REPORT

A page is being turned…

This game was the last straw and a general manager to be replaced by caretaker in the person of Coach Hiroaki Hiraoka who already saved us from a similar situation last season.

As for the game, the sooner we forget it the better.

It started badly enough with a blunder in the 7th minute soon followed by an own goal in the 12th minute. In the 24th minute the game was well and truly finished with the third conceded goal. To think we beat the same team at home by the same score…

After that it was a just painful collective debacle. Right, let us turn to the next games, the ones that will define the future not only of the club but also that of many players.

We have 4 games left to play, 3 of them at home. Two wins should be enough to save our necks. Simple enough equation.

Will we as a club, players, staff and manage to show our true potential?

Let us hope so!
