From what I saw of the game (we watched up to the 65th minute before heading into CCS to boogie) we weren’t dreadful but then Brisbane weren’t that flash either.
Powell shouldn’t get a contract renewal purely on the basis of his sheer stupidity in barging Baro off the ball when he would surely otherwise have equalised. That showed a real lack of game smarts imo, which is something we simply can’t afford going forward.
Still not convinced about this 5-3-2 formation but at least WOS did include a (supposed) striker in this week’s line up.
Anyone know what the deal is with McGing? He’s been a starter all season and is now only coming off the bench for a cameo. Not sure how Roux can be considered a better FB in all honesty and he showed last night that he can’t defend the back post properly whichever flank he plays on.
But for a couple of errors, I thought Rowles went pretty well again last night and he is certainly one for the future. I personally wasn’t as impressed by Wales as some seem to have been but it’s a big ask for someone as young as him to impose himself on the opposition at this level, so I will temper my judgement. Hoole worked hard but still tends to hold onto the ball one touch too long at times, leading him to lose possession.
Rose senior definitely needs to hang up his boots at season’s end, as he just doesn’t have what it takes any more. Wout is finally beginning to show that he can control games, I just wonder why we are only seeing that this close to the end of the season? Pain really needs to make up his mind if he wants a future at our club, as his body language and application aren’t giving the right signals at the moment imo. When he is up for it, he can be really effective but he can’t do that once in every 10 or so games. Personally, I wouldn’t be too upset to see him let go and replaced by a naturally left-sided attacking midfielder.
BK’s performances have definitely plateaued and his flap at one cross in particular was pretty ordinary. No real blame on him for the goal in truth, as Henrique’s run should have been tracked. Rosebud put in a solid enough shift again this week but I would still like to see him moved further up the park where his control and vision could be put to better use.
This was another game where we should have taken at least a point but fell short in the quality stakes. It is fortunate that the Nix aren’t travelling any better than us at the moment but we need to jag a point or more from the last two games just so we can all breathe a little easier.
