ok just to share from yesterdays game.
Coach spoke to me after the game yesterday. He emphasized that he was unhappy on how the team was thrown out of the game by the opponents dirty tactics like diving in for tackles and etc etc. We gave them to much respect and we were to kind as footballers. He wants all of us to be stronger in heart and not to let opponents step on our heads.
Second point on characters on the field. (Our players watching the game from the touchline also agreed). All of us were to quiet in the field, as in there was not really anyone in the field that who could bring the morale of the team up. This is for sure is not the job of the captain only as almost all players especially the experienced should be able to encourage when the tough gets going. All of us are good friends off the field where we joke before, during, after trg and wherever possible, therefore when we are playing as a team, we should not have a problem communicating. Im not saying this has been lacking in the last few games but this weaknesses were exposed by a rather average, predictable TP side. And that is a cause for worry.
So as the first game of SUNIG approaches, lets all be in the same page and try to change a little bit of our game by being more daring and vocal while playing on the pitch. All who played the friendly against SIM and last year's SUNIG Game should know that SIM are no pushovers and certainly irritating as an opponent; their bench will taunt you, their keeper will use ridiculous waste time tactics, and their players will dished out ridiculously dangerous tackles and always always complaining to the referee for every decision against them,all to put us out of the game. Therefore,whoever that is playing have to be prepared mentally and physically.

I think this "new" team has enjoyed a pretty good start since getting together and yesterday was a real lesson for us. We were put in a situation we haven't been in before and we looked like we didn't quite know how to react.
But this isn't by any means a crisis so we don't have to start panicking or be demoralized. Like what Feroz and Winston has said, we need to start getting into the habit of talking to each other and lifting each other up when the chips are down.
Forget about the mistakes we all made for the match. It's more worthwhile finding solutions than dwelling on problems. There's a long way to go for this team and things can only get better...
