Its great to see the lads playing some great entertaining football that makes you not want to miss a minute. But i have one corcern.
My concern is that the pheonix keep conceding early and first. This means that they in effect often start a goal behind. We are scoring goals often but the day will come when we find it more difficult to find the back of the net and this means that we will start to have to play Catch up football.
I think it will make it tough to win the league if we are
forced to play football like that.

Hey im glad they won but tbh i think it happens to often.
its happened in 5/6 games.
And if after every win you said "Hey lets just ignore this
problem" you arent going to get better are you?
Still great to get 4.

it's not good to concede goals anytime, but even the best teams do it. I'd take a 4-1 win over a 1-0 win anyday
I like tautologies because I like them.

When you talk about conceding early, it's not because we don't turn
up to play before the 2nd half. We had the better of the first ten
minutes until Celeski scored. It was unfortunate that he did, but
all it does is spark us into action.
We are a very strong team at the end of matches and have a very good bench

wow i'm really not enjoying reading this forum today. and i'm
disappointed. Why the heck is everyone suddenly acting as though
this is some kind of disaster!!! i.e. the above post, seriously one
game does not make a team or a season, and everyones acting like
all of a sudden this team is full of holes, instead of just getting
in behind them after they played a bad game which possibly had
something to do with a different trial of tactics, that didnt go so
well. fs

Sorry you miss read the above comment this was not suppose to be negative. This was more of response to the lead thread below "entertaining football". I support the nix with all my heart and I am not really fussed on the style of football played . Please watch the replay from last night, the game plan didn�t work we had players falling over each other in disarray!!!. Even my main man Tony was all at sea and had a shocker he missed Daniel.

The second goal was really Lochead's fault, he made the cardinal sin for a defender of chasing the strikers without knowing where the rest of the defenders were. If he had communicated (or simply looked) at the rest of the defensive line and stayed put the Roar strikers would have been 2-3 yards offside.

we will not win every game in the season and that is the way
football should be,happy to exept losses on the way and most teams
learn while losing and hopefully get better,

While I agree that it's something that they should be sorting out,
I'll rather lose a goal in the first ten minutes than go 1-0 down
in the last 5.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I might write a letter to the Phoenix management staff and tell them that they should stop conceeding the first goal, because I am sure they haven't thought of doing that yet.
They might make me manager.

Wouldn't the shirts have to go off when the goal goes in - that would still leave 5 mins plus stoppage time of bare chests. Cue pneumonia on a day like this. FM should get them to score the winners last minute of injury time...

Maybe that is why a goal is conceded early, to postpone the timing of the shirt removal in order to lengthen the life span of the supporter base.

If he had communicated (or simply looked) at the rest of the defensive line and stayed put the Roar strikers would have been 2-3 yards offside.
I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I think Moss should be held responsible for the second goal. The ball was going straight to the head of a striker not far in front of him and all he needed to do was jump in the general direction of that striker. If he had jumped in front of the striker he would have saved that header with ease.

I think the reason we lost that game was because Ricky et al
haven't been reading the forum and making use of our vast store of
football knowledge, basically we should be running this team by
some form of committee, and any substitutions etc., should be put
to a vote, and approved by a show of hands or removing of shirt
(counts for 2 votes). Instead of conceding an early goal why not
try starting off with ten players, and scoring an early goal.
these tactics should work every time, I should be in charge of the
AB's I'm so smart

I don't think he would have got in ahead of the striker
though. He stepped forward to close down the header, which is
a fair enough decision. You could argue that he should have stayed
on the line to try and react to the header, given that he ended up
stranded. Ultimately, I think we got caught out not reacting well
enough to missing a central defender to treatment.
Disclaimer: I am quoting from memory and haven't seen the
incident since Friday night, so reserve the right to find my memory
at fault when I see a replay!

I diisagree entirely. There is nothing he can do for an open
header! I blame Ricki for not subbing O'Dor quicker

It wouldn't have been an open header if Moss had jumped in the general direction of the striker the ball was going to (I think it was Kruse). If Moss had got in there it would have put the striker off and would have narrowed the angle of the header.

Like I said, if Lochead had kept in line with the other defenders, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
