Just watched back the highlights and two things struck me compared to our bad days in Melbourne etc.
Mandrejkar James takes one right in the head that might have been zinging in.
And McCarron was respectable, but when he made the save that squirted out we had two players in Payne and James alert and first to the ball. That wasn’t happening before.
Compare that to our second goal. Rufer is incredibly composed and Sydney are locked on him and fail to mark up 3 players in their 6 yard box. And he finds one.
Still not sold on LKH as a WB. He’s not Armientoing or Payneing up the wing and scoring or putting it on Piper’s head. Makes me a bit nervous seeing him there. Might be a squaddie CB.
Edit: luck was the deflection for the first goal Al! We didn’t get that earlier in the season, but collected today and closed out too.
