Wake up call

Goat 0 Real Ale 4

Rushing to book in camp so i will keep it short. A very bad game for us when a few last minute pull out really change much of the game and players have to be called down again last minute. 

Passing was bad and we did not really got control of the game. Midfield was overrun and we were able to perform like we use to. But nevertheless its time to put it behind us. 10 games unbeaten was something and i'm proud of that. So lets take this 1week break and await our next upcoming games as we welcome back Tin from his fasting! =) 

Motm: Yangshan
Yangshan has been influential. Putting in his effort to try to set up the team. Despite failing to do so he never put his head down and always looks to push the team forward. =)

Kambing!

How to play against 8 men?

Team Goat 4 Sailors FC 3
(JinChuenX2 YongJie Jackson)

Motm: JinChuen

It was a game against 8men but we made it look like we are playing against a fair 11 vs 11. Despite getting a goal early we never really control the game and till one point Sailors even took the lead...


I guess this game really give us a few footballing lesson. I will not be touching on how we score the goals but i guess what's important here is what we need to learn. Div 2 seems to be where we are going but with this kind of standard can we make it up there this time round? 


We all do agree that there is a huge difference between Div2 and Div3. We are comfortable in Div 3 but when we are in Div2 we are being manhandled and bullied. Really wish there is a Div 2.5


So i guess what we need to learn is...


1.Fluidity (movement)
We are not moving enough for our midfielder to pick us up. With all those effort we are not penetrating the Italians defence. They are happily defending what we are giving them. Movement must be made to pull defenders out of position if not confuse them!

 2.Making use of Spaces
Having to play with 8men give us hell loads of space. But we do not make use of them. Sometime we are just scare. We are burden to pass the ball away as we usually do. And when chances come upon to you, u choose to lay it off to your team-mate. Take it up and bring it forward. Pull the defenders to you than pass it away.


3.Attack with intend
By this i mean by going for goal. I'm not saying that you guys don't wanna score but make some runs and shots. And when shots are taken do not be complacent. Simply scuffing the shot. Shoot with determination! Like we are losing. Just take Jc's 3rd goal for example. Shoot with force and power. 

4.Complacency
We must never look down on our opp. This is the 1st time we are playing against 8men and complacency really shown. Players have been lethagic and passes sometime were sloppy. More can be done. 


We did win the game but overall it was a bad game to us. Perhaps 11 against 11 will be better for us. But we do need to learn to control the ball and attack when we have the chance. Playing against weaker team will give us this advantage. And we need to make use of them! So lets learn together and improve as a team! =)


Lets look forward to our next match against our old friendly rival Real Ale Madrid at Bedok View again! Really hope AJ is playing for them. =)


Motm: JinChuen
Depsite a poor game JC was dominating on the left back. With his 2 goals his dribbling skills was a sight to behold. He always choose the hard decision of cutting 2 defenders that to pass it to his team-mates! LOL And the Equaliser was a real beauty. But the celebration was errr.... HAHA see ya next week dude!

I'm Stretched!

Opp: Sailors FC

Time: 3pm

Attire: Yellow

Venue: Bedok View Secondary School 

For the first time of my Managing Career (aiseh!) i have been so stretched that i could not form up at least 11 guys this today's game. But i'm thankful for all you guys who have now made it 14 man strong! With Ramadan i have already lost tin, on the treatment table we have derek. And on the airplane we have Kahwoon, Jack and Joe. And on National Duty we have Renjie training to be soldier.

But nevertheless i'm still able to field a strong team this weekend and lets look at this blog at 6pm to see what the outcome is! Our end to a 9 game unbeaten streak or 1st position on the table!
