Approximately 8% of the population is colour-blind and a significant percentage of that is Red/Green blind. It's an issue which has long since studied and significant work put into documents to ensure these clashes don't happen. Red/Black vs Green is absolutely the #1 biggest failure for colourblindness.

This is the worst kit clash I've seen in a very long time (since an infamous game with Victory vs Wellington). The only person on the field that doesn't clash is the referee. Their keeper kit clashes with their team, our keeper kit clashes with our team, both the outfield shirts clash with each other and our keeper kit clashes with their outfield kit.

Fair enough...apologies. 

Is it just me or is Natta playing a bit... dodgy. Like random passes but he recovers ok. Really up and down

That defending…

Carl Robinson-esque 

And that folks is what happens when you don't convert your chances when on top. A story as old as the game.

That is clownshoes defending from Ugarkovic. He just jogs past Leckie while the ball is in the air, ignores him completely and watches as Leckie plants the header into the bottom corner.

Right in between Natta and Urgakovic. But why didn't the Keeper catch it? Punches straight back to them

I love it when I have to start writing about conceding a second goal right before I haven't finished the first one.

that’s totally on the defenders for me

The header was almost from the penalty spot, that’s like 9m out. Defenders should’ve just stepped back and headed it out 

Awful all round. Meijas for the **** punch, ugarkovic and natta for going to sleep.

This team suuuuucks.

Natta is nowhere near the player I expected him to be by this stage. He has regressed in my opinion.

****, we are creaking here..will do well to get in only 1 down..

Yep..well you couldn't see that coming a mile off 

HORRIBLE 5 or 10 mins..back to the CR stuff.

1st goal - Atrocious defending. We gave the ball away on the half way line (Natta). Concede a needless corner. And then don't defend an innocuous ball into the box. 

2nd goal - watch a division 10 game and you'll see better. A fricken clown show.

Oh boy 2-0 and Leckie has two goals

Rudan clearly hasn’t worked on set piece defending yet. No one on the posts.

Leckie has done nothing all season. Figures. Now for Maclaren to get his customary goals to finish us off.

No idea in attack no idea in defence , we’re a **** show

We will do well not to conceded a 3rd before half time.

If anyone is at the game, please see my post in the love thread and help a brother out at half time. 
 

This game is almost certainly a write off but perhaps tonight can be the start of something memorable

Massively.

Boooooo's to greet half time. All the decent work in the first 30 undone by just dreadful defending.

That CB pairing Natta and Ziggy just isn't good enough. I think it comes to Natta he is just so awkward out there. 

Poor sets of defending I can see Rudan letting rip at halftime and he needs to turn it around the next 45

Man..... I wish we still had Lopar. Jamieson bitching about the pitch.... keep your apology you f'n tool. 

And there's an actual second.

Rudan can't be allowing that to happen.

Where's the man on the front edge of the 6 yard box? Riera knocked out about 100 in-swinging corners into the opposition half from that position and we've got no-one there. I've said it dozens of times but an inswinger for a run at the near post is the statistically best way to generate goal chances at corners, so why aren't we defending that? And where's the men on the posts instead of standing around doing nothing.

Pathetic.

Let's just face the right fact now, we are not going to make the finals again this year...defeatist or realistic?

Fact

Had the chance to go this game and now I'm glad I opted out.

Bump Petratos and give us a look at  Swibel, look first 30 we were good, city just absorbing and going for the break, but corners jeez can’t see us scoring and look like conceding 😡

That's what kills you. City didn't even have to work up a sweat for their 2 goal lead. We fricken gave it to them. It's pathetic. Rudan said he wanted to bring players in. Two central defenders with grunt is a must.

Natta is not up to it. He should be benched at half time and told some hard truths.
