After watching the painful first half we had last night, I was hoping for a comback just like last week, but it didn't happen. Though Stephen O'Dor was an UTTER WASTE OF SPACE, just like Christie was!! I don't care if he's not a natural right-back, he's a bloody professional and should be able to adapt to a standard thats suitable for the A-League, not leave MASSIVE holes on the right wing! It's like he'd basically given up playing right-back and just become a 3rd central defender. Our defence was also like a bunch of kiddies playing footy, when they all just clamber around the ball hoping to hit it. Jeremy Christie, as per usual, did b****r all. He reverted to the way he used to play for the Kingz and Knights.
 
While the only good to come out of last night was Smeltzy. Lots of opportunites and actually went back to FIND them. Thats commitment.
 
Though it is early days yet and the Mariners are a good side that people always underestimate, I feel we should have performed MUCH better. Lets hope a draw or win is on the cards against Newcastle next week.
 
Rant Over, lol.

You can't just blame O'Dor, when O'Dor was marking someone where is Ferrante??  He left a huge hole at the right hand side and their winger just attacked O'Dor on and on.  Cleberson was there to help but that's how they scored the 2nd.
