Hmm, Sydney score their 1st goal of the season as we go 1 goal down.

Plenty of time to come back

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

0-2 now.

Don't look switched on.

Yes, not a good start The girls lost against Brisbane, the girls in the cricket are not doing so well in Mackay, and now the reds are struggling Not great for SA sport today.

& yet the Redbacks are actually winning.

Not much chance for the reds from here, but at least the girls in Mackay improved since I last posted. Yes, great win by the redbacks last match.

0-4 just before half time.

Game over.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The Reds are no threat this season. We didn’t improve our defence and this is the result.

 

[Cap]

Not the best game to come to

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Reds, Crows, Strikers and 36ers all lose on the same day.

You just have to laugh really.

I forgot about the 36ers, but don't follow them too much... Girl strikers need a miracle to win from here

Has there ever been such a waste of space as ibuski. I hope he is paying us to play as i have never seen such an inanimate object on the football field. He makes borlase look like a Stawell gift winner. Unless the ball is placed right on his head he is useless. Send hi. Back to the land of the rising sun. When he left as has been the case a
Number of times over the last year or so we looked far more dangerous

Isias must have been injured. How else can we explain his absence from the field. His leadership in the back half and midfield was missed

Didn’t like the way we played out of goal today. Too predictable and suspect under pressure. We didn’t appear to change our method even clearly when it was not working

I thought the kids coming on gave us a lift. Jury out for now on tunnicliffe. Did not show much creativity and looks not match fit to me

 

[Interloperer]

I thought Tunnicliffe deserved his start based on his substitute appearances. But of the three games, two were already blow outs and one was chasing the game against ten men. None of his games had tested any defensive qualities. Until tonight, and he failed completely.

Ditto Bovalina. But he is young and should learn quickly

IMHO the big lesson from tonight should be that Duzell has probably leapfrogged both Tunnicliffe and Yull in the centre of midfield power rankings. I'd like Isaias + Duzell next week.

Isaias picked up a knock late last week. I'm surprised he was on the bench tbh.

Nice break whilst raining at the WC.

Hope I don't need to watch the 2nd half though.

Hopefully Arnie swings the changes at half time, including a debut to Yengi.

My remote hand was getting tied. I have my Tv and Laptop playing at the same time.
Funny seeing the sprinkler going in Melbourne and rain in India,

Gauci will be in Europe sooner rather than later.

Great response after being asleep the last game.

We are going to be a good side to watch with plenty of goals, but we are going to leak goals too at times as lack experience.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Gauci will be in Europe sooner rather than later.

Future Socceroos goalie.

Liked him as soon as he came in for the injured Delianov... & was surprised when Delianov was put straight back in the team for a bit.

Struggled for a bit against crosses but appears to have ironed out those issues. Great record of stopping penalties (surely one of the best records in A-League) & shot stopper with his long reach.

Matilda's getting touched up by Canada atm. 5.0 down at 75 minutes.
