I’m expecting second half to get harder once Diamanti comes in.

Don’t forget that Raptor follow bikies AND their solicitors, for which they got reprimanded by the president of the Aus Law Society.

My thoughts are with Andy Harper, Brenton Speed and the rest of the Sydney FC fans out there, heading straight for the 1000 days without a derby win. I'm also hanging to see a photo of Duke doing the split in front of the Cove after goal #2....

He was solid, but one thing i noticed was that he was doing a lot of talking to get our players in the right positions, which was good to see.

You may be right, but in the post game Carl did say that Sydney are a good team and we were not going to outplay them, so the plan was always to sit back and hit them on the counter which is exactly how we got the first 2 goals. Commentators also rightly pointed out that the Smurf defenders are slow, and whenever their fullbacks pushed up we played the ball behind and exposed them. I think we did dig deep and scrambled well in defense, but its a bit unfair to Carl to say there was no plan, especially in going forward.

McGowan dropped?

Maybe it was a one off to celebrate Cox’s wife giving birth???

We have competent centre backs, but we are not always playing them...

That goal was the first time that Troisi kicked the ball forward today.

7 - 0 coming.

4-2-3-1?

It also appear the the two WSW players are attempting to play the offside, and McGowan is just hanging few meters back, screwing it all up.

I’m predicting a solid 2-1 win over Victree, we then shaft the smurfs 1-0, and finish 5 or 6th.

No he has not

Carlo in. We dominated possession and created many chances but couldn’t put them away, but this is on the players too, not just the coach. I counted Duke missing 3 headers from right in front and Ibini missing one, which was followed by countless other missed shots in the last 20. The formation needs to change, but the white elephant here is that if we start with 2 centre backs, we would need to bench our captain, with Ziggy and Tass starting ahead of him... Lederer has done a good job specially in developing the back of house facilities, but he needs to remove himself
