Olympia defenders to slow today and kept passing back just putting more pressure on yourselves.teams that play you away from warrior tiny pitch know you're not quick enough
ReplyDeleteWhat was olympia coaches tactics i agree first 20 min we just passed back all the time
ReplyDeleteReally poor from Olympia and smart tactics by Kenny M. South sat deeper than usual to prevent Olympia getting in behind. Olympia kept belting it in the air to Ryan who had Oscar Thomas on him and was going to out jump him all day. Olympia's fitness also looked questionable in the last 20. And well done to the five u18 South players who hd a run either from the start or off the bench
ReplyDeletePort and South miles ahead of the rest. Olympia were complete garbage today.
ReplyDeleteIs Jack Ryan worth the $1000+ a match they’re paying him? Oscar Thomas has the bloke on a string today
ReplyDeleteSPEED KILLS RIP OLYMPIA
ReplyDeleteOlympia too many egos. Having a crack on the field is not cutting
ReplyDeletedown a young player from behind seconds after the ball has gone.
Ref no guts to show red card. It’s also about time the Olympia
supporters know when to yell out and what to yell out.
There are two sides out there and when one is thrashing your team
generally it is not the referees fault. I feel for Rob Clarke.
Many of them need a rocket up you know where. Some of the younger ones
must learn when to try and beat players and where and when and where not to.
Olympia woeful today.
New kids...
ReplyDeleteYou're correct. Kenny is king of the kids. They ran all over Olympia yesterday. The plastic pitch boys looked slow and heavy.
Keep calm. Olympia you’re back next week on that claustrophobic pitch and your players will look fast
ReplyDeletePerhaps the imports have become to accustomed to our way of life .
ReplyDeletePossibly Tasmania is not as competitive as the U K thus leading to a more relaxed lifestyle and dedication to training.
Anon 4.54 pm. It is the club’s role to set the expectation and drive dedication and discipline.
ReplyDeleteYou can’t just expect the players to do so. Especially the imports who are pretty
well paid. The pressure should be on them to set the example and drive the others.
After all isn’t that why they come down here? They don’t come for a holiday.
And the more senior players at clubs should pick up on the extra expectation
and push the other locals. Olympia were like this not long ago . But it’s not just
Olympia . Other clubs have had issues with imports and what seems a lack of interest and
commitment. There is one club who drives their players and sets high expectations
but expectations are not just words. They are actual expectations set by the club
not players. If the players want success they buy in. If not they go elsewhere
and get paid the $150 a week that they are not worth and go through the motions.
