Rowdies drop this one 3-2. Ricky Hill's tactics and formation were just horrible. He's not using his players to their full potential and he keeps starting that donkey of a son of his! It's inexcusable!
Its a two leg derby, he thought the away goals rule was in effect rather than the series being total goals. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been bad, and still isn't really. 1-0 at home at least ensures penalties (don't believe they will play extra time as its just preseason friendlies).

Campbell and Yamada were exposed in this game. They both looked tired and slow. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt though bc of RHs tactics in this game because said tactics were atrocious. Rowdies did fight, but at the same time it was difficult to get 5 touches or more to build something in the final third. It's preseason I understand, but it's not a concern yet. Of course Shane hill needs to go. He can play so much better, if he was a better player, but he's not. This experiment needs to end. Time to move on fron Shane hill. His one touch passing, losing easy balls and looking confused is not good for this team. Ricky needs to start being a coach instead of a dad and move on professionally. Please and thank you. Great energy and passion from the mob in this game. I hope we can turn it around on March 30. COYR
Once again you don't know what you are talking about. The announced attendance was as real as it gets. I really enjoyed the game. Very entertaining and great atmosphere. Both teams had goals scored off bad mistakes. TB was lucky OC only scored 3 goals. I agree Shane Hill has no business out there. For how good OC defense is their back right side always bad. On the plus side I could hear Ralph's Mob from across the stadium from time to time.
Not really. This was really hyped up since the end of the Disney games. This past week started OC radio ads. And 104.1fm and 740am talk almost everyday about it. And the supporters and fans just wanted to show they can out do TB. Nothing wrong with that.
