I would love to know what goes through Ben Sigmunds head. He runs into Heskey and bounces off of him. Who is he whinging at? Himself for leaving the defensive line again?

You can see the players have the right idea going forward. Its just a little bit more effort on execution. Sometimes its so bloody close. I would hate to play us when it clicks.

Old habits die hard. We look a lot better with Ifill and Manny but we did take quite a few poor options in defence and attack.

I'll be happy if we just stagger through to a 1-0 win.

The angst you are always giving Siggy, ( we know you don't like him )Yes he has not been playing well lately. Today he has been fine, He put the threw ball for Brockie one on one and Ifill ball threw leading up to the goal.

Sure hope we don't just sit back this half....we kind of went back into our shell after the goal. Guys just need to be positive and not do anything dumb(you defenders) and we should be OK. Jets look woeful and clueless on attack...they are our bunnies.

COYN!!!!

If he is playing fine, you have low standards. I think (and have mentioned this in about 2-3 posts) that we look good going forward. Just the execution needs work but thats to be expected. We are making some basic mistakes at the back as a unit. Say, is that where Sigmund plays? How many mins to get a warning for gobbng off at the ref. Yes I don't like him but the other 9 on the park (save Dura who is a rock normally but average today) are playing reasonable. Even Tony.

I know. Even Fred (and I'll give him credit that he has gotten better) is not that mundane.

 Really?  I don't think Lochy's having a good game at all. That yellow was particularly dumb.

Also LOLed when he said that Ben Williams was "brokering no nonsense".

Some great commentary on the radio:

Piney: "I've got a stat here, Ben Williams has handed out 36 yellows and four reds in 15 games in which he's refereed the Phoenix"

Chote: "Help me with the math there Piney, is that 10 a game!"

If Lochy was smart he would've gone down when he got that slight push in the back. Williams may well have given a penalty.

 One thing that is worrying me - particularly as I thought it at halftime against WSW - is that our passing isn't quite good enough. I hate the use of the word "crisp" in footballing terms, but Jest passes seem to be fast and direct. Our passes seem to be either too slow or a foot wide, and half the time a Jest player is up our receiver's bum before he gets the ball.

You mean that they take only 1 touch and know where the next pass is going before they receive it? I've been lamenting that for a while.

Brocks should have done a double flip flack then tried to knee it in. One way to make unremarkable,  remarkable.

If thats the standard for a 2nd yellow card (and it was nothing more than a trip on a player that was never getting a ball that was going for a GK) then our players should be worried. Free kick yes, 2nd yellow? Not convinced.

On the balance of us getting shafted this year though, its about bloody time.

Brockie really shouldn't be getting called offside so often. They just don't need to, we arn't desperate for a goal.

Agree. The whistle sounded like a penalty whistle.
