Robin, looks like must amend game plan.
I hope we have sufficient reserves... not sure if can last whole match playing in the centre...

Khai, wat happen to your shin?? Irwin may be coming down this Sunday for our game. We were just talking about you. We had a PSA Cup game today, beat CIAS 4-2.....into quater finals. Will you still come down even though you are injured? Hope you can still come down.
Russ, may get one of my player down. Name is Irwin, captain for my police team. Will review game plan at later stage. -
Alfred has booked the referee and Mun Yeong will be coming down.
-
I must sat that the ref is quite good... Good to hear about Mun Yeong, as he will give us more options. By the way, not sure if Damien can recover from the last match (sprained ankle)...Originally posted by bara_cuda:Alfred has booked the referee and Mun Yeong will be coming down. -

good to have irwin around.hopefully he will make a big impact.
i try to come down on sunday but would be very frustrating having to watch the game from the sidelines.. -
Sad to hear that Khai and Damien may be out due to injuries. Spoken to Irwin about the game. Will give me an answer within the next 2 days. If Irwin is coming, he will be able to take over Damien's or Khairul's role. I'm sure he will make an impact.
We still have a couple of days to go, hopefully all injuries can heal by then. Khai, dun despair.
Maybe can play for the last 15 minutes of the game?? Whatever it is, I hope that you will still come down for the game. Can point out our mistakes from sidelines. Patrick should also be back from States by then. Mun Yeong is good, hopefully he is able to play wth our team. The last time round, he didn't look that happy. Dun really know how to approach him.

By the way, Khairul, having shin injuries for about 2 months, you may have a crack in your shin thus the pain from running.
I feel that you should go check the problem with the doctor. If it's a crack and you dun remedy it early, the crack may open up causing more damages. I also think you should consider wearing shin pads when you play. Talking about this, I dun think you can try the shin pads when you buy (as pointed out by Russ in earlier messages). -

Robin, you don't call it a crack, fracture is the correct term for it. Anyway, Khairul's injury resembles what I had in JC. I had shin splints and the best treatment is to stop running and jumping until it heals itself. Being a student, I was also refered to the SSC physiotherapist. However, I do not think Khairul's is as serious.

By the way, you can try out the shin pads. -

anybody wants to give a review of the game?
how was the new player? -
I personally think we still played better, but basically lost out in fitness. Those young guys had more stamina and pace. We still need to do more off-the-ball running into open spaces as well. So when's the next game? If there isn't one this Sunday, we can go down to the field and have a training-cum-kick around session.Originally posted by kai28:anybody wants to give a review of the game?

I suggest that we have our own soccer session this Sun without arranging a match. Pls keep all players informed.
In the meantime, opponents can still be arranged for the weeks ahead. Khai, can you kindly take charge of the scheduling. Cheers. -
Training sounds good. I will let jimmy, chester and alfred know but if they have any queries, I will refer them to you. A piece of bad news, Marcus is out as he needs to work on sundays.Originally posted by Robin.G:I suggest that we have our own soccer session this Sun without arranging a match.

Better decide if it's gonna be a kick-around session, training session, or both. Then those coming down will know what to expect and be in the right frame of mind.Originally posted by bara_cuda:Training sounds good.

robin,i think the problem is we are playing a formation which is not suitable for the players that we have.no point playing a certain formation if we don't have the right players for it...
-
I dun think there is going to be any training but more of kicking around. Probably, play 2 sides with small goal-poles if possible. With Marcus out, we have to look for more players.
Khai, I feel that you may be right about the formation. Maybe we should play 4-4-2. More straight forward and simple.....I think more suitable for our players. From the last few games, I feel that we are not sufficiently holding/cutting the ball in the midfield area. The ball keeps going back to our defence so quickly, making everybody tired.
With 4-4-2:
Defensively, we can play Charles as last man, Jeremy as stopper, Chester as right back and Alfred as left back (must source for 2 reserve defenders, Ben? Jae?).
In midfield, we will have Russ playing left mid, Damien as defensive center mid and Khai as attacking centre mid, I will play right mid (reserves can be Patrick, Mun Yeong, Michael and maybe Jason?)
Striking will still be Alvin and Jimmy. Alternatively, Jeremy.
I hope that Jae and Jason can join us.
In the meantime, pls keep those feedback coming in. -
robin, u forgot 1 important player, ian...
anyway,playing russ and urself as wingers is not ideal as both of u are better off in a more central role.that's where ur strengths are.
ever considered 4-3-1-2? u,russ and damien will form the 3 in the middle of midfield and the 1 attacking mid will play a free role - switching between both flanks to provide width if required..

In fact, I just played that formation for 'A' Div team yesterday for the police tournament. We won and we are in the semi finals for 2 years running. I'm very happy. Getting to finals will be a bonus.
Khai, dun be shy, I can only think of one suitable person for the free attacking midfield position and it's YOU!! You are right, I totally forgot about Ian. He will play left defence and both Chester and Alfred can rotate to play right back.
I really hope our boys won't be too dishearten by our string of defeats. I am not for that matter. I enjoyed all the games except one. I thought we take a break from a match this week for our boys to "recharge". I just hope that our players are committed and won't give up on this team.
In the meantime, do we have enough players to play 7/6 aside with small goal poles on the field? Alvin, Russ, Khai and Chester, please check with the players under your purview. We can work on some set pieces and corners before that. I will be playing a nite game for my church team on that day but will still come down.
Alvin & Russ, my car repaired already. Leak in radiator. Cost me $160/- bucks!!!

Alvin & Russ, my car repaired already. Leak in radiator. Cost me $160/- bucks!!! there's a couple other players who can play that free role..anyway i'm out for the time being what rite and i'll be out for the whole of november as well due to the fasting month...
alvin,maybe you would want to check with alan and hong wei if they want to join the kick around session? perhaps our players can form 1 team and they can form another and we can have a 7-a-side game.. -

By the way, Charles and Damien won't be joining us, as they've been playing with injuries and will be recuperating this weekend.
