A loss at home in the first game of the season was not a great start. A good away win takes away some of the pain

However, the really disappointing feature of the game against Glory was that all the players were playing in one half of the pitch. 

Sadly that half of the pitch was not the half-way line but a line drawn between the middle of one goal to the middle of the other goal.
If the opposition want to play that way, surely the Nix should exploit the space.
I thought that was a Herbert-era formation that would not be repeated by a Merrick-era formation
Whatever fans may think of the merits of both managers, this habit of following the ball like schoolboys has no place in pub football nevermind A-league football
[If anyone questions this formation, you are not watching the game from behind the posts at home games] 
Too bombastic? No! This shit happens!
