ALM Round 7 v WU. Spoon Bowl. Again.

[Hello Sailor]

Line up is out on fb/twitter/etc.. Reec and Di Pizio both getting a start. That’s a bold statement by MJ. I’m not convinced it’ll pay off but hopefully im wrong.

Just going thru the thread now after the game so apologies if this has already been said. DiPizzio looked very comfortable playing first grade. Sign him up now-he has a future. Jing tried hard but I think he is over rated.

Sacked in the morning... you're getting sacked in the moooooorrrrrning!

Alouisi must be on his last gasp now...

Forum Phoenix and I started this chant in Bay 3 in front of Aloisi. Heaps of people joined in and it was very loud.

Jing builds competition with kuol.
MDP should hold his spot next week.

 

[Hello Sailor]

Theo dawdled a lot especially for a second half sub. I dont think he likes running. I guess there is always walking football

Well, I haven’t started a thread since our Spoon Bowl match up with WU last season. Same result would be great. Was the last time we saw the bottom rung of the ladder last season. ?
7:45pm Central Coast Stadium. ?
COYY

i just want to say. I turned this around last year by starting this same thread. Although this game was far less stressful.

Should I start more threads ?

Amazing what happens when you make runs and cut out the needless stepovers.

We actually looked like we knew how and where to make runs tonight and were looking to pass to match and not hit that magic thread the needle miracle ball.

The kicker with team selection this week is a Wednesday trip to the Philippines. Hopefully wasting the game last week doesn’t come back to bite us in the bum.

Aaaaaah win one, then lose or draw one seems to be our MO. I'll be in the stands, we've come a long way, the boys better turn up against Stallions! All 3 of us will be cheering! ?

You are welcome. Though I’m going to have to apologise to @Wombat. At least this week. ?

Two headed goals from corners,one(Kuol) also indirectly from a corner after Faz hit the crossbar and one ( Tulio) from a well flighted lob .A solid performance and many outstanding contributors.Kaltak and Hall were rocks and absolutely dominated Wales and Botic.
Roux and Farrell hardly put a foot wrong though Faz did some loose passes at the end.Balard and Nizzy dominated the midfield.
Torres had a very good game as did di Pizio.Tulio again worked hard and his goal was well taken.Reec did win some aerial duels but still his first touch often lets him down.Theo cut out the stepovers but still tried to beat too many players when a pass to an unmarked team mate would have been better.Kuol was in the right place for his goal but otherwise was quiet. Doka again looked good when he came on but Roux is definitely first choice.
WU had periods where they had lots of passes but no end product.Like us in the first few games.

Andy Harper is in rare form, dribbling to the max tonight

Thankfully I'm at the game, listening to Coast FM instead. "And Kuol went up for that like a spawning salmon". Quality!

 

[Huddo]

It felt like a rebirth tonight, seeing us look for the crosses

 

[priorpeter]

Bit torn on the hoofball style we seem to be taking on. But when we're 3-0 up well I can swallow my distaste

Fans want us to play forward quickly… but wait, not like that!
When it’s Monty, it’s verticality. When it’s Jackson, it’s “hoofball”.

Danny equals the record for clean sheets finally after a bit of waiting this season

Danny had already equaled the record - was tied with Reddy. Tonight, he took the outright record. 91 clean sheets in 314 games. Reddy finished on 90 CS in 350.

Anyone fancy eating some humble pie on Hall? Immense tonight. As I said on the pod I’m not gonna say “I told you so”, buuuuuuuuut….. nah fk it, I did tell you so.

My post on Oct 26......"Think Hall at RCB and Kaltak at LCB would be better pairing"
Undefeated since Dan has started

Torres was unhappy going off.
Missing a sitting from 2 metres
Probably didn't help.

I believe he has vision problems

Not really
as i've said before acl's take two years to get over . One year for the body and two for the head

Ahhhh… he didn’t do his ACL. So I guess he just needed the 1 year huh.
Has been faultless since he came back, and was one of the best on ground tonight.

Also gotta disagree with your 2 year diagnosis sorry. Brad Tapp seems to be doing alright. Pat Beach came back pretty quick. Heck, Moresche scored in a grand final.
Do agree however that it plays in the mind for a while, but these guys aren’t playing all age footy, they’re pro ballers.

Di Pizio needs more game time. I've seen him in the NPL but this is a step up in intensity. At 25 minutes he was gassed. Came out after the break fresh but quickly hit the wall again. The guy is a talent but we need to gradually increase his game time at this level.

Watched Tulio a bit closer tonight. A lot of his wasteful passes this year are the same passes he played last year. Difference is the CumDingo understood what he was doing. Hopefully someone starts getting the same understanding soon.

Dan Hall - great to see you back!!!
