Rd 6 v Adelaide (home)

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

this has been 'last season' level defending.
We're creating some attacks which is something, but we're not controlling the play through the mids - and our back line, they should all be utterly disgusted with themselves. If T isn't subbed off at half time, then the next goal is on Staj

 

[Michael]

You know what, GG, Stens, Tommy, Milan and Sammy have done their jobs. Ziggy and, aside from one good cross, Clisby have been horrific. Ruon too. Fox I don’t think has been bad but when the 3 other blokes in your backline are struggling you look just as bad.
Adelaides goals have been good, you can’t argue that. But we’ve proved we can deal with that until last week.
Our impressions that we finally had a solid back line can now be thrown in the bin.
And now our need for a striker with some cutting edge are that much more desperate. Muzz has been fed a few times today and yeah a few slightly over hit crosses too, but he needs to so much sharper in general. I’m not that confident when he’s receiving the ball right now.

Looking athe subs warming up one player is going through a thorough warm up. Now going down the tunnel. Sub soon?

 

[FFC Mariner]

So, no active support at all today? I've had naps livelier than this crowd. Where's the Coastie Crew? @Justin Cooney

There are some kids at the front but you can't hear anything from the W Stand
Is that them?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Clisby and Gordon have been awful. When did we re sign Cisse?

 

[true believer]

Very poor fox isnt happy on the left .

 

[turbo]

I’d consider bringing Ziggy in to the middle and getting another RB (Miller?) on. Ziggy has been our best back today but that’s not a high bar. But we likely need to use our subs in attack.

 

[turbo]

And as soon as I say that it happens.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

seriously worried about losing 5 or 6 here.
Disappointed that Fox is off and not Cisse 2.0

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Cisse 2.0 literally just stepped over that AU FK running through the box. Did he bet on AU today or something?????

 

[FFC Mariner]

No. He's just shit.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Miller >>>> Ziggy so far

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I kind of feel like we need Simon - but the Simon who runs back to defend as well.
The following sentence is unrelated to the first one.
Muzz will never be a key striker. He might make a squaddie, but he isn't there yet. He's been getting in the right positions at times, but he doesn't have the x-factor.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Cisse 2.0 gets beat in mids, looks up, an AU player is 5 yards ahead of him. So Cisse 3.0 (I forgot that the Pommy one we had last year was Cisse 2.0) just jogs along to match pace behind. Laziest bloody player out there. You can't have lazy defenders.

 

[Pirate Pete]

Kim & Simon warming up now

 

[turbo]

I kind of feel like we need Simon

We’ve broken you Captain. We need to chase this game not park the bus 2 down.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

lol.....rose coloured glasses maybe. I'd be happy with a Simon who tries to get on the end of headers, drops back to defend, but doesn't touch the ball at all in the buildup for attack. Is that a reasonable request?

 

[Michael]

Well done Birra

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

shit.....that's a bit unfortunate. Clear pen. Not a lot in it, but can't argue there, just a bit careless. 2nd pen that GG has given away this season.

I can't even celebrate the save after what happened last time. It's only when the throw is taken that I know we're safe

 

[Michael]

They are genuinely scared when sammy gets it in the attacking 3rd
