Team Report

1st half Score: 2 - 1
Unknown to us Basah Loh Na wearing FCB jerseys, mostly they are seniors ranging age late 20s and early 30s, couple of above 40s. We have Don Ranil in goal, Adi and Alfian sitting-in centre back in place for Harith and Kumar out this week, Syahdirwan left and Amirul right.

Edgy it looks Amirul very stress at the speed produce from the left wings forcing Amirul unstable to handle his position sign of weakness observed by our opponent. Early goal conceded in the 4th minutes strong approach from Basah Loh Na earn them 1-0 in the 4th minutes. Howl at Amirul to stay calm do not commit he did not recover continue unsteadiness in the 13th minutes Amirul the first to pick-up yellow card. Without Harith and Kumar Newton looks fragile, shaky in the back fours. The experience riddles from Basah Loh Na demonstrates command cuts open the fragile defense of Newton Heath. Without the natural centre back Kumar and Harith to command the back fours, Adi, Alfian and Syahdirwan did well to push up and not dropping deep. In the 20th minutes Newton responded when Alfian recovers possession just outside the box to lob long pass for Idzhar dashing runs on the right wings cut into the box strike for goal to level the score 1-1 in the 20th minutes, Idzhar.
Don picked up yellow in the 24th minutes (Don) to concede penalty and to save the penalty and deny the goal- it was a momentous crucial performance from him to keep Newton level.

Continued pressure from the left wings on Amirul compelled him to commit his actions, only to dodged him from the outside wings cut into the box drove with outside foot Newton concede the second goal in 26th minutes 2-1 in the 26th minutes. Substitute new boy M-Harith for Amirul in the 26th minutes still rocky probably his first time playing the big match.

Bo and Ojib intensely trying to control stopping the wave of marching attacks from Basah Loh Na rhymes at every reach, interceptions of every balls they wins. The strong, stern, aggressive approach they generate combine with the manipulative mind game seems had the referee undermined on decisions making. Unfair it seems Newton's must play by the whistle learn from it and try to turn the match around.

Mounting pressure creeps in Alfian in the 36th minutes picked up yellow to make it three in the first half. The power and strength exhaust Newtons to its miserable core good for Newtons to size up their levels.

2nd half Score: 3- 1
At the break- to control and contain every move from the midfields, Bo and Ojib did their best still Basah Loh Na continue to ‘first win the ball’, overturn Newtons ball possession immediately. Even when Newtons are creating chances to take advantage in an attempt to get goal, the mind game overcomes the referee’s decision in the 10th minutes to award foul on Bo. He dashes the ball into Basah Loh Na’s penalty box accidentally hand ball ‘ball to hand’. Discipline, Persistent, first to win the ball, aggressive body charge, and able to take charge over the whole game consisting of the mind game are the keys to the plan.

New boy Aman and Didi in this second half line-up, cover and control the defense well enough. Until the 16th minutes Aman’s defend was penalized for a foul even though his safe tackle on Basah Loh Na’s player and the player ended up sitting on top of the ball. Yet Basah Loh Na awarded penalty to take the lead 3-1 (P) in the 16th minutes.

Norizwan was not in the game at all ‘J’ walking most of the time when defending, Bo and Ojib lost of ideas on how to turn round the game and regain advantage to dish out supports to attacking players.

Thinking back while writing this assay, I should have form a (4:3:3) formation to strengthen the midfields as three stoppers on defensive, while on countering as sub-playmakers as distributors role when we are on an attacking positions. I believe three midfields Ojib, Adi, Bo would be strong enough to stop and counter on the attack for the three strikers Idzhar, Azrin, Norizwan, and generate the supporting moves at the same time as one attacking units. I have demonstrated for the past two games even though Newtons are struggling getting enough players to start up on every match. The three midfields possess power over controlling and containing the midfields area, when in counter quick to respond on attacking strike. This will allow instant maneuver to channel distributions to the three strikers when the two wingers opens wide from their assisting defense to create passing channels for the attacks.

Syahdirwan for Azrin on the 25th minutes and push Norizwan up in striker and Syahdirwan left wings. Underestimate the strength Newton must learn from this match experience to improve and better equip in the future matches. Alfian and Don were great combined MOM!
