I must confess after the injustice of the one-sided refereeing last weekend I want the Phoenix to really win big now. I think you've been on the receiving end of some dubious officiating of late. I really hope you make the playoffs, but it's now a big ask. I just hope your supporters get behind the team regardless. The future looks bright under Ernie.

Glad to see Krishna has been rewarded with a two year contract. Personally I'd play him and Boyd up front with Stein just behind feeding them. Cunningham to me is an impact player. I'd forget about Hernandez, I don't think his heart's in it and that's reflected in his attitude. I think the Phoenix should pull out all the stops to keep Stein and let the Costa Rican go.

I feel like everyone has been overly harsh on Carlos. The last few games he played he was brilliant and in this latter half of this season he has often been the one dragging us through.

Think he had problems settling in; his family wasn't here, the weather was shocking and he just came back from a league that treated him like crap. Didn't help the team wasn't playing well, either.

Sure, he's made some comments in the media that he shouldn't have (though I'd argue that perhaps Ernie didn't talk to him as much as he should have after that game and perhaps didn't explain the reason for leaving him out properly) but the most recent ones seem to be born more out of a desperation to play even when injured; and I don't think that desire is a bad thing.

Please, regardless of anything else the player should not be talking to the media without Ernie's permission.

Was suggested he may be back if we made the finals. Timmins is an injury replacement for Riera.

Doesn't mean the guy should be lambasted and his past performances forgotten, which is what seems to be happening.

Who has the potential to win us more games, Carlos or Stein.

Answer that and you have your answer to the question who do we keep.

I much prefer Stein, but if I was to look to a player for a moment of brilliance to win us a game or make something our of nothing Carlos wins everytime.

Especially with Boyd and Krishna now playing up top, with their pace and inclination to get in behind the line, Carlos' passing range will be invaluable.

Confident Boxall will go OK but Siggy is a big loss for us tonight. I thought I was reconciled to the whole Ben Williams disaster but thinking about it today I got furious all over again. We would've almost certainly had two points more going into this game, making it not quite the do-or-die affair it now is. Not to mention the lack of one our most consistent players and as a result yet another rejig of the formation.

Still, if Krishna and Boyd show the sort of form we saw last week who knows, we might possibly pull it off.

Virtually the same scenario as the last time we played them over there,iirc.

Just got to maintain the belief and back the team to the bitter end.
