R13 vs Central Coast Mariners | Sat 12 Jan | 7.35pm | Westpac | #KidsGoFree

Nichols is terrible. Missing Mandi and Rufer.

Williams looks like he hasn't woken up. Get him off for Sheridan.

Can we stop long balling to no one? Fudge me

Fred De Jong trying to spin being 2-0 down into a positive

Looks like a good crowd. The problem is we lose this game is most won't be coming back for a long time... That's a serious issue for the future of the club

Millar > cavace again.

Krishna is not holding the ball up well at all; not often you say that. Every player seems off.

Nichols is a bad footballer. 

The concern is we have nothing on the bench to change the midfield. I would almost be tempted to change the formation.

Where has our passing game gone the last couple of matches?

We’ve played bad the last couple of weeks but flunked some results. Pidgeons coming home to roost.

I would get Krishna off for Sheridan asap. Krishna looks off the pace.

You'd almost think it was a psychological thing. Nosebleed; fear of excellence. Much safer in the old days when no one expected a win or came to the games. Rudan can't get rid of that, at least not for long.

But weren't you one of the people saying that CCM were no threat?

I don't think it's a huge surprise to people who actually follow the team - no midfield, and we haven't actually played that well the last 2 weeks. I was just hoping we'd pull it all together at home in front of a big crowd. We're still a team with a mentality issue, which is being shown tonight.

Fudge. Should've been a goal from Williams. Better. Let's get a goal before half time

Kurto = Polish Neuer

Williams kills momentum with a dumb offside

Throw should've gone to him straight away but Cacace wasn't looking.

Williams needs to do better with that cross..

only thing that replay shows is a truly apalling cross from Williams

Williams off for Sheridan at HT for me

That's so weak by Kopy

Matt Simon is the only player in the league who is allowed to go through the back of someone and not called for a foul.

Whenever there is an opportunity to switch play, we go down the narrow side again and get congested.

still think we are going to win 3-2

If we scored before half time. I would agree with you.

I think Rudan will pull Williams at HT for Sheridan.

We need 3 goals. Bring The Sheriff on straight away; we need Singh on the ball more. If Kopy or Nicholls can’t produce move Singh deeper. Oh and Lowry on for Doyle please  

If CCM are terrible where does that leave us. For most of the 1st half they they have played us off the park. The main difference is that they have commitment. 

can we get more noise please. I feel we will score

Singh looks exhausted to me. Hard to expect an 18 year old to keep up this level of intensity after so many games in a short time. In fact most of the team look lethargic, which is understandable.

Sub on Sheehan and make him an instant club hero 

One goal will open the floodgates I reckon, if Rudan gets Cacace and Doyle to properly focus and we bring on Shebediah then I reckon we'll get something out of the game

Sheeran

Kopa showing why people who saw him preseason said he didn't belong in the midfield.  Nichols not showing anything as he may as well not have been there for all I could see.

Sheumarian probably should have started. Surely would have been better on defense v Matt simon

Cillian Murphy?

Fox did show highlights of an old game v CCM where we came back from 2-0 down to win but something tells me this is one of those big off days we have to accept this team is going to have. Lots of great things about the Nix atm but we can't be blind to our shortcomings.

Shepherd

I am mark rudan. 

Well that is about the clearest penalty you are ever going to see.  And a fair red too - had no intention of playing for the ball, so still a red even under the law change.

Blatant pen and red
