FULL TIME --- SCORCHERS FC 1:2 Skopet FC

Scorers : Scorchers FC --- Albert
Skopet FC --- ???

Guys, your long awaited match report. Honestly, i can't remember much about the match, at least i do not remember much significant moments in the match besides us hitting the post twice and Albert scoring one hell of a scorcher, a beautifully executed half volley that floated over the keeper into the top corner that left him with no chance at all. Other than that, chances were far and few, both from our side and the opposition. I guess I'll be touching more on how i feel we can improve as a team.

Verdict ---
Once again, I believe that we have had a much stronger 2nd half. The 1st half of this match was AWFUL. I mean this to be of no offense to anyone but there is a reason for asking everyone to arrive earlier for the match. Most of us started the game without a proper warm up, not to mention not even having touched the ball much. This is, I believe, one of the reasons that should be attributed to our relatively poorer 1st half showing every single match. Henceforth, should there be no violent objections, the meeting time from now on shall be half an hour before the match kicks off. Anyone who does not agree with me please do voice your opinions.

Some useful observations pointed out to the team by the referee on that day were that our team, whilst having possession, does not make use of it meaningfully to create chances. There isn't enough switching of play from flanks to flanks, which means that play is always congested on one side. Perhaps one way of doing this is that we can be more patient in our build-up etc. Hmmm, honestly talking is easier than doing it, so hopefully everyone can turn up early for the next match and we can have a pre-match talk. Haha.

Okay, i'm out of things to write. Despite not playing well personally in the previous game, it was really great to see the team playing with so much determination and spirit. Our play is certainly getting better with each game, and may we continue to progress. Will really appreciate any feedback from u guys. And before i forget, I think that we should be communicating more on the pitch and encouraging one another. Specially for Ying Hao --- less kb-ing pls, it definitely does not help the cause. After all, everyone is trying their best.

All right, see u guys on Sunday.
