Hi all,

I will be sharing my news and match reviews of the England Nation teams. Hopefully some may find this an interesting read. If not then I find it quite a relaxing thing to do with a beer after work so will just talk to myself....

Thanks,

Jack

Good evening all English hockey managers!

I would like to introduce myself to community as the new manager of the national team. I will be working hard over the coming days to pull together the best players to create a competitive team.

HOWEVER I need your help! Do you wish to apply for a National coach assistant role? Do you have any players you think would be able to make it into the main or U21 team? If yes to either of these questions then send me a guestbook message.

Please also contact me if you have any other questions about MZ or just want a chat.

Hope everyone has a great season,

Jack

Evening!

Two games played today - one each for the senior and U21s. Sadly two defeats.

England 2 - Poland 6

A tough game against the world number twos! The game started off as a cagey affair with Poland only taking the lead in the last minute of the first period. The game remained close with the second period finishing with Poland 2-1 up.

It was in the third period where Poland's quality showed and they pulled further into the lead. This result gives me belief that we can be competitive in the next competition. Debut keeper Harvey Medley made 18 saves, however he will be rotated in the coming games to determine who will be starting in the net.

England's MOM was Benin Taylor for scoring the two goals. The 28 year old currently plays for Marmaris in Turkey.

England U21's 1 Canada U21 8

The game started well with England taking the league after 10 minutes. However from there the game went downhill with the Canadians scoring 8 without reply.

I will not be making any rash changes as I believe I have selected the strongest team possible.

England U21 MOM was Alfie Lomas who plays for Deez Cold Nutz.

Thought of the day

Both teams have games booked over the coming days. Hopefully results will improve!

Still looking for national coach assistants! Message me if interested!

Have a good week!

Jack

A couple of seasons ago England had really strong team and great youths. There are less active teams at the moment but you still can count on Deez Cold Nutz and CHK Ferryton for instance.
The defeat against Canada was harsh but you have around 10 days to find out the best XXI before the Euros start.
Best of luck!

The senior team seems to have great depth to be honest. However the under 21s quality really drops off after the first two lines. Yes hopefully results improve, need to spend some more time looking to see if any gems are out there!

Evening all,

Well before I go out for a BBQ in this glorious weather I thought I would write a few words on the last few matches.

Seniors

Won vs Ireland 3-2

A very even match against our neighbors over the Irish Sea, as you can see from the statistics. The match remained 0-0 until late in the second period when Ireland took the lead. Fraser Cheeseman of Deez Cold Nutz hit back immediately and then Benin Taylor put England ahead mid way through the 3rd. Ireland would draw level again however a neat finish from Kris Hazeldine in the 58th secured the win!

A good performance all round! We play Ireland again at 19:00 this evening so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top this time!

MOM was Benin Taylor (Again)



U21's

Lost vs Canada 0-5

Another defeat against the Canadians, however a slightly closer game than the first! Will put these two games behind us as it seems that have a superior pool of players!


Won vs Scotland 7-0

A few tactical changes in yesterdays game which gave me my first win as NC. The U21's dominated this game from the off and punished Scotland with a 7 goal win.

MOM was Dane Price of Deez Cold Nutz.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Jack

I'll do it for you Jack.

England crush Wales 7-0 lol.

To be fair our NT is a shambles, I haven't seen it so bad. We desperately need to improve, I've only just returned. How we need welshkamikaze and rebel2k4 back to help strengthen it more.

... Will England ever play a national team game again? About 5-6 months now for the seniors since last game...
