jw1739 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Once again it looked like the team was shot physically by 70 minutes, and we were hanging on at the end. Our ineffective use of the ball and failure to take good chances are going to tell as the weather warms up. IMO Galekovic and the back four are solid enough. Midfield - meh. Better use of the forward pass though this week. Forwards - too many chances missed. Substitutes such as Vidosic and Malik aren't contributing anything at the moment - they look lost. Hope the McGree and Baccus injuries aren't serious. Delbridge wil miss the next match with 5 yellows. Poor attendance. But three points is three points. Onwards and upwards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rass Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Created a lot of chances first half and deserved the breakthrough (and probably a few more). ...but wow that last half an hour when we put the cue in the rack was soooo hard to watch. Nearly invited a woeful and inept Brisbane back into the game. We take the win and move on. Equal second should be applauded as we looked in real strife only a month ago. Just hope McGree is OK because he is vital to that left side. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 From the 2 and a half games they have been together this season, I'd like to see baccus and Griffiths start every game possible in Central midfield. They compliment each other I think and with having a second passing option in midfield it gives baccus more confidence to play forwards.

After the game it felt like we had lost the game as opposed to moving up to equal second on points. It's not fun watching your team play second fiddle to a team that's not as good as us. But the biggest problem is its us that allows teams to do this. Last week and this week we basically let teams to walk over us once we went up a goal. We play scrappy and unattractive football to get the win. Given the teams we've played against its not necessary. We can play on the front foot even if we're ahead and still not concede. But instead we choose to sit back and absorb pressure. It takes its toll where people get exhausted and frustrated watching the near misses and close calls other teams have to equalising when the alternative which were capable of doing is to continue going forward and searching for another goal. By the end of the game people can't wait for it to finish and are simply relieved we got the win rather than exhilarated by the win.

Deluka Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Delbridge looked great, I get the sense that he’s learning a lot from Bart and De Laet and that’s what has seen this year on year improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayv36 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 McGree is our only dynamic forward, hopefully the injury isn’t too bad. And if Wazza insists on bringing off Bratts around 60-70min mark everyweek we better get used to the boring, parking the bus style of play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGree and Brattan at the moment are our creativity. Losing McGree that early was a real disruption. Then when he subbed Brattan off, it was time to strap ourselves as there was no real natural creativity on the pitch. ..and even though he was injured, I'm really concerned about Dario at the moment. Looking to me like a real front-runner type of player now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Joyce juggernaut rolls on. Vaguely similar to the last game. First half was some of the best football all year, putting Brisbane to the sword and really should have been at least 3 or 4 to the good at half time. Once again though we shut up shop and went for “the sleeper hold” when we hit the front. Almost got punished by Henrique for that, but got away with it. Even without a striker we are clearly a force to be reckoned with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn Asunder Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Very happy to win, as it is a sign of a good team that can win when playing poor. Hopefully Mcgree coming off was precautionary given our short turn around midweek game (same with Brattan). Concievably, we could have had 5 goals, if we had tucked away all our notable chances. The crowd wasn’t as hostile towards the team, compared to our last home game, as I think people are coming terms with our obvious deficiencies up front, and know that our games will be this way until that is resolved. If we can land a suitable striker, or if Bruno gets back onboard, we will be a genuine contender for silverware / AFC qualification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 We won. That's good, that's very good. Positives: We dominated the game for 70 minutes, one of our more fluent performances. Delbridge has improved enormously (there was room for improvement when he arrived) but his distribution is still his weak area. Baccus deserves his full-time signing. Negatives: Well, this game encapsulates Joyce's philosophy and team style to a tee. We look very good against the weaker teams, and Roar is a poor team by the end of the game we had 9 defenders and 2 attacking players on the pitch, surely a Joyce wet-dream: defenders: Eugene, Bart, Delbridge, Griffiths, Baccus, Atkinson, Malik, Jamieson, Good attackers: Vidosic, Wales The more defenders he brought on, the more we lost control of the game. Our difficulty converting our chances speaks for itself, I suspect that we are more entertaining for the neutral, but it becomes extremely frustrating as a supporter, that game should have been over as a contest by half-time. I could accept freezing out Bruno if we had a backup striker, but not playing our only striker when the alternative is no striker, playing another player out of position and weakening us elsewhere on the pitch is poor management. We won't get away with that against the teams above us. I still see us as a 4th place team, not good enough after all this time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Pleased someone mentioned Henrique. Sort of substitute I wish we had. He re-energised the Brisbane attack. All ours seem to do is produce more of the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
