R5: Adelaide v CCM

[FFC Mariner]

What I loved (apart from strolling to 3 well deserved points) was our clever game management. Slowing it down, clever fouls, we looked like a grown up team again.

The penalty was another sign how badly we are screaming for another decent CB. They play with 1 up front but Storm had to come across. Not good enough.

We dont have a 10 and the Powell experiment needs to end sooner rather than later but.....where did Pain find that FFS?

We look like a bloody team again. I havent stood for the last 15 minutes and paced my lounge for a while now.

f**king get in

That Perth comeback can't be underestimated.

That game we were horrible in 1st half but had a crack after halftime and got success while still giving up easy chances.

The boys seem to be really scared in 1st halves like we read the paper we are shit like last year and make terrible mistakes,
But now the seem to come out and go wow we not 4-0 down we still in this and have a go. Getting rewarded for the attitude and winning is so important to continuing these trajectory.

Still a lot of work to do but how good could we be with more confidence.. When we start playing quicker because it's second nature we will be good to watch

You know your audience Ancient Mariner - that would be missed by a lot on twitter and facebook - but hits the mark here at the old farts' forum!!

About 70min commentary said we could win and me and the misses touched all the wood within 2metres of us, then out of the chairs for last couple minutes, the joy of winning

So, here's a question:
What in the name of Pele does Okon do to these blokes at halftime?????

 

[sydmariner]

Win? I don't know the meaning of that word...

what word ?

 

[Tevor]

It's not only nice to have that winning feeling but also to read the excitement that we all felt today in a fine performance by the boys. In Okon I trust.

 

[true believer]

I need time to process this.
Not just that we won - but we were playing some sexy football. Not all the time, but our defence was looking a lot better, attack in the second half, changed it up. Izzo....Izzo is a new man!

izzo is an alien

 

[Tevor]

izzo is an alien

We just need them to also abduct McGing!

[ballantyne]

What a feeling! its so much better than I hoped. Solid win: defended well, two shots on target 2 goals. COYY

 

[Wombat]

We are shit, our results speak Volumes. But we are improving and Paul Okon looks like a good coach.
I am optimistic.

Smart arse Adz

 

[shipwreck]

Back it up with a win against an in form and confident Wellington, we should be set up nicely for the run of home games.

 

[Big Al]

Izzo in Bozza team of the week. Calm down shits out of hand now

Connar in there as well, but that's deserved

 

[dibo]

You kidding? Izzo was out and out fantastic.

 

[Wombat]

Two different teams!!! Shite in the first dominant in the second.
Like Fulham said.....finally showing some intelligence as well.
Defence still a worry although I thought Faty was immense tonight and I loved the natural confidence of Galloway, especially as he had a tough first 20 mins.

 

[Gratis]

I've seen enough - give Okon a ten year contract and convince him to see it out

 

[Wombat]

So, here's a question:
What in the name of Pele does Okon do to these blokes at halftime?????

Can he do the same at the beginning?
