X-S FC slumped to their 2nd consecutive defeats after being hammered 4-1 by a team called Gremlins. In a match where the X-S team should have won, complacency and lack of organizing at the back cost them dearly.

However, X-S managed to put up a magnificant display during the first half, controlling every aspect of the game during the first 45 mins (or 31 mins). Jasdeep was putting up a man of the match display, winning every tackle and controlling the middle of the park while captain Yasin was playing with fire in his belly. The deadlock was broken when Shahrul scrambled in the goal after a flick on by Nuri from a Boon Leng's corner.

But 2nd half was a disaster for the team. With a makeshift back four, X-S crumbled against a rejuvenated Gremlins. The first goal, a mistake by both Nizar and Amin, gifted the opponent their first goal. Ali's own goal made it 2-0, a delicate chip above his own keeper. X-S now was playing gung-ho style, pushing men forward to get that elusive equalizer, leaving a gaping hole in defence. The opponents exploited this weakness and soon it was 3-1. The last goal was scored amidst the barrage of shots made by X-S FC in the opponents half, and that signalled the end of a game X-S could have won with ease.

Speaking to the media after the match, Captain Mamad Yaz made it clear that rookie Ali would not be permanently signed by the team, unless he shows his credentials in the upcoming matches. With this heavy defeat as well, manager Yazid was sacked and will be replaced by Woo Wee Meng who vowed to bring the team back to its winning ways. Players were dejected after the defeat, but as Jasdeep puts it, "The team needs a fixed formation." So there'll be no more makeshift strikers(damnit) and everybody will have to play his own position.

Man of the match -- Jasdeep Singh. The singh was on fire..well at least for the first half

Moan of the match -- the idiotic leftback who pulled Nuri's jersey for no apparent reason

Injury Crisis -- Daniel might be ruled out for at least 3 weeks due to a strained hamstring. Best wishes for him

New players scouted -- Kim from AJC. Adding width to e team. we might need him in the future.

Till then..so long..and do not wank before a match. u'll play like shit..trust me..
