vs CCM Friday 4th 7:30pm

Dear Welnix.

If you happen to read this on Saturday morning whilst sipping your coffee please stop reading and sign us some more players!

Regards,

C-Diddy

You think?

gah... dissapointing. very dissapointing.

is it over yet?

Yeah, we have started poorly before. You have got to be gutted with that though. 4 point from 5 games and three of those were at home.

pANIC STATIONS.

We have lost more at home than we have away so far.  That would be a first

I think that will be Griffiths last ggame for awhile lol

Two straight losses to two very average teams at home - with brisbane next week. Not to mention we can't play away for sh*t. Our only advantage is gone. This season is a write off. I blame the stingy purses of Wellnix Therk2011-11-04 21:31:57

did Brown get a yellow card near the end ??

Not very inspiring is all I can say

Another night where I have to have a cry and a wank to get to sleep!

At least with Adelaide playing Heart this weekend we cant be in last place

I think we've found a cheap 6-7 foot striker, and solved the Paston v Warner dilemma with one injury-time corner

Nice

I'm getting sick of us playing with 10 men every week...

What did Brown do all game!!??  I could only see Smith and Sanchez in the middle of the park!!

Now even head bondage is not working on him anymore so Herbert please drop him!!

Also quite "sad" to watch Hearfield plays, he was quick and threatening.

That was some horrendous stuff - we're going to be in for a long season.

I cant believe that we were so poor after the last two games.
It is time to take the blinkers off and be honest.
We have Daniel that appeals everything and is the best diver in the league.
We have Manny, who if he stops trying to kick the oppo. of the park and is playing in midfield(would be our best player)
Tim Brown who only really contributes when we are dominating. It is no good hanging out in the oppo. penalty area hoping to score when you are needed back in the mid-field.
Our defending today was shocking.Durante today spent more time putting his hands around the ref.(which is a yellow card) than anything else.
For me, I would drop Tim, put Manny in midfield and I reckon we would do a lot better.

NO RED CARDS! Yessss!!!

FAAAAARKN average, we played liuke we were in 7th spot and not hoping to be enywhere else!
whole team needs a rocket up their arsE!

No spark, no enthusiasm, no ideas, no creativity and no heart today, what the hell happened from that fired up team from Sunday who passed the ball so well??

The flatest Nix performance I've seen in a long time, very dissapointed, and the least animated Ricki we've had so far this season too.

We really do need some depth in this squad from middle to front.

Only good thing about that game is that we don't have any players suspended for next week. Was very even in the first half, and we f**ked it up in the second.

I must say, that the Fever Zone went very quiet when we were down, both times. We only sing when we're winning? Poor form guys.

Brown and #4 at the back are awful players. Infact that #24 isnt much better. Possible wooden spooners im afraid. Muscat done well again i thought. Release Brown and Bertos and try bring in some decent players.

Plus points Sanchez, Smith (although they played him to deep), Danial was ok, not great but ok. Greenie ran his tits off yet again.It really showed in the back 4 that we missed Siggy.

Please Welnix, we need Killen + midfielder + defender. Freshen the squad or we're doomed. What are they waiting for? Taking another year to sign players will make no difference, our aging squad will just be a year older.

Even in the first half-you are kidding. 7 shots to 2.
63& possession against. Which game were you watching.
We were better in the second half.

You were close.

A dire performance and likely wooden spooners unless some cash is spent.

Looking at the positives here, sanchez is really looking the goods. Well done to him as initially i had my doubtsAucklandPhoenix2011-11-04 22:36:08

I was watching from my biased position in the fever zone. From there, it looked even, probably because I could see what was happening down our end better. Plus I didn't look at stats or anything, just posted my observations. When I watch the replay I may change my mind.

worst performance in quite some time

i thought we would have been more experienced in the gentle Wellington breeze, but we really gave the ball away

i wonder if Ricki's determination to avoid suspensions was taken too far and we let them bully us

some good football in (small) patches but nothing like our previous performances when we showed crispness and movement

still pleased to have a club to support but I'm not sure how long we can sustain losses before it's effect on attendances would start to worry the new owners

separate post about my biggest disappointment of the night follows

Acknowledging we are in desperate need of a striker and Ifill, our only class player, is out I thought we were decent in our first few games.

I'm not impressed with Nicky Ward laughing as he came off, perhaps he didn't realise we had just lost our second home game in a row.

We were beaten by a better team....better players and better coached.

Brown mystifies me. I can only assume he's low on self-confidence as his positional play suggests he simply doesn't want the ball.

Oh for another Sanchez.
