    Could have sworn it was brown. Lots of play from centre backs to wings via raking long balls. Jets have probably had about 70-80% possession. Nobody has disgraced themselves by wearing gloves (apart from duncan obviously) but lots of long sleeves.

    Olympic have an elimination final on saturday so wouldn't be surprised if they give it a rest in the second half.

    We still can't cross, penetration is lacking, first touches still aren't great (particularly boogard). Do seem to be moving the ball faster and with kore purpose though. And forward. That's nice to see.

    What do they call it in ice hockey when they change the whole team? Think We're about to do the football version of that.

    Nabbout must be close to double figures for offsides

    Second goal to the guy that scored the 4th. Too easy now - straight through or crossed ball through their defence and our attackers running on to it. Keeper doesn't really have a chance.

    that mullen reference really cost me

    on to the game...

    positives
    - scored 5
    - conceded none
    - cowburn looked alright playing as a DM but admittedly didn't have a lot to do
    - controlled the game
    - relatively clinical in front of goals

    negatives
    - still a lot of poor crosses
    - still a lot of poor touches
    - bit predictable (mid to long ball to wide players when the defender got to about the half way, wide players press forward, cross in)
    - looked a bit slow (they may have had a hard session during the day)
    - lot of offsides

    think they played at about 75% for the whole game. i give them 6 out of 10.

    olympic were good value, tried hard all game, weren't humiliated in any way but were clearly a class below (or two) the jets. i give them 8 out of 10.

    i don't think we should be making boogard the captain this year. don't give the captaincy to somebody who isn't a guaranteed starter, and i don't think he and topor can play too many games together.

    correct me if im wrong but didn't O'Donovan get caught offside a lot during his time with the coast?

    hopefully with the new chinese winger we can have Nabbout not on the wing who i'd say is responsible for a lot of the poor touches and poor crosses
