Not the greatest showing from Payne & Barbarouses but happy with a point in the end - also how did Kaltak not pick up a yellow card?
Thought Kosta was fine. But for a miracle save he's on the scoresheet, plus general play was ok.
Payne is a bit of a concern for me but he wasn't entirely to blame for what was a very ordinary display of defending.
Payne has to be better than Elliot to keep him out and he mostly is, but he used to be Mr Reliable, but has had some jitters in the passed 12 months. I’d expect him to have to step up a level or two as a senior player to hold his starting spot.

Take the point & build. Central Coast will be there or thereabouts this season, a really good side.
Defending again questionable, really need to sort that out, because ball watching and losing your man at this level should be a criminal offence.
When that 2nd goal went in from Cummings I thought the worst, purely because we lose our way, as well as games from that point...
Will take solace at the point purely because it's the first point we've won from a losing position since coming from behind at Eden Park against WSW - May 30th, 2021. How's that for stat of the day eh?

Football is very subjective. Have your own opinion. In mine, Elliot is the better player.
Crowd today? Looked smaller than last week but just as enthusiastic.
Thought I heard 7089 over the announcement system, but this is not gospel from my end. 😅
Was there or there abouts, shame really given the weather. That new stadium announcer is awful though. Get the names right and get that fudgeing rugby sharke in the sea. Good on the fever for trying to drown that out.
Definitely should have won that. I think my fears of Payne being RB was there in evidence today. He’s not good enough in that position, nor does he go up the wings enough. It was clear as day he should have cleared that out wide.
By and large we seemed a bit timid today, not sure why, but man, zawada and waine impressed today. Don’t think lists deserves any hate, was mightily unlucky but also should have shot first time a couple of times. Signs are still positive. Just need to get used to playing here again. We’re behind you!

Two games in and I think it is not too early to make a call that we are not going to be top 4 this season and have no chance of winning the league. Basically to do that we need to have picked up gold in our new imports. The polish striker looks A league adequate standard for a kiwi or ausi but nothing more. The Bulgarian midfielder despite having the best CV is simply slow as and I suspect will lose his place to old shortly. I don’t think the coach has won the lottery this time with those guys.

Much too early. Talay still has no idea of his best 11. Give it another 10 games. The league will be tight. Top 4= 40 points.
Old was poor today off the bench. Shame, did well last week.
Waine gets better and better, strong on the ball with his hold up play, but also quick enough to make those runs in behind the defenders. Seems like a good all round striker.
