Joshua Raj, the pretty boy of the club. The one player who actually cares about how he looks when he plays. Looks are deceiving, however, and this guy is no mean player. Cocky and self-confident, this individualistic player can pull off some stunning plays all by himself, and is well suited to lead. His style of play differs greatly from Aaron’s, as he oozes with exuberance and is always aware of the crowd while playing. Playing in the first two tournaments of the year (Youthwave- Team Exodus[captain], Penang Open Challenge), he scored some good goals, particularly a beautiful solo goal in POC. It all went downhill after that as Alice’s disease passed on to him. Two bike accidents one after another prevented him from playing in Dalat League, and only recently did he come for training again in November, but he has yet to recover to full fitness. Verdict: He did well, especially in POC, but good qualities aside, he needs to learn to be a team player and focus more on training than his ego. Still, his performance alone merits a (6/10)
Play of the year: Performed well in Penang Open Challenge and scored two goals.
Prediction for next season: Stepping up. The club needs leaders, and Joshua has the potential and the quality to go far, but there is always this tiny problem about pride. Conquer that, and add a whole lot of discipline into the bag and nothing would be impossible.
