exactly, dont really care how we got it, just stoked we managed to grab a couple of goals and hold onto the lead. More of a composed game than in Auckland and we actually tested their keeper more often, through the ref was horrid though, lett way too much go and then calling a ball that hits the chest a handball?!? OFC refs are god awful!
We missed the Woodsman! he offers something different upfron, Grieve and McCowatt are quick, but neither is going to hold the ball up really wel or win a header from deep. Mata looked ok when he came on, as did Garbett albeit against a defence that was tiring.
I'm now hoping that NZF do not give Bazely the job, there was nothing in these two games that indicated he has the pla to use the players we have. It looked like his plan was hit it long and hope (back to the bad old days of the 80's)
