Canvey 1 v Norwich 2, this was a game of 2 headers. I loved Puuki's one to them 0-1 up but then we scored straight from the kick off. A long ball down the channel from Ruskin for Guti to chase, he managed to get there before it went out for a goal kick. He put a first time cross in and Hamsun rose well to power the header home. A real fist pumping moment for me simply because it all looked so realistic. I know that, for some, retro PES feels on rails but putting long balls down the channel which leaves an all out sprint to get to the loose ball makes me beg to differ. The feeling of getting that ball first and then playing an inch perfect cross into the box as the player tumbles over is great. After that we conceded a really stupid goal with Baumann trying to back heel it in the box. I should have just put my foot through it.

Fulham 2 v Canvey 0, one of those performances where nothing went right, every one was slower to the ball. Then when Onomah went straight through my defence with his Ronaldo 'step over' impression the team began to reflect their manager. Quite a number of fouls going in and bookings coming out. Then there was one which El Moubarki did although it was not me but the CPU kind of took over, which was fine as it showed the character that the player's have when they are losing, whether I am in control or not, no character at all. I will have a quiet word with them, and myself, and pick ourselves and go again.
