R18 vs Newcastle Jets | Thurs 7th Feb | 9:50pm | SS4

That's a great finish

That'd be right, fudgeing hopeless he's been all season.

for all that dominance....life is unfair sometimes.

COYN we can turn this around!

I'd back us winning from here.

Bloody good game so far. Comical defending for that goal but we have looked bloody good so far

Newcastle think they've got this with 1......they have no idea!

Seems like this is not going to be our game..

ouch!

bs reffing- great challenge Mandi. 

Singh not having the best game is he

Could be 2-1 if moss hadnt been awake tonight.

This is not good atm

Man these commentators hate Mandi.

it was from behind, and technically a shoulder to the back. foul for sure, although nothing different ti what Hoffman and boogard have been doing to singh.

Newcastle player goes over from soft touch in the hip/back "surely that should be a yellow."

Wellington player goes over from soft touch in the hip/back "not sure that should be a foul there, he's gone down very easily there"

The commentators have been ok - still better than the dross served up here in NZ.

"That's your final warning Mr Krishna" as he fouls for the first time.

Don't know if I'd go that far! You can tell they are both in their commentary box with Wellington hate-boners haha

The only way to shut these Aussie commentators is for the Nix to come out in the second half and spank the Jets

Pretty bloomin' poor half by us.

Yes, we had lots of possession early on, Newcastle started extremely slowly, but we didn't really do enough to punish them for it. 

After going down we've looked even less likely.

Dura got done twice in the area for that goal

Moss made two very good saves, hit the post and we had a couple other dangerous balls in the box. Newcastle offered very little, but scored one that came down to individual brilliance more than anything.

We have dominated, got in behind well and created chances. If we put in a similar 45, with a little more quality on the final ball etc we will win this game.

No point dominating if they don't take their chances. We still give the ball away far to easily at times and some of our guys are far to quick to hit the deck. FK off Mossy.

Ar you blind? We hit the post, Moss had a some super saves.

After the goal we went a bit flat but we will come back and we will win that. We are clearly the better team.

The better team does not always win. 

Just as well there is two halves for the pessimists to feast on... unless of course we win!

If we don't score in the first 10min of 2nd half. time to bring on Sherdian. This is the sort of game i think he can have big influence either attracting defenders so others can score, or score himself.

Rudan will have the boys fired up for the next 45!

Kind of disagree - I think Newcastle have had just as many, if not more, big chances. They are playing on the counter and we're getting done down the left.

Newcastle disrupted our game with a lot of niggly fouls; it worked. 

Roy needs to do more for me. Singh too. Step up. 

Singh, Rufer, Mandi, the FBs and CBs between them need to be contributing a goal more games than not. Can't expect Krishna and Williams to do it all. 

Fenton and Cacace both had some sort of opportunities that half. Particularly Fenton's. 

Ridenton mentioned twice in the first half both times for fouls and has had no impact

Even the one eyed commentators are saying we dominated but we beaten by a moment of individual brilliance.

and dutifully subbed for his "effort"

What the fudge was Dura doing there

Not really a lot outside of that, and I didn't think we were as good in possession as we should be. I thought Newcastle were poor and while we had possession and did make a few chances, not really that great. Maybe I'm a bit harsh due to frustration.

We are good until we get to the box, then we are really ineffective

We can't wait for a wonder goal from Williams or Krishna every time.

I've been so disappointed with Singh's efforts on goal this season; he's got such a good left foot but hasn't used it.

We just defended a corner terrible again - free man. What the fudge?

SIngh simply has to be stronger in those one to one challenges.

we've got to close Vargas out of the game, why does he have that much space?!

Bloody hell, free header for Vargas, lucky not to be 2 down!!

We've absolutely lost the plot this half so far
