Game 7 (17/5/08)
SCORERS: Rowe, Tamone
Not a good day, but good to have this loss now. Team disrupted due to Kurt (injured back) not starting, and Josh being subbed after 10 mins with breathing difficulty. This left Kris in the centre rather than his usual wide left position. We were up 1-0 though after 10mins via a great turn and strike by Kris saw the keeper stranded. Some sloppy defence saw them equalize, then a set piece before halftime saw them take the lead at halftime 1-2. Confusion in the defensive setup saw another goal to them just after halftime 1-3. Finally, a change in the middle with Kurt and Kris supported by Russell, changed the balance and put them on the back foot. First Adrian got through and rolled one into the corner 2-3, then Kurts header and Matty went close in the last 5 mins. But, we have to look at our setup against these quality teams and be smarter in our approach. Coach needs to get better prepared and make quicker adjustments before its too late.
Best on field – Jimmy – strong display all day
