Nix vs Brisbane Roar, Sunday 7pm SS3

I'm looking forward to the away fans in Brisbane. Usually a good turnout and this guy will definitely be there:

Sounds like Steinlager is completely out of favour now - that's a pretty mobile team apart from Ifill and Lia.

 Wait until the Facebook stoopids see Lochhead's name.

Facebook is not real life man....

Tony 'Designated Scapgoat' Lochhead

Brockie won't be on the bench this week.

That is a great starting XI and exactly how I would have had it, especially with Brockie out suspended.

Hogg wasn't better than Lochhead so I can see why he is dropped.

well that's two positive changes for mone, feel for Stein he has been the unlucky one, perhaps if he come on from the bench he'll get a chance to run at some tired defence?

Jr woke up at 5.30 this am and texted me to say he'd had a dream that he was the new signing for the Nix. What was that  , replied I. "IT's really good Dad because I really want to kick Berisha in the nuts ; this way I can" Oh , he's just turned 11.

Can't argue with his logic.

 So who is going to receive all the hoofball.

I Heart Locchead!

Woohoo Lochies back

So he doesn't change things and you complain, Then he does change things and you complain?

You can't base it only on their recent performances though. For all we know Lochhead is looking sharp in training, Hogg not so sharp. Hogg certainly has a lot to learn from what I saw.

Hogg had more speed and his passing was better than Lochhead. Even though it isn't much of an improved, minuscule infact, I would still pick Hogg. Also, seems like Hogg gives a damn when he plays.

According to 4-4-2 he only made 4 unsuccessful passes.  Durante and Lia were the two biggest culprits (I fully acknowledge the complete fallibility of that app though...)

Interesting. I remember a couple of occasions when he played simple passes straight to the opposition. And one when he somehow managed to hit a pretty straight-forward 7-8 yard pass to Fenton, with no pressure on either player, and managed to hit him somewhere on the hip, and Fenton was able to regather somehow as there was no CCM players around. So probably counted as a completed pass, but was a complete shocker.

hard to judge one player in that CCM game - they were all pretty poor

They'll still spell his name wrong tho!

Doesn't matter that we have been on a horrid run - I always get naively optimistic in the lead up to a new game.

3-2 Nix, Gamiero 2, Ifill 1
