Sousa wondering around the midfield like an afternoon walk in the Ipark then passes to mr no one there. Allowing their keeper to stroll halfway up the pitch. Defenders shite Ozzy giving his best maybe Brooks for Sousa and Archer on later Footballs a game of two half’s …I hope
 
Wow, I know Grbic does himself no favors with his athleticism, but all this pile on is over the top. He has no midfield in front of him, no defence, to stop these rockets peppering his goal....sorry, what 2 defections slowing the ball down and still let's them in with ease. Arr.
 
Those blaming Grbic for the goals are just using him as the scapegoat.

First goal needs to be closed down much further up the pitch. We just back off to the 18 and allow the shot, which deflects over to the left where their player hits a shot, which then deflects (twice?) Off Bogle and wrong foots the keeper.

Second goal, you have two players plus Trusty behind. He simply shouldn't be getting through. Once again, backing off and allowing him closer and closer to the point you can't make a tackle as he's now in the box. Then it deflects off Trusty and Grbic almost saves it with an outstretched leg.

Yes he's not very good, and yes we'd rather Alan Kelly in goal, but there's no way he's to blame for those goals.

What is the point of training all week and going through match preparations just to pick that keeper? May aswell have forfeited the game with him in goal.

Wilder has to take some blame here.

He’s made the move to replace Wes and he’s replaced him with someone far worse.

If he’d played a blinder, there are quite a few games where a really good keeper could have had us taking this to the last day.

As it is, he’s made a mistake in recruitment and he’s been too stubborn to admit it.

Mate he’s wank, that first goal yes it got a deflection so what? Any good keeper saves that, he’s so slow going down and doesn’t move his feet, not just this shot but all the time, wherever his feet are planted when a shot comes in that’s where he dives from, never shuffles across one or two steps he just dives from the spot he’s on, he’s pathetic and anyone can see it regardless of deflection or not.
 
Just poor everywhere. Couple if chances on the break that we should have scored at least one. Midfield chasing shadows especially Souza.

You can both be right.

End of the day the defending was shocking too.
 
In addition to the individual mistakes , notably Grbic for the first , as the half went on the team started to lose its shape and organisation with players randomly appearing in positions they should never be in .

Notable amongst these were Osborn on the right wing (!) , Souza in the centre forward position and BBD at left back on several occasions .

Such a random approach will usually lead to an inevitable consequence and so it proved to be .
