[sydmariner]

It was fun while it lasted.

 

[true believer]

oh ffs

 

[shipwreck]

f**k me dead Paull

 

[Josho Howe]

Shocking goal to concede after getting back in it. God damn.

 

[Josho Howe]

How we miss Sains...especially in these tough ACL away games.

 

[Drew]

need sash, Eames and ngor, to try and throw everything at it in hope for an equaliser

 

[Burko131]

Terrible decision by paull, but we continue to pay a very high price for the gamble of not going getting a keeper with some sort of experience.

You can blame Rich for that and his obsession with thinking he will make millions off selling young keepers... And then promptly bailing on us

 

[Huddo]

What was Paull thinking?

 

[Tevor]

Well that pretty much much sums up the ACL. Our favourite score line.

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

Get Ngor on asap for his directness.

Well I was wrong there too. He has been very poor in the limited time on.

 

[Josho Howe]

Boys deserved a point for their effort. Cruel game sometimes.

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

Played so well to get back into the game, and we played quite well after a rocky start. A silly og and a howler cost us big time. Sadly we need a miracle now.

 

[Tevor]

It’s going to be a long season unfortunately.

 

[Spacks]

young mariners goalkeepers and the occasional howler, name a more iconic duo xD

 

[Josho Howe]

The top team in Japan right now in a massively stronger league than ours only beat us from a mistake. We were outclassed but held our own. Proud of the lads.

Yep. You have his ar swing, Kaltak doing his usual thing of standing in the middle of the pitch doing absolutely nothing and keeping players onside, and PC having a shocking miss.
Hopefully PC can work on that and never concede that sort of goal again.
Painful goal to concede.

Paull and Kaltak are a terrible pairing.


Roux's own goal was such a classic case of being so focused on trying to borderline foul his opponent he forgot about the ball.

Overall we punched above our weight tonight. Kind of makes the result move painful.

I honestly thought we'd get smashed

Kaltak has to be tight there. You can't sweep in the box. He spends a lot of time not marking anyone. Paull's man was the one he stepped out to.

We did okay against the current J1 champions, J League leaders, ACL leaders and the Emperors Cup winners. We started slow but are building, we have a thin squad and a number of injuries. Plenty of time for better things to come in the ALM.

I kinda got the feeling they didn’t expect much from us and subsequently found themselves dropping to our level in parts. I don’t think this was their best effort or showing.

That said, i absolutely thought we would get smashed. So there is that.

Hard to be super optimistic when we have such piss poor defending and still have starting strikers who absolutely can’t strike. The goals are going to be few and far between and when we can’t adequately defend, that leaves us ripe for the picking.

Anyhow. Ce La vie. Expectations are very minimal at this point so the disappointment is getting easier to take.
