Shahanga Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I didn't see it, but as always the question of bench management comes to mind. Bringing on a young player - our youngest player - just returned from overseas, in the 88th minute when we're trying to hold a 2-1 lead. Hmm?? I know where you're gonig with this, but I guess it comes back to a commitment to risk youth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just looked at the replay a few times. Mauk is meant to mark Griffiths, Wielaert even pointed at Griffiths for Mauk to defend him, and disappointingly Mauk loses his man and he scores in the middle just inside the 6 yard box. But why was the young and recently subbed on Mauk, out of all of our players, defending one of their main threats (arguably their main threat), striker Ryan Griffiths? And for me the keeper has to come out and claim or punch that ball. There wasn't too much pace on it, and it drifted into the 6 yard box, a mere metre or 2 away from Redmayne (who seemed nailed to the goal line, or even inside the goal). Mauk didn't impress with his defending, but I blame Redmayne more, and arguably it was a defensive mix up for Mauk to be told to mark Griffiths.

Yes, partly, but I've never been overly impressed by our bench selection and management under either of our coaches. I suppose this is an aspect where the experience of a coach shows itself. Of course it's easy sitting in the stands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way that Griffiths is their man threat from set pieces. Huge lapse in concentration, regardless of if he's a defender or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's easy sitting in the stands... Also easy in hindsight.. if Dugandzic had failed to follow his man people would complain that we should've brought on the young guy with fresh legs. Harsh to blame the coach on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 He's a kid, so i can't be to harsh on him but fuck, why couldn't he make a mistake like that with us being 4-1 up at home or something? Nearly threw the T.V remote through the telly when they scored that goal. Redders seems to be escaping some of the blame btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melburnian Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Redders was stuck on his line, this tends to happen a lot. Redders was at fault for the goal in Adelaide. This games blunder was unforgivable. The win will hide this. He's a golden child amongst some of our rainbow crew fans and it's like he gets a free pass. He has been shocking for a little while now. No command in his area whatsoever. I have no confidence when the ball is around. No presence at all for a keeper either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a couple weeks on the sidelines would do him the world of good. Very disappointing for the last month or so though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTinator Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 What I really like about Mauk is how physically unexceptional he appears with his socks kinda down and shirt tucked into his pants. But he gets into the right positions and just reads the game well and provides lovely passes - and can shoot. Could become anything if he has the same determination as Harry to succeed.

jw1739 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think he and Mooy could be pretty fearsome next season. But you need strikers who can take a pass and hit the ball first time rather than take a touch and carry the ball away from goal. And you need a defence that doesn't leak goals. I watched our positioning very closely in the first half - it was poor - frequently two players going towards the same man. No talking, no directions. So disappointing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
