I thought Bazeley got his selection changes pretty much on cue for this game, so that alone deserves more than 2/10. But yeah he left his subs too late.
I'm banging on about it, but the team badly needs Singh confident & firing at a new club somewhere. It's almost more crucial now, than a fit Wood being available.
Bit of a wait until the next big game, Mexico in September. Hopefully NZF can line up a middling CONCACAF opponent (Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras) for the 2nd game in that window. Can break this winless streak. And of course the Olywhites getting out of an Olympics pool including USA & France would be huge. But that seems a bridge too far.
