You know, I think we could start by simply not losing at home, like we have done for the last two seasons. Losing to Sydney at home was terrible.

If we can build another unbeaten streak at home - however unlikely given current efforts, then that would be a start to get more neutrals along to games to watch.

To change our style of football, we need a fairly decent change to the squad I think, but that takes money I doubt WellNix will front up with apart from PR pieces in the media.

It's the home form that is killing us this season. Our away form hasn't got much results but its head and shoulders above the dross we have been served up in the past. If we could tighten up our defence both home & away, we could still get enough results to make the play offs. All out attack didn't work season 1, and it won't work now. Defence wins championships.

1 draw and 1 win? Isn't this possibly worse rather than better than the past few years?

2012-13 - Played 8, Won 1, Draw 2, Loss 5, Scored 10 Conceded 15
2011-12 - Played 13, Won 4, Draw 3, Loss 6, Scored 9 Conceded 16
2010-11 - Played 15, Won 2, Draw 2, Loss 11, Scored 7 Conceded 23
2009-10 - Played 14, Won 3, Draw 5, Loss 6, Scored 12 Conceded 22
2008-09 - Played 10, Won 2, Draw 1, Loss 7, Scored 8 Conceded 21
2007-08 - Played 11, Won 3, Draw 1, Loss 7, Scored 10 Conceded 23

Attacking wise, it is our best season away from home. Scoring goals has been our achilles heel. If our defence wasn't conceding so much, we would be getting better results.
