Having words with Kisnorbo apparently saying he thought he was a good bloke or some shit like that. Fuck he loves a whinge doesn't he. Anyone hear more about this? Rudan argues with everyone. Probably with himself before he goes to sleep at night. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Man, it was a tense game to watch. We looked quite vulnerable down the left side for the 1st 60 minutes, and turned the ball over quite a few times unnecessarily rushing for attacks that probably weren't there. Diamanti is really quite an amazing player. He is such a massive outlet for them and he was able to have a big influence on the game. JMac is just off the boil at the moment with his finishing. In reality, if his eye was in, he could have had a hat trick. With Rostyn going off, Good did an immense job marshaling and controlling the defence. It really was only after our subs that we looked dominant, and from that came our world class team goal with Luna's sublime pass setting it up. TBH, it was a relief to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imtellingyou Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 The last night was a normal game experience. It was good to be back. Luna's pass was a game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our link up play was fantastic. And on that, Jmac's was a great team goal. As much banging goals (like Noone's) look great for the ordinary fan and help build headlines, it's goals like the second one that provide the success (or lack thereof) of any team. As we have seen from Noone's inconsistency, you just can't rely on worldies every time to win you games Good was class as normal, and Stokes did a great job on debut. each of the younger players really stood up personally, i think we can thank Delbridge for changing his game up. The fact of the matter was his normal lunges and last-ditch-go-to-ground play were so non existent last night it meant we could finally keep 11 players on field (both this season AND against WU). The guy doesn't get enough credit 😉 Yes, no red cards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very close to being the maximum allowed under COVID-19 rules (25% capacity). I've replayed that goal about 20 times already! I thought it's 50% capacity? Anyway, it was so good to see so many familiar faces again and see live football! Edited January 17, 2021 by Tony999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be a big backlog at this rate, and a very congested fixture later on. The country seems to be becoming more unified and focussed on quarantine now, and with vaccinations likely to start in February perhaps there are brighter times ahead. Given the complete shit show that NSW are achieving in failing to control the virus, I think both of those have to be doubtful. Time to move the NSW teams interstate. What's good enough for us is good enough for them if it gets the season moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the NSW teams arnt moved and we can't get there or they come here, our fixture is going to be fucked. Our next few games are supposed to be CCM, WSW, Western United, Newcastle, Wellington, Victory, Macarthur, CCM, WSW. That takes us until Marcy 26, that's only 2 games we can say will go ahead in the current timeslot and date in current conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Folks, I think we might continue the discussion on fixtures in the "2020/2021 Fixtures" thread - it's likely to go on and on for the whole season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 On a less positive note, I thought we looked pretty poor defending those short/variation corners. I thought “the rule” was you sent out the same number of players as the opposition has. We were only sending 1 for the short corner and basically that led to their goal. Hopefully we'll be more organised next time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) How good was it to be back! For large parts of the game I thought WU was the better team but they failed to create any clear cut chances. This is not surprising looking at the VISA experience they’ve brought in. What, player this Diamanti eh, ball control and passing range is on another level - this was their biggest weapon. How refreshing were our substitutions! So glad they got given a decent chunck of game time rather then 3 minutes at the end. Courageous to take Noone off, he was out of gas - so good stuff. Our Japanese Messi show some good skills but faded out a little. What did we think of Benny, Jamieson back in next week? If that happens back to the right?

Atkinson 1st choice RB when fit imo, then its just a question of Gooch or Jamo at LB. Galloway clear 4th choice, albeit a pretty solid 4th choice, after that performance imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Good win against a tough opponent. Once again Rudan held off on the subs and it was a mistake. Credit to Kisnorbo for being bold and making the subs when the match was in the balance. Luna was terrific, best on for me. The pass was exquisite and he was lively. Good very was solid again. The midfield still looks a bit wobbly. Not sure there’s a definite best three in there yet, though Luna is first picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
