We have zero luck. All our open chances take hilarious deflections and miss and their not a striker just takes a punt and scores. 

Both of their goals were flukes/lucky. The first took a massive deflection to go in.

So did ours

Now I've calmed down - we played well and dominated away from home against Sydney. A lot of positives to take out of that, but we really need to be converting chances; Hooper should help; I think Ball looks absolutely like the perfect second striker. He works his ass off.

I thought Sotirio had a really good second half, too - so too Davila and McCowatt. McCowatt did really good to weather the Grant storm for the 15 mins and I thought he ended up getting the better of that encounter.

Libby a huge loss for next week (and potentially the week after), really gutted. I do not trust Walter Scott  to fill in for him and I'd rather see Payne or TAHW slot in.

I thought Rufer was pretty poor on the ball today; I think that's his biggest issue - he's OK at a few cross field balls but anytime he has the ball and is facing towards goal he has no idea what to do with it.

The best thing for me is I don't think anyone could watch that game and think we didn't give our all; every single player worked their fudgeing asses off.
