Floundering

I was overseas for a week and could not arrange my team lineups for 4 matches. I got these results:

Lose 2-3
Draw 0-0
Win 5-2
Draw 0-0

I am now floundering in 9th place, precariously just 3 points ahead of the relegation zone. With half of the season gone, I have collected a paltry 22 point total. If I repeat this form it would result in a point total 6 lower than the season before, and equal to my first foray into Div G.

My target is to better the 50 points I garnered the previous season, and to finish in better than 8th position. Specifically, I would be happy with a 6th spot. Derveld is a good scorer, so is Franko. I aim to sack Dominic Olfers, sell Ridwan Kim Wee, and see what happens. I need to trim my inflated squad.

It's been some time since I talked about Singapore football. The WC qualifiers are coming again the coming month. I wish the Lions all the best to finish in the top 2 of the group, possibly ousting WC regulars Saudi Arabia. And there is a new talent I see in the newspapers, a 17-year-old called Afiq. I hope you will be a fantastic local talent, to boost the local scene, and balance the equation of foreign and local talents. That would be beneficial, with Hariss Harun already blossoming to a regular.

Duric is ageing, and within 2 years we will need a striker. By then, Indra and Noh Alam Shah will be about 30, so youth must rise! That's the goal!
