To me it is just one player short for selection only."Fedrick (Fadzly Gusmia) who replaced Hamran during the match against Misc-Mifa will take over his spot."He did very well when coming on and managed to score in our 2-0 victory. Actually he is our top choice if the seniors are not available," said Johnny on Wednesday.According to him, the other four senior players namely Mohd Sakri Masri, Mohd Aidil Safee, Evan Wensley Wenceslaus and Stanley Sulong will start the match.

"We are now focusing one match at a time. The wins in our first three matches was beyond our expectation as we only targeted seven points at the start."Our current position at the top will also draw the attention of all other teams who will try their very best to beat us, but we are ready.'
