Well played Central Coast.
Yup, 4 losses. And this one started with a goal coming from a brainfart by Theo. And the second goal came with a brain fart by Jurman (I could be wrong on the second – nobody tracked Bojic coming forward, but Jurman didn’t seem particularly aware of him as he was coming into his zone either).
Despite this, I feel quite positive and see Brisbane in the grand final again – possibly with a better team than last season’s.
There is a plan in place. A way of playing, an identity. Something worth sticking with I think.
Supporting players have gotten a taste of life without Broich / Henrique … some look stronger, some have lost their way.
Adnan is finding his feet very very well. Wins everything in the air, comfortable on the ball, mobile for a tall CB, and such a sweet sweet passer of the ball. If he could head goals he probably wouldn’t have spent his career at CB methinks …
Hingert looked very good out there. Steffanuto has been such a stalwart for the side; but the team gained something with Hingert in his place.
Oh, I finally got what the fuss is about Bratten. Never really saw it before, but now I think I get it. He passes accurate, he passes with speed, he can disguise where a pass is going, and he passes forward. Even his diagonal passes are slanted more forward. He gives teammates something to run onto; he creates forward momentum with his passes.
