Hi guys,after the success of my original Cloughy Tactics ive decided to release the new and improved version.Ive tested them with Bolton in the Premier and had good results.Ive tried to address the main criticism's of the original tactic that being leaking too many at the back and not taking enough of the chances created at the other end.Your feedback would be much appreciated.Thanks
i will give it a go with my colchester Utd game. thanx.
Does this tactic work in the lower leagues? because i thought that they would be used to playing more direct football in the lower leagues.

Damn!! and theres me at colchester with Clive Platt up front with this dude i found! Qyvind Hoas, 6"8 beast. he is slow but his technique is 18, dribbling 15.
I have Used this tactic home and away for 5 games (A/A/H/A/A) with my colchester utd game. These tactics seem a lot easier to use with colchester than the origional verson.
Results: LWWDW I came back from behind in 2 of my games.
I've had great success with your original Brian Clough Tactics, but whenever I use this tactic I do pretty well but have a ton of injuries! I am talking 7 first team injuries at once with a player getting a minor or major injury every single game.
If you've got defenders scoring it's not a Brian Clough tactic, he had a famous training ground row with a defender.
During a training match, as what happens usually, the big center back went forward to try and get his head on the ball and grab a goal. However Mr Clough asked him what he was doing the defender replied im going forward to get a goal and Mr clough replied by saying no your not what do I pay you for the defnder said to stop the other team scoring and Mr clough said what do i pay him for (pointing at a striker) the defender said to score goals so Mr clough said so why the bloody hell are you doing his job and not your own?
Anyway thats enough of my ramblings that just came to me when i saw that Gary Cahil was on the score sheet so it's not really Brian Clough esque. Never the less ill give the tactic ago and give you some feedback.
nice to see you got mark beevers in first team wi' bolton, hope he dont go in real life m8, gd tactics work wonders wi' wednesday im 1st after 34 games, sodje scored 25
Never got around to trying out your other tactics but i have heard alot of good things so i will need to check these out. Hope your not offended if i say it will be my reserves who use them? I always find taking control of the reserves as a good thing as it lets you look at players and tactics

Are you trying to tell me defenders never scored for Cloughy? You wouldn't like me to prove you wrong would you? because i know for a fact they did.
I must admit that i don't know if cloughie had his defenders scoring, but they are defo scoring for me using this tactic. I bought Ryan McGowan from Hearts and he's banging them in.
Who do you think the best strikers would be for this tactic?

Instead of just strikers, what types of players work best for this tactic in each position? For example in Central Midfield, small technical players or big strong dominating players? Or on the wings, pace attack with good dribbling and agility or ball keeping attack flowing players?
Hope yu get what i'm saying
Cheers

Well if you look at the tactics and more importantly the player instructions you will see all 4 midfielders have through balls set to often and the rest mixed so your midfielders should be technically good with high creativity stats.There is no need for the wide men to be good dribblers or crossers.Your forwards who will be making the runs for the through balls will need good decisions and anticipation to get the best through balls,then finishing to score the chance.All the players should be decent passers of the ball.
Hi,i use your tactic for about 4 matches,i win all of them,but its strange-my strikers gets injured 3/4 of those matches)
sorry fom english,im from lithuania)
Just beat Chelsea 3-0 on English Community Shield,with Arsenal.
This is by far the best tactic used in patch 9.0.3, no one can discover a better one then yours!! My results has been absolutly a sublime and hammering all the big teams and making good results in the league by immediat with this results is phenomenal.
Thanks for the best tactic made in the game clough
