Kosta having a shocker, Tratt best on the park for us again. How many corners do we need before we actually score from one? This is so dissappointing.

Yeah, shame there's absolutely nothing going on behind them.

Reckon Nix will lose at least one to a red card and ship another couple. Score a consolation goal though.

Fox looks like he's gonna get himself sent

Unfortunately the bench is thin on options

Tratt the only one shining. Finkler weak. Fox on a mission to get sent off. Roly trying to make up for his dumb tackle. Roy and Mikey not even doing anything.

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

I just cannot see what we are trying to do defensively. So open in transition 

Normo's coming home

Tratt is at least playing football. Some of the others, not so much.

Corners, we should avoid them at all costs

McClinchy has been anonymous ls two games. Roy and Finkler both too deep  Finkler comes back too far dn when he does Roy doesn't push past him very frustrating

Is McGlinchy playing?

They are killing us down their left hand side.

We are pretty bad, sad. We make them look good, even sadder. Stupid goals. No creating any chances, Kosta, Glinchey, Krishna are they on the field?

Lia seems to be sat too close to the defence, Finkler isn't impressing himself on the game. WeeMac is drifting in and out. There's no bloody thrust in the midfield area and you can't have Kosta and Roy just waiting for the ball to come to them. 

Who's controlling the game for the Nix in the midfield?

That late challenge on Vinnie by Mahazi was a shocker. could have easily broken his leg.

What if you include last season? 

By my tally 7.5 games 17 against 2 for. 

Ernie has a couple of games to show he can stop the rot otherwise time to look elsewhere. This cannot continue 

Harsh to make Melbourne away the final test...

IIRC the KingZ (lol terrible name) went 0 and 5 to start one season. If the Nix manage to equal that next week, I'll probably cry

No one. Lia is not good enough to play the important position he has. Also not helping is weak backs he feels the need to always cover for, which is right.

Sometimes our midfelid looks like an empty parking lot.

I'd say it's on the next three games with this being one of them.

I'm betting the Kingz scored at least once in those 5 games though

Looking at it, this is the worst start to a season of any NZ club in A League history. Yikes.

Same Giergoski who lined up Louis for an aerial hit knowing he had a shoulder issue?

What was it explicitly the Nix player did wrong?

It looked to me like he was going for the ball and the two players collided, not with feet or swinging arms.  that seems to happen s lot.
