REPORT

Another jinx…

Now, how many times have we conceded so far this year a goal in the last minutes ending the game either as a draw or defeat?

If you start counting you will find out that if we had protected our goal in those last minutes we would be standing in the upper half of the League..

The problem is that incites our opponents to attack until the very last seconds knowing they will be given a chance to strike home. It is no longer a jinx… it is a team mental attitude.

The data will show that we had as many chances as our opponents, and we had the guts to come back level in the second half. And then, …

I am afraid this is another game to forget too painful to linger on it.

The only way to survive, because from now on, it has become a live or die situation, is to fight all day long whatever the odds and risks. If we go gown, let us go down fighting and throwing our bodies on our opponents’ paths until the last second and beyond. At least pride will be saved.

If we succeed in turning things around, the fans will at last get their due, faithful as they are!

Another away game against Nagoya Grampus, a team on a winning on Sunday. Time to create the surprise!
