I think this one is a little bit on Chiefy again, though he is getting closer to figuring out what he should be doing with the players at his disposal.
Sheridan is a great player but he is a right back, and Chiefy has been trying to shoehorn into the team everywhere but RB all season and it doesn't work. Colakovski is useless, I'd rather have seen more OVH and Ball.
Maybe next week is time to try a different partner with Wootton, either Piper or even trying Payne there and putting Sheridan at RB. Worth a go when Hughes scores an OG and a pen giveaway in consecutive games.
Still, I am happy enough with that defeat. Rotten luck that the combination of us gifting them a pen, Kurto having an absolute blinder & us missing a bunch of great chances all conspired to see us lose but we are heading in the right direction.

Not sure we are heading in the right direction. I think it was a worse performance than that against AFC (despite the loss then), or CCM or Perth. We played as bad as our first game against Western United which we should have won.
Agree this one is on Chiefy. Sheridan is not a LB and we lost the momentum when Sutton came off. Rufer did step up at that time, but it was too late for by then.
Apart from one brain fart too many, Hughes played OK and Josh did not have much to do today. Yes, it might be different if Rojas was fully fit, but i agree with others that David Ball would have offered more as a creative sub than Walker who was largely invisible in his short cameo.
