Old starting to get more involved with those tricky feet. You just feel this Perth defence is going to give him a lot of space which is exactly what he's after.
Small sample so far but Conchie has been decent in his advanced role too.

For God's sake, get one of the journos to ask Chiefy why he isn't spending more time on dead ball situations in training. We don't ever look threatening from set pieces. No goals from free kicks or corners.
Edit: looks like nufc_nz expressed this sentiment about 30 seconds before I did

That was a half to answer what if we played a starting team where no one backed their shooting…would have been interesting to see what van Hattum might’ve done in that situation, but the second half could be a doozy. Two of our top goal scorers on the bench. How’s it gunna play…

They've got a couple of supersubs too in Williams and Anasmo. It'll be the last 20-25 minutes that really test us when out of kilter body clocks and tired legs take effect. That's when we need our subs to step up.
Not sure on that half myself, we look crafty going forward but worried by the danger posed by their crosses, decent chances and getting on the ball in the box. They've opened us up more than teams tend to at this point in a game.
Salas loves a sliding tackle. All good so far. Nix looking dominent since him, Zawada & Kraev came on. But those corners. LKH on the last one - shouldn't his giant frame be in the box?
