Not being able to play on the road because of the "travel factor" always was a complete and utter cop out


Yep, you got it there brother. This was a good road trip, and consider that a couple of guys would have a jetlag nibbling at their heels (Dura, Brockie) yet did not seem to show it.
In previous seasons I heard the phrase "Nix don't travel so well" so many times under Ricki Herbert I almost started believing it myself.  Clearly it was just lack of confidence among the players, perhaps aware that RH was running out of ideas and had no answers.
