Awful game, awful performance. That one is down to the manager. Picking the eleven who played the majority of the game on Wednesday resulted in a slow, tired, laborious performance. O'Riley, Maeda, Palma, Kyogo, the full backs all miles off their usual levels. Then we come to the subs. Mikey Johnston? Why? Utter crap, still looks like a 16 year old playing with the big guys. The only sub who played well was Forrest, and he missed a sitter that would have won it for us. Rodgers obviously has no trust in a lot of the players we signed in the summer. Lagerbielke and Holm cant even make the bench and Yang cant get on ahead of Johnston. No MOTM today, they were all poor.
A harder game on Wednesday against the kings of sitting deep and frustrating then launching howitzers from set pieces. Many changes needed, if we have the depth to leave out some of the players who have done so well this season.
5 wins and a draw from the opening 6 away games is a good return, but could have been better if we turned up today.
