Simply

1.) weight the ball pass to feet accurately and quickly to keep high possession rate with three clear cut passing options most times.
2.) shots on goal at least 20 times per game. (i.e. a shot every 4.5 minutes)
3.) keep compact between defence and midfield positions by controlling your own area and trusting and supporting others in theirs.

Master those and we should see results following us.

I understand you want to be real but sometimes you have to learn to bullsh*t, because it's good for your confidence and confidence is that bit that gives you that extra push to win.
Yep, bullsh*t will do it every time. Just ask Graeme Henry.

Still alive and sooooo looking forward to next Sunday.
 
Two out of three - not too bad.
 
P.S. Golden boot or not Ifill is a legend and Greeny would die for the cause.
He dribbles a lot and the opposition dont like it - you can see it all over their faces. (Ron Atkinson)

I want to see at least one game this season in which we score 5 goals.  6-0 against Newcastle would be gold.  Can't wait.  I'm on tenterhooks.


Wasn't Newcastle but Gold Coast is even better.

his only shooting of note against the Nix this season has been shooting his mouth off,
 
with a bit of luck Iffy and the Nix will have the last word!!

OK, so we all want the Nix to win the league. But this thread is about more modest aims.

You have to name 3 smaller things you would like to have happen this season. Things that are possible, not unreasonable, but would still be an achievement.
Maybe it's to have a particular player score a goal.

My three are:
  • Beating Adelaide. The only team of the other original 7 who we haven't beaten yet. I'd probably prefer it at home, but either is OK.
  • Jon McKain to get more recognition. He's one of our best players in my opinion. He should have been selected for the A-League Socceroos squad.
  • Play a beautiful passing game like we did in season 1.


I think you get 3 out of 3 here
