frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It felt like Brisbane Roar did enough to beat Adelaide United. \u00a0A maiden Roar goal for Brett Holman had they sitting comfortably at 1-0 against the out-of-form home team. \u00a0But Adelaide got a late equalizer in the game thanks to Serge Guardiola who headed past Michael Theo to equalize for the Reds. \u00a0It was a frustrating goal to concede in truth. \u00a0It looked very save-able and at this point, the stats for the Brisbane Roar goal keeper do not make for pretty reading. \u00a0In nine shots on goal that the Roar have given up this season so far, they have seen seven hit the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, the Roar managed to handle the absence of striker Jamie Maclaren who was called up for Socceroos duty.<\/p>\n<p>A draw against the defending champions away from home is nothing to be sniffed at but given our current form and the nature of the goal conceded, its not to feel like two points went begging.<\/p>\n<p><strong>News and Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sydney FC are getting close to setting a competition record with their blistering start to the season which has now extended to six wins in a row. \u00a0They demolished Perth Glory, a side which has generally shined brightly this season.<\/li>\n<li>Wellington Phoenix made it two from two with a win away to Central Coast Mariners. \u00a0The game was held in Canberra. \u00a0I don&#8217;t really know why. \u00a0I understand the concept of expanding the reach of the game but picking two teams with the smallest fan bases in the comp seems a bit ridiculous. \u00a0Over and above that, the FFA remains frustrating vague and tight lipped on what a Canberra team or any other interested parties would need to do to get an A-League license when the time comes for expansion.<\/li>\n<li>This might be the worst start we&#8217;ve ever seen from the Wanderers. \u00a0Goal keeper Andrew Redmayne is a shocking liability and his poor decision making seems to regular cost the side a goal.<\/li>\n<li>The Socceroos took a major hit to their Russia World Cup qualification chances when they drew 2-2 with Thailand. \u00a0It was a game they were fortune to escape with a point in truth. \u00a0The Socceroos scored both their goals from penalties (the second very generous from the ref) and Thailand almost had a winner in the final minutes of the game. \u00a0There are some players in green and gold who seem to be playing on borrowed time. \u00a0I&#8217;m looking at the likes of Robbie Kruse and Mathew Leckie who have failed to score goals up front for some time now. \u00a0The lack of game time is also clearly hurting the form of Matt Ryan and others. \u00a0The worst Socceroos performance under Ange Postecoglou.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goal keeping woes haunt Brisbane in a disappointing game away to
