We Are The Reds

I thought it was a good, honest letter.

Biggest problem was that most of the season we couldn’t play the same centre back pairing two weeks in a row - mostly because of injury or because of poor form when coming back from injury, and then because we lost Popa. I think we must have had 8-10 different centre back pairings this season. If we...

You can’t say we don’t play with passion.
Season is over …
(bugger … game is over too)
… but the Adelaide players still playing with passion.

Cox made a great save first half, but in these terrible conditions his game has been littered with mistakes, miss kicks and miss placed passes.

So, that's three times in a row we've had leads and gambled on bizarre substitutions of core players. 1W, 1D 1L. Can't complain about the number of goals per game though. And Hiro is in peak form. Padahna looked the goods. The Red roller-coaster roll on..... Mauk, Isaias, Clough all bring that inte...

So … can we still finish 7th and possibly just a point outside the Finals? Amazing. I love the A-League.

Far out VAR! Talk about stress levels.
Thank goodness it was nothing.

Duzel off the pace of the game.
We look fragile in the middle without Mauk’s combative solid presence.

You have to laugh or you’d cry.
It’s our season in one game.

Our squad is so depleted (in numbers and in quality).
Actually, to properly reflect our season we’d have to concede another and finish with a draw.

Nearly gave it away with that free header.

FOUR!

There you go Otto
Van der Saag!

Classic! Well done VDS. Nice finish.

Irankunda off. No complaints about that.

Madanha on and immediately we play a ball over the top and we score with his pace. Great.

We didn’t do that once for Irankunda in this match. Maybe his poor positioning. But he just never looked like he wanted a ball like that.

Is it just me, or has Irankunda been very quiet and not as energetic as usual, both in attack and defence.

Sign him up, indeed!

I’m not going to post any more of VDS’s errors.
His mind is clearly not match ready.

Far out. VDS again, this time so soft in the tackle let’s O’Shea through for a shot from inside the area with just the keeper to beat.
I guess we are just so short of defenders now.

Perfect pass from Clough too. Nice goal.

Feel like I’m picking on VDS, but he just let Mileusnic cut inside and shoot on his right from the edge of the area?
