At least nobody can fault the Fever Zone this week. Way more people than last week, and louder and many more chants were sung.

A beautiful day for football... A pity Wellington didn't play any. That will keep the crowds coming.

 even in a transition phase you expect the players to be interested. Brockie was half asleep all game, the midfield 3 looked woeful! Sydnee without ADP and we lose to them? WTF???

Sure there will be a MOM later, but quite frankly I won't be voting as there was not one player that I would give my vote to.

 for the first 60 mins we were ok defensively - but that's about all we did ok.....we looked short of ideas, lacked any creativity - if this is what happens when Ifill gets shut down and has a poor game we are in trouble.

To be honest, I would say there are only a couple of right-backs in the league who are better than Leo is. Marrone and Manny are the only ones that come to mind.

My thoughts

It's games like today when I think we need a marquee. Because lets be honest, we currently have no player who stands out and lifts the team

 Totori - I don't even know what to say.

Boyd - doesn't cut it for me.

and what is up with playing Muscat, Lia and smith in midfield ? I's pretty much a 2nd defensive line. We have no playmaker/someone who can actually pass the ball to our attacking players.

we lack 'flare' in our game. No wonder no one wants to pay to watch it

Oh, and Paston wears lead boots......

You are right Prof, but the defense  is not the problem. We lack creative players to open up the  opposition defense.

I really hate complaining but what else to do after the recent results?

New tactics are needed ASAP. Smith + Lia + Manny is working. Dump Smith or Lia for fenton. He isn't perfect but he spark a hell of a lot more than what we currently have.

Ifill is in poor form, but he'll be back. Keep playing him.

I thought Dura was great 2nd half, especially in the first bit of it. He seemed to be the only player to want to run with the ball.


With the crowds.. Dare I say it that I think we need a Marquee. If we can get another 1-2k per game to see a marquee then do it. 7.5 in the sun isn't enough, and it will be more like 5k next game after all the casuals sat through that today. Not sure if ive ever seen Westpac empty that quickly before.

 that was just plain disgraceful and its time people drew a line in the sand. we have a team who struggles to score a goal a game and a defence with more leaks than a christchurch roof. Ive suffered through 9 below average results, but this is just taking the piss now

Sure it did - those games where people left early a couple of seasons back.

Gareth has already said we won't be spenind money on a marquee - and if we continue to play like that on fine days the crowds will stay away. Didn't helpthat today was competing against Sata's Party and Carols. I'm wishing I went with the family to Santa's party.

Rosetinted? Are we not allowed to commend players who we think are doing a good job anymore?

Get Sanchez on the park now..... Lia, Smith and Muscat are all the same mould/type of player, our midfield can't create, hold the ball or take it up the middle effectively. They are all playing like Tim Brown (but at least TB scored goals for us!)

We better do what Sydney did to us next week Vs Adelaide
