Sarawak 1997 Ratings
With Australian Alastair Edwards and Samsurin Abdul Rahman in attack, coach Alan Vest should be satisfied. Vest has also strengthened the midfield with Englishman Billy Bone. The towering David Evans has proven to be reliable in defence. Vest will be looking for consistency in the team to land a silverware.
(Star Sports)
The nearly-there team for the last few seasons. After the FA Cup triumph in 1992, Sarawak have always threathened to achieve something but have never done so. Manager Alan Vest has often said his side consists of a bunch of average players and the question that needs to be answered is whether they can lift themselves to a higher pedestal this season.
(Mervyn Tajem)
I love to see them win something this year. A reward for all the good work which coach Alan Vest has done with them. Having Alistair Edwards as their goal hunter, they may have their best chance yet. English midfielder Billy Bone also looks an exciting prospect for a team who have a reputation for starting strongly, only to fumble at the final hurdle. Very aggressive side and like their East Malaysian neighbours, lighting fast on the break. They thrive on a reliable defence and in Mazlan Wahed, have someone gifted enough enough to challenged Khariul Azman as the country's best goalkeeper. But the team still seem to lack big-match temperament needed to be a championship winning outfit. I hope it will be different for them this year.
