Given Dura is also one of the slowest A League players we got caught square a lot last year. That’s why we always revert to sitting so deep which means our midfield has an impossible job of shutting down the space. 

I was genuinely surprised by the result against a very underdone ACFC side. But ACFC are as good as half of the A league sides- just not the half the Nix need to beat. 

Apologies as a bit off topic, but how would ACFC now go in a 27 game A League season, esp if this squad of players (with it seems with more Kiwis than previous), got to train as full time professionals? 

As a Kiwi in Aussie, still puzzles me that a greater city of 1.3 million odd has no presence in A League. Of course realise that is a whole other story.
