Round 13 - CCM v Nix @ Gosford - NYE

[VicMariner]

It is a should win game tonight. A disaster if we don't.

Have a great new years game everyone. 3 points Hurrah!!

 

[Big Al]

As per Wombats line up

No Trent on bench. Won’t see him for a while with the under 23’s thing but has been ordinary

 

[Pirate Pete]

Can the nix handle the humidity tonight? Will be a shock to them.

We won’t be able to press all night either

Not that humid anymore. Winds picking up so they'll be used to that.
I presume three keepers warm up in case one gets injured warming up

 

[true believer]

Gee its hard to be working . We're bound to play well . ... sob

 

[Gratis]

If we win enjoy it - it'll be our last for a few weeks.
I can't watch tonight and don't know if I can get to a replay

 

[tim...]

Getting into some good areas, just gotta finish them off. Hoole and Asdrubal lacking accuracy

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Nice team today lets go get this

Yep, this is as strong as we get currently. Time to get back to winning ways and lift some spirits.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Damn it Im overseas and my stream died anyone have one??

 

[tim...]

Disappointing half in all, glad we're not yet behind.

Great to see YA get the Stop the Rot banner up during the half

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Poor half in attack and we owe Kennedy a debt in defence. Only luck that we're not down. Lions share of possession but Wellington with all the shots... tells a similar story really.

I like McGing playing percentage football and winning us corners, just wish we had someone who looked like scoring from them.

Hoping for a game of two halves and we see a stronger performance next half.

 

[Holy]

Very frustrating 1st half. We are very static with little intensity.

If we were playing Syd FC we'd be 4-0 down, so thank god Wellington are off their game too.

Cmon boys, big second half!

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Turned on at the 23rd minute as I didn't realise the time, we have been sluggish and moving the ball far too slowly. If we continue like this Wellington will easily beat us.

 

[tim...]

Tempo much better in the second half but by gosh we're awful in front of goal. Where did our ability to score disappear to?

Hoole hoggin the ball.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Well... much much better second half. But we cannot score. Final ball, smarts in the box and a deadly striker all missing.

Shame.

Happy New Years CCM fans family. Tomorrow is a new year, new signings, new fortunes me hopes.

Best FP

Did we ever have an ability to score? That was hard to watch. No ability to get shots on goal at all. I think the first half we had 60% of the ball and they had 14 shots to our 2.
We've got a signing announcement tomorrow apparently. Australian player to make up for missing 3 at the olyroos tournie.
Appiah gets to the box brilliantly but has nothing as a final ball or shot. Disappointing cause if he did he'd be great.
Our set piece delivery is really lacking. 4 different corner takers in 4 corners after Hoole went off and none worthy of the spot. Neither is Hoole for that matter. I dont think ive ever seen us turn over so much ball without pressure. Just fundamental stuff. The system is working in regards to getting into good positions but not for delivering shots on goal or any type of shot really.

 

[tim...]

Ugh. Need to find a finisher. Two players in January pls

 

[nebakke]

*sigh* the new player talk sounded good though - until they said Australian - can't think of anyone unsigned right now who could fix this mess of an attack.
Then again, I also don't think attack would be an issue this season so that shows what i know.
Anyway, Happy New Year everyone, may it be an awesome one!

We beat this mob 4-1 just a month or so ago. I get shit is ordinary right now but don't pretend half the season didn't happen.

 

[true believer]

Im glad i only had to listen to that
As i probably would of had to gouge out my eye's .
Whats tim cahill doing ? F'k ! Anything
