Good article by Harris in SST today. Key points:
- need to ask themselves if Herbert, in his 6th year as coach, is on track to deliver a team capable of seriously challenging for the A League title (has stats to back up the doubts)
- Nix before this season scored 158 goals in 126 games - less than 1.25 goals a game
- This season - 1.3 so far
- Nix supporters aren't being fooled by the spin about making the playoffs in the last 3 seasons
- While developing young players to play possession based football may help long term - most clubs buy the great majority of their players
- "Fortunately the Nix only need 3 or 4 to become a good side."
- Muscat the only midfielder of the Muscat, Smith, Lia trio of league winning quality. That's where they need to splash the cash
- Get Rojas and Barbarouses back. That will get the turnstiles clicking.
