Shows what happens when a team is taught to play with ambition against a team that shows none

Bayliss again, just kicks it out of play for no reason.

 

[stevefloyd]

Leave in a few weeks.

Have been out of the travel bug for a few years but think I've caught it again.

The desire to come home, work, and moan just seems like a wasted life. A bit like being a ccfc supporter.

Where are you going to?

Not sure yet I have to go to Udon Thani first but after that undecided .. maybe up North Chiang Mai or Chang Rai

 

[Nick]

Bakayoko is trying to play in about 3 positions so far.

Or just a better team. They’re clearly better than us and I suspect if we played with more ambition they’d just up their game a bit.

 

[Nick]

Have a look at the difference when we kick it to Bakayoko who has absolutely nobody around him. Their striker gets it and they have 3 or 4 sprinting on the overlap.

 

[Nick]

Looked close to a pen for them, Mason looked to have been beaten and their player went down.

No booking though.

 

[chiefdave]

Thought he was pointing at the spot there.

Bayliss the golden boy Meyler just sat on the bench difference between play offs & not midfield has been a problem for weeks

Needed to have him playing 4; right back.

 

[ccfcway]

How is that not a booking for a dive ?

Give it time.

 

[Nick]

Bright gets absolutely wiped out by their player, free kick given to them.

 

[ccfcway]

What on earth. What’s the ref on ?

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

What was the point in signing Meyler?

 

[Nick]

Bright tries a cocky flick instead of playing it simple and gives it away.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Or just a better team. They’re clearly better than us and I suspect if we played with more ambition they’d just up their game a bit.

What is the game plan now? Keep it at 1-0 and hope for Baka to score from the half way line? Yet again MR showing inflexibility

 

[covcity4life]

Games like this show how good we are

Give it the full 90 mins but foesnt sound encouraging

Hopefully i can catch final 20 mins

We would be lucky to keep it at 1-0 with our lack of midfield.

 

[Nick]

Bright plays Hiwula in but he's offside. Bright should have done it earlier.

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

What was the point in signing Meyler?

To get them all playing fucking Uno in the dressing room. He should have started over Bayliss today and allowed Kelly to get further forward

 

[Esoterica]

I'm not a massive fan of this formation at the best of times but when our defence is pulled this deep it is absolutely awful. Our 'simple' passes to move the ball between the lines have to travel 10 yards too far because we're so stretched.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Don't think Hiwulla was off there but oh well

 

[Nick]

Don't think Hiwulla was off there but oh well

He was, only just. He made his run when Bright looked like he was going to pass but he held onto it and then made the pass as Hiwula had gone.

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

Pleasant surprise!!!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We would be lucky to keep it at 1-0 with our lack of midfield.

Bayliss needs to be withdrawn for a few games but then again since we have frontloaded the squad with youngsters is it a surprise they are wearing thin

 

[sw88]

He chests it down, he shoots he scores

1-1

Hiwula

Great ball from mason and the one before that that found him

The plan is to equalise!

 

[chiefdave]

Great goal. Just as well the ref didn't pull it back for taking the quick free kick.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Excellent. Come on you sky blues. Playing much better and doing better in midfield.

Very nicely controlled and finished by Hiwulla 1-1

 

[Nick]

Get in, good finish!

 

[MalcSB]

Get in

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Get innnn. I don’t know what the ref was doing; should’ve played us an advantage, blew for a free kick but let it be taken in completely the wrong spot.

 

[stevefloyd]

Wow...i was just about to moan about a shit cross by Mason yee haa
