did Burns even touch the ball?
did Burns even touch the ball?
I can see why we didn't do all we could to sign Flores, just set up the scum's first goal with a Brilliante pass.
FFS.
The number 10 role is a huge problem. Burns looks to be a good player, but I don't think that role is for him. I'm a fan of bridges, but again don't think the number 10 role is for him either.
No one else in the squad seems to be throwing their hands up, so who knows what will happen there.
Defensive mids, I really think we miss a Jobe/Wehrman style player.
I was pretty happy with Jailens performance, good signing if we can get someone solid beside him.....regan anyone?
But once again, in the attacking third, when we actually got there, no one wanted to shoot. Creativity was non existent and our play was entirely too predicable. Tactically we seem to be rehashing the same garbage that hasn't worked for the last two seasons, can't see why its magically going to work now.
Isnt Taylor actually a DM anyway? Or is that Brilliante?
Jaliens was a rare highlight for me. He had all the composure and experience you could ask for from a mid 30's yr old in this league. Defensively we'll be a lot better this year - it's the front third that's our biggest problem.
I dont think Gary realises his job is on the line - nobody tell him #shhhhhh
Can't believe we can't score goals yet we have a bloke who was top scorer in the NYL last year and bangs goals in for fun on our books and he can't get a look in.Quote:

No knocking Peppz but we needed goals and creating them/scoring them ain't his area
Surely putting Hooley on and playing him in an attacking role (WHICH IS HIS FORTE) would have been a better idea?? Add that being a young bloke 15 mins with the game out of reach he isn't gonna cost us the game if he stuffed up and the experience playing at HAL level won't hurt him long term either
Not to mention we had already put on Brown and Brillante into midfield already so why put another bloke in that area
????
I think Gary realises his job is fine until the end of his contract.Quote:

Top tactics Gary :dry:
Maybe the answer is getting 2 strikers on the park together. Can't hurt the 1 striker idea just doesn't work for us.Quote:

Galloway strolled into the six inviting a tackle, had he shown urgency we could of been 1up. Instead 2 minutes later Caravella tears our defense apart with his footwork to put ADP threw on goal.Quote:

I agree. In the second half he started bringing it out himself and playing a decent pass too. Him and Jaliens are fine at centre half.Quote:
