Argh so much fucking angst here and on facebook calling for Hudson to be out and that were shit. A draw with China is a really good result with such a young squad considering it was only Hudson's second game in charge and we were missing some key players. I actually picked that we would draw with China and lose to Thailand. Despite their ranking Thailand can be a very good team at times. We looked really good in the first 20 minutes and were absolutely dominating them but our downfall was we failed to take our chances early and (18yo Wynne) let them score then we had a goal disallowed. If those things didn't happen it would have been a completely different story.
I for one have been impressed by Hudson and this young squad passion and understand that we might not win all our friendlies since we are preparing for a tournament in october 2015 not a tournament in 4 days time like Thailand.
(Btw we lost to Thailand 3-1 with Ricki in charge in 2009 and qualified for the world Cup 6 months later.)
