Felt like the team was going for it in the Central Coast game - we just got tactically outplayed this time around.
Speed and width are being rewarded this season, and we seem a touch slower than last season and are playing narrowly.

The one thing that makes me really proud to be a Nix fan is hearing the Fever chant louder when the boys concede. Sure it is sh*t when they get smashed but true fans keep supporting to the end. I've only been a fan since the start of last season, so I've experience far more highs than lows with the team. But supporting a team through the lows is what diehard supporters do and makes it all the more rewarding when the team is up. So when we're down by three, hold your flag aloft and sing "Oh Wellington" defiantly. The team will know they were poor, but when they see their true fans staying loyal they won't want to let you down. That's my take anyway.

Stripes,by your logic it's my lecturers fault that I failed university.
It's my coaches fault I'm not playing in the EPL.
The players have to take their share of the responsibility,and they'll be the first to acknowledge that.
Yet you seem to be going on like it's all rickis fault? Pahleaze

I'm not intending to use some eternal logical principles to solve a living problem. That would be ridiculous. Nor am I going to speculate as to the actual causes of your personal failures (it is possible that you had a terrible lecturer and an incompetent coach).
What I am saying, above all else, is that we should hold the manager ultimately responsible for the team's performances. In addition, I am claiming that most of what people offer up as "knock-down" arguments to excuse RH from being held responsible in this fashion doesn't work.
Taking your own position, such as it is: if you are identifying player form as the problem, it's the manager's problem. He has a number of tools for dealing with out-of-form players, including informal discussion, squad rotation, and disiciplinary measures. If the methods he's using at the moment are not working (and they aren't), then whose fault is that?

Blimey just read through this thread. Seems there are a lot of Phoenix "match customers" masquerading as fans.
I've found the people in the zone leaving early more disheartening than our performances TBH. Where's the loyalty? Does the team have to be playing well to earn your loyalty? That's not loyalty. That's not supporting the team. That's glory hunting.
Perhaps that's why our attendances our down from last season. Half the glory hunters aren't turning up for kickoff and the remaining glory hunters bugger off before the final whistle.
Leaving early... utter blasphemy.
