Jaushua Sotirio

Watch the goal again. Just before bachus plays the pass, a poor defensive read by perth cb where he raced out of the line and left a gaping hole. It was the only error in what was a solid defensive effort by Perth.

 

You cant expect , and won't, be gifted goals by poor defending like that too many times in a season

I'll watch again at the time I was blaming their fullback for not stepping up, if he had it would have been offside

@lloydy agree, although we have got better, I think vedran will make a positive difference too. But yes we either can't hold a lead (CCM, Newcastle, Wellington) or we give an early goal away which allows teams to sit deep and make us chase (Perth)

Even the CCM game we won we went down early to a poor goal and could have conceeded more

Still think a striker will make a massive difference, even in the games we got thumped we had enough early chances to be leading

In all 3 games we got thumped we had decent chances to take the lead at 0-0 and blew them. Changes the whole complexity of the game so I agree that a good striker will make a massive difference.

Spot on Tyler ... 100% right

Doesn't matter it was a defensive error that led to the goal. Its how we have been conceding goals all season.

You still have to take those chances, and we simply haven't.

you could argue that every goal conceded is a defensive error.

Football is a TEAM game.... Defense, midfield and attack all need to do their job.

Unfortunately we are not the Brazil of the 70s where it didn't matter how many they concede because they always scored more.

According to the WSW web page, Sotirio is now the 5th ranked player in the "most goals scored" count:

1) Santa 6

2) Nico 2

3) Jumpei 2

4) Dimas 2

5) Sotirio 1

Borda's and Nichols' solitary goals were omitted, somehow...

Usually when players are tied they rank them by goals per minute. Borda and Nichols have played more minutes than Sotirio.

Doesn't take much to get into the WSW top goal scorer ranking, does it?

not really, but the first step is to actually go to the games.

It does when goals are almost as rare as hen's teeth

Yes, I too have noticed that not all players are actually showing up even though they are on the pitch...

And a happy new year to you too :-)

miss you babe

he looked good today

It must be the wheet bix.... 4 games in a row he has had a good game

if he was an afl player wheet bix would be an euphemism for steroids or something

His first touch is still dodgy but he's been having an impact.

Hate to be a damp squib but he's still got a lot to learn and I'm not sure that he's capable of the improvement necessary to be an effective A League player. Credit to him over the past 2 weeks through as he's really put a shift in.

I've bagged him to the shitehouse in the past but he's been a different player the last two weeks. Long may it continue

Sotirio > Mack

finally we can confidently say that.

Did Sotirio ever go undefeated in U12's Southern Districts Football Association, including winning a Grand Final? Did he ever get a trial for Marconi and then get rejected? No. I didn't think so.

He was better on the ball yesterday, starting to run at defenders and take them on at pace, and also making well timed runs in behind. He looked far more dangerous than in previous weeks and far more dangerous than Jumpei when he came on. He will only continue to improve with confidence. More than just a good shift yesterday, one of our better players.

I'm just happy he is finally putting his shift in for the team

Been very impressed with Sotirio the last 2 weeks. Really offering us something different with his pace. We have no one else besides Nichols that runs in behind the defence.

He's decision making in the final third is also getting much better. Very happy for the lad.

Yeah, the lad has done ok that last few weeks. At the derby I was just happy to see him have a crack at goal and he lifted another level yesterday which is great to see.

Definitely more impressive playing central than on the flanks. He seems to get lost out wide

I mentioned on this forum a few weeks ago somewhere that he was much more dangerous in and around the penalty box area. Cutting in towards the box and shooting at goal    He is actually one of the few players in our team who is very direct on goal and uses speed to beat players.

Scott is another player who is very direct. He just needs to get into good positions like he did yesterday. We need more of this than fart arsing around the penalty box.

what a goal

I like this kid's attitude. Keeps persisting and is a valuable squad player. Surprisingly rises for the big games.
