The last time we faced Tanjong Pagar, we were a little lucky that Sugic missed a penalty when the score was 1-0 to us. That was in the 67th minute and came as a result of a sloppy 15, 20 minutes of play in the second half. We managed to win the game 3-1 in […]

The following tactical analysis is from Zach Wu, who’s not a Sailors fan, but we just thought it would be good for someone without rose-tinted glasses to analyse the tactics of our games. We hope to make this a regular column so that we can better appreciate what is going on in our games from

All season long, we’ve been asking for a solid defensive performance, and more control in our games, and that is exactly what we got on Sunday night. It was a long day for some of us in the Crew because we had to get up bright and early at 7am to go down to Mattar

The last time we faced Hougang United, it was a predictable walk in the park. It was Kristian Krajcek’s first game back after an injury lay-off and he looked very rusty, Shahdan Sulaiman was injured, Brian Ferreira was playing, Irwan Shah was not playing in midfield, and the coach was Firdaus Kassim, who was enduring

The first thing I’ll say is that this was a bolt from the blue. COME ON YOU BOYS IN BLUE! I apologise, that was a reflex, an involuntary reaction once I heard “blue”. That chant came from nowhere – and that’s exactly how all the fans felt yesterday I suppose. We were just minding our

In this Father’s Day Special, SailorFanTalk sits down with Lincoln Mao, the father of Nathan Mao, the Sailors Academy player who became Singapore Premier League’s youngest ever debutant at 15 years and 5 days old earlier this year. At a time when parents would usually argue about whether their child’s first word was “mama” or

Two 1-1 draws in a row against Young Lions. That was the record we had going into this game. Completely unacceptable for a club of our stature, no matter how well the Young Lions played, especially if you take into account the constraints they have. I had an interesting discussion with someone in our SFT

This picture accurately describes what it felt like for the fans the last time we faced Young Lions. We were in control, winning the game, and then suddenly, we fell off the horse, conceded a controversial penalty, and ended up dropping two very valuable points. No matter how you look at it, those two points

In the last post-match thoughts, I complained about how there was chaos, and our defence looked so fragile. Well Wednesday’s night game surely saw a huge improvement in that regard. It must be said that some of the shots stats may be inflated by the fact that Tampines had to play half an hour with
