1st Toa Payoh Sec, 1500 Hrs
YSOSRS FC 1 FMFC 2
(Calvin x1)
As per the title of this post, I'm gonna concentrate on the positives. Yes we were defeated with a goal in the dying moments of the game but the truth was after conceding an early goal to a glorious freekick by the opposing captain (Law and those in the wall may argue otherwise. Apologies if it was my bad), we more than held our own in the game and probably deserved at least a draw today.
Facing a team that had plummeted their opponents 9-1, 8-0 and 6-0 in the last 3 games, we were never gonna go gung ho against them. Unfortunately for us, when it came down hopefully having lady luck smile down on us, she failed to show us any generosity for we failed to get the rub of the green with certain referee-ing decisions plus of course, failing to convert one or 2 really decent chances. No blame for those boys though as they tried their very best.
Very good goal for us to equalise and send us all to heaven for a moment or 2 as Santosh was released down the right in one of those rare moments this afternoon, sending in a delightful cross that eluded all of the FM defenders, the ball found it's way to Calvin who finished it superbly to keep up his record of a goal a game. Class dude. Keep it going my man.
Much blame can be attached to anyone for the way we conceded the 2nd goal as the midfielders (me included) failed to win the 1st ball and then the defenders failing to read the danger. But hey, shit happens and unfortunately for us, it resulted in the winning goal for our opponents. Just think about it boys, and then move on. Let's aim to end the season on a high with 2 more games to go.
MOTM: Chi was my MOTM today although I personally felt Amin and Syafiq were both really decent. It is no surprise that our ball winners or defenders stood out more with the way the game flowed. Chi was tenacious in the tackle and full of energy throughout. It is no exaggeration that we were more than able to stamp our authority in the midfield battle during his time on the field. Well done chi.
Gaffer's Thoughts: Unlucky but we did our best on the day. Frustrations galore at the final result but look forward and think about the bigger picture, we grew as a team and we learnt more about the respective characters in the group. Our time will come, so keep persevering and hopefully we keep enjoying our football. And in other news, a little bird told me that YSOSRS may very well have good news on the horizon with regards to the little post on our facebook group earlier in the week. Seems like we may just be a really enticing commodity or perhaps, we just have a very powerful little bird at negotiating such deals for us. Whatever the case, thank you guys for playing your hearts out. Rest well and see you next week against St Andrews.
