Posession based?? Maybe check the stats. Before they lost a player we were well down on posession. The first 20 mins it was 80 20 against us.

Mate the point with reference to 'Possession based' is a reference to protecting possession at a cost of impetus, it has nothing to do with possession of the ball.

We'd win the ball, press to the middle third, and turn the ball back, pure shit.

Torn about this game. We played some shit hot passages. But mostly abject dross. Should have scored 2 in the first 10mins but can't defend the counter. Moved the ball around well in their final third then pumped a long shot about 20m above the goal.

There's the ghosts of last seasons style there but whether we're trying to ball that or change our style I dunno. Playing like a team who have just been whacked together.

Stop it. The shit Wilson is coping is making us look like absolute dicks. He's got skills. He just needs to be played in the right spot.

f**king thought Wilson got us the goal there
Firstly it was an observation about the general reaction around me to him coming on. I’m not in bay 16 so the sentiment must be relatively widespread.

Secondly I barely gave him any flak. He wasn’t energetic or direct enough, did put in a couple of decent switches but he wasn’t going to drag us to a point like you want a fresh sun to do, and that’s before we even look at how many times he ran himself offside unnecessarily. I want him to succeed and was excited when he joined but it’s just not working atm.

Waddingham...... Great to see young Australian strikers doing well.

Looking at the stats we should have won that. More shots and more shots on goal. With the way this comp is going we can still make the finals and the way we are playing we can still win it. New gaffer and new team literally weeks out from the start. I'll take a shit season with a continental trophy. We are still playing great football.

Sounds like the same old diatribe I heard when we had Okon

I really thought they were checking the foul that clipped Steele but I firmly believe that wasn’t even in the consideration.
I was really disappointed that it doesn’t seem to matter Steele was being pulled back and the contribution of the roar player behind him was ignored. Yes it was a bad tackle but if someone pulls you back slightly it throws everything out of whack and the natural reaction is the foot comes up,

Agreed. If it was a goal scoring opp, you go back to the first foul.

But that's not the case here. It was a very bad challenge no matter what happened before.
