![]() I try to find the best staff I can to fill the holes in my backroom. Especially this low down the leagues, in a more obscure footballing nation such as Singapore. That’s my general approach to training, it’s not ‘set and forget’ and it’s not on auto-pilot where my assistant is setting all my sessions. Each week focused on the struggles of the previous week. Next in my list of scoring tips, I dove headlong into the daily training sessions. Hazzuwan Halim was well-suited to the Advanced Playmaker (AP) role because the best player in my squad over the next couple of seasons. Also adding a striker with better finishing helps in this case. Even if it ends up being only 8 out of 20. The more opportunities I could create for my forward, the more he will take those chances. The Shadow Striker will take many attacks on himself, and I wanted the attacking midfielder to create more than be the focal point of the attack. I think in the end, the AP was more suited to what I was going for. Secondly, in my scoring tips, I was flip-flopping between a Shadow Striker and an Advanced Playmaker behind the centre forward. I rotated fairly often between them for the rest of the season. But it was going to be a while before he put in consistent performances. That came in 18-year old Sergi Balaguer, a Spanish striker with much better finishing than Raffi. Faizal Raffi was our main forward, but he needed backup. I first looked at the striking options and we were definitely short upfront. I needed to switch things up and potentially even bring in some new recruits. Also, some of these partnerships had produced poor performances over a number of matches. ![]() It really didn’t look that bad at first, but the problems I was seeing were that we were having lots of shots but very few shots on target. Seemingly, when we scored a few we also conceded even more, so the balance was off. Throughout the season I was not only concerned with the offence but also the defence. We were sitting at rock bottom of the league and things looked bleak. Or getting a late consolation goal after going 2-0 down. This was followed by another barren spell. You can see we started off pretty lifeless, then we’d have some matches where we’d light up the scoreboard, despite shipping a bunch of goals as well. For me, I was playing a 4-2-3-1, and looking at that you must be thinking, surely they can get a goal. Many managers play in many different ways, and there is always a way that a team can score no matter the formation. ![]() Starting off we’re going to take a look at your tactics.
