Wanderers Winless Streak Extends To Six

[mack]

Another dominating performance by the Wanderers failed to produce a first win at the Sydney Olympic Showground with a 1-1 draw against Brisbane Roar.

 

As is the penchant for the Wanderers this season, they began the game strongly but were let down by their defence. Jamie Maclaren, a potential transfer target for the home side for next season, slowly drifted to the byline, and was met by a diving Jerrad Tyson. The collision was hardly at full speed, Maclaren collapsed in a heap and was rewarded with a penalty. Having won the penalty he stepped up to take it, and blasted it straight down the middle to open the scoring.

 

The second half saw a red & black tide threaten to swamp the Roar, as the visitors fell back time & time again. With the attack crying out for a killer final ball to pierce the Roar defence, it came 10 minutes after the break. Nico Martinez poked the ball behind the Roar defence for Jack Clisby who hit a first time cross into the middle that give Jumpei Kusukami a simple tap-in.

 

The goalkeepers took the spotlight with a string of saves. Michael Theo made a spectacular one handed stop from a shot by Martinez that looked destined to curl into the far corner. Not to be outdone by his opposite number, Tyson came up with a two handed diving save at full horizontal stretch when a Roar free kick was hammered into the wall and deflected off the back of Mitch Nichols.

 

Tommy Oar had a chance in the 91st minute to steal 3 points, a cutback found the flying winger and his sidefoot first time strike failed to trouble Tyson. A last minute set piece for the Wanderers came away with nothing and consigned the Wanderers to a 6th game in a row without a win.

 

Western Sydney travel to Gosford next week to face the Central Coast Mariners on Saturday December 3rd.

Boom

 

 

I think we played well overall. Our CBs were decent, Neville and Clisby good (Clisby better as he can ******* cross and cut the ball back), Dimas was great (floated static balls excepted), pinatares wasn't bad, jumpei & Nichols were ok. Martinez was immense, such quality and vision. Bulut was a bit disappointing

 

Brisbane weren't good, but I think our pressure helped them cough up and make incomplete passes. Even Aloisi admits we played well and pinned them back. Very lucky that we couldn't get the ball in the net.

 

I feel like I'm starting to see something (positive forming) in this team

The team is getting better. We just really need a striker who can score.

Epic Dale!

Thanks Milad for making my boy's night

11k on a Friday night, pathetic. Sorry WSW brothers and sisters but it is.

 

Need Keane badly.

It's the ground, and precinct in general mate. It's turning people away in droves. Probably hard for you to comprehend how much of a difference it makes down there.

 

I was there tonight and haven't missed a match fwiw.

Sorry mate, our crowds at Etihad are actually bigger than at AAMI despite it being a shithole. Not a proper fan if you're not turning up because you don't like the ground. It's only 2-3 years at most.

SHould have won that 3-1. Instead of three tap-ins, we had 1 tap-in, and two crosses that went waist height instead of along the ground or at head head. One for Bulut, one for Santa. Keane won't help if they can't deliver.

Yeah you're spoiled down in Melbourne with access to "stuff" near stadiums. There is literally **** all in Sydney Olympic park, chuck in a LAC who wants to flop it's cock out with a show of "force"

The Santa one, unfortunately nico slipped when he planted his supporting foot and was leaning back probably way more than he intended. His passing is so good otherwise

Santa was unlucky. He got twice into positions to score. The high ball from Martinez would have been a goal if it was little lower. But that's the difference between Santa and Bulut. Santa gets into those positions because he makes the right runs off the ball. Bulut allows himself to be marked out of the game.

Theo for Socceroos after that performance but nico for president

I don't disagree, as I said I haven't missed a game. It doesn't take much for many to find an excuse not to go.unfortunately.

