Player ratings v Reds

A much better performance, well at least in the second half. Should have won it.

Reddy - 7 Good game.  Should have saved their goal.  Didn't look to be too far from him at all.  His kicks were a worry at times but otherwise was good.
McKain - 8 Very solid.
Hearfield* - 5 Played alright before disappearing.
Durante - 5.75 Didn't stand out by any means but not completely useless
Lochhead - 6 Played well.
Lia - 6 Played reasonably well, stayed out of trouble.
Brown - 5.5 Should have won it for us.
Ifill 6.5 - Ran well, tried hard.
Caceres 8 - Immediate impact.  Quality play after the goal as well.
Daniel - 4.5 Did nothing really.
Bertos - 5.5 Did nothing but fail in the first half then in the second half got better.
Barbarouses - 5.5 Should have set up a goal for us.  Few shocking passes/waited too long.
Rojas - Didn't notice him do anything at all so gets a 5 from me.

I think that's everybody.

Very happy the referee gave a freekick for his stupid two footed and high lunge.  If he hadn't then the match review committee would've been all over it.  Was unnecessary and given our recent suspensions I hope Ricki kicks him in the head for it.

Bertos 1st Half - 4  Maybe because Ricki wanted him central?
Bertos 2nd half - 8 Great turns and decent deliveries

Costa wasn't too bad imo seeing as he was played out of position and in 1st half was quite isolated. Did well to make a few turns but should have released that ball earlier.

As for Brown... well, Gutted

Reddy 7 - some good saves,gives the backline much more confidence

Don't agree that Marco didn't get much oppourtunity - he had half an hour out there and needed to get himself involved a bit more. Obviously he is not the most confident kid on the park, but he does need to be making an impact when he comes on.

I expected him to be out wide with space to show off his skill but he didnt get a shot.
Think he's got huge potential though and liked seeing him make the bench

caceras shouldve come on before rojas no doubt.

Caceres to start in place of Daniel next game.  And Bertos needs a talking to.

i agree 100 %. if ricki doesnt make that change he is dilusional

Yep, I agree Caceres for Daniel.

Reddy very good, felt much more confident with him between the sticks, McKain excellent and MOM in my opinion, Durante defended reasonably well but will he ever get a header on target let alone bulge the auld onion bag? Daniel, absolute rubbish, Bertos not a lot better, he was very poor in the first half and the number of times his delivery into the box from free kicks or crosses is poor is astounding. Rojas did nothing despite having a good half hour to show something, Caceras was excellent in the time he had. Brown and Lia were both good in the Centre of the park if you ignore there finishing, but they are bot battlers who never give up. Given our record at Hindmarsh a draw is an improvement, but this is another one we should have won. The fact we have lost less games than anyone is is testament to the bottle we are showing most of the time. Although we have conceded late goals to give away a lot of points, equally we have scored a number of late goals to salvage draws.

I think i recall another time in the season where Cacras came on and had a good 10 minutes or so, started the next week and was rather absent. An impact player perhaps?

yeah i think Caceras plays better as an impact player, starting Daniel upfront was daft, it should have been ifill and costa, with Daniel and Bertos swapping wings.....was dissappointed in Brown's effort on goal, he's scored 5 from there this season but had three chances two of those were open goals and he misses all three 

Many seem incapable of spelling Caceres name correctly, but this version wins first prize.

man the scores are always to high on these.  ifill 7, daniel 6? what happens when they have a good game?

Caceres is and will always be an impact player. He see's himself as a 90 min player (obviously) and that's why he has left so many clubs. There is a reason he has never, ever been able to hold down a starting spot despite his obvious skill.

He is great when he doesn't have any defensive responsibility and he gets that freedom when he comes off the bench.

caceres to start next week, inplace of daniel but if he has a weak performance keep him as an impact player for the rest of the season.

not sure if we would get as much ball as usual to the strikers though. maybe hearfield for daniel?

valeo gave daniel a 6 and felipe gave ifill a 7? you gave ifill a 6. To me thats an above average performance. but thats just IMHObringbacksmeltz2009-12-20 11:32:24
