Review for week 18 : Victory was so near...how did we miss it???!!$%^

Hi,

We were so close to end our sequence of defeats..but we choked yet again not once but twice this week. The first game against Vinayaka, we put up a great performance & completely outplayed them...and were leading 1-0 for most of the game..but a lucky last minute goal by them saw the victory turning into a draw. Das scored a fantastic goal from a long range & we had more than one chance to double that lead but missed those chance yet again.

Man of the Match - Das

Second game was against NITTE, performace here was completely opposite to the one against Vinayaka..though we had alsmost 70-80% of ball possession we scored just once but they scored whenever they got the ball forward..to be precise twice in the whole match & they won 2-1. Vasu scored the goal for us & looked very good throughout the match but he wasn't able to deliver the last pass..same was the case with me, Nani & Das for most of the match. Defense was really good & had one of the best games. Our Goalee Mahesh strangely pulls off some of the most difficult saves..but makes mistakes when it looks fairly easy..he needs to work a bit more on his goalkeeping & support the team better.

Man of the Match - Vasu

Review for week 17 : Great performance cannot prevent defeat

Hi,

After last weeks poor show..we were good .. really good actually but could not capitalise on the lead we had.. We lost the game in the closing moments of first half when we gave away 2 very silly goals. Das opened the scoring for us with a well taken penalty after we dominated the early parts of the game.. Harish & Darshan for the first time looked good & every other player showed greater commitment than usual but Shashi was the standout performer in the game..

The frustration in the opposite team clearly shows that we had a good game...lets hope we continue with this form in the coming weeks

Man of the Match - Shashi

My Captaincy & Our form this season

I take the complete blame for our poor form this season..I havent been able to sustain the good work done by Swamy & Chandru. We had a small discussion after Sunday's match & we were thinking about changing the captaincy..As I have been not able to perform as expected I am offering to resign as captain & player but will continue to support the team. There are many senior players like Hemanth, Windoor, Sunil, Vasu, Srinidhi who can takeover from me.

So for better results i would suggest all of u to decide on your next captain rather than a single person deciding it..so its upto you guys now to take HOYSALA FC forward.

ALL THE BEST

Review for Week 16 : 3 more defeats this week makes it 9 in row

Hi,

I am sorry i couldnt inform most of the team members about the sunday morning match as we got the confirmation pretty late in the night & the match was to start at 6.30 am.

We lost three matches this week..2 against Vinayaka(0-5 & 0-4) & 1 against NITTE (3-4) college team..

There is nothing much to write about the matches against vinayaka..as it was the usual thing a good 1st half where we missed half dozen chances & defended pretty well & followed by a pathetic 2nd half where we allowed them to have a feast.

But our performance against NITTE was the worse..an easy team compared to Vinayaka or BU..we had a golden opportunity to register a win, but with over confidence & some poor football
we managed to win ourselves one more defeat to make it nine in a row..

Man of the match vs Vinayaka (SAT) - None
Man of the match vs Vinayaka (SUN) - Girish/Biddappa
Man of the match vs NITTE (SAT) - NITTE

Review for Week 15 : Dissapointing end to a Great game

Hi,

We played one of the best games in a long time but disappointingly we allowed vinayaka to score in the final moments of the game to register 6th consecutive loss..

Girish & Dhruva were instrumental for our performance..both showed great commitment & never allowed vinayaka to settle down..they were ably supported by the defenders led by swamy. We had couple of easy chances & a penalty as well which we didnt take & in the end it cost us the match which we deserved

Man of the match - Girish & Dhruva
