My own thoughts from the game are that we played within our abilities, but did not capitalise on our early chances and got muscled out overall; that excludes the poor penalty as a separate issue.
Apart from that, I thought that the referee lost effective control of the game at some point. It is one thing to let the play flow, but it's another thing altogether to let Risdon kick our team off the park before getting a reluctant yellow on 7th infringement, apparently for dissent, rather than for hacking our players. The inexcusable "sandwich" foul on David Ball by two WU players did not even get us a free kick, let alone a card. Danaskos is inexperienced and should have more support and training on the evidence of this game.
My final thought is that John Aloisi proved yet again that he is a better tactician than Talay, and his last two games against us are a case in point.
