R3 vs Melbourne City | Sat 21 Oct | 7:35pm | SS2

Same mate :( But never fear: http://88live.me/artbtsport3.html

Monster trucks were on that pitch two weeks ago.... Is Hernandez back??

I’m loving the way we are playing. I just want a bit more sting in the attacking third.

Krishna is too wide for my liking, looks a bit lost. He's better driving through the middle.

Help - that link went down - anyone else got one?

Rossi coming off for Doyle.

Uh oh.

So if Durante and Rossi are injured and Doyle is away with NZ, who do we call up from the reserves? Maybe Wood? Or do we bring in an injury replacement?

Oops, forgot Mullen. 

Plenty of cover at the back 

Our possession game has been very positive, the play in the final 3rd has been embarraszimh3 

. Galloways been especiall poor going forward.  Not great, but very positive  thus far

How did I forget about Fox and Lowry, man I'm losing it. Cheers!

Smith could've been a bit faster onto that through ball maybe.

That was nice football

A tad harsh!

IMO that is probably as good as half as I have seen from the NIX goals or no goals.

While this possession is brilliant i feel like we're not actually looking for an end product. McGlinchey seems to like pushing the ball to the sides instead on going more direct, and all our shots have been from distance. Directness where it's needed lads

The people on here who have said for years we should shoot more from further out are getting their wish.

Yes I'm loving this style of football. Starting to create right at the end of the half there.

Frustrating that we have no goals but holy shark, I don’t think I’ve ever seen us play with such cohesion and patience. We look like a competent football team!

Still amazed Ross McCormack is playing for City. Any Championship team would be happy to n have him. 

Still- seeing from Dario why Ernie didn't want us to shoot from outside the box. Good chances, but one blocked and one put wide. 

Still, impressive football and the front third will come to the party sooner or later.

playing bloody well for the most part. Just way too many poor aimless balls given way when we played out from the back. Need to stop turning it back when we do get near the box.  So much a better game than last nights attrition.

Except for the one that loaned him out!

Agreed. Seems churlish to complain after some pretty impressive possession footy but we are still ponderous on attack, like our front line haven't worked out combinations yet. Also I think MC, despite being half asleep are probably going to undo us at some point just through the brilliance of one of their players.

I know AK is the type of player to do nothing all game and then pop up with a goal but would really like him to get more involved. Look for the diagonal runs and come to the ball. Very static. 

Ridenton looking much more improved than last two weeks. 

Probably something to do with this: https://www.google.co.nz/amp/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/steve-bruce-involved-furious-bust-9669110.amp

Think we have a good football team in the making here. Haven't seen us so fluent for years. Every players seems to know what their roles are, and we have a plan. Don't expect to win games like this yet, as City will probably haul out a moment of brilliance, but can't wait for the next home game.  

I think our crossing is letting us down, we shift the ball nicely, get it wide and then waste the ball. Galloway and Abbas haven't been crossing well, WeeMac tends to drift inside or cut back on to his right more, and Krishna is better with space in front of him to run into.

Finkler's creativity in the middle would be handy about now.

Smith has an ability to scare me every game so far

Knowing how young Smith is, it's both funny and amazing tosee him barking orders to the experienced guys.

as soon as he spun around I thought we were going one up there.

come on boys! what a chance - still not one person was there supporting... we deserve a goal!!

Decent corner too.

Really liking Vidosic. He is genuine class. Great pick up for the club.
