Team Report

1st half: Second match in season 3, Newton was not concentrate in this X-league due to focusing on the IWL 2013. Trying on all new faces- Viysh, Gautham, Kelvin and reserves Haziq, Hariz Lemons proves to be quite a good side to match-up with. Newtons weren’t the usual side to begin with lots of mistake and did not perform as a team. Bo Yanni quite familiar with the central mid even was off key. Hykal J did not have his partnering was always behind on his actions hence pick up foul. Most of Newtons deployed for NSF and problem for the Xleague as well as for the IWL this season. However the tournament has to go on. Without the normal settings Kumar had to partner with Alfian, Adi, and Hariz in the back fours while Haziq in the left mid and the two new faces up front. Newtons tried to match up their strength when Kumar picked up a yellow for a foul on Satria and from the free kick Haikal V was not alert for the tricky bounced ball and concede 0-1. Through the first half Newton tries to recover from the 0-1 early concede it was not enough. Lemons are a good side with young talents emerging from the sport Satria is one of Newtons on and off player.

2nd half: Second half was the same, Newton was unable to recover from the early goal concede. Whatever tried seems not in their favor on the other hand trying to combine with the new faces. In this sense it is good for Newtons to release that not always thing will go your way and from here on must re-bounce fast. It will have to be the ability of the coach and his team to early spot the problem and make a mend without further a due.

Before even Newton was able to pick up to recover Adi penalized for a foul and concede a free kick. Again Newton suffers another blow from the free kick and concedes the second goal, 0-2. Things went wrong despite effortless attempt to at least get one goal back. Hykal J, Bo Yanni tries to push up to get one goal but the combination from the back and their usual line seems to be frail. The new boy Kelvin however is showing another side of the skills he have. Red and I were quite quick to spot his talent and reminded him to continue with Newtons. His ball winners, pace and agility combine with his attitude of determination to win the ball is a good ingredient to have him for Newtons, another good asset for our X-Cup final.
Bo Yanni managed to get Newtons a goal back to make 1-2 score line, Bo Yanni. Newton did match up with Lemons FC just their finishing touch isn’t there to complete the tie. It was a good experience to learn that there are difficulties Newton may come by in time to come and jus to prepare without fail should Newton encounter the problem again.

Without Fir.ORG, Nazar, Faisal, few more regulars Newton must be prepare what is at hand on the match day. The experience of the coach and his coaching team is vital for the whole team. They must respond to whatever is thrown at the team with instant and quick results.
