R11 vs Perth Glory | Sun 17th Dec | 12:01am | SS4

 I'd be sending them an invoice for your dedicated viewing work.

After this, am cancelling my Foxtel sub. Is not worth it just to watch this dross every week anymore.

Was bad news for Linda Blair

A bit of head spinning projectile vomiting would at least bring bit of excitement to our team

Manevers

Maybe the introduction of H Watson will change your mind

Singh should've come on for Vidosic. He looks classy, even stuck out on the wing.

At #10. wasted out wide.

considering we've got Rufer, Ridenton and Parkhouse starting and Singh coming on, with Watson on the bench. And coming on now. I think one, maybe two of those could play a part in a proper A league team. 

Matty very close to a starter.

But if we want to have a good team I'd say we can only have one apprentice type player in the team

Commentators say good challenge by Watson. Gillet blows it up

set piece chance for the draw

It's now or never

VAR red surely?

May have been lowest standard of A League Football I have ever seen

I can handle losing but this is soul destroying. 

Yawn.

Another VAR red?

Waste of fudgeing time

oh nothing really.

Lazy high challenge from Castro. then a bit of a kick out the lower one. 

Not bad from our defence TBH, apart from the goal but nothing in the midfield and on attacking theirs.

At least we consistently get Nil now.

Palace ahead now

90 minutes of football. Shots on target. One.

The VAR was rather quiet this game compared to CCM vs WSW..

We had our chances but never took them,  both teams were equally shark. Parkhouse is much better on the left, they were all over AK9 in this game once Vidosic came off

Yep, their central defence didn't do much wrong. Ours did once.

Sucks being at the bottom!! wish we could beat SFC let alone any team ATM.

A win is coming.. I just don't know when.

Someone please explain why we started Parkhouse on the right side again. Makes no sense at all to me.Sydney next week, not expecting a big crowd for that one.

I was at work so have no idea of the match. Vickmeist won't even record them now when we are looking bad. She didn't even mention the match when I came home and her comments last night dried up in the 2nd half. 

So what happened and what was wrong with us? Who played well and who badly? Tactics did they work or not?

Any glimmer of hope?

Dear Esoteric Magazine,

Both sides were appalling. It was a genuine Barry Crocker. Aimless careless brainless passing and off the ball running. Perth were not any better in that regard. 

Yours sincerely,

A Concerned Fan

No. I expect nothing. Happy with draws. Will enjoy every win like it could be the last.

Quietest match thread ever? 

I hope things pick up

Fire up or flicker up?

With my faulty maths to get into the top 6 (really low bar here) you need about 36 points after 27 games.

We have 6 after 10.

So just another 30 points from 17 games.

Thats 10 wins from 17 games if we got no draws.

Can anyone give me realist hope of a 6th position after 27 games please!

Yeah, nah.

Nothing is changing, no progress, opposite, we are going backwards, the first few games we played some refreshing football now we just play boring stuff. This season is another write off. I guess they have to train and work hard for some highlight matches and do their best to justify new contracts next season. Good players move on average players try to stay because nobody want's them. Vicious cycle.

Getting close to 4 hours now since we have bulged the auld onion bag

We defended really well in the first half. Good pressing of the ball by everyone which resulted us getting the ball high up the pitch. Unfortunately we didn't maintain that in the second half and our high line meant Perth were able to get in behind.

Offensively we weren't up to much. Only one shot on goal in the entire match. Parkhouse and Ridenton were playing as inverted wingers/wide midfielders and didn't offer much. 

Hope is that we have our creative attacking players back in Krishna, McGlinchey and Vidosic. That plus our improved defence in the last two games might lead to better results ... except not next week as we're up against Sydney.

thanks
