Yep - I am also cut up about that bad loss in our first home game of the season. 

I still wonder if that was the sign that our backline was too slow (especially for Carney's header). 

The Jets were not a better team but they outsmarted us. We did not score even one goal despite having plenty of possession.

We had all our first choice squad playing on the day - and they managed to get away with a clean sheet by parking the bus.

Hmm, wasn't it 2-1? Or have I completely lost the plot?

On today's game, I'm tempted to wager everything I own on 0-0.

My bad, I forgot the score by now (just the bad feeling lingered).

It was 1:2, Roly's shot was deflected into Jets' net by their defender.

We played against ten men for the last 15 min to no advantage.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Anyone got a stream?

yes, it runs through the back garden, little wooden bridge over it, lovely on a sunny day like today.

Our house in Ngaio had a stream in the garden too, and my father thought of having ducks. First winter the stream flooded and turned the downstairs rooms into mud pools. So he gave up the ducks and paid for a tunnel to be built beneath the lawn. Second winter a dead sheep blocked the tunnel and the downstairs rooms turned again into mud pools. Third winter I played so much football on the lawn that I turned it into a mud pool and he had to re-turf.

I hope it's a 4-4-2 and not 4-3-3.

surely it'll be attacking 4-3-3 and defending 4-5-1?

Seriously, did any of us genuinely believe they wouldn't break their non-scoring run against the Nix? It's almost funny. Almost.

Hate to be a negative nancy but if we can't turn around this result I can't see us finishing in a play-off spot. 

I'm trying to think of four teams that we can finish above/are better than and after Central Coast, Perth, and possibly Newcastle, the other teams in the league will be difficult to leap-frog, especially if we don't get a point or three from this game. I don't see us catching Adelaide being so inconsistent.
