Didn't Stein get the first one in the opener?


You are right I just checked. I thought Berisha scored first but it was Stein

Dura's testicles scored first too against Perth

I'm a late comer hoping Ifill is on the bench and will come on for the incompetent Hicks.

Take of Lia, put on Ifill at the break

We need to play Heart.

But also:

Heart need to play us

Hmmm, now I'm confused...

Both sides are not really playing that well. First 20 mins was terrible and boring.

Would love to have a goal scorer in our team

and we're still persisting in playing Brockie and Huysegems at the same time

Take Brockie off please. I can't believe Ernie hasn't realised Brockie and Stein don't work together yet.

Dear god in heaven it's frustrating being a Nix/AWs fan these days. We've become perennial no-hopers. Shit, even Newcastle can win off the back of massively flukey goals handed to them on a plate but we can't take a trick.

Hicks is fine. Get Riera for Lia and Ifill for Huysegems

don't think Hicks has been that incompetent. Thought he'd looked good...Hicks certainly doesn't seem to be the problem out there...he isn't playing in the right mid position right??

missing that pen has knocked Brockie's confidence, Hernandez hasn't got going and sod all other players look likely. We are good in the middle third and cack in the attacking third

Oh my, can't believe I am saying this but TV is making more sense than all of you!
We all agree Brockie and Donkey (Huysegems) don't work together, so you all demand to take off the striker that scores all our goals??  Take off the one who scores none (Donkey)
Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hicks is OK but he does need to protect the ball better at this level. We do look terribly ponderous up front though. Quite frustrating that we don't have anyone with pace that can take advantage of the amount of ball we are getting around their penalty area and run at their defence. It's amazing how much a player like that can open up the attacking options.

Just realized we have 3 wingers on the bench and we're playing a formation without wingers.

Man I can't wait till next season when some of these overpaid Terry-era players are gone and Ernie can build a balanced squad.

Just BTW Nix angst is so much more enjoyable than AW angst.



Looking forward to the Ernie angst after the match.

This! If we are only to pick one striker then we have to pick Brockie as although he someitmes goes missing he actually scores goals.

I thought it was left side, but quite frankly in the last 15mins of that half I'm not sure.

I like Hicks. Needs to get a bit stronger on the ball, but has some quality, that's for sure.

The Brockie-can't-score angst seems to have leaked over into the Nix part of the forum
