Rd 14 v Victory

[marinermick]

It is an obvious statement but I suspect our fortunes tonight are almost entirely dependent on the Victory team that will or won’t turn up. Much more so than other games we have played this season.

I think the stat was 81% of their goals Ola is involved. That's a massive loss for them.

First few weeks it was 100%.

Now the others are getting healthy and regular time and they are starting to play well again as a team

Will be a tough assignment.

Our attack needs to shoot ans convert our opportunities

match is an hour off, not even 2 full threads. I'm sensing a general lack of enthusiasm....

 

[Coastalraider]

I just got excited because I thought kickoff was at 5.
Another let down....

Just arrived a bit earlier than usual at my usual parking spot. It's very quiet.
Low crowd today

Arguably our best starting 11. I like SS as an impact sub mid-way through the 2nd half. If we can keep Kruse and Nabbout quiet, I think we have a really good chance here.

Their bench is rubbish as well.

Just arrived at the ground. COYY!

 

[Pirate Pete]

Shaun on the radio now.
Tommy has not signed at Campbelltown..... At the moment

Our seasons done.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

utterly pathetic. The least they could do is LOOK like they don't want the spoon.
With defence like that, there's absolutely no reason why we should ever not lose a game.

 

[Drew]

very bad start to the game, we haven't showed up and are getting dominated, need to up the tempo fast or we are gonna get smashed

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

we're looking like a state league team right now

"Jair waits at the back post" says the commentator
"I didn't even realise he was playing", says I

 

[Ads]

Last 15 good passing.
Just not quick enough to create those better opportunities.

 

[shipwreck]

We're a bad football team. We don't even look like scoring and we're playing with one less defender and an extra attacker.

 

[shipwreck]

DDS is shit too. All flash, Min impact

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Our off-the-ball movement in attack is shocking....though can usually be described as non-existent. It's just terrible.
Also, there's a lot of subtlety in football. The way you can move to draw defenders out of position, even to bluff and make them think you're going to do something different in order to create space - and those bluffs can take all game to set up.
I don't think we have any attackers who know how to do that - but it's a key difference between state league (and let's be honest, NPL is state league) and professional football

DDS is shit too. All flash, Min impact

he's not doing well. That header, for instance - needs to be on target.
Murray is just....no better than Simon

f**king get in Muzz!!! Just before half!!!!

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

we look like a team that's already accepted the spoon.
Who wants to bet we'll give away a penalty?

f**king get in Muzz!!! Just before half!!!!
