How good is Kogarah when the sun is down.

12.5k but the atmosphere was amazing compared to when we’d get around the same number of people at Allianz. In fact for whatever reason I thought the atmosphere tonight was a lot better than what it was against Victory with 19k.
As for the game, still a bit shaky in defence and wasteful in attack. Apart from ALF don’t think anyone out there had a standout game and we still created a lot and deserved the win.

100% agree: it looks and sounds great where the GA parts of the bowl are involved as well.
Arzarni was always chewing gum as well.
Unable to watch or find a replay can someone give some detailed player ratings
NB I’m generous with player ratings.
Redmayne - 8 / saved our defence’s blushes but could’ve done better for their goal
Retre - 6 / needs time to settle in at RB, but wasn’t too bad defensively
Calver - 6.5 / silly mistake for the pen but still better than van der Linden
Wilkinson - 7 / is wilko
Zullo - 7 / great crossing, exposed defensively
O’Neill - 6.5 / solid
Brilliante - 7 / very solid, much better reaction to being left out of ACL than Troisi’s performance
de Jong - 7 / starting to see more of what he can do but still anonymous for large parts and so slow
Ninkovic - 7 / usual brilliance but really should’ve been more decisive in front of goal
Brosque - 6.5 / solid but should’ve buried a couple of chances
ALF - 8.5 / carried the team, superb performance

Le Fondre’s finishes last night were from somewhere else. The second in particular was an astonishing piece of invention.
While I agree with all the others, this feels a little harsh. Brosque did some great pressing yesterday which really put the pressure on.
Am I right in saying Brosque was booked for dissent after the VAR decision?
Yeah, certainly looked that way.
Crowd looks and sounds good on the replay.
Alfie is a gem, both finishes were top drawer. Lovely passing in the build up as well.

Big thing in the 70’s, heaps of players chewed gum, especially in English 1st and 2nd Div’s.
In reference to Mckay’s goal keeping, I’d reckon if he makes the same action defending in his own Penalty area, its a pen.
I stopped reading once they gave Calver 4. What absolute shit.
Cheers, saved me a click. Calver had a solid game, even mopped up after Wilko a few times.
He always seems very present and uncomplicated.
Doesn’t seem to get flustered.
Out of 5?
