Without a no. of our senior players this weekend, Team Goat's depth might be tested against last season's runners-up VNPNUS at Siglap Secondary. Without the likes of Jeffrey and Laphang for this weekend due to SAF's duties they will join the pair of kenny and Jack who is also away preparing for exams and away in exchange programme respectively. This will see the team being narrowed down to 16 senior players this coming weekend. And keeping this in mind, the no of 16 is the maximum turn out the team could get.
Last week saw Team Goat finally putting a solitary point up to the on going 2nd season in our venture at D2D. Yiwen, has added this while i was talking to him before me blogging this, " To think about it our team is one of those who had little rest if u look at the table. The rest of the team have a month or 2 rest while we just continued on after we finished our previous season." The other team who he mentioned about is Thunderveluboomqiesi which has performed pretty well this season with 2 win in 2 games which placed them in the hunt for this season's title race.
On another note, while i was writing this match preview i saw this on soccernet and finds that it's somewhat pretty true and sure enough we could pull this off as well...
"When I was at Chelsea, Alex [Ferguson] described that season as the best season ever - but even then they did not start so well,'' Grant said.
"You don't need to be at your best in the first few months, but at the end of the season.
"Alex is very clever. He does it every year. I can't remember one season when United started with full power.''
This is what Avram Grant has said before his match against the red devils tonight. Here is the link to the full preview ( http://soccernet.espn.go.com/preview?id=309506&cc=4716 )
So, we may not start off pretty well this season but we definitely can bring back the previous Team Goat which was champion last season! Many of us could start to feel a down in form and feeling rusty having played too many games, i suggest we should really relax and enjoy some soccer out of the league. For example, since we have Safra sessions during weekdays i would encourage all of you who are able to make it to go for that. A social kick-about is always good to get the pressure out of us!
So till then here are the information for this upcoming game...
Opp: VNPNUS (Previous Runner-up in Div 1)
Time: 3pm
Attire: Red
Venue: Siglap Secondary School
(http://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&expIds=17259,26442,27744&xhr=t&cp=7&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=siglap+secondary+school&fb=1&gl=sg&hq=siglap+secondary+school&hnear=Singapore&cid=0,0,4783467802873837172&ei=9vr0TPrYD8yHrAe4m-TzBg&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=2&sqi=2&ved=0CCAQnwIwAQ)
Last time i was there it was a sandy affair, but it was a few years back, lets hope that they have re-grass the venue!
Lastly, i have decided to add a few more awards to the team,
(1) Man of the Match
(2) Player of the Month
Man of the match will be based on the performance you played that weekend. Everyone in the team will have a chance to be here if u performed well that day and i will personally write a review on your performance to why u got the title! So put it your best and you will find your name on the right side of the blog
Player of the month will be a little more tricky. To be player of the month, you have to have a good attendance when it comes to our match if we have 4 the least amount of games you have to come would be 3 and if we were to have 3 games than the least amount of games you have to come would be 2 and it goes on.... The player will be voted by our committee of 5 members and will be announced and updated during our 1st game of the month! We have the resulted for November Player of the month! Let's wait till sat to find out who he is!
(PS) due to lack of fund in Team Goat you don't really get anything now when u win the award, just a name actually. We will see how it goes as the Team Fund starts to grow abit more we might buy something to keep it interesting!
Kambeng!
Jeff
