That seems like a very second string side. It's a bit worrying that we've yet to play our starting team or even half a starting team in the pre-season.

Not worried... Under Merrick we had great pre season form... meant nothing.

Disappointing to lose, but in all honesty, how many of the starting XI are going to be in or around the first team this season?

Rossi, Abbas the only certainties, Oli Sail as well, but only by virtue of being the #2 keeper. 

Hoping that the Kiwi boys Ridenton and Rufer are in for game time, make or break season for both if they want to stay at the club long term. All other's in that lineup though are fighting it out to be squad players and backup.

Not long to go now!

Blacktown City knocked over Wellington 2-1 earlier today at Lily's Football Centre.

Wellington probably had at most four regulars in the starting lineup including Ali Abbas at left back who was steady. Wellington basically lacked ideas with the ball and in that respect Blacktown were much better and deserved the result.

Kaludjerovic came on for about the last ten minutes, obviously with most of their regulars playing the result could have been different.

A semi pro team that has beaten an A-league team in competition (FFA Cup), made the quarter finals of the FFA cup twice and are currently second in NSW Premier League, they won that league last season. Yes they are semi pro but they aren't a bad semi pro team playing against our team that wasn't made up of starters and at the start of our season compared to them being at the end of theirs.

I'm an optimistic pessimist. 
I'm positive things will go wrong.

Apparently it was their second team as well.

Still a disappointing result however it is diced. Also have to question why we are starting so many second stringers a month out from the start of the season

Because it was the game in the tour specifically designed to give these guys some game time?

We can't seriously expect the actual starting line-up to start three pre-season games in the space of a week.

The CCM & Jets games, no. Maybe Patrick can test out the Stadiums new wifi for a dodgy stream for the TeeDubs game?

Nope, and the FFA has prevented clubs from streaming them.

It works for me, but it's a rubbish feed off a cell phone and you can't really see much. Still, better than nothing.

Clearly the Coasties peaked too early tonight. Sack Okon.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Pre-season hasn't really been too encouraging; but it seems like he's trying out a few combinations. Anyone at the game who can tell us how we actually went? At least Appiah didn't score I guess.
