Poor coaching to sub Mauk and Halloran with 25 minutes to go, leaving zero experience on the pitch, and then just let Perth walk all over us and take all 3 points

Mauk was gassed and Halloran was trash

Mauk gassed still provides more leadership, Castro has been left completely unchecked since he left the pitch
Gassed and coming back from injury.

We looked comfortable when he went off, and Konsta is hardly a rookie.

Halloran was our most dangerous player... & given our lack of experience, it was a strange decision to pull him off.

Agree with Mauk, but probably should have been Juric off for a double change.

If we don't add some class to our midfield, it's going to be a long season.

Also I don't agree Halloran was our most dangerous, that was Mauk as well.

When the Toure brothers came on they were very dangerous early, but they are like Crouches and their first instinct is to pass it to each other. After 10 minutes we couldn't win the ball so they faded out.

As much as I hate to say it Halloran was too honest for his own good last night, twice he got pulled back when clean through but kept his feet
Yep, if that were any of the Glory side they'd have gone to ground

Both were easily our best

We took off 1 because he was lacking match fitness & we took off the other because.... it was a mistake.

Hasn't signed yet... & I'm sure other teams will be chasing him too.

Hopefully with his history at our club he will be keen to return.
As good as done I reckon.

Bruce said we are signing 2 players, a local and an import. Goodwin just happens to roll into town.

Keogh, Castro and Floparoni all go down in that situation

The one I'm pissed about is the penalty ruled out for an offside first half, the camera angle was s**t

We certainly need some creativity in the midfield, will be interested to see a what a fit Lopez can do too
He's more a defensive midfielder, when fit.

Really missing a #10, with Troisi walking out.

If we have Mauk, with Halloran & Goodwin, should be able to feed our forwards better.

He's a Spanish defensive mid, he's got plenty of creativity.

Add Goodwin as well and our midfield goes from a weakness to a strength.

Yes, no doubt... but he is of no use unless he can regularly get on the park.

Well we just put a significant dent in United's EPL chances.

And boy did it feel good.
