Man, that was crap.
 
Not sure Paston will be back for the second half?
 
We really need someone on to up the tempo...and possibly Bertos off! He needs a severe wake up call.

what was brown booked for at the end there for?

Was about to say we didn't look really under threat until they had a couple of very good chances.

We'll have to get them on the break. The perfect snatch-and-grab type game if we are good enough.

COYN!

who got a yellow card at half time and why?

Weird game. We're definitely improving as the game goes on, but Roar's looking good on the break. We'd be down a couple without Paston.

Less long balls please.

Paston, despite making some fine saves looks in quite a bit of a pain actually and seriously having trouble kicking. Though he has an impressive throw!

Too many short passes not going to the man. We need to hold possesion a bit more.

2 saves that if he hadn't had made would have meant 2 zip to Brisbane.

62% possession for Brisbane. Just as well they can't convert that into goals.

Not too sure about everybody's thoughts but i reckon that Ifill has been pretty quite and Dylan has been looking the most attacking threat for us going forward. Durante is playing well again and great two saves from Paston

I think we are doing OK. Just too many silly mistakes, although we started to get that sorted in the last 20. We've had as many good chances as they have.
 
Very, very happy to see Mcallister playing so well. His best 45 by far for me.

I dont think we have anyone with Kosta's speed. And although we have very talented strikers they lack his pace.
Permalink Permalink

Greenacre has been non-existent. I think we should just try a more traditional 4-4-2 rather than this 4-2-2-1-1 sort of thing we are playing tonight. Not enough players around the middle of the park. Brown and Lia are pretending to be invisible again.

We didn't have any choice in Kosta. His contract was up and he didn't want to re-sign.

Ifill looking quiet again. Much like CCM. Hopefully he can turn it on this half.

were goin alright, im happy with most of that aside from the last 3-4 mins
 
our defence was awesome for the most part, but two lapses and paston's called on to make a cupla great saves
 
all we need is a a cupla bits of magic and to keep on keeping em at bay, 3 points here we come lads

Brisbane have a few guys with pace. That is what we are lacking.

I'd rather see Kosta playing than be on our bench, from an NZ perspective.
 
He had a few indifferent spells, some good ones and some bad ones when playing for the Nix. He's not some magician.  If he were in the 'nix squad now I doubt he'd be starting, and perhaps not on the bench.
 
Not happy about this game kick-off time, no way to watch it here.  Sounds like it was pants to watch though.

looks to me like brown and lia are busy enough working their nuts off trying to quash brisbane's passing game, no mean feat

Brown's been good from where I'm sitting. Lia started with a couple of horror passes but is doing a lot of legwork, admittedly to not much purpose but someone's gotta do it.

Pav will get a run, but probably not until after 60/65 mins.
Dura has been immense.

Despite being outplayed, we have still carved out some chances. All is not lost.

I know, I know, its serious!

Yeah, Still looking to a positive outcome this half. Just hoping that we manage to keep 11 on the park due to our Discipline/Refereeing.

Ok, maybe Brown and Lia are running about trying to block things and whatever, but we've got nobody to take a grip of the game in the centre of the park. Whenever either of those 2 get on the ball, they give it away. Two players playing as holding midfielder when most teams seem to only have one of these players.
