The contrast of intent is night and day, look at their players not only reacting but taking initiative and looking hungry to do something.

2 very soft goals, defensively just ball watching. Can't blame it on tactics or coaching, just poor execution of the basics.

WSW just seem to have so much space in the centre of the park, Lewis and Ugarkovic are almost allowing the WSW midfield to sit between them and the defence.
 
Said the same thing to my brother in law. Players that are leaving are some of the worst culprits tonight.

You've got to feel sorry for Zawada at this point. Excellent effort, consistent as all hell, excellent season from him all round to be fair. 

He's been carrying this team for months.

Kraev not getting close there just a sign it's not going to be our night. Problem it never does seem to be our night as of late.

the good thing about the camera angle is that you can see who's putting it in and who isn't

are we trying for the spoon?

Would be about the only thing we're trying for so far this evening.

Second best to everything tonight. This game is not even close.

It should be about 4-0 already.

This is the first men’s game I’ve watched this season…. What is this shark? Even before the second goal. Pointless possession not creating anything. No support for the forwards. Who can’t stay on side either- like 5-6m offside isn’t even close to being onside. The centre backs just need to put their foot through the ball sometimes and clear it. The first goal was pathetic. And the second goal was a ridiculous give away. Then no reaction or fury from his team mates??? Where is the passion? Do they have a captain on the field?? And I read people giving Sail shark about his performances. They could be 4 down without his reflex saves. When out of possession there’s absolutely no intensity to try and win the ball or pressure the opponent even when they get well inside our own half. Very Lame. Would rather watch the aggression of Barry and endeavour of Foster and Wisnewski than this crap.

All eleven players walking off at distance from each other, individually. Dejected. Nobody yarning with any of their team mates. Very telling.

I'm going to bed now, not because we are two nil down, but because if the players don't want to put in any effort on the pitch I certainly don't want to put in any effort to stay up late.

Generous ratings across the board. Not sure what Sasse has done to be sitting at 7.

Back 4 feel like they should be all in the 5-5.5 range. Elliot has been alright to be fair, but they haven't tested the right hand side anywhere near as much as Sutton's.

Sasse has made as many tackles as the back four combined and hit his passes with pace, some even forward. 
Gives the ball to players facing forward.

Kosta is all reputation these days - he is a shadow of the player he was at Victory and Sydney. Has offered us nothing.

This is god awful!
I'll never give up on this club but it's pretty clear some of these players already have.
