Mid-Season Team's Review

Hi all Goatees,

If you felt that there is way to many post currently i'm sorry about it cos it might be confusing and a drag of time to read so many posts but i feel that today is the day i should write about this cos after our game (winning games HAHA) will be the time where many of us will visit the blog to read the articles thus which is why i decide to write it today. But still remember to read the articles before this review which are,
  • Post match against Swee Swee 1 FC
  • Videos on how to be a better defender, midfielder and striker
Meanwhile let me start on this article, like what the title have pointed out i'm here talking about our team's performance through this half of the season and what we are looking forward to. I have broken this down into a few points which i would like to share as the President for the team,
  1. Form
  2. Transfers
  3. Funds
  4. Aims/Goals
  5. Player of the Season Candidate
  6. Future Prospect for Goat
  7. Current Best 11
1. Form

This season our form is quite special. In the 1st half of the season (actually is 7 but we already played 8) we have won 4 drawn 1 lost 3. The lost and draw games all happened in our 1st 4 games and we have won 4 consecutively on the trot. To win a title here in D2D the most games u can lose is 3. (according to previous records) So does that mean we can't lost anymore game? No!

To my knowledge this season's league in Division 1 is pretty tight with many good teams competing for the title this season. Thus i would think we could afford to lose 1 and draw another 1 but it would make us in a pretty close fight for it again and who knows the discipline part may play apart again and we will win the title due to that? I would say so long we keep our winning run in tact we should be safe.

F.y.i We have Thunder team, Zespol, 2 games against Star CF, VNPNUS and of cos Swee Swee 1 FC (looking forward) to play against.

2. Transfers







To be honest, we are actually not required to bring in anymore outfield players or you could also say that actually we do not need anymore players but if you would like to bring a friend along for a game is ok but i (+ comm members) can't promise you and your friend that he will have ample time to play. So do let us know in advance and we'll look at that particular weekend turnout to decide whether he should come alright?

But if you have a very good player to intro do let us know we will see what we can do. But guys do keep a look out if you have a very good striker or goalkeeper, the team will be better if there is one! Thanks!

3.Funds







In the past, we use to collect $2 a month for the fund but after collecting 2 months, the treasurer had said that we are actually collecting too much from you guys which i have the same thoughts so for now as we are out of our mini 'Financial Crisis' we will collect money around every 2 months! Thanks

4. Aims/Goals












As i have share a bit in the 'Form' section, to me i feel that since we are in top 3 now we should be gunning for the top position. Looking at the table (http://d2dsports.footballopod.com/D2D_LeagueTable.aspx?id=60&leagueid=43&divid=75), both the teams in top 2 have played a game more than us thus if we win the upcoming games on hand we should be able to close the gap. To me, we should be gunning for a simple top 2 position and if the results goes to our favor a 1st place position would not be too hard right?

Don't everyone wishes to have another party like last season again? So if you guys want it, lets dig hard and push for it! 6 more games and maybe another medal would be on our necks again!

5. Player of the Season Candidate










This season Player of the Season Candidate have seen quite a few changes with a new forerunner and many new faces into contention! 1 player that impress me this season is our Captain, Jackson, who is on red hot form scoring! He also lead the team with example and scores crucial winning goals.

Manfred and BoonWee have also come into contention with their assist and goals (by manfred). They would be a threat to Jackson if their forms continue! Yiwen is still in the light fighting for this player of the season, though he is silent this time round but the magical Yiwen can come out from no where and starts scoring all over the park! He is a force to be reckon with! So here you go these are the players who are the forerunners for this season's player of the season award! Actually i would like to point out that ZhuLiang could also have an outside chance as well, after he stepped back to the defense line more clean sheet and fewer shots have reached me. Maybe its me, but i feel as a keeper his heading skills in the center helped me a lot!

6. Future Prospect










Like what we have joked in the past we are looking to win both div 1 and div 2 (already won) champions before we would move out to bigger league. So what i'm looking at is that maybe if we could win again this season we would jump ship over to Espzen to fight for more glory. But if we do not we would possibly talk about it after the season is over with you guys! Are we too stay and fight our move over alright!

But re-assured the decision will be made by you guys and not only by the comms member. Also, i would also ask to rest for at least 1 month before the new season kick off. Like what we have done last season we only rest 1-2 weeks before another season start. I would feel it is tiring and exhausting as we haven had any friendly games to rest our mind (as winning is not a must in league games!) and we would need to challenge again.

7. Current First 11 (This is from what i have seen when i'm between the sticks!)

Goalkeeper -         Me (duh!)
RightBack -           Jeffrey
RightCentreBack- Norman
LeftCentreBack -  ZhuLiang
LeftBack-             Ariel
DefensiveMid-      Thaddeus
DefensiveMid2-    Jackson
LeftWinger-          Manfred
RightWinger-        JinChuen
AttackingMid-      BoonWee
Striker-                 KahWoon


This is what i have chosen from the ways you guys have been playing in the field. I have hard thoughts when i'm writing this because i'm afraid that this might backfire on me causing you guys to be angry or disappointed. But guys let me tell you this, i wrote this is to let you guys know of your form and there is contest in every position. You are in the list now cos you are doing well but once u start to slip off many will be coming to be in the best 11. For those who are not in the list don't angry at me, prove to this idiot keeper that he is wrong (like what Manfred said, let your feet do the talking) and be the best that you are! Look at the list properly, Yiwen and Kiong is not in! (I think he is so going to score goal for upcoming games liao!)

Thats all folks, hope you guys understand why i do this and it really took me sometime to think about it. I'm 100% with the team and i'm sure you guys are as well! So lets see what Team Goat can do!

Kambeng!
Jeff

(P.s i'm happy that everyone who did not turn up for the game texted me asking about the result! we did not have these in our previous years! We are bonding well! keep it up!)
