League Game:
There is a league game this week. We will be playing against Hougang North FC.

Notes: EXPECT A HARD GAME. Hougang North is 2 points behind us with a game in hand, and they must win to overtake us, so we can expect them to go all out to get a result as this is their last chance. This is a must win game for us, once we win we will be 80% certain of 6th position, and along our goal of reaching 5th. Previous result was a 6-3 win. It was a goalfest but we were too careless to concede that many. We conceded due to lack of concentration in defensive marking and slow release of the ball.

How to win this game is to keep our composure and keep our passing game going. The last time we did this we dominated the half. Their weakness is their defence, especially their right back where Yu Xiang, Ray and Calvin totally destroyed them there last time round. If they are using the same players we need to take advantage of this. They deal poorly with overlapping runs by fullbacks and off the ball running from deep in centre midfield. So penetration via wings and one-touch passing in midfield will be our key. We will be expecting chances to come our way so our forwards need to take their chances to create an early advantage and dominance psychologically. Defensive wise, their wingers are physically strong, though not all that pacy, and their attacks mainly come from the sides, so our fullbacks need to take note. Their main striker is possibly their most dangerous player, but if we cut out the supply to him, we should be fine. So that means we have to defend from midfield down.
