Match 6 vs CCM | Sun 14th Feb | 6:05pm | SS7

Nah still 1 BS red card.  Just that one is shark given the reds that our oppositions haven't received.  Still a fair red. 

our proximity defending is generally good but defenders still need to take responsibility and actually engage in defensive action, especially when big slow strikers try to run between them. very frustrating

we play a sitting midfield 4 in front of a sitting defensive 4 and they still get to play a simple pass between our centre backs for the world's slowest striekr to find space. not good enough.

our back line doesn't need to be that deep against Simon and Urena (who isn't the sprinter he used to be)

one central midfielder needs to join each attack. no use having 2 sitters

Just great a pen!

Slow as a wet week in July there. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Comical defending

Typical dumb woeful Keeper not jumping high enough. Sub on Sail plz

Maybe CC' in Roy Krishna as well...

I wasn't sure how serious all your comments about bringing Sail on are, thanks for making it 100% clear it's all in jest.

Think that one's really crushed us. Score could blow out now.

still moving the ball well enough in possession.

Fenton hatty!

Fenton to save us!

Was Piscopo clutching at his upper leg or was I just imagining it?

Come on! Keep it tight and steal something. 

Lewis playing a deeper pivot/play maker?

FFS now De Vere's gone....

and Devere gone. Baby Nix time, if we're to get anything from the season. 

Getting some chances but CCM just toying with us really.

I couldn't see what that free kick was for

Another goal keeping blunder lucky it wasnt a goal.

Sort of wish that went in so at least I could've laughed in my despair.

CCM bring on Kuol to burry us.

get one back now- two back in stoppage time. Davila, Siggie and maybe Ridenton or Rufer. Or anyone who wants it. 

I can't remember the last time we came back from a goal or two down. Uffie has no plan b game

Down to 10 is no excuse for giving away so many midfield passes under zero pressure.

To be fair all the Plan Bs in the world aren't going to save you if you're down 2-0 and playing 10 v 11. Not to mention the ever growing injury list.

Clowns

Muratovic butchers it.  Still on tho. Good work from the right side and Davila to create the chance.

Injury-time goal for GD plz.

Should have been more specific.

I know we are down to ten but I'd struggle to think of anyone who had a good game. Other than Davila (who also didn't have a good game by his standards), we really lack quality... Can't see us being close to the top 6 this year. 

A long time ago, but we were looking good chance of a result before the red.

This is our season right here.

Yep. We have a weak squad. But if we'd pinched a goal at any time we'd have been in it. Lewis looks a little unfit still. Wouldn't be convinced he could sprint box to box. We were short on goal scorers prior to the kick off. Now we're short everywhere, but keeper.

let’s go warriors.. this’ll be our year 

that was sum bulshark from the bois. Need to put in better performances going forwarded for the fans, pretty sharkty we have terrible match times let alone get a red card 20mins into the match. 

Flush it down the dunny. Always hard to judge when you play 60 plus mins with only 10 men. Esp against the confidence high league leaders.

If both DeVere and Laws are out against WSW (or longer), who backs up TAHW & McGing? Payne?

Will they have to fly over a CB from Weenix. Sam Brotherton on a short term deal?

Muratovic I thought had his best cameo to date, even if he wasted his chance.

With Ball, Sotiro and likely Hemed all out. He'll probably start next weekend. Or I guess if Devlin is back they could push Ridenton forward. Squad looks wafer thin now. Sutton to revert back to being a AM sub rather than LB?

Last season Taylor & DeVere barely missed a game as CB partnership, this season both CBs go down in the same game. Nix can't get a break.

I have a feeling Australia will re-introduce quarantine for NZ travellers given our alert level change. Could ruin that idea. 

transfer window is too far away. Will they allow emergency loans from an mol team?

Guess it's the imports who make the difference in a team. Sorry guys, I pick the Nix for 12th this season. We just don't have the quality to get into top 6. We can't rely on Uli to do everything for us.

Hopefully, Uffie and Davila sign contract extensions and we come back stronger next season with some quality signings.
