R16 vs Newcastle Jets | Fri 24th Jan | 7:15pm | RoF/SS7

big test time.

Wilson, Ball and Payne under question. Rufer too late? We'll see 

Calm lads

Wish we'd made that Rufer sub before Wilson gave the ball away just outside our box!

Good finish

2 good subs...

ohh ahh Davilaaa

Who was the first guy to give the ball away before.. Wilson? 

Rufer looks massive in the midfield haha 

What in the actual  f u c k i n g   f u c k  was that?

Absolutely woeful! But to be fair Jets deserved that. Really poor at the back from us.

**edit, my stream is extremely slow ?**

comedy of errors X 2

Think so. Then D.Ball.

yup -it was dreadful

Cheese & Crackers. And inspired substitute for chippies!

F*CK THE JEST!!!

Feel like this one's not done yet.

what's that yellow for Taylor about? Hmm. So you can absolutely clatter Ball and Davila in the first half. 

good switches from Hooper 

Must be the worst game I've seen from Payne today. Got us in trouble yet again.

Devlin has made a huge amount of tackles

He has. Easily MOM today.

Sweaty palm time.

Marinovic!

why are we sitting off them?

Marinovic is playing pretty well too

MARINOVIC!!!!  AucklandPhoenix, I take back every "German pub football" comment I ever made!

Great game 

take that win.

Phew that was a tough watch for the last five. Well done Nix!

Bloody brilliant game of football. Not sure what Marcus Babbel was talking about...

How good was that save. 

Lucky, but enough grit to get there. Credit to that second half performance

cheeky and  largely undeserved 3 points -will take an ugly win -thought Newcastle deserved at least a point out of that

how the fudge did we get away with that!!!! not even in the contest and come away with 3 points!!! Stefan was a amazing. take that and run boys!!!

Boogard was impressive for them.

To be clear, this game has nothing to do with us playing badly - we didn't. Below expectations, yeah, but the Jets’ game plan was brilliant. Getting back so quickly on our counters and their deep line working wonders. They had seven or eight men in the box every time we attacked. Not parking the bus per se, just inspired effort

No need to get reactionary - we were missing Steinmann and they'd sprung a surprise with their tactical selections. Stoked with Devlin and Marinovic, both were phenomenal - Stefan has the clutch gene 

Just great! we didn't lose like I suggested. 

I love this Royz!

Agree Boogard is a big player for the Jets, leader and all that. Feel like we played better last week and were unlucky to lose. This week we were lucky to win. So i'll take that.

I didn't get to watch this game, how did hooper and the new guy, Wilson play?

Out of 10?

We didn't play badly? We played horribly for the vast majority of the game.
