Round 21 - CCM v Nix at Gosford (Friday night)

[Forum Phoenix]

Great to get the 3 points, but....it was only just, against possibly the worst opposition in the A-Leage ever. Our second half was dire.
Still a long, long way to go before we can go home with a smile.

Yeah, I know dogs bark but lot of comments on social media about how dire we both were and need pro rel and our crowds... kick us out of the league again etc...

This is the other reason that A) it’s been brutal being a CCM fan apart fron all the losses and B) the austerity approach for sustainability is surely not sustainable in some other regards.

Austerity is never sustainable nor economically rational, ask Greece. Actually ask a mariners supporter

So we squeak a 1-0 win over the bottom side and the boys get four days off? Hmmm

Well they had a break last week so they might be tired
Probably going superstitious. We won we have a bye and playing another shit team. Rinse and repeat.

How stupid is two split rounds in a row for teams not in the ACL.

IMO Trent had a huge game tonight... his runs were clever... he kept the ball and when he passed the ball mostly he found his mark... I think he still panic's a bit running at full speed onto the ball...

He played all his early Football as a striker I would love PO to give him a couple of games as the striker with Pain & Hoole as his wingers ...

Especially as skipee isn't quick nor fit

It's just that last ball, rather than cutting back he should be hitting a cross across the back four looking for the striker. I'd rather see that then losing the ball at the corner of the box.

Absolutely and while everyone is still running back and does not have time to turn. put it in and give the striker something to attack and run onto. Should be playing Beckham or Giggs to these guys on repeat, not Messi and Ronaldo who are capable of cutting back inside and skinning everyone.

Again, shows little regard to the actual fans / customers. (In response to the last line FFA I mean)

I`m so f**king happy with result.
It`s taken almost 2 years of hard work & yelling /screaming but they finally got the timeclock & teams in the correct place on the big screen!!!
Fantastic effort to all those involved in making it happen & I sincerely hope it`s a permanent home for them.

As for the game,yeah pretty ordinary, but a win is a win.
I thought Hoole was deservedly MOM,although not everything went his way it really was a great effort,especially the tracking back that saved our arses.
It was only minutes before the goal I made the comment that our strikers were not making the runs to receive the crosses.
It happens a lot to under-performing teams.
Players hide behind defenders so they don`t receive the ball & stuff it up. It`s commonly known in coaching circles as "hiding in the outfield".
DDS must have heard me as moments later he corrected his run & scored.
Probably the only time in the game that we did this but it had the desired effect.

The clock is an additional digital screen on top of the new screen.

Still it looks boss now.

So Tommy and the Screen are two good things to come out of this year.

Oh and Golec, I like you. But never, ever, back heel again.

. is that what that was?

. i was having Tony Vidmar flashbacks - but i was informed by those around me i was being unfair to Vidmar

 

[TedShot]

Oh and Golec, I like you. But never, ever, back heel again.

I mean, to be fair, it was just as effective as 99% of passes attempted by Wales and Roux... It was awful and went immediately to the opposition.

 

[bikinigirl]

. it's just a shame that i remember seeing a graphic during the Olympic coverage where it listed his birthplace as Gosford and his favourite sporting teams as some AFL and NRL teams

 

[Timmah]

So what?

Yeah work on some tactics maybe, you could do a whole day instead of 25 mins.
