R3 vs Western Sydney Wanderers | Sat 3rd Nov | 7:35pm | Westpac Stadium

Yep, with these conditions there are going to be plenty of thrills and spills. Let's just hope we have the thrills and they have the spills.

Looks to be approx 500 people there, surprised that many are braving this sharke

Good early sighter by  Butters

Fudge off Roly

Roly popular until he stopped playing well.

Jesus that was close

This is going to be a tough game to watch - no structure - just hoof it and hope the wind causes chaos. Meh.

Can't make it to the game at the ChCh pub tonight as we are hosting the ChCh YF stalwarts Fiona and Danny for dinner. Danny as some of you might know has significant health issues so pub not an option but we're hoping for a stream / link suggestion.

NB found it via wiz1.net, no worries

Offside?

Too easy..good pass Roly

Terrible defence

We look all at sea at the back - what's changed? What's happened to the solidity? Have had 0 going forward to, bad signs.

have sent you a message

Nope, Doyle (?) well out of alignment playing him on.

Cacace I think

Cacace I think

What a crappy start - I had so much hope for this season too

That shocking attempt at a pass by Dura sums up this opening stanza

Clip of the goal

Watching on a small TV with no HD so hard to make out.

Keep it on the fudgeing ground

Cheers, definitely Cacace, he also just jogged back with his hand up rather than putting his foot down and scrambling, somewhat allowing Baumjohann the free shot.  Very poor.

We give a way a lot of dumb fouls - especially Fenton

Midfield is looking terrible today, passes going nowhere.

Defence caught out twice (at least) so far...

Don't think we have had a shot on target.

Chin up and have some backbone mate - one goal down in 11 minutes is not a way to write off a season.

Dura is all at sea this game - misplaced paces, letting marker go etc. - Nichols struggling too

Shocking tackle by Rufer - idiotic 

Nichols giving the ball away softly a fair bit

Kamau is a canny selection. His pace has got us on the run.

Basically everyone is playing bad. We always play shark in the wind and the rain, the great irony of the Nix.

Bet on Rufer being sent off

Nice over the top pass from Roly. Made like a true Welly native!

some of our squad shortcomings coming to light..Cacace doesn't really seem to have the technique to be that far forward.  Surely Williams would have been better option there.

Can someone teach Fenton how to cross pls

Williams as a wing back? alright mate

Love seeing Taylor on a run - Cross a bit off though...

Bit harsh. Was about to say, one of the few positives so far is that Fenton has made 3-4 decent attacking incursions already.

9/10 for dive

WTF, surely Krishna was just shoved in the back there?

blatant push wtf

No..but we have enough defenders I think on today

So VAR fail then.
