Well that was all a bit rushed - late to the game waiting for internet access, see eight minutes when it's already 2-1, catch the equaliser, get out my first couple of posts for the season.
15 minutes to get composed

Fever Tee - check
Drink - check
Cheese toasties - being cooked

Sorted

WTF about the defense, all the defense in the centre is AWOL.

Nice lay-off from Bertos to Greenacre, lovely assist. Bertos has been chasing the ball showing some passion to get the scoreboard ticking over for the Phoenix.

And Siggy, beautiful header!!!

AAAAAAAAAAArgh!!!!!
 
they just played like it was an early preseason match. Crap defending in the centre. Muscat and Locky going OK
 
where is our central midfield? Troy and Leo doing well but Newcastle are having a fieldday down the centre....
 
This is just like watching a rerun of last year.....lonely strikers living off scraps. Long balls hoofed down the middle. Newcastle are a crap team and we are making them look good!!!

Hopefully we test out Kennedy early.


Honestly - have you seen anything in first 45 that proves them wrong?

considering we have essentially two defensive midfielders, how was song free for the second goal, it was sigmund marking hoffman who had to leave him to attempt the block
 
pretty poor organisation tbh, thnk it would be better with a 'settled' back four

if we had a decent attacking midfielder, that'd be neat. Come back Fred....

The defence is very disorganised, can't make their minds up whether to play an offside trap or not. Lochhead is looking good though.
 
Those horrible long balls we keep playing...grrrr!

happy to go in at 2-2 after that start - a better 2nd hapf at the back and 3-2 would be a good start

To be fair Harper predicts we will make top 6. Plenty of nice thing to say about Siggy too.

Three things

1: Brown and McKain cannot play together. To the bench you go Tim.

2: I think 99% of people here obviously think Ben Sigmund can walk on water and his sh*t don't stink. He scored a goal but only to make up for the 2 he conceded and almost a 3rd. Sorry Ben, throwing your arm up and playing the offside trap doesn't work in the A League. Leave that for Mainland Premier when you get back here. Defense is somthing you play, like marking another man, not playing like de post that holds up the defense.


Where are the Dodd haters now?

Correct. The comment that was actuall made was that the two teams are predicted to be the two bottom teams and that they are out to prove them wrong. The quote was taken out of context.

However - worst 45 of all the matches so far

I'll counter the negativity with positives.

Bertos and Hearfield are our wide men. End of. They look vastly improved, delivery is much improved on last year and in Bertos' case, he's giving it some leather.

Greeacre and Ifill are living on scraps because of the lack of midfield delivery but we expected that because of the lack of game time. They do both show enough to suggest they are gifted and when they finally get Phoenix game miles on the clock, they will be dynamic.

McKain is still a rock solid Def. midfielder.

Agreed he's pulling all the strings at the moment

Hopefully Daniel or Diego will fill that role in home games.
