Daniel is too good. So they attack him because they are Australians without wallabies to shag.

I'm picking Cleberson won't start next week and Filipe might get on a lot earlier.

I think there was enough there to suggest we'll bounce back next week.

OVER! 3-0 to them.
 
we did well in the last 20 and showed some real skill but going 3 nill into half time was never good.
 
Next week definately play 6 backs and defend like crazy and then blitz in the second half.

Team not in Auckland anymore,  I say the crowd will be at least as good as last time.  Wellington have always supported their teams.  Dont be so fickle,  an away loss is no reason not to support the team

Painful first half, better second half.  christie to move to right back, Felipe and Richard Johnson to start in midfield & Smeltz & Brownlie to start up front.

I agree that Wellington is more loyal than Auckland but that will put alot of people for next week, I wouldn't expect anymore than 10 or 11k

3-0 is it.
If they are top team this year, then, I reckon we can reorganise for the next time we see them.  Three structural/defensive goals, we can work on that, can't see why we can't turn this around, when the team play better together.
If this were the Knights there would have been another 2 goals in the second half, I should know!!

Soft three goals, put the nix off their game from the start and they tried to rush everything after that..Hopefully next week they can get the defense to gel well from the start.

I reckon the first two games have started 45 minutes too early for us, put the kick off back by 45 minutes and we'll be laughing. Much better 2nd half, defence looked better organised and Felipe made a difference. 

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Yeah, Felipe should either start or come on ALOT earlier next week he has alot of talent and has showed it in both games. He has made big differences.

What was going through Herbert's mind when he took Cleberson off, and what was going through his mind when he left Felipe off the starting list.

Yep - gotta show the lads the support they got last sunday - and then some!  C'mon wellington, show your true colours and stick by the team its early days and the promise is definitely there.
 
I'll be flying from Auckland just for the game and wearing the colours all the way - I was born a wellingtonian and we have the best football fan base in the land!!!

They did them last week as well and again they dont work. Our lads look much better with short passing on the ground.

I didn't think Cleberson was having that great a game. Think O'Dor is a central defender anyway. Thought they actually looked far more settled and solid at the back when Cleberson went off.

Felipe must be lacking fitness, surely no other reason to leave him out of the starting eleven.

Cleberson isn't always good. First half in Wellington, and the Sydney game, he didn't look too on to it. He is the main culprit of the 'hoof and hope' method of defending, which doesn't really work at this level. However, when he is on his game, he is great.

[QUOTE=loyalgunner]and what was going through his mind when he left Felipe off the starting list.

indeed. Felipe is our star player it seems. Super-sub is not his best role. His start against Newcastle was good. They had 2 players on him most of the game...

Hell Nestling, we had over 60 mins to pull back those goals, we didn't need to rush anything

felipe must start the next game.
 
we start so poorly because we dont have enough guys who can hold the ball and keep us in control of play in the first half of the game. instead we are
 
continually losing the ball, making long passes, then losing of the ball, then becoming  nervousness and then we make mistakes.
 
2-0. 3-0  half time.
 
ricky then realises we need to create something and throws  boy wonder on and we start to look better and our superior fitness helps.
 
its so bloody obvious what he can do why isnt ricky starting with him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
