R1 vs Newcastle Jets | 7pm Sun 11th Oct | 12pm Backbencher

Why are our players slipping over all the time?

Fudge me .. Roly and Roy only ones who look decent. Powell real poor

All the play is in their half but we are not getting into shooting positions.

Who gives a flying fudge about the commentators?. Its probably one the most pathetic things fans do these days is whine about commentators. Just turn the fudgeing sound down.

Why shoot there ffs

Is that Roys 4th foul?

shark ref too - we always get the trainees

Take that. Its reward for possession and territory if nothing else.

Yes! Roly!

Well in Roly

F uck yea!!!!

phew

well, we;ve looked like crap, strikers crap, marking crap, not even looked like scor......BONEVACIA!

missed it..went to put outside lights on for wifes return.  Waits for replay.

We seem to have played a ball to the back post ineffectively several times...

missing burns :(

Looking pretty good down that right side with roy. I think rolly is playing well. Powell....dont know about him yet.

Ernie said a few days ago that this was the best Nix team he had ever had. I must have missed something. Our midfield and strikers  'might ''

be OK but our back four is as slow as you can get. No good scoring 3 every week if you concede 4.

Passing has been sub standard in the first half.

Roly is a class player but his passing has been rubbish.

He's just talking us up. I don't mind it. May even start to believe it if we win enough...

Maybe I am watching a difference game.

Most of the game is in Newcastles half

We have most of the possession

Roy is making their left back look silly and Fenton is getting some nice overlaps in.

The downsides are 

We have no clue about the counter attack and that's where Newcastle actually threaten us cause they have nothing else.

I can sense Roly getting frustrated as he either gets the ball in a double team or when he does have it, no one moves for him

Powell is probably playing he way to the bench and its a bit odd that he was preferred over Appiah, whom scored a boatload preseason.

Lia and Manny are more interested in retribution than football and I would be very vary of them finishing the game.

We are disjointed in the last 1/4 of the field but its not doom and gloom and feel ok with it. Most of the commentary here reminds me of game 1 against Perth last year where it was doom and gloom too.

I think it's been fine mate

Based on the 1st half only, I would be extremely surprised if Newcastle won let alone got a point. Looking at them, they are just clueless.

Ive just had to hold a sharke in for 3hrs due to screaming, hungry babies. 

I will take 1-1

Not a bad croud turn up, Roly the Man - Cmon Nix 

That was nearly a foul throw from Fenton.

Penalty. Uh oh!

yay penalty. Penalties make me nervous.

and so it continues..

roy taking it-as you were..

We still cant score a penalty

Well we wont get this penalty. Our record on penalties is terrible.

The whole croud is praying

so predictable

Ffs

fudge me how hard is it to score pens

Converted 1 of 4 last year???????

That is a fudgeing disgrace

what a  surprise
