how much do YOU want it?

Hi guys,

I believe most of you still feel that you all should have WON yesterday's game against SIM. I leave you guys with some points to reflect with regards to you game play.

You all have played 7 games in Div 2 thus far. Why is it you guys have to always be on your toes (save the MS Victoria game) every game? Worrying about conceding that equaliser against your opponents who are tactically weaker (I dare say we have the best coach who plays the most effective system in Div 2), less fit, have lousier stickwork than us?

Is it because you guys are too rigid? Such that when Howchong changes a playup, you all could not adapt to what he advocates on match day? (Like how the defenders should stand next to each other yesterday for your playup)
Is it because you guys feel that referee decisions are always against you? (like the final goal conceded yesterday) But even if it were so, if you all had the 2-goal lead against SIM, would the "illegal" last goal have mattered?
Is it because you guys lack the tenacity? We told you guys before the season started that Div 2 is a very physical league. Pushing, shoving, dirty tactics, everything you cant think of exist here, and we only have 2 referees looking at 12 players on the court! How do you guys want to survive in a harsh environment like that? Complain? Cry? Fight? Swing a stick into the opponents face? Slapshot into goal?

Remember when you guys just came in one year ago. When we had the seniors vs juniors challenge? Remember how fearlessly you guys went for every ball? How hard you guys chased for every ball? How quickly you all breathed down the seniors "neck" once we have the ball?
You guys were frustrating the seniors who had 3 to 4 years more experience than you all! There were no signs of slowing down and complacency in your game at all.

Are you guys able to get that back?

Where do you guys want to end up in Div 2?
1st? 2nd? Or 3rd, with same points as the 2nd place team but losing on goal difference of 1 goal?

Howchong still believes in you all. I still do. Even Alvin still does.
Do you all have the same believe as us? Do you all believe you all can beat the remaining teams on your fixture list and pick up whatever points left in the league?

Raise your level of game, want it, enjoy it and be fearless again!
