I don't think sandoval has realised yet that it's not gonna be an auto foul everytime he gets touched and dived. Be nice if he figured it out soon. This isn't Mexico.

Brisbane all over us.  Every time we do some good stuff we hold the ball for half a second too long and they get it.

Hoops would be a monster in this game. We need a point of attack in the box.

Too early for excuses but 26 degrees with pretty high humidity after playing a very hard game on a heavy surface only 72 hours ago. It's probably not surprising we look fatigued.

Not so much a fatigue as probably playing slow tempo in order not to run out of gas by 70 minute.

Seems to be real goal shy this evening. Lots of players end up in prime shooting position but go for the second touch or pass instead.

I hope UT is going to bring on some of the fresher, younger players earlier. Roar aren't that strong. All we need is some hunger and more will to attack

I am not seeing low level of hunger. What I am seeing is high level of humidity.

well that was a sluggish, almost amateur half of I guess football.
We just didnt look like we wanted to be here, need a rocket at the break and a better attitude come the second 45.

Brisbane defending like demons. We’re missing those water logged corners to play through balls into. 

Not out of it, but needing get a few moments to go right for us.

Weirdly, apart from that close call right at the end, we had more, and better half chances than them. It was the first 20 minutes especially that we looked sluggish and maybe that's going to cost us the game.

Commentator said and  here come the Roar looking to equal…
I think, funnily enough, Rufer was a key part of the pressure we were building. 
Wonder who will stand up for us in the second half. We have Hoops on the bench? Pennington has a chance to relive cup heroism.

OK, please find me another reason that a team that performed exceptionally well last Wednesday is playing sluggishly and without much impact tonight, against the bottom of the table team. And getting a swag of yellow cards against a team with arguably less skillful players than the Nix. And please include reasons for our poor record when playing away at Brisbane.

Akbari and Iwada off the field. Let's see if we can capitalise.

If someone could turn off that annoying female commentator that speaks for the Roar only, it would be almost a decent commentary from the other guy.

He's right though, we managed to look fit and up for it when we had that huge run of games in a short space of time. 

Problem is since then we've had two postponed games, a long break and training heavily interrupted by the weather. Apparently we were forced to find some space at a local park to train. Then a massively draining game against the Jets, now this one with only two days in between. It's not ideal even for professional athletes.

this ref is a muppet along with the commentators, Old is scythed down by Neville and its a great tackle, no foul. Hooper taps Akbal and the whistle is blown like an air raid signal and the commentators weigh in with studs up comments.Same old shark after 15 years
