CCM vs Western United

[ConsKrypt]

That’s me done for the season, unless I have friends going. Same mistakes every weekend- unorganised defence, conceding the ball too easily in the final third. There’s been enough time to turn things around if it was simply a question of mentality of having an off game, but nothing has changed.

Yep.

I want to Believe, but there is nothing to Believe in! < Could be a good banner actually lol

McBreen raises a good point

. no chance I'm watching a replay. what was the point?

 

[scoober]

I could swear we're in the NBA and tanking so we have a better chance of getting number 1 draft pick...... oh wait its football

Keeper took out Paull in the 6 yard box after his header

 

[Allreet?]

Kuz has probably been our best.

Until he lost the ball for their second.

But why wasn't VAR all over two huge penalty shouts?

Cause it was Casey in VAR...

Both of the penalty shouts were just as much penalty shouts as what wasn't called against Kaltak last week. Even then, they controlled the game and a penalty sadly would not have not been enough to give us any momentum.

They played quick, we played slow. predictable outcome. They got thier defense behind the ball and waited for us to over commit.

The xG stat surprised me a bit, since I don't think the own goal counts towards it?

 

[scoober]

Own Goal will surely get golden our boot this year, at least 5 clear of our next highest scorer. I wonder what his transfer value is.....

 

[Wombat]

We went better once the subs were on. Muaragis was back to being a liability again tonight.

Paull was the highlight again. Kuz did some great stuff apart from giving that ball away. Faisal and Alfie were much more effective than the players they replaced. DPC did ok.
We battled hard but lack quality.

Our of contract, will walk for free.

Funny game football, in which the ecstasy in the unexpected is an integral part.
Anyway...View attachment 3803I'd happily be at Our Paradise to watch the sunset hues even without a game!

It was actually quite beautiful, great photo!!!!

 

[Meerkat]

That wasn't as shit as I thought it would be. And then there was the second half.

Literally this.

 

[Paolo]

Give Duarte a start.

 

[Corsair]

Just watched the mini match. Our defense was atrocious. Some great saves from DPC and some close misses up front. We had some good spells but still turning the ball over cheaply far too much, not marking in defense, not fit enough and don't have enough mature players.

 

[shipwreck]

I tried to stay awake for this after night Flying and drifted off around 2am.

First time the Mariners have put me to sleep for a long time 🥺

 

[Ironbark]

Agree.
It's one of those game where we look to have potential to take something from the game but will then go and cough up goals to stupid errors

Game went exactly to plan as expected

 

[BrisRecky]

i'd shake my head at how crap we are , but my f**king neck hurts enough already

I thought there were plenty of positives from last night. We were playing a very good football side.

When Kuol went off the movement and interplay was the best I have seen all season. Sash and Mauragis added so much to this attack and interplay but also weakened us defensively.

Miggsy and Heames are getting better every week and they were brilliant last night. The subs added to our play fit the first time this season.

I had a good chat to Simon Hill post game last night and said to him I believed the biggest change from last season was our fitness and injury list. He was unaware our Head of Performance lived in Melbourne and zooms in to staff at Tuggerah.

Last two seasons we ran over teams in the last twenty. This season teams are over running us.

Still, I was not too dismayed about last night. I am actually quite buoyant to see what Duarte, Miggsy and Doka could achieve together, with the support of Sash and Mauragis.
