NYE double header vs Cold Hearted Killers

[Corsair]

Paull is playing pretty well. There I said it!

 

[turbo]

I’m less concerned about the goal than I am about any attacking threat at all. Unless I missed something that’s 0 shots for the half and their keeper is going on excursions because he’s bored.

 

[LG__]

433 please.

How do those who couldn’t wait for Sains to come into team feeling now. What ever we are paying him it’s too much.

Okon era was more exciting than this rubbish.

Even when sitting deep, no counterattack opportunities.

They have our setup to close our wing backs and flick ons and we have to go long ball Larry’s.

Will be interesting to see if we change.

Dull as dishwater half

Cohen being forced off is a big help, so hopefully a formation tweak and kick up the arse at HT, will see the boys come out with more intent after the restart.

Not sure what we're trying to accomplish with the Back 5, Smith and Roux either aren't fit\quick\confident enough to get forward so we're stuck in our back half.

Trent isn't a defensive midfielder and he simply doesn't have the pace to get back, and frankly doesn't look match ready.

If Trent isn't ready for signifcant minutes why are we hamfisting him into the lineup, in an unfamiliar position, and actively killing any attacking potential we have.

 

[scoober]

Sorry if that all have you have mentioned already but that half is about as negative as you can get. Wtf. f**king awful. Zero outlets

all smacks of discontent in the dressing room

Sains clearly off the pace, going to take a few weeks to get match fit and dialled in. Signs of his experience in his vision and awareness of other players positions but worryingly looks well off the pace. Benefit of the doubt given his recent injury spell but if his fitness doesn't lift the bench looms...

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Quite frankly to set up so defensively, for argurably our biggest home game outside of a F3 derby, is pretty depressing.

I think it’s time to accept Sains means giving Paull or Kaltak a spell on the bench and playing the other at LCB. On current form it could be Kaltak that’s more deserving of a rest.

Sains getting scapegoat status is not a prediction I would have made at the start of 2024.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Steeley looked gassed by 30 minutes and just stopped getting back into shape. Doka desperately pleading for Smith/Steele to press and just ignored.

Last few years we played a system/systems that suited the players at the club , this year... ??? Our history shows you can only play to the level your players are up too.
This year was going to be tough we knew that , but to play a back 5 to insert players who are not up to it and then play others out of position to accomodate them is crazy ..... get possession pass sideways / backwards is not the answer , everyone can see the way sucessful teams play , to say I'm gutted is an understatement .
I believe as always ,
but at the very least get agressive , go forward , get stuck in and have a bloody Mariners go

 

[turbo]

Wilson now our most dangerous attacker somehow

 

[shipwreck]

The new handball rule confused me

Kuol sucks.
