Oh for sure it's been a very bad season. From about mid December (when Rojas & Cola were ruled out long term) to Chico starting to look good after a few games in mid March (plus Rufer & Payne returning) - the football was dire. 3 months of awful very negative football.
But in the 5 games from SFC mid March to Adelaide last week it had been 1W, 2D & 2L. Both losses by 3-2 scorelines. SFC, WSW, Jets, VUC & Adelaide. 4 of those top 6 teams. Entertaining, lots of goals and some green shoots of a turnaround.
However the Roar match a serious regression to the turgid unwatchable muck of mid season. Due to family stuff I only saw the first half, but the 2nd half didn't sound much better.
Lets see what happens on Friday. But in the scope of next season, I doubt any of these last 2 games mean much. The Glory have the wooden spoon in the trophy cabinet, and they likely ain't that keen on the long haul trip to chilly NZ. Especially if the weather on the night is a bit foul, which long range seems likely.
