Went to watch SO vs NCR on the weekend. SO are in for a very, very long season. Score line flattered them in the end as Napier missed a penalty and another half a dozen decent chances.
SO struggled to have any decent possession and when they did they lost it far too easily, also very poorly disciplined and will struggle once they lose players to red cards and injuries as there didn't seem to be much depth off their bench. The two English lads Cunniff and Gaul pretty much spent the whole game gobbing off to the opposition, they'd be handy players if they could keep their mouths shut.
NCR looked decent but nothing spectacular, definitely showed their experience at this level though.

Why am I not surprised by Stop Out? Are lucky to be in Central League....Cap Prem was actually won on the field by Island Bay if you disregard the points reallocation for the Nix playing underage players. Would not have thought so looking at the posts on their social media! Passion will only take you so far at this level and they make the same mistake every year of paying ageing mercenaries instead of paying decent coaches to really develop their younger players....really shortsighted!
