The Newsletter
In the Newsletter every session are the results from all the matches played on that session, including any International matches and friendlies. The results printed in the newsletter will look something like this…
These results show all the general details about the match, including goal scorers, bookings, sending-offs, the attendance and the playing conditions for that match.
The numbers shown after Burton, Giles, and Fields are the times when they scored their goals. Burton scored an own goal, and Giles scored a penalty in this example.
`bkd’ - this shows that Bryant was BOOKED after 75 minutes.
`off’ - shows that Steel was SENT-OFF in the 23rd minute of this game.
`inj’ - Roberts is now injured for two games (shown in the brackets) starting with the first game of the following session. Do not confuse the figure in brackets with the game time, it shows length of injury only.
`Att’ - This gives this game’s attendance figure.
`(H - 0.5)’ - This is a measure of how much possession each side had in relation to their opponent. The ‘H’ indicates that the home side had more of the possession (an ‘A’ indicates the away team had more), and the number (in a range from 0 to 10.0) shows the Degree of Dominance(DD). A DD of more than 1.0 indicates a fairly large disparity between the teams.
(Hint - If you continually find that the DD is in your favour but your results don’t reflect this, then your tactics and team balance may need some fine tuning).
