Team discipline has got to improve
Another thing is sometimes i feel that comments on the pitch are very negative and that has got to change..The moment we start throwing negative remarks at each other we start losing focus and the team morale generally deteriorates..So in futre i would like to see more encouragement and also positive remarks..For an instance if someone gives u a bad ball pls try to motivate the person by saying "Dae betta ball da.." or if someone misses a man "Dae come on..Harder abit da"..this kinda comments get the team playing betta..The moments words like lousy and vulgarites come out it really spoils the game..pls dont think i'm pointing fingers at anyone but all of us have been guilty of this at some point so lets put in more effort to eradicate this negativity in our game..Also another issue is playing to the whistle and not giving up when u cant reach a ball..Many a times i feel we get carried away and not playing to the whistle.Also when we cant reach a ball lets not turn our back away or just stand still..Try to push harder and give chase..If u just give it already shows ur lack of hunger for victory..So let us all try to put in some effort to make this changes happen..i hope i never upset anyone and if i did i'm sorry because i really feel this issues have to be sorted out..

Match Review:
Boys yet again we've returned with a poor defeat despite a decent display..After losing to Tusser the defeat to CUFC seems belittled..Tusser are definitely not as organised as our previous opponents..The only difference between them and us is they defended well and took their chances..Our defence was in shambles and we seem to often put ourselves into unnecessary pressure.Nevertheless Keerthi did a good job marshalling the defence..But no point pointing fingers at the defenders because the midfield was also guilty of not tracking back to support the defence..Overall i think this game was definitely not up to standard and we got to really buck up for the next one..It was the case of the same problem we always face..Going down early and fighting to make a comeback..Two games in a row this has cost us badly..As we surged forward for goals we forgot our defensive duties and also to keep possession..The only intention of scoring has backfired and this is a lesson to be learnt..Dunman are also in the mould of our previous two opponents..very well organised,good in the air and very physical..So we cannot play the same way we did previously..Just because we've beaten them twice b4 doesnt mean we can be complacent..Remember both games was won single handedly by DOc and also by the odd goal..So lets go into this game with our heads up and a clear mind..

Regarding Training and Team Cohesion

Pls read and spread the msg
Hi boys, Kathir here. I’ll be heading down to India at the end of the year on a youth expedition project with NIE. We will be going to Yuksam, not too far from Delhi. We will be there to promote eco tourism to that part of India because it’s a beautiful city/town that has been overlooked. We will be upgrading their current greenhouse and be helping them with growing of plants for medicinal purposes. We will also be raising awareness of proper waste management by helping to clean up their river areas etc. We will be self-funding this project and hence we’re selling tee-shirts @ 15 bucks each to raise funds. It’s dri-fit material and although Yuksam maybe be redundant to most of you, I hope you’ll get one to help out a really good cause. I assure you the money goes towards purchasing of materials and equipment for the upgrading and NOT our flight tickets or expenditures.The design is as follows. So far Vish and Siva have got one each, and we can use it as a warm up kit or something la…haha. Leave

Match Review:
Ok boys..For our standards being defeated by CUFC is unacceptable but we have to concede that we didnt deserve to win either..They were really organised and put away chances that came their way..We were messy all over the park..everyone from the defence to the attack lacked the fire for this tie..But i'm sure we'll bounce back against Tusser Rangers to erase this blip..MOM has been given to Rethish for producing few wonderful saves though he clearly isnt a keeper..Anand had a good league debut showing glimpses of his talents throughout the game..And in time to come i'm sure we'll see the best of him once he gets used to us and our style of play..Few negatives tt i wanna highlight..No offence to anyone at all..This review is supposed to make us thiNk and improve not retaliate..Defensively we were shaky in the 2nd half..First half i was very pleased with the defence..we've got to work on the staggered formation in defence..flat four doesnt seem to be working for us coz we are still not comfortable with holding a line..And when a line goes wrong its gonna cost us dearly.The defenders will discuss in future wad stlye they wanna play.For example against fast teams playing a line can backfire.Also its always risky coz some refs can be really cock eyed.against teams like merida i think we can play the offside trap.Beacause they dont have fast attackers.But we must be also able to mix it ard.If we're gonna be predictable opponents are confirm gonna benefit..Midfield as a whole didnt have much bonding this week..I guess going down a goal early we lost our composure and rushed our play to get a goal..And tt cost us as they hit 2 more on the counter.The midfields objective in the next game will be to keep possession and play near passes as much as possible unless u see a clear option to pump.I'll have a more detail talk with u'll about this in the next game .Strikers lacked the cutting edge but i thiNk u guys didnt see much of the ball.And also i always need one striker to play as high as possible so tt the opponents line in deeper.Anyways lets not be disheartened abt this defeat coz i've full confidence that next game we'll be back firing on all cylinders..Ok boys i'll update the details abt the next game asap..Til then have a great week..
