One four letter word sums it up. It could be repeated several times.
 
Oh well here goes...
Crowther 5.5 ADHD?? How the heck can he get ready to save a penalty if he's in midair doing his put him off dance?? Yep a couple of good stops, but so did Bolton, and he made his owrk look routine.
Troy 5.5 The wind maybe took the game away from him
McKain 6 Even though he helped give away the pen, he mostly defended well
Dura 6.5 One of the few to look comfortable on the ball. Hard when there's no midfield ahead of him
Lochie 6 Reasonable
Daniel 4.5 One good header
Lia 4 Passing?
Brown 5.5 Should have scored
Leo 5 When it was time to hang on to the ball, did he?
Caceras 4 No combinations, no hanging onto the ball
Ifill 6 Tried hard to make something happen
Costa 5.5 A good run into the box
 
Ricki why didn't one of the other subs get a go?

agree with all those there - and to who would you have brought on that would have been better Ferrante??? or diego??? neither have done anything of not this season and I can't see either making a difference in that game.....sadly our bench players have not really stepped up this season.

Queenslander 3x a year.

yeah you're probably right, but Ferrante for Lia with 15 to go, Diego for Daniel. It's time Daniel took more responsibility for making things happen.

A bit rough on Crowther after all didn't he have our only shot on goal that brought a save out of Bolton in the first half?
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Didn't bring a save, bounced over Bolton onto the roof of the net.

(Insert standard objections to /10 subjective system here.)

Scientific ratings:

Crowther 11mL  Better than Paston.
Troy 11 mL Also better than Paston.
John McKane 12mL  Looked very sprightly for a man of his age.  Still surprised that Washington signed Obama
Jon McKain 12mL
Durante  13 mL
Lochie 1000 mL (= 1 Tony Lochhead)
Daniel 8 mL
Lia 7 mL
Brown 11 mL Not Steve Gerrard enough.
Leo 8mL
Caceras 7mL
Ifill N/A  Effectively shut out of the game by Ricki Herbert.
Costa 10 mL  Probably should have tried taking a few dives.

Thought Caceres was much better than that, I'd have him ahead of Bertos and Daniel on that performance.

Agree could not understand why we did not make another substitution to try to get back in the game. Would have thought Diego on for Lia or Brown might have been tried.
