Plenty of work ahead, warns Jiahui

Team Prodigy have always begun the previous seasons well, but after four games in the current Division 4 season, they are currently bottom of the table after two consecutive losses. Much has been said about the high standard of the division but keeper Jiahui believes every player has to start to step up their games to grind out results if they are to achieve their aim of promotion again.

He said: "There will be numerous games where it will be tough and it is about trying to get a result, grinding out results whichever way we can. The most important thing is you get a result. Now that the season is already 4-6 games old, we have no more excuses for feeling lethargic and we really need to play better and defend better if we are to stand any chance of challanging the top 3. "

When asked about the leaky defence which concedes 12 goals in 4 games, Jiahui feels that the absence of Wilson who was rock for Prodigy last season is a crucial factor. He quipped: " Wilson is a big loss for us and this season, with Yiarn injured and Chingweng reverting to part time soccer, we have a shortage of central defenders, thus our defence is currently very unstable."

When prodded if there is any chance of Prodigy being relegated, Jiahui cautioned: " We are bottom of the league now, if we do not start to pick up more points, the possibility will increase every week."

"The only agenda for everybody now is to push through to the end of the season, whether that's trying to get away from the relegation area or pushing for a play-off place or a top-two place."

"Everybody will be very focused on what they want."

The work begins this Sunday against the Singapore Chinese FC.
