cityfan101 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Imagine making Matt Simon the captain of your club... Hopefully Jameison and Vidosic are fit to start now. Play Wales as impact off the bench. The lack of drive from Delbridge at LB was frustrating. Game two of a long season, years gone by we lose 1-0 or even 2-1.

We are missing the sort of youthful confidence to attack that Arzani gave us last season. Also, you'd expect Wales to be up for it and having a worldy back in Gosford. But no, he had a stinker. You're supposed to be a pain in the arse playing against your old side. Ross proved that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to your reasons? Purely because Bratts and Griff better defensive combo V Sydney? Or something else? IMO Baccus has pulled 2 good shifts now. Busy. Always at work much like Bratts. Dictates a lot of the play. Probably deserves to keep his position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Strange game, we deserved to win it with that second half domination, we deserved to lose it because really, we hardly attacked the ball in the box, we had so many penetrations with so few players there. Positives: We drew when we could easily have lost We created more than enough chances to win it McGree has been a great signing, and happy to say that, so far, I was wrong to doubt Bacus' signing. We looked much better with the subs on and balls not being played in by Delbridge, hopefully, this is our starting lineup next week. Negatives: We drew when we should have won Still, too slow moving the ball forward. It wouldn't be an issue if our movement off the ball in the front third was good, but we look predictable and slow and lack penetration and intensity. All the weaker teams will play this way against us and allow us the ball so we need to address this. 2 points lost before a big game next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably deserves to keep his position. I think Baccus has been solid but I rate Griffiths, and I think he would give Brattan & Mcgree more protection for them going forward. Plus his height would be dangerous for set pieces. 13 minutes ago, ABC123 said: No chance, that’s not even negotiable.

Probably on par with La Rocca. I really hope Good gets his body right and we have a CB pairing of Bart & Good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clear offside goal allowed to stand against us in the semi last season, it was obvious on the video, VAR failure in the Grand Final meant that a poor refereeing decision by the ref wasn't overturned - this would continue every game without VAR. Last week VAR wasn't consulted, the ref changed his decision to a pen when he reviewed the video footage, today's missed pen to Bruno was 'payback' for last week but not down to VAR.

jw1739 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 IMO people are being a bit uncharitable so early in the season. Two away matches to start the season, and we've got four points out of them, both times coming from behind. And we have quite a few of our back-up players away on international duty and several injuries to contend with. It could have been better, yes, but it could have been a lot worse. IMO any issues we have are tactical - the way we play - rather than the players we have. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEARTinator Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 This wasn't a penalty because: A/ Bruno was hanging onto this shorts so Cisse fell on him accidentally ?

haz Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 If only we pulled our finger out this game. After results this weekend, even with this draw we are still tied on points at the top.

rass Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 A few points I took away from this game... .CCM are a lot more disciplined this season and made it hard for us to break them down. What they lack in flair they try to make up with resolve. ..I actually believe our at times laborious play was down to the pitch. Not sure if anyone else thought the same, but that pitch looked quite heavy. To my eye, the ball was moving slowly and quite often early it looked like the ball was getting stuck in the feet of players. ...We dominated the game and at least salvaged a draw where in similar scenarios in the past, we would've lost. 1 win and 1 draw after two away games is a good start to the season. With players to come back, things are looking good so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
