Yes, its just beside Tampines mall and we can hop over to grab a bite after the game! =)

1st in the league and 2 games left! Sounds really good isn't it? But sad to say it isn't that awesome... We are leading the pack being the only team who played the most games and others (tour and thunder) can easily overtake us if they win their game/games in hand. But their task won't be easy because they are now being pressured to win each game they play to overthrow us. And their games won't be easy, with tour still to face Zespol once and Vnpnus twice. And for thunder? Well still many games to go and we still could have a say to it as well next week!

That being said, the pressure is on us as well as we need to win the last 2 games and not count on others to drop pts. This upcoming game against Star CF will be rather tricky as previously we are not really well trained and well drilled to the way they attack. The 4 goals we let in, 3 were really soft and should not have happened if we were to defend tight enough. Nevertheless what over is over, we shall look into what had happened previously and do something about it this time round.

This weekend we will most probably set up a team mainly to deal with aerial threats and have good fast movement along the flanks and midfield. Their main threats previously was from their throw-ins and the wingers. So what we could do is to tighten that down and put in players who can win the air most of the time.

They have recently picked up quite a reasonable form by winning AJPL 3-0 and losing to both thunder and tour by 1 goal. Same rule applies, we should not underestimate them and we must do everything we can to beat them to stay in the hunt for the trophy! Remember winning this trophy means Div 1 and Div 2 champions! Machiam d2d sat 3pm champion like that! We can do it!


Player of the Month - Ng KahWoon(14)

This month's Player of the Month is by far in Team Goat's history the clearest of winner (all 5 comms member voted for him). KahWoon has shown his dedication and his heart to the team by running his lungs out for the past 3 games (not to mention the injuries he sustains for team). His presence in the midfield have proved crucial for us to maintain our unbeaten run and not to say creating the 3 game winning streak. Although he still lacks some skills and vision to help the team attack (Somehow i wonder how he gets his assists!). But i guess baby steps will do.(cannot say u too good rite? later u fly! haha!)

Previously he was really down as he felt that he could not improve to be a better player. But now being a friendly neighborhood fighter i believe he will die fighting for the team than let anyone run him down! So i say Jia you! and you will be a better player as the days goes by!


Jerseys

As you should have heard about the limited amount of stocks available to our jerseys we are only down with 2 choices at the moment. Either Yellow Apacs or the Blue Nike. As i'm in camp and unable to take a photo i guess i have to try and find something that looks like it from the internet and here it is...




















Our comes without the collar. I would see what you guys have to say and than determine which jersey would be chosen. A confirmation will be up around Thursday.

Kambeng!
