action filled weekend

2 matches in 2 days.. in normal circumstances in the previous div 1 seasons i'll be shagged out like mad playing the whole game.. probably with only 9 man. so there was the game against hollandse club on sat and src on sunday.

the hollandse club game was good.. we played our best game so far losing 3-2 to a good squad.. despite trailing 3-1 at the first half.. i knew it would b a tough comeback after letting in an easy goal at the first 2 min.. they were experienced and gelled as a team. as for me.. i think i only played for 20 min.. earned a couple of short corners but nva realli got into the D.. can u believe as a striker i haven got a single shot on target for 4 games? i'm just not confident with my dribbling these days.. porbably due to the bandage i put on the stick.. minimal grip so it tends to slip. but wat's more impt is i lost my sharpness as a forward that i use to have during my last season before enlisting. we played well in the second half.. getting hold of the game but too bad i was on the bench the whole of the 2nd half.. we have new forwards in daniel, jeremy, wee chin.. i guess my spot is greatly threatened by them. but to their credit they did perform much better than me.. if i was in the game probably we won't even score that last goal.

sunday's src game was face paced.. we grabbed the lead thru a good short corner set piece which danker scored.. followed by taswinder's field goal. again, i got some short corners but nva realli threatened.. i got brought out twice by kevin and he spoke to me.. no doubt i was demoralised. midway thru the 2nd half, i went in as left back.. though its a long time playing at the back but i think at my current form, playing back suits me better. i made a few good challenges and clearances and tats it.. out of it one sliding tackle.. man tat felt good. we could have killed the game.. but duncan gave away a goal by passing a weak ball for the src forward to capitalise. anyway, hard earned victory for us but tat put us in the contention for the semi final slot.. and i really want to win this yr.. though we have tough teams like hollandse and csc.

as for me, i'll just continue training hard.. working on my ball skills and my sprinting. i'll be doing 100m shuttle runs.. and hopefully slowly improve and peak by the semis.. i've got slightly less than a month to do that. i'll earn my spot back.
