I'd think seriously about subbing Devlin early. Second yellow card waiting to happen 2nd half.

Early yellow for Devlin is dangerous.

Yeah especially in the wet where I imagine he might go overboard with the slide tackles.

Standard foul from Devlin and he gets a yellow. Masato puts hands around Devlin’s neck and gets nothing?

Game should be called off. Shockingly waterlogged pitch.

I thought it might have been kicking the ball away

Devlin's one they were breaking in our half.

Unless of course we win. Worried about injuries.

Hamed, very attractive and 5 goals in 7 games.. yet I can’t help but feel he’s not bringing enough. Is that fair?

How many were penalties though? They are padding his stats.

So far I feel we are handling the conditions a little better. Poor old Louis would be better off in a canoe down his end.

There's going to be a red or two and a few injuries here by the end of the game.

I hate that argument. Being a good penalty taker is a talent. Think about how better our results would've been over the years with a more confident PK taker!

How have they got so much time in the midfield?

Masato also dived in towards Sutton when he fell over and didn't get a foul. Looking like he could get a brain explosion red card tonight.

Some assists in there too.

Same thing I say to WUN fans on their yellow cards - can't give away dumb fouls in transition and not expect to sometimes cop cards for it.

It is a talent, sure, but I think if he wasn't playing Davila would score most penalties anyway.

Pretty dull game... As expected with the conditions, but Brisbane looking much more likely to score.

They are getting on top through sheet weight of numbers. Waine and especially Hemed are largely redundant for us at the moment.

Roar clearly the better side and should put a few past us in the 2nd half if we keep this up.

I can't remember what injury Piscopo had but not the best pitch for a comeback from injury match.

Hard to play a counter attacking game in these conditions.

Can't believe I am saying this, but if ever there were conditions for Sotirio, this is it. Chase balls over the top, use pace to cause problems in the conditions...

Sortirio probably, but dont think its a game for a playmaker that likes the ball at their feet who has just come back from injury.

Why are we getting over run? They’ve had a lot of territory.

Rufer one of our better long ballers. Not great with the tackle in the wet.

That’s a few minutes in, IMO. Not after the last twenty

Considering the conditions this game should never have been played. This is when serious injuries can happen.

we need a win here and that's very unlikely to happen. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised at a 0-0 result due to the conditions.

The way I look at it, if I have to sometimes play in soaking conditions, so should they. But it's a very frustrating watch, has ruined what would've otherwise been a cracking match.

Yeah, after about 20 I thought we were doing well but then they got right on top. Need a few tactical changes/clever subs 2nd half to get anything out of this.

Happy for Sotirio to come on for Waine. Already he’s looking nifty. When will devlin come off? We’ll die with a red card.
Could we see Charles get some mins for Tomer?
