At the end? We were 2-2. Happy for time wasting and taking the point.Ā 

Would rather be chasing the win. This game was very disappointing considering the outs they had. Even moreĀ so the chances we made during this game

Always thought the expectations of an easy win were too optimistic. Mariners have a great manager, play neat football, and have some excellent young players. And they were at home. In the circumstances, having been one down so early on, we've salvaged something.

Very generous IMO.

We've snatched a draw from what looked like a typical City collapse, however, it's really 2 points lost as we should have won this game. Agree Okon is a good coach, how well would he do with our list?

Positives:

We didn't lose, as we would have done in the past

We came from behind, twice

We didn't give up

Looked more fluent withĀ 10 men and a back 4 than our starting 3-4-3

Positive cameo from Marcin

Won the fitness battle, even with 10 players. We have got a good fitness level after 3 games in a week

Ā 

Negatives:

Porous defending from a back 3 that looked like they only first met in the tunnel on the way to the pitch

Conceded from 2 set pieces in an identical fashion

Delbridge brain farts - impeded Bouzanis defending the first goal, nasty unnecessaryĀ straight red card challenge

Not really, they have half our talent but you can see that every player understands their role, movement on and off the ball is good. Their defending is questionable but more down to individual errors than coaching problems. We look predictable in attack, our ball movement is slow with no change of pace, our movement off the ball in the front third is poor, all coaching problems

Geez they were soft goals we gave up. Ā Great effort from the lads to come from behind twice for the point, but is must be very frustrating to concede rubbish goals ... I donā€™t actually recall CCM making any other real chances.

Bad mistakes by Dellbridge ... he should be made to earn his spot back.

Great goals by Ross and Bud ... if the Bud gets into some form, can we fit him, Ross and Bruno in the squad?

If we're predictable in attack then I'd like to hear how you'd describe the Mariners.Ā What was it before today, 1 goal in 6?

String a couple of passes together on the deck and all of a sudden a guy'sĀ a great manager, the Mariners have been poor most of the season.

WithĀ the way CCM were pressing in the last 5 min I could sense we could concede a third if we weren't careful.Ā For me I'm probably more relieved and content with taking the point today and importantly taking four points from 2 away games in a row. It also gives us that 3 point buffer between the tards.Ā
