Bring back Royz
WPM R11 vs Western United | Fri 21st January | 9:45pm | SS7
Will definitely take the scoreline at halftime but really wish we could maintain some possession.
Fair credit to Paulsen for keeping his head and staying on top of it all despite the amount of pressure we've invited into the box.

What a difference having quality goal scoring players makes. Don't think this one's in the bag by any stretch though. Sandoval already looks a bit leggy. Defence all a bit last ditch and there seem to be huge holes in midfield at times.
Still, great to be in front and looking so dangerous on attack.

Oh fudge I thought the men's game started after the women's.
What are we doing 2-0 up?

oh dear, you missed the chat here pointing out the men's game started at the women's half time.
I'm really liking Sandoval. Such a great work rate and creates so many opportunities

Uffie is rolling the dice a bit having Gael and Piscopo as the two wide playmakers and so far it has worked, score more goals than the opposition and it doesn't matter how many they score.
While I can't fault the work our two 10's do to track back (Gael in particular) neither are really effective in a low block (Gael in particular) luckily our cover defense has functioned OK. Paulsen decent of course too. I think now we're 2-0 up, Ball replacing one of the two in a wide role and Waine or someone else on up front and we'd look more comfortable.
Imagine Davila and Sandoval on both wings would be a deadly combination

Twice in a minute Piscopo hasn't given Ball the pass he needed. Frustrating.
Just got to say, Jacob Spoonley is a great analyst of the game

I’m a bit scared to watch. Sandoval gassed. Ref misses what commentators describe as a Josh Risdon coat hanger, but still manage to card our bench. Players seem to be able to swear at the ref with impunity in the A league so I wonder what was said!
I would not expect Gael to last 90 minutes - probably Waine will come on?
Sotirio,
Sotirio,
Diamante should have scored here.
Jeez, now Piscopo completely fails to even remotely cover Diamanti who luckily blazes over. If he's tired take him off.
Knew it was offside the moment the ball was played but fudge wouldn't that have been nice

gassed? maybe but give the guy a break, he's not played for 6 weeks, travelled from Mexico to Aus, and trained with his new team.
Should've been 3-0. Bugger.
Hooper is fitter and sharper than I have ever seen him in our colours.

Not bagging him- you missed he’s recovering from having Covid!
Just think maybe he needed a spell having played his part.
Waine comes on for Piscopo with 15 min to go
Piscopo off. Very good first half but clearly a long way from back to full match fitness, understandably.
Josh Laws IMMENSE
Great shot by Sotirio - did everything right, Jamie Young did well to get this parried away.
Surely that was a high foot on Fenton?
Great work by Paulsen twice in a minute.
Ollie Sail looking nervous in the stands!

Pennington on for Lewis.
Fenton has run around like a madman tonight. Great stuff from Indestructible Louis.
Aussie commentary. ‘going by the replay I’d have to go with Imai being very very lucky to still be on the pitch’
a booking for that is a shocking decision. The guy was coming on cover but was only close enough because Waine was being pulled back.

Thanks VAR, throw us a crumb in the last minute of a game when we are 2-0 up!
Who is that impostor in the VAR box, and what has he done with Griffiths-Jones?
Even without Rudan the snakes are grubby buggers
