R7 v WSW away

[Insertnamehere]

Your right imo we haven’t looked unfit.
But we have had a few injuries. Are they fitness or bad luck?

Skill wise we look 2nd rate

Haven't played with enough conviction to look unfit. Using the tram analogy we haven't left the station yet so the ticket hasn't been checked.

I don’t know, the fight is the only thing I think I can say I’ve seen consistently for more than a few minutes.

I don’t think heart is our issue. But love the tram analogy after my typo

For me it’s keeper - sub par
Back line - too much change, with not enough time to figure it out suitably in advance. I’m not convinced Cisse won’t do better again. He’s had several decent to good games imo so far. We’ve unearthed Millar and Rowles. But Clisby should not have been dropped. Golec needs to find form and is a liability until he does.

Next major issue. No control of the middle of the park. In modern football lose this, lose most games. And it’s not just Melling it’s a lack of a proper ten. Specialist position, None of the experiments have worked barring Hoole for about 20 minutes against a tiring side.

Strikers... Ross was not fully match fit and was missing the service - as well as the kind of possession that increases the likelihood of getting some, and is now out injured. Even if he’s back in five weeks. Will take him another 4 to get match fit. We’ll probably only have ten games left by then. Really wish Murray didn’t get injured too. This could of been his big chance. Ditto Gameiro. I think Matty has been playing well for us, but he’s not going to be prolific enough for us.

Just too many piss poor signings on injury prone players.

On a positive note, Aspropotamitis got 65 minutes in the NYL game and looked good. Tommy came off at half time and was seen with ice on his calf after, although he indicated it was nothing serious but I can see that being used as a pretence for him being left out for the Nix game. It was notable that the NYL boys conceded two goals after both had left the field. Tommy looked very sharp in the middle and Aspro looks really comfortable on the ball, so we could defitely use the two of them at the moment.

Still feeling particularly gutted about the result and performance on Friday and I am really concerned that the team’s belief is ebbing away rapidly, despite what they may all be saying in the press. Losing can become habitual and I can almost feel the weight of the last few seasons coming to bear on us again.

Not sure 2nd rate is accurate, but need to qualify as to not completely offend. A few of the guys have been thrown under the bus because of injury probs when they really needed to be trained up.

Not this years a-league standard ???? ............ would make us 2nd rate and that falls to mm and mc rather than the players who succumbed to having a contract waved under their noses.

When they can string two passses together I’ll worry about their injuries effecting performance
