Points of Note from me...

1) Does Manny add anything to our side anymore, he was constantly turned inside out and it's been happening time and time again this season. Does have Doyle there make us any weaker?

2) Surely Boyd will get a start of Brockie. Putting any 'issues' aside for Boyd, he must start ahead of a player who is leaving us in 2 games time. Both of Boyd's finishes were class, shows the value of playing in the reserve team and the confidence he gets from scoring.

3) I still wonder about the  value of Lia as well. He was almost directly responsible for their goal (again). Would Ridenton do any worse and although away against ADL I can see EM logic of playing Lia, i wonder whether his time has come.

4) We have a good squad. Our back ups to losing Krishna and Burns are two NZ Internationals and a Costa Rican international. You can argue about their impact at the international level, but they have played at that level -  5 times (TB), 13 (KC) and 45 (JB)

5) I wonder how popular Kenny is in the squad. After he scored his goal he ran around celebrating and then looked up and no-one was anywhere near him, and then the shot pulled back and you could see the players walking back to halfway and he ran after them, and one turned around belatedly to high-5 him.

6) We are bloody good to watch and i'm fizzing for my trip to WLG this weekend to watch the Nix live. Taking my 2 boys for the first time to the Ring of Fire to see us play the Roar.
