S75...First Week Round Up (22/05/2011 09:14)

 9 rounds had been played for the first week of Season 75. Surprisingly I found myself on the upper half of the league table, OMG!

The team started brightly but the form faded away towards the end of the week, can Graveyard Shifters continue to make a surprising run in the Div 2?????

End of the week, Graveyard Shifters was fifth in the table with a credible 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loses. Seems to me the veterans i purchased at the beginning of the season is proving their worth!

First Week Summary

Rnd 1 - It was a tense game against the WhiteWolf for the first match in Div 2, having lost both home and away matches against the Wolves in my first run in Div 2. Four players made their debut for Graveyard Shifters. Keeper Knudsen made a poor start , conceding 2 goals with a performance of 39. Midfielder Huselkepp and defender Al-Sha'rani performed decently well on their debut respectively. The game ended in a 2-2 draw thanks to goals from debutant striker Raul Quesada and substitute Indra. Top scorer of last season Hyori, ended the match with a disappointing performance.

Rnd 2 - Next was my first home game against Team AMK. Knudsen redeem himself from his poor debut game, earning himself a clean sheet and a performance of 69. Quesada and substitute Hyori was rather tame in their shooting in this game, however Indra who earned himself a place in the starting eleven after his goal in the last match helped himself to a splendid hat trick, looks like he is sealing his spot in the first eleven this season!

Rnd 3 and 4 - The next 2 away games saw Kundsen and Huselkepp stepping up their game with Chiam and Malek providing some nice assists from the flank which create 2 goals for Indra in each game and 1 goal from Quesada.

Rnd 5 - This round saw the slip in form from Graveyard Shifters with a disappointing home lost against Brandon United. Indra, Al-Sha'rani and Aide was not in their best game. The match was lost by a missed penalty by Quesada who has been dismal in his penalty taking so far.

Rnd 6 - This match was against table topper SnareLK FC. SnareLK was in every compartment better than Graveyard Shifters and this draw was a marvelous result in my opinion. I have absolutely zero shots on goals despite playing a defensive 4-3-3 LOL! However, Kundsen, Al-Sha'rani, Indra, Malek and Barth performed wonderfully marshalled by MOM Huselkepp kept SnareLK at bay. OMG Kundsen is turning out to be a bargin buy for just 4.5mil.

Rnd 7,8 and 9 - The last 3 matches all saw average performances from the team which saw a lucky Quesada goal earning the win against Athletic and 2 lucky penalties by Indra earning the win against Retro.
