What a game! Fully merited the 20/20 score it was given. 2-2 Richer vs Gods, Docoz scoring fast from yet another screwup by me, me equalising on the stroke of halftime. Unfortunately, in between those two TD were a hell of a lot of unconscious pro elves, and several broken ones. By the time doc scored on his drive to make it 2-1 he was down to 4 elves vs my 11, and yet still managed to score. I knew going into the game doc had one hell of a great offensive skillset, and was a very aggressive skilled coach, so I had to bash hard, play the AV advantage and hope for injuries...and Nuffle blessed me. By turn 14 it was 11 vs 3, and when I equalised it was 11 vs 2. Could have cleared the field but frankly it would have felt like a dick move fouling and crowdsurfing then when I had almost zero chance of scoring the winner. Great game doc, I have no idea how the hell you held me so many men down, but I knew how good you were, and given the chance to take a 2-2 draw pre-match I'd have snatched your hand off. Well played sir. Also, holy crap, 21 SPP from one game? That is quite literally more than my dwarves ended the season with between them... Sounds like you had a good game, Squig. Who knows - maybe all that practice has paid off! Or maybe nuffle has finally decided to leave you alone

Elves have always been my main focus, whereas Doc by his own admission is a basher and has limited experience with em. Secondly, my first real blitz took out one of his catchers, and you know how hard it is to play defence when you'e a man down against elves...which rapidly became two men, then three, then...well it got painful, nuff said. And thirdly, I've had a couple of rather helpful chaps giving me some advice and tips on improving my play, both of which should really be proper rookie mentors. Oh, and lets not forget the most important advantage of all...I wasn't playing dwarves! As to Nuffle, I'm genuinely unsure who got the shitty end of the stick here. I managed to roll 6 double ones, all while either picking up the ball or dodging to blitz the carrier...but then again 81% of my hits broke doc's armour...which is just ridiculous.
