Quite an even game I thought, so an away point is OK. Really liked the spirit of this team.....in past years we would have folded and conceded a goal late in the game. But even though some of the players looked like their legs had gone they kept battling away.
Could be useful having Burns and Nichols coming off the bench but I thought Burgess has not adjusted to the speed of the A-League. His decision making two games in a row has been way too slow.
Really happy how the Rudan era is shaping up.......though to be honest that was not one of the great games of football to watch!
Having an Ozzie coaching the Nix has done wonders for our image across the ditch......the commentators were actually complementary for a change.
Disagree completely re: Burgess. He looked far sharper than Burns did when he came on, who did his usual try-to-dribble-then-get-tackled routine.
I think the main concern is the lack of mobility in CM, and the lack of interplay between our front 3. The rest; not bad - and defence looks very, very solid. Taylor is a man mountain at the back and Doyle was similar; Dura did well too.
Will take the point; could've won, but we could've easily lost last week so swings and roundabouts. The most pleasing thing for me, and a point of difference to past seasons, is that we did not wilt late in the game in the Brisbane heat. In fact, Brissy players were going down with cramp before us. It's a really good sign that we were still putting in a shift around the 85th min mark.
