Match Report:
Midland Wolves FC vs Ace Galaxy FC
HT: 0-1
FT: 0-2
MW's Cards: Nil
MW's Goals: Nil
MW's MOM: JJ
Formation: 3-5-2 AT
Team: Kunyi, PC, Dansen, Fabian (Vincent/Khairi/Yeepoo), Keegan, Sebas (Fabian), Welson, Jason, Syafiq (Wenjie), JJ, BX (Ray)
This is our second game of the league, and we managed to settle in much better than the first game. There was much feeling of anticipation on the bench as we started out strongly, with our defence combination of Dansen, PC and Fabian doing well keeping the central region locked down. Midfield tactics of playing wingbacks were fairly effective as we managed to pin the opponents in their own half in the early part of the game, with the first corner going to us. JJ, who was looking lively throughout the game had the first opportunity when the cross came in. He outjumped the defender and his header was soaring towards the corner but for an acrobatic save from Galaxy's keeper denied us our first goal. Another good opportunity arose when Jason and JJ combined well in midfield with 2 series of wall passes to cut through the opponent's midfield like they weren't there. JJ had a shot on goal but the shot was weak and easy for the keeper. Jason had the third chance but his shot was saved again with a fantastic acrobatic dive from Galaxy's keeper. That keeper would win the game MOM in my opinion.
Fabian pulled up with a hamstring problem and Vincent came in at right wingback, with Sebas dropping into centreback. Welson was doing well in the DMC role but lacked support, so the midfield was starting to be overwhelmed. Galaxy were mainly left with attacks through the flanks but mostly resulted in nothing. But they won their first corner and from that very corner scored. Kunyi was impeded to the save but the referee didn't see the incident. 0-1 to Galaxy. Half time.
Second half Syafiq off Wenjie on. Vincent off Khairi on. Keegan was doing well for most of the game, but as the more technically comfortable opponents started to dominate play in midfield our flanks were starting to show signs of weaknesses. Khairi was on to replace Vincent to keep pace with Galaxy's speedy left midfielder. But after 10 mins, a hard tackle and Khairi off and Yeepoo on. PC was commanding as usual and we managed to catch the opponents offside on a few occasions as they played direct. They were running out of attacking ideas and Galaxy resorted to long shots which is easy for Kunyi to deal with. Kunyi hardly had to make any save in the game. Dansen's long punts from defence was good, but again our midfield was lacking bite in winning the aerial balls as the opponent's start to dominate possession. Wolves defence were working overtime. BX was very active dribbling and causing all sorts of problem to the opponent's defence, till the point where he was chopped down numerous times and he lost his cool ranting at the referee for lack of protection. BX was taken out and Ray in to maintain the dynamics of the team. Ray's pace and bold running was causing a different type of problem to the opponent's. The second goal came when Keegan played the Galaxy's forward on-side and he went on to beat Kunyi on a one on one. 0-2 to Galaxy. Full time.
Wolve's MOM: JJ. Showed very good touches in the game, composed game play, combined well with Jason, could've scored and had several shots on target.
Points to note:
While we dominated the first half, we need to be more effective in our finishing. We created more chances but weren't able to finish. In fact we created twice as much chances as the opponents. Our opponents only had 3 shots on goal and 2 went in. We had at least 5-6 but not converted. Some credit to the opponent keeper, but still we should've done better to score.
Attacking midfielders need to help in supporting the defence. Defence was working overtime cause midfield was over run.
While there were spells of good possession, but our passing could still be better. and MORE EFFECTIVE. Again, we had a lack of crosses in from the wings.
