Boon Lay - Ahead of Saturday's match at Marsiling Secondary where Myjia threw away a two goal lead to finish two apiece, manager Vincent Low has moved to sign an Malaysian teenage striker Edwin Goh on a free transfer.
Following news that Chia Junhao, Ryan and Zhiwei have all been called up for national duty, Vincent will view this signing as a coup and also with the long term strike partnership in mind.
Myjia's strikeforce has also been severely depleted with news that Delvin Ng will be unavailable for at least a month with torn ankle ligaments. The unlucky striker will hope for a similarly fast recovery to get back on the field after overcoming an ACL last season. In addition, veteran striker Eric Low could miss Saturday's game owing to family commitments and that leaves the frontline bare with only Ronnie Low as a recognised striker. On a slightly more positive note though, winger Jackson Seetoh should make his return after missing the previous two games. Jackson who can operate as a striker, though it is not his natural position, will be much needed to add more firepower to the attack.
Meanwhile, Vincent Low has expressed his delight at the enthusiasm and commitment shown by Edwin who showed much desire to play for Myjia. "At the moment, Edwin's fitness level is not too ideal. Although he will likely make his debut this Saturday, the fans should not expect him to deliver immediately," cautioned Vincent. Wise words especially considering that the striker is merely approaching 20.
Midfielder Leong Wai Meng will be hoping to add to his tally after scoring in consecutive games since coming back from his stint at Toronto FC. His last goal against FC Chinese Boys was a precise freekick past the outstretched arms of the keeper. Junhao then increased Myjia's lead with his own version of a freekick which thundered past the keeper.
Myjia held a two goal advantage at halftime in that last game at Marsiling Secondary but succumbed to finish the game 2-2. Come this Saturday with a similarly depleted squad, Myjia will be hoping to finish in a better shape and end a run which has only garnered one win in nine games.
