Nix vs CCM, 11th Nov 4:30pm (+ T'Dubs vs. Canterbury curtain raiser)

I wonder who was marking him...

 FUCK

A total lack of ideas, cohesion or fluidity going forward. We can look forward to 5000 crowds if we continue to serve up this garbage.

And there's the goal. Total crap.

That was poor defending from Sigmund. There was no need to come off McBreen to go at Rogic when he had beaten no one. End result, we are now down a goal. And before anyone tries defending him, Totori has been hung for doing the same further up the field.

Huysegems off? Ricki is an idiot.

 Totori for Stein. That is not a good sub at all.

David Chote: "I don't understand it" [Heisigems sub]

 dissapointing second half so far, need some drive from somewhere

oh here comes lia

 Lia for Lochhead????

 Lochhead has to be injured. Never gets dragged.

 bertos now at left back....

I thought Leo had been beaten on first look and that drew Siggy out. Both yellows were silly & suspensions are going start hurting us soon.

Lord, we need a miracle!

was that attendance I just heard 6558?

 siggy charged in again on Rogic there and beaten easy

shit he needs to learn to hold goal side

 Jesus Matt Ryan is one lucky SOB

David Chote: "The 2nd half has been a little bit dispiriting".

Ifill has honestly been woeful this season. Despite all of these attacking options there is no spark up front at all! Brockie, Ifill and Fenton have all been pretty anonymous for huge parts of this season. This new formation is just not working but we persist with it every week as Ricki has no plan B.

Thats a new one. A yellow for headbutting a players jaw...

 Where is the never give up attitue?? it looks like noone is caring

Dear Fred

That was not a cross. Thats just what Totori does. He will shoot from 60 out if he can.

Mike.

 i still prefer a 4-3-3 formation, think it works better for the nix

It is not the job of a fan to change things, that is what Ricki is paid for. Unfortunately he seems incapable of changing anything and is happy just to hope a goal comes from somewhere.

 He doesnt have to have one. He's not the manager.

But why not give guys like Lindsay a run? Cant be any worse than this. And i'd drop smith for lia from now on tbh. Play waffles wide (where he's played his whole career). Start Moss as striker?

David Chote: "The Phoenix are offensively at sixes and sevens".

 i cant remember the last time we have played winning football... the sydney game seems so far away

Ian Crook quits at Sydney. Wow.

But I didn't say I did have a better one? Are we playing utterly crap or aren't we? Ian Crook has just quit and Sydney are ahead of us! Ricki somehow escapes criticism time and time again but this is abysmal.

We've won one a-league match in the last eight months.

Let the carving of the Sunday roast begin....

Sack Herbert!