On the whole we played better than our first game, and the scoreline flattered the opponents, where the game was in fact much tighter than it reflected. But we CAN play at a much higher level as we have done it before. Keep working Wolves! We can do it!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Midland Wolves FC vs Empire FC
HT: 0-2
FT: 0-3

Formation: 4-5-1
Gk: Kunyi
Def: PC, Dansen, Calvin (Alvin), Vincent (Keegan)
Mid: Jason (Ray), Sebas, Welson, Wenjie, BX
Fwd: JJ (Shawn)
Unused Subs: Syafiq, Yuxiang, Yeepoo
Thoughout the game we were nervous. Possesion was poorly used and our play was very disorganised. We were a bundle of nerves as control was poor, alot of misplaced passes and hardly made any chances in the first half. Our corner kicks there weren't enough movement, and our defence marking was horrible in the first half, with Vincent and Calvin caguht ball watching numerous times, leaving their men unmarked. The opponent's weren't doing too well also, but had more oppotunities which PC and Dansen did well to contain. Others who did well were Welson, who was fighting for every ball in the middle and tried to get the passing game going, and BX who looked dangerous whenever he was on the ball. However the Wolves weren't playing as a unit and chances were few and far between. The goal came during Empire's corner kick, which found one of their players in our box. The first shot was blocked by our defender, but the rebound was slammed into the top corner by Empire's striker. The second goal came when a loose ball was put in towards our box, and Vincent being underpressure tried to clear but the ball hit his arm in the process. Ref blew for a penalty which was converted.
Second half was slightly better than the first, with Keegan coming on for Vincent, Alvin for Calvin, the defence was shored up. Keegan was doing well in his role, out dribbling his marker a few times. Sebas, who was lacklustre in midfield, was pushed back as centre back while Dansen was put to mark out Empire's dangerman at right back. Alvin pushed into DMC. Jason who has seen good possession with the ball in the first half but his passing was off, came off for Ray, and JJ came off for Shawn who took the creative mid role and Wenjie pushed up front. The changes made some impact with Shawn troubling the opponents several times with his dribbling and distribution. Alvin and Welson did well to win balls in the midfield as we started to play abit more. Shawn had a couple of efforts in the second half that hit the cross bar and upright. Just 3 inches more and it would've been in. We had a legitimate penalty appeal turned down when Ray was obviously brought down in the box, but the Ref waved play on. The Ref was very very very poor, missing some obvious foul play and was blind to numurous foul throws Empire had. The referring was almost one-sided. The final goal came when Ray was caught in possession and the Empire midfielder ran down the flank to cross for an unmarked Empire striker to tap in. Final score 0-3.
Our MOM pick was Welson who fought for every ball in midfield, won several of them and had shown composure several times to take the ball down to feet and tried to get the team passing. He didn't show too much respect to the opponent and was physical in his challenges, hence he could win the ball.
Points to note:
We need to stay more composed in game, get the passing game going. We need to keep possession, take down and ball, and play and not panic.
We must remember the fundamentals, LOOK before we PASS. Also corner kicks might have been better if we had more movement in the box.
Where were the 1,2 long/short corner tactics we trained? Totally forgotten.
Our attackers need to TAKE SHOTS. Dribbling is one thing, but remember the PURPOSE of dribbling is only to CREATE SPACE or CREATE PENETRATION for a PASS or SHOT. That should be the final OBJECTIVE.
Defenders and midfielders caught ball watching too many times. Players seem lethargic other than Welson, BX, Keegan, PC, Shawn and Dansen.
Don't show too much respect to the opponents. They are just another team, just another human, just another face. They are just obstacles for us to overcome, which we will. Remember, if we could maintain possession, the opponent's can't do anything if they don't have the ball.
Don't wait for the ball to come to you! Move towards the ball and move off the line. FUNDAMENTALS!!!
Some would say that this is our first game in the league so some players maybe nervous. Just take it as a training game or a friendly game. Thats all there is to it actually. We know we can play, we need to drill that into ourselves and do it naturally. The league has just started, we have another 15 games to go. Plenty of points up for grabs. Let's put this experience behind us, learn from it and move on. Unleash your potential. Go Wolves!

