Probably at the start of the season, we didn’t see him in that role. There’s two types of When leading at half 2-1-1 0-0-0 2-1-1 leaders: There’s a leader that barks and shouts, When tied at half 2-3-1 0-3-2 2-6-3 When trailing at half 1-3-1 0-10-0 1-13-1 and there’s a leader that leads by example. He’s the second one, that leads by example. For me, With 0 goals scored 0-4-0 0-8-1 0-12-1 Shandon can possibly be one of the best players With 1 goal scored 0-3-2 0-3-1 0-6-3 we have this season. We’re just trying to get that With 2 goals scored 2-0-0 0-1-0 2-1-0 With 3 goals scored 3-0-0 0-1-0 3-1-0 end product happening for him. With Ray Saari With 4+ goals scored 0-0-1 0-0-0 0-0-1 leaving, and Sam Rogers stepping up to be the full- time captain, and he’s still coming back from injury Conceding 0 goals 1-0-0 0-0-1 1-0-1 and not ready to play 90 minutes. Shandon has Conceding 1 goal 2-3-2 0-2-1 2-5-3 Conceding 2 goals 2-3-0 0-2-0 2-5-0 taken over that role and he’s done a good job. The Conceding 3 goals 0-1-0 0-4-0 0-5-0 boys like him. He works hard. He’s changed his Conceding 4+ goals 0-0-1 0-5-0 0-5-1 attitude and mentality to where we want him to be.” Sunday 1-2-1 0-2-0 1-4-1 Monday 0-0-0 0-0-0 0-0-0 Tuesday 0-0-0 0-0-0 0-0-0 Wednesday 0-2-2 0-0-0 0-2-2 Thursday 1-1-0 0-0-0 1-1-0 Friday 1-0-0 0-1-0 1-1-0 Saturday 2-2-0 0-10-2 2-12-2 March 1-1-0 0-1-0 1-2-0 April 1-1-0 0-1-1 1-2-1 May 0-2-0 0-0-1 0-2-1 June 1-0-0 0-2-0 1-2-0 July 1-2-0 0-3-0 1-5-0 August 1-0-1 0-3-0 1-3-1 September 0-1-2 0-3-0 0-4-2 October 0-0-0 0-0-0 0-0-0 PRONUNCIATION GUIDE No.
