Coffs Clash Lost By Wanderers

Whilst we made some fundamental errors and lacked some cohesion at times there were some good signs in the match. Many of the young guys did well in the second period whilst we looked defensively better with the first squad in the first half. I'm quietly confident things will go well for us this season after chatting to a good friend & new Wanderers player after the game. The vibes are good.

The joys of pre season matches and trialling trialists. Save trip home everybody.

Your too positive I feel sick lol

Questions to be asked of our defence and keeper

Did Aspro get any game time in the 2nd half?

No point over analyzing a game such as this, the result is secondary to getting time on the pitch and trying different combo's and working towards full match fitness levels.

No injuries so all good for me, good workout. 

Aspros came on with Romeo after Mariners scored to go 3-0 up. Very commanding at the back. A very solid 35 minutes.

How did Alessi go last night?

I hope Fofanah at left back isn't a sign of things to come.

STARTING XI | Redmayne (GK), Jamieson, Alessi, Hamill, Neville, Guerao, Pepper, Nichols, Mebrahtu, Sotirio, Bridge ©

SECOND HALF XI | Bouzanis (GK), Fofanah, Morris, Campbell, Pepper, Youlley, Baccus, Shabow, Sotirio, Macdonald, Grozdanovski

So it was Bouzanis who conceded three...

Yep, looks like Redmayne is our #1 this season (although his shirt will say #20)

Not a fan of Bouzanis ......

useless, how can you concede 3 goals  in that amount of time from the same player. Disgusting. 

These pre season games dont tell us too much. First half 0-0 with a strong line up. Just wondering what happened in that Heffernan hatrick time period. It would have been nice to beat the Mariners but not to worry, FFA cup is our first meaningful game.

Some shocking defensive positioning in that Facebook link. The striker finished well, but he was left wide open for at least two of the goals. Am I right that they are mainly youth team trialists?

The 3 goals were conceded with 2 young trialists at CB. 19yo and 16yo. As soon as 3rd was conceded, change was made. no need at being upset with trial form when trialists make up half the 2nd half lineup.

Anyone sooking over this is just trying to wind people up.

Surely.

I wasn't there so can't comment on the game at all but by going off that footage from behind the net, if that is the extent of effort which Bouzanis is prepared to put into protecting our goalmouth, then by crikey I hope we have a very solid defence in front of him or a very in form Redmayne to pick up the pieces.

I wouldn't worry too much about results, trials are just that. An opportunity to see what works and what doesn't, before a ball is kicked in anger.

Bouzanis showed there in that little clip that his positioning and commitment was what let him down in that small package of play, regardless of how the ball got to that point before Heffernan latched on to it. I hope he was minimising effort to avoid injury but Covic would never do that, not even in a non competitive trial game.

Please don't try to analyse this result or general play, it's silly and futile

Watch the interviews with Neville and Jamo on WSW twitter.

The boys trained 2 times a day (normal) PLUS on the morning of the game!

I remember going to Tassie and watching us get smashed 3-0 off Melbourne Victory. And we all know what happened that season.

I prefer Redmayne, but it seems we will go with Bouzanis. Central Coast are an unknown quantity this season. They might just surprise a few teams.

For me the goal keeper position is the big unknown this season, but I just need to trust that Popa and Kalac know what they are doing. Once doesn't need to have the (on paper at least) best keepers in the league to end up in the top two, as we have seen last year. But I would be much more comfy with Birighitti in goal. Oh well.
