roly has delivered some great free kicks today, but his passing has been his worst in the stripey
What an absolute fudgeing disgrace this is. Cannot even string together simple passes
Appiah has come on and done absolutely nothing.
I dont agree with this, I think for a player who has come back from injury with little match practice has done ok, considering that the rest of the team has played very poorly
if Appiah cuts back instead of passing one more fudgeing time
a.haak
Smeltz red carded also, but they have already done the damage
What did he do??
yeh missed it writing a comment
glad i opted for the cricket, saw the half time highlights, what utter ming. Nix been so good in recent weeks, what a real disappointment
yeah fair call, probably joy the ideal game for your first run.
E's Flat Ah's Flat Too
bugger.
oh well, i could not hear anything- thankfully they could hear nothing of me either. was a bit sweary.
Renew the angst!!!
Thank god that's over. The only positive outcome is that no one was (physically) injured. Oh, and we learned that Ridenton is not a right back.

Lia? Thought he was clutching at his leg in the 2nd half before going off.

It was a good experience for the bloke, Ernie will now point out to him what he did wrong and whip him into shape.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Stupidly kicked out at Siggy after being fouled, so no free kick to SFC.
Probably a brainfade, cause they're actually great mates.
Siggy did not even look complain. Class.

He did not play badly.
I think he got subbed off as a precaution.Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days
Kotahitanga. We are one.
What I got out of this game is that we probably would have leaked a couple of goals anyway even with WeeMac and Burns on the pitch.
We did not score with a makeshift frontline, but equally I do not think having Fenton in the backline would have helped our defence. With the full-strength squad we might have lost 1:2 or thereabouts. Sydney are playing very well away this season so I do not see it as a "debacle" or anything of the sort.
As it is we have a plausible excuse to give to the board; but the reality is that we got outplayed today by a better team.

My main concern is that not having Riera next week is a bummer. Roly will have to step up.

Yep, Riera getting sent off was stupid. Royally screws us against Melbourne. I can handle the loss.

Not sure if I agree with that. A full Nix line up is a far different proposition from today's cobbled together team. Sydney were very good in that they pressed us heavily in all the areas we were weakest, yet all three goals came as result of extremely poor defending, not Sydney brilliance.
Also to be competitive in a match you have to achieve good levels of passing accuracy. Ours was simply appalling, with many of our most experienced players at fault. By the end all pretence of Ernie's gameplan had gone out the window and we were reduced to slinging in hopeful crosses RickiNix style. I think we basically gifted them the points.

Nix passing accuracy was better than Sydney. We gifted them three goals, considering the changes to the team, Sydney really didn't create a lot of clear cut scoring chances (but neither did the Nix). Every so often Ernie has a tactically poor game, that was one of them, but nothing to angst about.

How many was it?
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Oh yeh not too bad. Hope the game doesn't put them off next week.
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
yeah 6237...about 1000 left at halftime and it gradually got less.
Ref wasn't great either.
Our passing was rubbish..there were multiple passes in a row to opposition.
Not looking forward to next meeting.

Yeah lots of people around us left at halftime too - tonnes of angst in the croud
I think there is a lot or angst going around all day, the warriors, nix and now the cricket team
"Phoenix till they lose"
