The weekend's game against Sunshine Coast Fire definitely showed how disrupted our preseason has been.
Being the second round of the QSL and being the Razorbacks second full ninety minutes in our whole preparation, compared to that of Sunshine Coast Fire, being their sixth or seventh full game (preseason competition: Clem Jones Cup including South East teams: Strikers, Southern Cross United and Gold Coast Stars).
The Sunshine Coast Fire don't need a head start on any team, they are already in front from the calibre of player and consistent nature of their team.
The Razorbacks showed how underdone we were, the longer the game went on the more fatigued we were which lead to poor possession and poor choices in trying to keep the ball and sharpness in around our and their penalty areas.
Overall it was something that the coaching group knew could happen but hoped it didn't. The players have returned to training on Monday with a good work ethic and the intention of trying to make up lost time so we can get up to speed.
The Razorbacks next game is at home against Southern Cross United (the winners of the Clem Jones Cup).
