The recently concluded Sultan Aslan Shah tournament in Malaysia, a dress rehearsal just before Olympics, is anything to go by, our chances to come on top would take a miracle to make it.  With titanic struggle against giants ahead, coach Michael Nobbs has a few loose ends to tie up.  The team lacks consistency on the evidence of several  competitions  earlier where they showed  pronounced weakness.  Interestingly sometimes they fire on all cylinders and at other times can’t even start the engine.  While other teams are able to convert half chances into goal, we miss even open chances.  The forward line has to show more aggressiveness  to score  field goals rather than penalty cormer hits.  It would sharpen their skill in this area which right now leaves much to be desired.   Skill apart, the coach need to put in more science into the game, a vital ingriendient  of today’s sports.  Above all, be sure you are sending players  only those who are mentally and physically in good shape.  Since Sultan Aslan Shah tourmament has given us a fair foretaste of the strenth and weakness of the team,  the coach has to do his own homework and overhaul the team  so that the players would be battle-fit.   Let’s remember he’s a bad workman who blames his tools.
