It's ok, we won't win this match and won't win in Perth either.

It's going to be a miserable few more weeks until this team starts to fire.

I actually think we'll struggle to make the finals.

 

The ACL run has farked our a-league season with the fixture pileup we've got now & in December. And then ACL next year again.

Good flashes down the left and right tonight but midfield went missing in action and didn't really work.

 

We will be better next week in Perth I feel.

trifiro should play in the youth team he offers jack all in the middle, doesnt chase, doesnt tackle slow on the ball. Defo not a starting player cant even see how he fits into the side. Our midfield was letharrgic tonight and i dont believe that we can use the acl as an excuse because most of the starters from sunday were rested. This was a disgraceful performance. Beaten by a team of hacks who funnily enough played very direct and was enough to get them three points. also cut the tricky flicks and take some shots on goal too. ***** pissed off with this as we should of wrapped it up with the chances earlier on.

Couple too many? Wow. Doesn't matter if they started or not, round trip to middle east in less than a week then over to that hole in nz will take it out of u. Our whole centre midfield, our striker and 3 of our defenders travelled.

We will come good.

Of all the places to be sent after our ACL victory away to the Nox would be just about the toughest you could ask. We did our best but the make shift midfield struggled and Juric was starved of his usual service. We will be better with Saba and Bridge back int he side hopefully next week.

 

I still believe we can turn this around and make the top 6 come the back end of the season.... but I feel we really do need at least a point over in Perth, we just need to stop the rot and grab a point to get us going.

 

That is why I was saying I would be over the moon with a point tonight because it would have been a start and gets us off 0. I would take a point next week as well.

No we missed Poljak in the middle

Rudan blasting Adeleke... he has no clue.

 

I thought he played REALLY well, bar that goal where he couldn't run back..

I didn't think he was outstanding. First half better but wasn't proactive. Even in first half which was his better half he seemed to be chasing attackers a couple times because he gave them too much space by either positioning himself too far in or too far out.

i agree as mooy can defend alot better. Also wht was with making one sub the whole game? Should of at least made another sub for tired legs. Lastly and i know everyone is going to have a go at me for saying this but we have bugger all strike options...no one takes shots and its like everyone wants to walk the ball in ala fifa 15 style. I do realise yes we won an acl and i should be grateful but we really shpuld of won this game tonight.

Was that the first game in WSW history where not one WSW fan was at the grounds? 

 

Fox usually make a point of showing the away contingent however small.. but don't recall seeing any tonight.

 

Your new players looked promising btw..

the worst midfield combination, slow, lacked enthusiasm, our turn over was dismal.. la rocco looked like is was still on the vino and trif as mentioned by west 13 back to blacktown..  we had nothing and this needs to change. only playing haliti for 3 min and still having two subs on the bench. seyi was no where near ready for a full came.

We need points now, otherwise we will be so far behind and playing 2 games a week after January is not going to help!

 

I can see us finishing 5th or 6th this season.

The A-League is funny you know. You lose like the first openers, but then maybe a steaming run into the final third of the season and you're finishing 3rd or 4th.

 

I'm not expecting much out of this season. Adelaide came dead last after their Asian run back in 2008. So let's pray for a finals spot LOL

No, we travel unlike the cove. Fox sports showed the away fans atleast 4 times. Probably 5-10 there

We played well in patches but just like in seasons 1,2 and now 3 find it hard to bury goals. i know i am sounding harsh but we need to really sort out our goal scoring.

Understand if you watched some of that with your eyes closed.
