The man at the bBack post was wide open for Ridenton there.

Better play. We're picking it up. Weak effort by Ridenton, but right idea.

Ridenton's final ball then was expecting Kaludjerovic to jump at it, Andrea wanted it on the floor. Annoying, but good build up play,

Smith trying to pass out from the back at every opportunity - commendable, but can see it biting us in the ass soon.


you realise this is under instruction most likely right?

players following coaching instructions?

Stop effing around wiht the ball in our defence. Scary when our keeper is taking his time, instead of just kicking it upfield at times.

Sydney will punish us, if we keep doing this.

Ridenton not the issue. Doyle has been very poor, and Galloway caught out quite a few times.

First 20 gone, relatively pleased. 

Not looking awed by a team that on paper is superior. Like our pressing, seem to be doing a better job of it than Sydney who are just standing off for the moment.


Are we watching different games - we've barely got over half way.

Im seeing composure in the passes, a willingness to play from the back and at least a few good switches, as well as a couple of good half chances in the first 4-5 minutes. 

Sydney haven't done anything.

And just as I say that Brosque misses a sitter and a few minutes later Bobo scores.

Should have just kept quiet!

they are coming straight through the middle. Yes Doyle is not marking well but Ridenton could at least close the gate and make it hard rather than open it and escort them through

Ridenton has been defending quite high at times... not sure hes playing a deep role alongside Paracki.

wasn't he the only one to actually tackle a Sydney player? It unfortunately went straight to another players feet though

We had 7 players around them there v 3. Hard to blame Ridenton.

Smith not worrying me as much as the matching through the midfield or Galloway on defence

Doyle looks okay going forward but isn't doing his primary job on the left at the back !

Surely we have our back 4 wrong here.  Doyle is all at see in the middle, as he is an out and out left back, Mullen can play in the middle and is on the right, and Galloway is on the left, but is perfectly capable of playing on the right.
