REPORT
S-Pulse received a lesson in what their own Manager Lotina is trying to teach them! A couple of shots on target giving them a couple of goals and a defense who never let them free to do what they were supposed to do.
This is only the 8th game of a long season, but I’m afraid we have already reached the limit of what we could concede through learning a new system, strategy and way of thinking. The players are simply not putting up to par performances.It is the more frustrating that they have the potential and talent to do far better things! Like last year and even the years before why do they perform better away from their bas than at home? The fans deserve better!
Let us hope that the next game away at Kobe will see a new start, otherwise we will definitely be in for a long grueling season!
