Ive noticed Stein also seems to be on a different wave length than everyone else. Keeps making runs one way and we put a through ball the other way, or he'll do the same.
I noticed that as well, and not just with Waffles. Often a number of runners moving quickly into good space with an arm in the air but the through ball rarely gets sent early while they are still chasing our runs. Usually there is a cut back and pass the other way - or backwards - giving them time to mark up. Its harder for players at ground level to see the gaps we all see but on having a look at videos after the match maybe the guys can get a sense of how everyone is moving and try a few. That goes for crosses as well where so many times it floats past the back post where nobody seems to ever lurk....
Contrary to a lot of opinions I thought it was a pretty even game and that it could have gone either way - that it why it was so damn frustrating. We had some chances as well - and it was against top of the league team which got 7 goals in its last outinng.... It wasn't like the Melbourne game where we were definitely far second.
Thought the ref did really well. Nice change.
Sorry, never made this game because Coldplay wouldn't change their dates. Agree with virtually all of the above- the Ref was good. We weren't that bad (having watched it on TV). Paston played like my mum. Stein was usually in the right place with no delivery. Smith had a great game. Manny nearly scored. Lochy lost his mojo after playing well for the AW's. Iffy looks tired and slow. This was the best team in the league coming off a large victory- it could have been MUCH worse.
Siggy looking more and more thuggish....he needs to be REALLY careful....
Why, for God's sake, bring on Lia? Ever?
Sack Ricki..........
