FFA Cup 2019

f**k I hope GG and Tongyik are okay. We have no centre backs left.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

FFS 3 free headers and our so called striker could not put any away. And by free I mean no one within cooee.

Old, slow, cannot score. Sorry now a waste of space.

Tongyik off injured, with Moric coming on and Matt Simon going into the back line as a CB! Now that’s a Plan B if ever I saw one eh Okon?

At least we know that Matty will be able to head the ball wide or over in the penalty box.....

Matt Simon is currently centre back for the last 10.

Why wasn’t Lewis Miller on the bench? Why no defensive cover on the bench? You’re better than that Staj!!!

78 gone Moric on for Tongyik Simon playing Rb... interrsting

 

[garlo]

Would’ve been good to have Glassock right about now

 

[style_cafe]

Good effort by Maitland only to shoot wide

 

[Ozhammer]

Everyone strap in for the Mariners final 10 minutes roller coaster ride....

We are lucky we played Maitland tonight. We would have lost against a NSWPL and VPL club.

wtf....Simon isn't a back. This can't ever happen again. That's not even a criticism of Simon....(though if he doesn't improve, he may even find a bench spot is a struggle)

Would have been a different game if it was against a different team. We've done enough in this game - that doesn't mean we couldn't have done more against different opponents

Simon actually doing well at Cb

 

[Ozhammer]

Aaaand then he coughs up the ball in a dangerous area....

Silvera just put the ball on a golden plated platter for matty who’s FREE header went wide.

x3 of those. Looks better at CB.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Nizzy has looked very assured since coming in and his ball security is light years ahead of Melling for mine.

Definitely. Melling looked like his old self tonight. Shame, he had been looking like he was really moving forward.

Solid win. Silvera my MOM. DDS very good also but clearly not 90 minutes fit yet.

 

[Holy]

Happy we won, disappointing we couldn’t put the sword to them

 

[true believer]

Its a monkey off our back .
The glass is 51% full

If we had had a striker on the park we would have scored 6.

A bit harsh, but I kn ow what you mean. 2 up after 10 mins, we should have put them to the sword, and Maitland had a few too many opportunities

 

[Elite]

Reasonably happy overall - clearly fitness is an issue but we are still early days in pre-season. Solid win. Wasn't pretty at times, especially in the second half but got the result.

Like years gone by, we are still in desperate need of a out and out finisher who will slot away their opportunities.
