Wouldnt go that far, some good movement and link up play in first 20. But giving CCM too much room after that and some poor positioning.

[tardotz]

Good 1st 10 minutes and then we dropped off. Somehow I cannot see Foxe having a dummy spit at the halftime talk

I'm a bit emotions. We've been terrible though, I didn't see much movement at all. Complete opposite of last week.

We are a few yards off the CCM pace so letting CCM move it and drag the game around.

[WestSyd]

Risdon  is really being exposed. He’s making Connor Pain look like Messi. Sluggish in attack and not marking up in defence. Even Golec is having a good game. We should be forcing him into errors.

[tardotz]

There doesn't seem to be any urgency.....we are lucky to go to the break level.

CCM have been fine but it looks like you're being generous, they just give a damn, that's the biggest difference at the moment 

[Smoggy]

Here comes Hamill..........great......

[Smoggy]

Bullshit...CCM run straight through the middle of us with absolute ease.....

Really poor.

[West13]

This is a **** show.

Rolllyyy

Pathetic

[tardotz]

Lucky to get away with a point

This is one of those times you feel embarrassed to have done so 

[ZachMercer]

CCM had something to prove this game and they did just that. We looked off the pace for the majority of the game. Lucky to get a point.

[Paul01]

Yep. Not as good as last week.

What was with the pitch, guys slipping over everywhere. Must have been overwatered

Its been damp all day. 

CCM were nothing special at all, they jogged through us half the time. We turned up expecting three points to be handed to us, simple. 

[EmMac]

That was a big serving of meh

[StringerBellend]

We were really poor, sat back too much and let them play the ball put from the back, they ran thru the middle of us with ease. When we had the ball they did a good job of pushing high and compressing the game, and we had no idea how to play thru it. Other than Llorente I’m struggling to think who had a decent game for us. 

Looks like our crowds will be about 11k this year which is dismal, spotless is a atmosphere vacuum.

He is thin now - he was thin last year, when I saw him at our games twice.

He was there tonight! 

[EmMac]

Where was the intensity and hunger from last week?

[StringerBellend]

Anyone know what Thwaite injury is? Where is aspro these days? 

Cant really blame Hammil for the goal but, he sure has a knack of putting the ball in the wrong end. 2 in 2 now

Dare I say it but it was a bit of a Socceroos performance

[Davo]

Thwaite was grabbing at his hamstring. Aspro warmed up with the squad, probably the 17th man in case someone goes down in the warm up. My guess is Hamill gets on the bench over him because he's played center back and fullback, Aspro's more of a centre back only.

Hamstring. Was rubbing the back of his leg.

I couldn't go to the game - so watched on tele.

Hence I know that it was Thwaite's hammy and that Gombau was there - he was briefly featured on TV.

[WestSyd]

I thought we turned up expecting to win and then were shocked by CCM's desire and ability to beat us to most balls and maintain possession with ease. In the end they even outplayed us with 10 men and still caused us some problems. 

We were very much worked out in the way we play and resorted to route one football with a lot of the time long balls going nowhere or players constantly offside. Very frustrating to watch.
