I am a new player, with my last football manager game being CM03/04.
I took Kettering from BPS to 3 consecutive promotions before being offered Middlesbrough and got them promoted to Premiership, followed by mid table (11th) then a Euro spot (8th) and finally last season "League Champs!"
I have for the most part used Mr Hough and JP Woody 10.3 strategy 4-1-2-3 (edited) and have not changed it in any way at any point in time... until now
I have noticed teams this season are a lot stronger when facing me and I was mid table after 12 games. Morale is still nearly always superb (easy to manage), and 2-3 players are still often motivated going into the games but I am just not getting the results. So I stopped playing and reloaded back to the autosave at the start of the season as I wanted to find out what I was doing wrong.
I am trying to learn how to manipulate the MrHough and JP Woody tactic to get the best out of my team.
I have started using Counter (if the opposition has over 55% possession), Control (If I have over 55% possession and I am seeing too many long shots) and Defend (if I have a 1 goal lead in the last 10 mins against a decent team). The full out attack one (oversomething) and ramping up the tempo just seems to fail everytime so I have stopped experimenting with that for the moment. Also tweaking the Fullbacks into getting forward more against teams I should comfortably beat, and getting them to cross less as I dont have any forwards that can head the ball.
The thing is I am having mixed success. Sometimes it appears to work, other times, especially with counter and defend it appears to backfire. Control seems to stop my long shots and work the channels more but I often seem a bit vulnerable to counters. However I am unsure if I am seeing things I expect to see on the pitch and the match stats or judging the situation correctly so this leads me to my questions:
* With Mr Hough and JP Woody 10.3 strategy does changing the setting from its default of "attacking" to "control", "counter" and "defend" unbalance the strategy or are they even worth doing?
* Also has anybody else been having full back issues, very hit and miss with the unaltered tactic every season I have played?
* Does the AI eventually adapt (now into my 8th season using it)?

Firstly, thank you for this tactic!
