Battrick

[Barmy Army]

Got a respectable keeper

1 proficient batsmen backed up by a bunch of competent guys

2 competent bowlers backed up by mediocres, so I bat down to about 7th

There are some limitations though. Due to the limited time and space available, you can only have 10 coaching sessions each week. If you have more specialist coaches than that, then you are simply paying them to sit around each week. Even if you do allocate a player to them, he will never get the chance to train as the net space will never be available.

Is this you can only train 10 full stop or ten per skill ?

 

[The General]

Had to read it twice but i think its per skill ...

7. Backroom Staff

In your club info, you can find details of all your backroom staff. You are able to hire or fire these staff at your discretion from here. Before you do though, it may be useful to understand what each one will do for you.

The following are involved in improving the psychical attributes and technical skills of your players (Stamina, Batting, Bowling, Keeping and Fielding). You can read more on how training is organised in the Nets section.

Bowling Coaches - specialist coaches for bowlers. Each bowling coach will provide you with one bowling training spot for the week.

Batting Coaches - specialist coaches for batsmen. Each batting coach will provide you with one batting training spot for the week.

Fielding Coaches - specialist coaches for fielding. Each fielding coach will provide you with one fielding training spot for the week.

Keeping Coaches - specialist coaches for wicket keepers. Each keeping coach will provide you with one keeping training spot for the week.

Fitness Coaches - specialist coaches for all player’s stamina. Each fitness coach will provide you with one fitness training spot for the week.

There is no limit as to how many of each of these coaches you can hire, but there is a limit as to their effectiveness.
As there are only 10 training spots available each week it would be pointless to hire more than a total of 10 of the five types of coaches listed above. If you did, you would only be getting use out of the first 10 – the rest would just sit around collecting their wages!
Coaches generally with be as effective as each other, but there is a situation where this isn't the case. Again you can read about this in the Nets section.

So how many of each staff have we all got? I've got 2 each of the playing staff and 1 of the rest, I'm not sure whether to get more because of the finances, so what has everyone got?
The teams start pretty poor dont they, some real sh*te players in it

 

[The General]

Who is Southend? You challenged me (and just like Bob C) must have arranged another one. Someone challenge me. The troops need some practice ...

 

[Grayson]

Sorry that was me, I didnt realise there was only one slot for friendlies, sorry.

We should get a thread to list all our teams, makes things easier for us to see?

 

[MrB]

4 bowling and 2 psychologists. Don't need any batting or fielding at the moment as I don't have anyone to train!

Plus there's no training for a week so hiring staff this week is a waste of money anyway.

[Grayson]

9 PR?! How come you need so many? I have poor bowlers, a couple of decent batters and a couple of decent all-rounders

May hire an extra of each later

 

[Shrimpersarmy]

I have a very good looking batting line-up, but my bowlers are truly shocking
