R4: WSW v CCM @ Spotless

[Pirate Pete]

0 - 1 after 83 secs. Geez, that's hardly a compliment!

I was typing more about the football we were playing AFTER the horrendous start.
At least we're getting the ball into the box this week.

 

[shipwreck]

Bingham on for Powell?

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Always extremes with you coach. Not a superstar - but no pariah either. First goal was a great ball and the line being set too high if anything - which is not set by him.
Looks better than Neil imo. So that's a net gain.

Yes. I agree. Was just taking the piss. Just like Zelic is doing to us.

 

[Wombat]

I've had a bit to drink, but am I right in thinking this is probably the best we've played this season?

Coming off a f**king low base.......

 

[nebakke]

Right... Come on boys - f**king GET IT TOGETHER!!!

 

[Wombat]

Yes. But if he does one good thing he will be a superstar no doubt. Out of position constantly, shows no drive forward, he is getting a bath

Who?....if you are talking about Galloway you are talking shit.
The boy is way better and more composed than Neill.
Who do you coach Woy Woy u7c?

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Why does Faty tackle like he's never played the game before? Also probably lucky to not be sent

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I mean, sometimes refereeing Futsal, or even low grade mens, I'd be refereeing a bunch of blokes, probably footy blokes wanting to stay fit. Never played the game before so they think a tackle is just throwing themselves at the player and as long as the ball is somewhere involved it's fine.

Faty should not be tackling like a low grade aussie rules player who's never played before and doesn't really watch it but picked up the game just to stay fit and because there's nothing better to do on a Tuesday night.

 

[nebakke]

MY GOD THIS IS FRUSTRATING TO WATCH!... They start working together a bit, start looking like something, then completely bollocks it up when it really matters

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

yep. It's a worry, but I don't think there's a single area of the field where we don't desperately need at least one good player......

That throw in...omfg

While I don't disagree, I reckon a decent CAM would make an immense difference in getting the ball to Royo... BERRYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

 

[Timmah]

STRAW, GOOSE, BLUE, MUL


I DON'T CARE WHICH - he's a GREAT BERRY!

 

[Pirate Pete]

We deserved that. Good job Redmayne went in feet first.

Yeah but.....who's he going to give the ball to?
He gets in the right spots but he can't shoot.

 

[Pirate Pete]

Izzo and faty injured?

Who was that warming up then? Being shown the play book?

 

[nebakke]

God - do these guys not read the stories of the players... Pearce debuted against Wanderers last season...

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

while refereeing, I see so many goals given away by keepers not wanting to give away an IFK.
Seriously, if you're stuck with a backpass like that and you might not be able to get to it first....just make sure of it, get a hand on it, then deal with the indirect free kick that is much less likely to result in a goal.
I guess keepers are so used to worrying about the backpass that they don't think about it from that angle in the heat of the moment.
But it is always important to capitalise on those mistakes, and we certainly did that. Pressure, and good tackle.

He did alright last season... Needs the ball in order to actually be able to shoot...

I think he'd have got a kick in the head and a free kick if he went for it with his hands.
