I was at the suburbs game yesterday and have some conclusions:
Lucky to win, I thought Hawkes Bay played the better football and were unlucky to lose.
Tim Payne may be captain but all he does is whinge and moan and I noted that a few of his teammates were not happy with him and his continual moaning.
Sam Burfoot is probably one of the most talented players in the league but seems to be employed solely to chase down the ball (which Payne and Ekpo do far less frequently), break up the opposition attack and rarely get on the ball himself- seems a waste of a good player
Moses Dyer playing out on the wing. One or two good touches in the first half but forgot he was there after half time. Either play him as a midfielder or leave him on the bench
defensibly solid but far to many long balls - and not very good ones either
Derek Tieku and Ross Havilland stand out players for me
Auckland City will not be at all worried at the moment - Suburbs need to buck their ideas up and start playing as a team!