Match Report by Sebas
Midland Wolves FC vs Rovers
HT: 0-0
FT: 0-1
Cards: Jason (yellow)
Goals: Nil
MOM: PC
1st Half
Formation: 4-5-1
Gk: Gabriel
Def: PC, Alastair, Calvin, Keegan
Mid: Jack, Sebas, Welson, Yu xiang, BX
Fwd: JJ
We won coin toss and Rovers started the match. Wenjie, Shawn and Alvin were playing for Rovers with some familiar faces in there such as Barry King, Ah Boon and Yingjie who came to our training before in 2007. In the first half, we were winning the midfield battle, thus we had slightly better possession. It was still pretty much a chaotic affair in midfield though. The plan was for the wingers to stay wide, pick the ball, move in deep, and free space for the full backs to overlap for the cross. Thru the game we didn't have any decent crosses from open play, the only cross was one where Jason crossed from wide to BX in the box, but he overhit it, so it became a change of play instead. Thru the game we also did not manage to get our passing game going, only in the first 15 mins where we had a good spell of possession. Lack of composure surfaced again.
Throw in from the left, JJ had managed to evade his marker but goalie was out in the time to collect the ball from JJ's feet.
They were playing alot of balls on the ground which we managed to win off them and launch our attacks. Their attacks came mainly on our right side, which the combination of Jack, Calvin and PC managed to deal with well to keep them on the flanks. Rovers hardly had any decent chances in the first half, mainly limited to long speculative shots.We on the other hand came close to scoring 3-4 times. One was a corner from BX that JJ head just above the bar. Another chance fell to YX whose shot was accurate but lack pace that the keeper dealt with comfortably. Welson also had a chance that went just wide of the post. Through the game whenever he was on the ball, BX was marked 3 on 1 and Rovers managed to keep him quiet throughout the game.
Our defense was doing one hell of a job keeping Shawn, Wenjie and their tricky 2 wingers in check. PC in particular performing well again, managing to catch the opponents offsides on numourous occassions despite playing deep. Gabriel was having problems with goalkicks and wasnt able to clear far enough.
2nd half
subs at half time: Jason on for YX, Vincent on for Keegan
further subs in 2nd half: Ray for JJ, Syafiq for Alastair (sebas dropped to defence), Nikorasu for Welson, Yeepoo for Calvin
Rovers started to attack more thru our left, where Vincent was doing well to win the aerial balls but his lack of pace was exposed fully. We had a corner from right wing taken by BX, but alas it was too low and defender cleared the ball, but only back to BX's feet, which he then passed to Jason who in turn lay the ball off for Sebas who took a 1st time shot. It was heading for the right corner only for goalie to save and the follow up shot by Jason was off target. Had the shot been more powerful it might have gone in. Calvin was running out of steam and holes started to appear in defence. Jason was yellow carded for a late tackle on opponent's no 7. Attackwise, our attackers didn't manage to stick to our gameplan and our attack brokedown time and again.
Our opponents had more possession in the second half, and we were defending mostly. Our counter attacks were quite ineffective with BX being marked out. Our only threat came from Jason where he had a shot from the left that whizzed just wide of post. Shawn had an opportunity to score against us when the winger beat our defence to cross, but Shawn's header hit the upright.
There was also an incident where YJ came out to claim a ball but Jason released the ball to the centre just in time. BX was at the right place at the right time with the goal post right open, but his first touch let him down and he lost the opportunity to shoot. In the final 10 minutes, Wenjie managed to beat his marker and got into the box. He fooled Sebas and PC with a quick change of direction and had the time to pick out spot to shoot and beat Gabriel gamely. 1-0.
Final score 1-0.
Points to note.
YX looking listless in left mid for this match.
BX tends to overdribble and even when 3 defenders were surrounding him he kept dribbling. He would do better to make use of the opportunity to release the ball to free teammates.
Sebas was holding the ball for too long at times. problems with communication with team mates lead him to lose his temper for a short while during the first half.
Keegan was being overun at left back as lack of support at times led to him having to mark 2 players sometimes.
JJ was running all over opponents defence hustling everyone who had the ball in opponents defence. great job.
PC performing well again, marshalling the defence well and his smart play being able to catch opponents offside on numerous occasions.
Jack playing a good game in midfield winning balls back for the team.
