Rd 8 CCM v WSW

[dibo]

Castelen was the best player on the park by some distance. He could've put the game beyond reach. Simply a class above.

Glad I missed this one. That's our season I'm afraid to say, bottom two finish.

We can't win with the woeful, biased, corrupt mongrel bunch of refs and blind linesman we get at our home games, absolutely impossible to make a mark with these scum that consider themselves gods!

 

[sydmariner]

can anyone confirm if hektik hektor got an ffa ban for coming into bay 16 cos i know there was an incident when he left the bay

 

[pjennings]

Did anybody consider we were hard done by with first goal against us I'm in bay 37 and I really thought that goal was OFFSIDE the linesman wasn't within cooee of being able to give a fair adjudication .

I thought he was offside live. The replay showed that he was definitely onside with a well timed run.

BS on the crowd figure of 10,6?? FFS was close to. 25 K IMO

Thank God he can't shoot or we would have lost 4 .0.

Defo bullshit crowd figure. Looked about 13k.

I saw him talking to Shawn but it seamed amicable but then I got back to the Football. I did see him trying to get into the leagues when i went "to see a man about a dog" about 80min mark.

There were 5k more people than the stadium holds?

Easily our worst game if the season. Toothless and flat.

The defence worked hard and McGing was outstanding but I still don't understand why they all wander away from the player they are marking when the wanderers have the ball.
Credit to Storm for proper defending when he got a crucial challenge in to stop a certain goal in the first half.
How could you leave Nichols unmarked in the box 8 yards out. Again its under 10 stuff.

I haven't seen a replay so ill do the best i can from what i saw from BAY17.

Izzo 7.5. Swept really well.
Roux 6.5. Seamed more switched on.
McGing 7.5. Impressive.
Posco 6.5. Worked hard but passing not as good as normal and needs to tighten up.
Neill 4. Saved by the post. Needs to spend the whole season in Yoof learning how to play fullback. Rose is far better LB.
Rose 6. Much prefer him at LB. Did ok but can't cross a ball.
Monty 6.5. Not bad.
Cameras 5.5. Needs a testosterone injection before the game.
Fitz 5. Poor.
Heff 6. Didn't impress but nearly got a rebound. Did well to hustle the defender down by corner flag.
Roy 7. Nearly got a wonder rebound after closing down the keeper brilliantly.

Subs.

Sim 8. My God he was excellent. Needs to start at LM whenever Austin is out and needs to come on final 20 mins when Austin starts. MOM.
Bing and Rose looked ok. Bing has good potential.

The break for their 1st was down to Caceres not trying to tackle back and giving up when he lost the ball.

(I think it was him)

It was. He made a nice run, beat a player, and tried to beat two more and lost the ball (I was shocked, that never happens).

Then when they took the ball upfield he was a spectator (shocked again).

Nice moments, nice touches, but really frustrating and just looks lazy sometimes. (Still) don't buy the hype.

 

[FFC Mariner]

As long as whoever is about to give us a cheque believes it, I can live with it

 

[true believer]

Bing has good potential.

I like this guy the more I see him

I agree with the comments above. Wombat pretty much nailed it in his summary. For me, Izzo was MOM, but Sim really added some spark when he come on. Deserves a start. Whether or not he will have the same impact playing a full game, compared to being a super-sub remains to be seen. I'd be pusshing Rose the Elder back to LB and starting Sim on the wing. Fitzy... back the the bench, Neill... back to Youth.

Castelen was somthing else. We should've been heading into half time 3-0 down... maybe 3-1 if the footballing gods were smiling on us (which they were, as the score was 0-0 at half time).

The problem with us is that we want to play champagne football, but we just dont have the quality to do it. Apart from Monty and Fab, who else is there with genuine class to give us that edge that someone like Castelen gave WSW?

I'm definitely a Warmsely supporter, he's doing the best he can with the cattle he's got. The problem is, neither he or Charlseworth seem to be pragmatic.

Football is a viscious cycle... crowds --> money --> superstars --> entertainment --> success --> crowds -->... and so it goes on.

We need to open the purse strings... spend money to make money. A decent CB would be nice, but lets get another Perez.

Reasonable summary but harsh on Monty and Posco and generous to Heff.

View from a different part of the stands.
Monty 7.5
Posco 7.0
Heff 4.5

Somebody online said that he was already on the ban list, which is why he got turfed out.
Now, he got turfed out after his image/video was posted on facebook, as I understand. I suspect that means Gestapo, I mean, Hatomoto monitor social media during games, Unless the coppers nearby just happened to recognise him.

 

[soccer mad]

I,m hanging on by a thread here I'm trying some positivism ,the last 25 min when we chasing the game we were the most enterprising yesterday. The most direct player was Castalan and he ripped us apart for 75 min. Anyway we'll see what the lucky dip will bring next game

 

[FFC Mariner]

Sadly, despite my high hopes, it doesnt look like Heff 2.0 is going to cut it.

Shame but this is a ruthless business.

Taking the extra man out of midfield was a tactical balls up as they ripped us to shreds through the middle.

Give bingers a run and she if he is anymore effective than our irishman?

 

[midfielder]

Gotta say for the first time I started to worry today... for the most part our players gave it their all and the Drive Bys seemed in a lower gear...

We are starting to look more like a good NPl side rather than an A-League side if we sell AC .... hhhhmmmmm

Dim had a great game and should be in our starting sides and TBH that shows we are as I said a great NPL side ..