 

The two situations are not the same though. Ethihad is still the Melbourne CBD. Plenty of places to enjoy match day before and after, even if the ground isn't as good. Spotless though is nowhere near anything. The whole place has no decent restaurants, no decent pubs, no atmosphere, nothing. It is also incredibly painful for people to get to, especially on a Friday night. Sydney, especially Western Sydney, is a very different set up to downtown Melbourne. I will keep going but don't hold your breath on anything improving in the next threr years. I'm just hoping everyone comes back when Parra is finally done.

Lol I got a new job driving excavation equipment and trucks let's go demolish Piretek right now

You are spot on, but if we were winning the crowd would be a lot higher.

[DamnedUnited]

I dunno about winless streak I kinda think we've stopped the bleeding of goals and reversed some dumb ass defensive errors so another Wanderers Dominate but Draw performance is okay by me. The real headline though is How good is Martinez. Otherwise Bulut would have buried the opportunities Santa blew. We're progressing nicely. Keep the faith.

[beatsurrender]

To say SOP was custom built less than 20 years ago its amazing how short sighted the transport plan was One line in and out. I bet 85% of people find their travel time has increased whilst Pirtek just sits there like a dumped blind date.

[Beer]

That save from Tyson tho OMG ðŸ˜

And THAT dale ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Bulut was nowhere near jumpei when that cross came in. The bloke's our spearhead, yet is 2m behind the anticipation

Ethiad is not that bad, it's walking distance from a major station, 10 min walk to pubs and stuff. SoP is in the middle of nowhere

[GunnerWanderer]

DamnedUnited needs to start drinking

 

His sober googles will be improved by it :-)

[Themumf]

Martinez is so far ahead of Bulut in speed of thought it is making him look bad. Very bad.

8 points out of a possible 24 and some people say we are playing well - just as well we are not
playing badly. Plus 11 points behind our biggest rivals and they have a game in hand.

Sure we had chances but blew them and this problem is so well entrenched it is chronic and the coaching must take the blame.

 

We don't know how to create attacking  space ,  cross properly  or play defence splitting passes. Chronic also are pathetic

set pieces. Even if we had Keane he would have no space or service.

 

They could have won it in the end with Oar. Luckily he missed.

 

Winning is the major key to good crowds , keep this winless run up and crowds will fall below 10,000.

[beatsurrender]

I thought Bulut is just short on confidence but tonight his positioning was poor for a main striker. Unfortunately he has been as useful to us as Pio. It's a shame but we desperately need a striker with good movement or the season will be gone.

[xxBrandonxx]

It's so typical their keeper turns into Buffon. Cracking saves I must admit, but cmon that ridiculous save against Martinez would only happen when playing us.

 

Ref had a good game I thought.

 

What's the record for draws in a season or in a row ? Feels like we're going for it.

Mate you'd complain if you found $100 note down the back of the couch that there wasn't another $10 there

[Prydzopolis]

Victory, please don't be those idiots I have seen on twitter. Oh look, 11,000 people = 1/2 fan base are bandwagoners, the muppets that are the loudest are led by Easts flogs, what a surprise.

 

Most of the people commenting have read the bossi article and have taken it as gospel. If the hack bothered to be a journalist & actually looked beneath the surface he'd see there is a lot more wrong than just a crap stadium.

 

There are plenty of issues with SOP that are completely ruining the match day experience, yes the die hards like many on here will turn up no matter what but even then there are those on here that would rather travel to any other game but those at SOP.

 

If die hards like us are asking these questions what are those, what are the casual fans thinking? They go to get the kids out of the house, but would they bother when transport to/from SOP is horrible, police presence is over the top, security are over bearing, pre match drinks venue is horrible, nothing to do post game except leave & at the bottom of that list the ground is poor venue.

 

If spotless was just a poor venue to watch football none of us would have an issue (new ground 3 years) but there is so much going on than that.

Glad to know you are happy with the results. Idiot.

[eggs]

Bulut isn't getting the service.

 

Thought we played well overall, as we have for a few matches this season. Just hasn't clicked in the final third.
