Review for Week 27 : Hurray!!! A Win Atlast


Vs Young Boys
Won 10-6

Hi,

A victory atlast!!

A good performance against a Young Boys saw Hoysala's register there first win after 5 months..
A poor start saw Hoysalas conceding 4 goals in the first half but picked themselves up in the second half thru goals from Srinidhi (3), Biddu (3), Narayan (2), Vasu (1) & Raja (1).

Defence was pretty poor in the early part of the game with defenders swamy & karthik & Goalee Raja responsible for the goals conceded in the first half..but Swamy kept well when he was substitued a sgoalee & Karthik stood out in the second half. Shashi, Das, Vasu & Narayan played some beautiful football which consistently put pressure on the opposition defence. Both Srinidhi & Biddu looked out of sorts but scored a hatrick each.

Dasara has really has been lucky for us..lets hope we start winning from here..though the real test is against Vinayaka & some other better teams..for the moment though lets enjoy this win.

Man of the Match - Narayan/Vasu

I wish Narayan a "HAPPY MARRIED LIFE" on behalf of Hoysala's..

Review for Week 26 : Same old story continues


Vs Vinayaka
Lost 1-3

Hi,

Our problems are as old as hills & we havent yet found the solution..we have been playing pretty good football for the last four weeks & yet havent able to win or draw a game..

A different & new attacking statergy in this match almost worked..with six players in attacking positions..we had the game under control & took the lead early in the first half with some good passing & some cool finishing by Raja.. We had 3 more straight forward chances & we didnt take them. As in most of the matches this season when we looked set to win we gave away a rather easy goal & they followed it up with two more, all 3 goals were scored in the last 15 minutes.

The intent is there but we seem to be going somewhere wrong in the execution
i think its getting little bit frustrating..

for the record
Last time we won was on 27th May 2007 against BU
From 27th May Onwards we have played 22 games lost 21 & 1 Draw
Out of 33 matches this season we have won 3, 4 draw & lost 26
We have scored 39 goals & conceded 92 goals

Hope this Dasara or Deepavali or atleast Christmas brings us some luck..if not no need to worry Sankranthi will follow soon.
I promise a big party to all the members on the day we win.

Man of the Match - Raja

Review by Srinidhi

Hi,

Hoysala’s are now starting to find their old form once they were known for, this week was clear witness of that, although Vinayaka FC emerged as late winners, were far from threatening to the young hoysalas.

Hoysalas started the game in absence of several key players, the young hoysalas were totally in control of the game right from the start of the match, swamy took the initiative in absence of the skipper windoor to lead the side, although he was back from the “back injury” which ruined the most part of the on-going season started brilliantly at the back commanding the team right from the start, in absence of windoor (right back) chandru took over the position and played brilliantly, at other end left back jagga also had an outstanding game keeping the opposition open play alt many times, as defense chipped in with great performance, defensive mid fielders also had an excellent game by protecting the defense on many occasions, in absence of girish, abhi chipped in with some useful contribution to the team providing assists to forwards as wells as timed tackles to protect defense, the versatile player madan joined the arms with abhi in defensive mid playing one of the game of his life in his hoysalas football career, he was very instrumental in protecting the left side of the defense, where he developed a very good understanding with jagga to keep opposition at bay, our both playmakers Das & Vas also played vital role in building the attack on the other end providing the much needed assists to lone forward srinidhi(so called fox in the box – Just kidding), the best chance of the match came in the second half when das combined with the abhi to play beautiful one touch football which over came oppositions defense, but virtually ending with another ruined chance where Vincent the opposition defender came in to rescue for the hosts, as the game went on Das had one more chance on the target but this time it was denied by the goalie moni. Even oppositions tried lot of options up front to find a goal but were denied by the much organized defense & Mahesh (goalie) in particular, as game was heading to a tame draw, the stand in skipper swamy fumbled at his own half which gave the much needed break to vinayaka as they capitalized to find the net this time with smart finishing from vinayaka’s player (Name not known). Although the draw was a fair result for young hoysalas, they lost the game in the dying minutes yet again. Anyway the results will not make much difference to this side at present; the hoysalas are now finding the touch they had lost, I think we are a real deal in upcoming matches, vinayaka FC will be very eager to beat this young hoysalas.


Man of the Match - Mahesh/Madan
