Ifill put a couple of decent balls into the box last night. One in particular across the 6 yard box that Brockie didn't get on the end of.
From what my memory can drag up, he was also only robbed of scoring a screamer on Sunday by some great goalkeeping.

Even a half fit, out of form, Paul Ifill has more class and is more dangerous than everyone else we've got
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

bringing on boyd has done nothing all season

You could argue that Waffles has done the same from the bench? Injected a bit of energy. Completely take the point on bringing on Boyd, but Ifill is the only person I can think of that we've got who is capable of one piece of magic to win us a game (or grab us a point). That is probably a sad indictment on the rest of the squad at the moment. As has been said, it's a tough call for a Coach to make.

I'm not saying Boyd is pointless, but we saw last week that he can't handle the pressure of a come from behind win/draw.
Did he do anything last week except give the ball away? This week I think he got two ok crosses in...

I thought Boyd was totally the wrong substitution last night, and even then he underdelivered against my expectations
Brockie. (Also capable of a piece of magic).
I take your point but he's more of a "I'll have a pop from the edge of the box" type player. He's not gonna get the ball wide 40 yards out, beat a couple of players and make something happen. Brockie scores great goals, but he isn't (in my opinion) capable of creating in the way that Ifill is. If that makes sense.

Ricki/Greenie or whoever, will not achieve anything as long as we have the same players. I'm not sure what ' our players are not up to standard ' people don't understand, but it has been obvious for a long time.
I'm sure someone will have these stats, but I think we have more players still playing for us when we started(2007) than any other team.
That tells me that we have not recruited any better players and were happy to go through the motions.
I am bitterly disappointed with the last few months but I am not at all surprised.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
Heart and Wanderers have more players still around from their first squad than we do, purely because they are younger. All other clubs have fewer, because they are older. I don't think it's a fair comparison Leggy.
How about average tenure of each club? Someone get out Excel.
Hopefully Greenie tries something this week

Don't think Boyd was good last night when he came on but to be fair the rest of the team wasn't either.
I honestly think he has potential - he's just a kid; 18. Fenton has a few years on him which is why he looks more ready to be a starter. Even Rojas looks crap in a team that's not playing well around him (see: the last month of Melbourne games)

"Schooled under Ricki Herbert, he needs to show some nads and do what has to be done, not what Ricki would do."
Attention JD: this is the kind of person who thinks that Ricki was the only problem. And they'll keep blaming Ricki for the next five years if they can get away with it. It's hard to give up a good scapegoat.
I knew that sacking Ricki, while possibly good in the long term, would made things worse in the short term, which is one reason I wanted no change until the off-season. How many people out there used to say to me "how could it possibly be worse?" Now you have your answer.
Doloras, really you should read the whole thing instead of cherry picking to suit your agenda.
Did you even comprehend what I wrote because it sure doesn't look like it
Surely Downey should get a run in the side before he's cut.
He must be sh*t if he cant get on the bench amongst this lot

Yeah JD - suck on that. People blaming people for things people do. Shameless.

Wrong, not looking for a scapegoat, please try again.
Check these off as you go about your next fallacy
Jesus wept, you guys got your scalp, you got someone sacked, can't you be happy without continuing to blame him for everything that still goes wrong?

Tell me what Greenache could have done in 2 days to improve the team's performance significantly?
I reckon he's used the same line up and gameplan that RH would have used simply because there was no time to install anything else. Probably [I hope] we will see sometyhing more in his style this weekend. If not, then he just isn't head coach material in my book.
Changes I'd hope to see would be Stein coming in and starting in place of someone and probably the same with Boxhall. Swap Lia with Sanchez if the injured guy [name!!!!] isn't back.
