Round 2 Methcarthur away

[Big Al]

Actually think Nizzy is having a bad game but that one moment of class and composure has us in front. Good players can still effect a game when not playing well

Where did they get two minutes from?
I've been waiting for a break to get a beer.

Very happy with that half of football. Could have had a couple more. Shame Kuol couldn’t get a bit more on it. Same goes for Matty’s first strike.

Second half legs for a bunch of key players now is my fear. Staj has got a lot right so far. But these subs are going to be tough ones to make. As a coach you wouldn’t want to make any changes the way things are. Very interested to see what he does.

tough test coming with Rose and Benat going to be coming on they’re going to go at us.

hate to make comparisons to Messi but you can't underrate a player because they're short. Hes got serious tekkas. Just needs to learn to shoot and dribble at players with the jets on.

you see it constantly, blokes think they can out muscle him to keep the ball and he mugs them off every time


Great half anyway, the mental steel is there and nothing horrific. The defensive block is very effective. Matty ruined a few counters but that’s to be expected. Kuol will probably come off now going of what staj said, I’d say for smylie or casella and that’s a bad thing for the bulls CB’s.
Definitey not over, but we’re well in this.

yeah the subs will be crucial.
I thought we lost our way for a good five minutes after the first subs came on the other night.

The structure has been great so far. As Bozza noted, two blocks of four are blocking most options. Obviously, they think Clisby is a weakness though. Lovely goal, Credit to Nigro, Nesbet and DDS for it. Tongyik very solid. Now we need to kill it off.

Yeah I thought so too. We recovered and rode it out and then DDS Miller and Smylie all helped. But it definitely unsettled us for a few minutes as we adjusted.

Good 1st half. Hope concentration stays in the 2nd.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Yeah that’s the key. fatigue is the enemy,

Much better structure to play the better teams.
Wait for opportunities and hold our lines.

Still a few instances we should have not booted it and kept possession but on the other hand it’s still early days and need to keep building the confidence.

But we still look more confident playing it out and seem to mix it up, which is catching them off guard every now and then.

Bus parked?

Real competition for our RB spot, very happy with that

good move bring koul off .i believe the nastys would have targeted him for a 2nd yellow .

 

[Big Al]

When you know your opponent has a weakness you can over play it like Macathur are doing and it makes it easier to defend. As everyone can cover. It’s when the game is broken that Clisby gets caught out most and there is no help. The more they come down the left the better for us

Miller < Nigro

don’t be so sure. I like Nigro but Lewis has 100% improved. We’re not losing anything if one plays over the other.
