Players won't necessarily emulate club form and certainly not right away. These games have been a fantastic hit out and the players know that a few regulars are also out so they're all fighting.

Silly night for Deng but don't let this label him. Wright is definitely a squad filler and we should look at ways to use our best 4 CB in Souttar Rowles Degenek Deng and allow a different positioned player to come in.

Honestly thought this window has seen Atkinson and Strain to a smaller extent absolutely wasted. 

Irvine deeper isn't fun

Not arguing with you over ref decisions.

6’5 Rich baghelou looked good for olyroos

Didn’t plan to. You clearly made your point and I dare say more times than not McGree gets a pen

Yes and I did check Accrington the other day and he's still in recovery. A very exciting player. 

The ref is a madman. 

Pretty much. Would have Elder over King and AMB over Thomas long term but Thomas has been playing very well.

D'Agostino fits more than Maclaren to this system. 

Ugh look up Irbive that was a good run by Bos

I've watched this is on fast forward but numerous bits where I expect a whistle it's not come. For both teams mind you. Felt that was a penalty against McGree. Pretty blind run into man. 

Bloody hell tonight they've been hacking and Irvine's been battered

South American football is brutal and this ref has no idea how to control even a friendly. 

You're way off. McGree had nothing to do with it.

Hey? But you replied to me you didn’t want to argue when I was talking about the no pen call. 

Irvine will feel it tomorrow. Ref is out of depth 

I like Bos 

that's a shame

gee that ref was dodgy

they were pretty much ok to rugby tackle us and ram us over from behind and if we laid a finger on them it was a foul. Pretty one sided, lucky it is just a friendly

Good hit out for our inexperienced players. 

of course not allowing the meds on for a concussion was just disgraceful

mcgree had a pretty clear pen shout too, but no var

Deng was horrible. Shouldn’t touch the Socceroos shirt until he’s out of J2 

I like Borello too wish he had come home

Just a bit deflating but two tough games and a lot to take out of it. I feel at least we transition forward a lot quicker and better so hopefully the days of slow possession are over.

June will see a lot of rotation again so we might see a few different faces. 

their game plan was clearly to foul us in transition since we score a lot on the counter

normally that is ok since the ref gives a bunch of yellows away. This match the ref doesn't even get fouls

tough night for metcalf. We will see better from him

His team got promoted and they're in the J league. He's just played the first few games of the new season. 

Yeah if Metcalf can play a whole season as a starter he will be good for us. I like him but I think the physicality and pace caught him off guard 

So quick google search and deng has been playing J1. Why was he so awful?

The biggest loser tonight will be the ref, not allowing medical on the field for a head injury breaks protocol.

So it appears Deng, Devlin and Metcalfe didn't meet the expectations tonight. A lot to take out of it. Just one game. I'll need to give it a proper watch.

St Pauli play Friday so I think Irvine might start but even so will be pretty buggered. They'll be on the 6:30 to Dubai. 

Yeah out of character. Those nights happen. Been very solid so far this season. 

Think we've all had those days where things don't click.
