmes, maybe even Wesley Howard based on Slavko's comment won't be selected next season.

Problem is there are more players I'd like to fire than I'd like to select

Ruthless dream crusher...

I sent invites for friendlies to our natural rivals US and Mexico, and our good friends from Ireland, Scotland, England and Australia. I also challenged France, Belgium and Switzerland, since I'm also French. I hope it will make friendlies of some additional interest.

Sorry guys for the silence over the past 2 weeks. Brazil and US have kicked our ass big time in the first 2 games. I was more focused on chemistry building.

We need to rejuvenate the team and prepare for some players leaving the team in the next seasons. Some players have been hurt by CL drop this season. Logan Breton and Clay Roberge who were used last season a lot are now 2/6. So are Tysen Borden and Reynaldo Koyle. More have dropped to CL3, some early such as Dillon Carrol (23 meh), Dawdy, Jair James, Jobson (all of them 24). I'm unsure what role they should play in the team since their crappy CL will let younger players pass them at some point...

In addition to that, manager who has Harvey Patry doesn't login much these days and is not PRO pack owner. Training of the player is not actively monitored and the player is not balanced anymore. I've contacted the manager, and we'll see if he answers. That's why you've seen Ethan Arsenault in the lineup, he is very similar to Patry but needs chemistry building. This is not an attempt to select my own player, more like an insurance policy in case Harvey Patry is lost due to unbalanced training. Just in case, do you have another CB to recommend?

Yvan Gow, Pat Salmon and Hudson Young will have to play a bigger role this season, so their chemistry needs to be boosted. Pete Brooks and Nolan Quirk won't see much action from now on, they're just not ready yet.

Ban OAP players - they all drop early

excellent job so far... you work and time put in is noticed and appreciated.. mercy buckets... thanks..

Thanks. Friendlies are not easy this seasons. We still have to score a goal! Ireland played VH though. I won't panic and keep focus on qualification games. Chemistry building is what we need the most right now. Today we play Denmark, expect strong rotation of players at half time, as usual in friendlies.

Time for serious stuff again! First WC qualification game this season vs. Argentina. Strong Middle, never easy to play. Let's hope for the best.

They have no Messi.

Really disapointing, 2 red cards in 2nd half cost us a win. At least we get 1 point...

Oh god, this is bad. 1-0 loss vs. Indonesia. I really don't get it, we had no shot on goal. I'm sorry guys.

I just saw. The result is crazy! We lost, sure, but no shots!?!? Look at the OTS!!!

I have to let you know I made my first mistake as NT manager: I forgot to change the roster yesterday. Thankfully, we were playing Israel so we needed our B roster like last week. Anyway, no consequence as we won 7-0! I feel like the guys dressed up for the first time this season. Meanwhile, Argentina drew Uruguay 1-1.

What does this mean for us? We have 16 points, Argentina 15. Argentina plays Israel on the last day, chances are they'll win. So it's simple, a win next week against Uruguay, on the road, and we're qualified. Another result and we're out. Uruguay is already qualified so maybe they'll go easier, but I won't bet on that.

I feel like we miss the 3 points lost to Indonesia, we could go energy savings instead of going all out. Anyway, season hasn't been as expected at all, so let's hope for the best!

I checked U17 this morning and could have swore it said VH. This is the second time it has gone VL. I *really* wish there was a "planning" page for NT rosters like there is for regular rosters.
