Committment of Players.....Moving On
-
Just wanna hear some feedback from you guys....
Though it is good to have a large pool of players which are committed to the team, i feel that to have 20 players coming down for every game is a bit too big a number. In the last game, we only had 3 subs and already most of us are confined to playing about 60 mins of the game. With 9 subs, on average every player would get only 1 half of the game. And this seems most likely the case as we now have a fully fit team apart from chester who is still out with injury. Moreover, we'll have another addition to the team tomorrow.
Obviously, what all of us want is to have fun playing these friendly games but if we have to rotate players too often during the course of the game, it would definitely take that "fun" away.
I'm not trying to sound too serious about this but like i said, we'd like to keep these sunday morning sessions fun and enjoyable. -
Your concern is noted. Personally, I am comfortable with the figure number now but I dun see a need for any more addition that will be more than our current 19 or 20.
Basically, everyone will play at least 45 minutes which I think is a fair share of the game. I also believe that 45 minutes can be as fun for the players. Along the way, some will play more while some will play less, depending on the situation. In our team, not many can last the full 90 minutes EFFECTIVELY. I have actually fixed the players for certain positions and they should rotate accordingly. The arrangements are as follows:
1. Colin
Defence
2. Charles
3. Jeremy
4. Pat - right back (rotate with 6. Kelvin)
5. Ian - left back (rotate with 7. Alfred)
Midfield
8. Alvin Chua -right mid (rotate with 9. Alvin Ang)
10. Derrick - left mid (rotate with 11. Lawrence)
12. Myself - centre (rotate with 13.Damien)
14. Khairul - centre (rotate with 15. Jimmy)
Strikers
16. Russell (rotate with 17. Alvin Chia)
18. Robin (rotate with 19. Ah Boon)
20. Chester shall cover centre defence when he comes back.
We are a friendly committed bunch and I see great things ahead of us. For now, we have just started settling down and I dun see the need for too many changes. The fitness of many are still lacking and it's good to start picking up. As for guest players like Bernard, "Chik Ping" etc, my stand is that they will only be GUEST players as of now. Both Russ and Colin are aware of the situation and my stand has been put very clearly upfront.

Well all i can say is dat the players comin in & covering for 1 another has done a marvellous job.......its as though the team nvr changed at all durg the whole course of the match......keep it up Lads.........as 4 the rotation part i totally can sympathise with KAI28 thoughts......bt jz look wat happened to our opponets in the las game! so i sld say we are rather forunate to have a large squad who are not onli commited but equally gd plyrs as well.........i knw wats its lik 2 worry of nt havg enugh plyers, trust me i rather nt be in dat position ya........fr wat ive seen so far we have abt 16-17 playrs per match which is perfect.........anther thg wld be dat me & jeremy have been playg full games so far.....i definitley wld mind be rotate at times though......y dnt we try 2 get some of the midfielders to play dwn sometimes jz in case.....its a gd time 2 do some experimnentg nw dat the team is more than less stable.....yr thoughts on dat??Originally posted by Robin.G:Your concern is noted.

well, it seems that every1 is happy with the current arrangement and i would also assume that we've made sure that all our players would be more than contented to play only 1 half of the game...
btw, apart from chester any1 else would not be down for this sunday? i wld be bringing down a couple of my guys down as guest players, 1 of them is a keeper... -
OOooiii...guys, NO MORE guest players pls!@#
Dun bring down anymore.
Cannot make any more provisions for additional players.
I am already informing Colin not to call Bernard down for this Sun's game as I am not able to field him at all. Jimmy, Damien, Ian and Kelvin will be back.
FINAL STAND - NO MORE NEW ADDITIONAL PLAYERS (other than our current 19) whether guest or no guest.
