Suggestions for Steve Darby

I sincerely hope that the current Perak football team head coach Steve Darby or Stephen David Darby is reading this post today. A few diehard supporters that I had the opportunity to meet earlier today have the following suggestions for you:

1. Sit down with your team and have a good talk with them especially with those Chilean imports. Discuss what is best for the team. Find out ways to build the team around the new imports. The Chilean imports were supposed to be good and the rest of the players must familiarize themselves with their strengths.
2. Be more adventurous and imaginative with your tactical formations. Look at Azrai Khor, Kedah’s head coach. He is full of tricks and never seems to run out of ideas. You have to be more daring and less persisting. Stubbornness would not benefit the team in the long run.
3. Perak’s defense tends to give away soft goals. You have to drill your defenders, push them hard in training. Perak needs good defenders that can spot and mark threats on the fly.
4. Please ask your goalkeepers to communicate more with the defenders. You were a goalkeeper once in your younger days; you should know that goalkeepers are in command at the back. Tell them to take charge.

I have given you the same suggestions last year but nobody really bothers to listen then. Now, everyone is saying the same thing. :-)
