We need to tighten the goals against column, the goal for column looks OK tho. Still early days yet.

Must remedy the away form...starting on Friday. Let's face it...there's hardly going to be a home-crowd advantage..

Ifill summed it up really nicely in the post-match interview.
All good things come to an end - at home we'll eventually hit a snag. But by the same token, we should be picking something up on the road.
We're just struggling to create chances. Tonight, I don't think that outside Greenacre's goal and Rees' senseless handball did we create anything. Not going to win games like that.
Defensively there are still some issues. The goals were too soft for my liking.

Played 9, Won 1, Drawn 6, Lost 2, For 8, Against 10, GD -2, Points 9
And let's not forget how that turned out.

As I posted last night however those draws last season were not from playing mediocre football (maybe some were lucky -others we threw away due to momentary lapses).
So far this season we haven't been convincing.
However still not even one-third of the way through and we can still turn things around.
The season started with so much promise - just need to find that Nix mojo again.

Exactly this- those draws set the groundwork for our launch. We had a solid defence, and formidable midfield. Added a couple of goals from Kosta and Dadi and we were in a good position. The draws were often great defensive performances or games we nearly won, but drew at the last gasp. Not playing as well as last season and not as happy with our depth so far.

Problem is we were playing well last year, we were very lucky to get wins over sydney and NQ this year, the only time we have looked good this year was the draw with Melb, which could have quite easily been a loss in the end
