his history abit hard to beat. somemore his win/lost ratio is way too hard to overwrite haha

I'm not too worried about win/loss ratio actually, because it's very misleading. I probably have the worst win/loss ratio among all NT coaches, but that was mainly because previously most of the tine I would scheduled U21 friendlies against top teams. I also have a habit of dropping players at the end of the season to try out U20 squads after all official matches have finished.

In recent seasons I have started scheduling games against lower tier teams and retained some 21 year old players and my win/loss ratio actually improved. Hahaha. Although scouting still takes up enthusiasm, so there is where we take the hit (sometimes even losing to lower teams). It would be easy to match LDS' win/lose ratio, but there is no merit in trying because it's counterproductive if we look at the larger picture.

But to win one silver trophy and bronze trophy... And the credit for Paul Tan's bronze finish should actually go to him as well, because it was Paul's first season, so the players were mainly developed by Ben... That itself puts him at GOAT status. Hahaha. Especially that silver trophy, I don't even know how he won it (I think I have stopped playing the game by then).

Now I look back, that golden season. I totally forget my ex player LLK was under my care that time. I guess that was the moment that give me motivation to make a great guard for the nation. I still rmb those owner that time NEWBak Ku Teh Kings, Compassvale United.. those guys

It also that period I need to take a break from this game due to my outside life. By the time i came back, Ben and the rest they all stop playing :(

btw. last time you are which team?

My last team wasn't in Singapore, so you probably might not know it. I only got to know Ben because we were both long term U21 managers. We were kinda like allies. I quit the game largely because I felt betrayed with my previous community and lost my motivation to play. After moving here, I decided to play again on a random day and here I am now. Hahaha.

I don't know many managers here. I can just remember Eric, SHP... I don't even remember PhantoMech actually, hahaha.

Haha well I was struggling between SBBL and the lower leagues for many years in the early days, and wasn't among the really active ones in forum I guess. Ben will forever be the legend but SG is lucky to have you join us and I'm glad you are continuing to take the team further.

Hahaha, now you're one of the more active ones here, plus a major contributor to our U21 :D

Anyway, we got kicked out of the Consolation Tournament this morning after being thrashed 61-101 by Turkey U21. With PH being the only Asian country making it to the next round (Argentina U21 is giving our neighbours a beating as we speak), looks like we'll be having the Asia Qualifiers there this year.

This season was really riddled by inconsistencied throughout the whole season, at this point we only have 2 players who have showed up every single game: Poh Sze Jian and Anthony Samuel. Albert Joseph, Kwa Ming, and Leow Heng Dong were close as they missed one game each. The rest missed at least 3 games.

Moving forwards, I'll probably keep the 5 above, including some potential NT players, while dropping the rest so I can start scouting for next season.

let gooo.. hope i have another HOF player to train in future

You've done magic with SG U21, I can't begin to imagine the time effort put into it. Battling motivation to commit long term, during a time where instant action and progression looks to be the norm, is quite rare to came across.

The draft this year looks stacked so far, so I am hopeful we get some superstars for our U21 team this season

Oh this is great to hear! I hope everyone who has empty space gets good prospects! Especially Nickyeo, who has been tanking. Hahaha. He's gonna be the 4th overall pick. Let's hope the bot teams ahead of him don't steal any prospects out of his hands. Hopefully there's also enough 5* potentials that drop onto top teams looking for prospects. I will not be scouting this season as I won't have any place for a new trainee. Maybe next season, if I manage to complete my current project. Hopefully there will be a decent haul then!
