Good shot from Reno towards the end but my earlier call of a scoreless draw was bang on.
The Nix always seem to leave putting the pressure on until too late in the match. We could have got the three points there had we played the final 15 the way we played the final 5. Repeat of the WU game.
I'd also have brought Rufer on earlier for his long ball passing game.
Decent second half, but we needed the 3 points. Were was the urgency? Why was Devlin walking off the pitch? Why did Sail spent 30 seconds hugging the ball on the ground at the end?
All in all I felt as though the Nix had at least 3 chances that would have been put away if it wasn't a bath in the 18 yard box, and the Roar were only speculating.
Yeh- a lot of shots, but little where we were scrambling or Sail was really tested. TBf though Young looked fairly comfortable too.
Totally agree. Tomer took a good minute to walk off as well... mate you know we’re not winning aye? Move your ass.djtim3000

Tough match. A game where we needed the precision to be perfect but sadly we're probs just not up to that skill level atm, but on a different day we would've won that.
just a horrid game all round really, the pitch was wrecked after the rain, really affected how we play the game, was noted a couple of times - especially in the first half - that we were playing longer than normal and not passing it around at the back like we normally do - this means that Waine and Hemed are having to work harder than normal to get to the ling ball form defence rather than having a midfield bring it to them. Think bringing Sotirio on at the half was the right call but even with his pace he wasnt that effective, his touch is so bad and with those conditions he is equipped to control the ball. Davilla struggled first half but seemed to spark up in the second, Picopo definitely made a difference, will be interesting to see who he replaces when he starts, Ball/Davilla are playing wide at the moment, so does that mean a shape change to accomodate all three? Maybe with Ball and Piscopo wide and davilla sitting as a AM behind Waine/Hemed? 0-0 doesnt help much, need wins!
Wait what- Louis got a card for diving after having to patrol that absolute freakn swimming pool? What a joke- and they were too busy talking to Warren Moon to cover it properly. Feverish must have been reffing.

It was in an attacking position, not when he was defending. It was a ridiculous decision though considering the conditions. I don't think he even appealed for a penalty... so it wasn't a dive. He had a similar situation in the 2nd half and the WU defender tried to convince the ref to send him off for a 2nd yellow.
