These sort of results all can come down to poor recruitment start of season. Too many academy youngsters being relied on. An academy team that has come bottom in the nz national league. No depth in the squad. Especially in defence and Especially when your main right backs are Elliot and Felton. Sign bozinovski on loan. Might as well have gone a player short he's barely played any minutes. Disappointing
Payne and Sutton are the starting full backs.
Fenton is third choice and yet has been asked to start on too many occasions, while there are other weaknesses all over the park.
Not quite fair, but McGarry is very one footed and that slowed our ball movement.
Bozinovski has been substandard- Uffie would have hoped to have had more from him.
Our other main weakness is losing our starting midfield to injury and not bringing in any real injury cover of any kind.
Though we’re short an imposing striker/goal scorer too and as much as Gael has been, neither him or Piscopo score as Uli did.
Sutton is also our not so secret back up playmaker. He’s had a great season. But also we missed him today. A large part of us v CC has been Nkololo beating up our FBs.
I don’t think we can say our season is over, but we’re relying on players coming back from injury and hitting form to challenge: at the moment we’re missing Laws, Rufer, Sutton, Lewis, Hooper and Ball is playing injured.
