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.

The Nix win 52% of their games at the Stadium, highest in the league. The Stadium also averages 2.85 goals per game, highest in the league. Yes we suck away from home, but if you goto a home game odds are your going to come away from it happy.

Maybe that's the problem, winning at home is just too predictable. Boring boring Phoenix.
