Nix v WS Wanderers Sun 13th 4.30pm

We were playing crap before Gareth said anything, this is not an excuse.

 Sydney won we are now at the foot of the ladder

 Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it - "Stand up for the Phoenix"

 All this crap against Paston is laughable. I'm sure that someone on here will have the stats, but i bet he has won MOM more than any other player.

 still an error on both players parts, Paston should have either come out and got it, or demanded siggy to clear it. Neither happened hence goal.

Were we? We've won 3 home games all season, first against a woeful Sydney side, second when the wind scored for us, and 3rd v Heart (after total football statements). So we were hardly setting the league alight, before or after Morgan spoke out.

Just love it that the phoenix are now at the bottom of the table .. love it .. totally well deserved from a team of muppets / wombles

 troll much?

 totally, I blame siggy for both goals, Paston however did himself no favours by standing there expecting siggy to do his job.

Paston is really frustrating me. He pulled off a couple class saves, made an easy one look difficult and for about the 5th home game in a row, isn't really talking to his defence. for the last three games i've seen Siggy giving him a burst for not telling him what's going on behind his back. Too old and past it? Perhaps. First half was ok in spells and the second half reminded me of our first season.

Cutesey football is entertaining but with that swirling wind today, it was time for a short passing along the ground type of game. Something else i picked up on during a couple of games last night, was the amount of times the keepers rolled the ball out to the backs to take up field. What the Nix tend to do 99% of the time is when Paston has the ball is a BIG welly up the field and giving the ball away time and again. We give the ball away far too much in this respect. 

I cant wait to see Hogg in action.

Please Ricki, have a plan "B" and for a team that doesn't play hoof ball, we sure do play a lot of hoofball. 

Suggest you watch a repeat of todays game before making such inaccurate statements.

I've watched plenty of games and stand by the comments, noone can tell me that Paston is quick off his line, or that he doesn't punch the ball too often.

negatives: paston. siggy, lia, referee, fever, dead balls

positive: the chick doing the face painting looked quite fit

 fine relace "never" with rarely, or ineffectively, anything that your ahppy with that suggests he's shite at the moment - or just over losing/playing.

on that Jeff we agree, thought you guys sounded mint at the game, and you sounded great on the telly.

I forgot to put Welnix in the negatives

yeah, their spend no money policy is starting to hurt, both on the signings front and marketing

Last year we had the leagues best defensive midfielder ( or close to it , IMO) bossing things .The number of times he cleaned up messes so the back four didn't have to... ( and making Siggy look a bit better than he is).THis year , for what ever reason ( DSB being the weirdest I've seen postulated here) , Manny has been poor. Not saying that the defensive woes are all his fault ( he wasn't even there today) but no coincidence that when he's on song  , the defense looks much tighter.

Absolute bollocks tonight. Jazz junior wanted to leave early , he was so angry. Only bonus , I made him get his face painted so I could have a chat to the paintress.

Didn't even a year to fall out of love with them for some of you.

We need money spent NOW and no more excuses about 5 year plans. There will be no team in 5 years if things continue how they are.

Funniest thing I saw on TV was this old geezer giving it the 'cheat' chant and this kid right beside him doing the same thing. Lols..

Very disappointed that I missed Chpimunks: Chipwrecked for this.

Oh, and if anyone ever calls for Totori to start again, they should get banned from the forum for at least a week.

lets see, a decent marquee midfielder who will not only improve our distribution of the ball but attract fans. Solving two problems with one hit.

Do we really think 1 player will fix all our problems? Thats why I asked the question...

one player in the right place "could" make a huge difference, yes.

^ Thats pretty poor.

I think we need a few players but you've got to start somewhere so one would be a start! The squad is desperately short of any sort of quality in depth.
