Correct. I'm sure Ricki hasn't taken off an attacker for a defender all season

That's because he doesn't seem to do tactical changes during games...

...Yes he does.  The Brisbane game showed that.

Well if you're going to just post sweeping statements with no examples and don't specify a specific game/s..

He does make tactical changes btw. Diego against Sydney is another one that springs to mind. Do they always work? Of course not.

Aha, there is life out there in the zone.......sweeping maybe and i never let facts...anyway, it's just a feeling that ricky's decision-making has been very defensively focused. I think that's wrong and i see that nth queensland won, so we are now at risk of staying bottom. the nix need to win tomorrow. am picking we get 2-1, possibly even 3-1. surely now is the tme for us to start scoring...

We had 17 shots at goal against these guys just a few weeks back, that sounds defensiveto me :)
Just have to get then in the net. If we don't then TVNZ will be all over the "last place" thing again.

After the Fury won last night we really need to win this game today.  Im predicting greenie to pick up a goal this afternoon. He is overdue. and I think well keep them goaless. Hopefully a good crowd in to show Smeltz what he is missing out on.

The worst fear in my life right now is walking out of the stadium this evening wishing we had at least got a draw.
 
Come on Ifill and Bertos. Come out with one of your blinders.

Ricky needs to start Costa and perhaps sub Rojas in at some point in the second half (earlier?) both alongside Greenacre.

Rojas isn't a striker.
You know we belong together...

...ok...im confused. You make post after post about us not attacking more. NOW you criticise that hes never taken an attacker off for a defender?

Allegedly

When the heck should have we taken an attacker off for a defender? Should we play 5-4-0 when we go ahead? See if we can withstand wave after wave of attack? Surely the reason we've not won the games when we were ahead was that we lost possession and seemed to lose it going forward...

I heard he was.
 
It's funny given that the season isn't even halfway yet , yet the next two games are season defining. If we don't take at least 4 points the seasons pretty much gone, or at least go's into 'must win 5 of last 8" warriors style!
