Did nobody tell Brisbane how bad we are? What are they even doing out there?

LBS pretty average today. Should have done better after being put into a good position by Kosta just before

Edit: and the same again 2 minutes later

I reiterate my earlier point. Golden chance to just have a real dig there, Kosta drops it off to Retre and it goes all the way back FFS.

And then the turnover from LKH would've just compounded that.

Someone needs to get in the lads heads over these next few months and tell them to be brave.

If LBS had scored there, you just know we'd be seeing exactly the same shark all next season :D

I know we are winning, and it's hard to complain when we are winning.

But seriously, 17 shots to 5. We've have 1 good chance on a counter-attack, and scored.

Which is great. But this style of football is so bad (not the players). I can't see us doing any better next season if we keep playing these tactics.

Can't remember who else we have on the bench but surely someone needs to come on to finish this game off.

Ref is a cod and all. Never a pen. Double yellow on Rufer for contesting, but nothing for lining up Sutts and taking him out on the far side.

they replayed it about 5 times - didn't see studs anywhere near the tackle. If anything his trailing leg collected O'Shea after his other knee knocked the ball away cleanly.

Masterclass in back passing from us tonight. No attack too promising for us to boot it 40m back towards our own goal. From the first minute to the last.

It was barely a foul for Rufers second yellow. Meanwhile that cod Klein should have had two justified yellows and the foul on Walker was orangey/red.

Brisbane are a petulant niggly team aren't they? 

Not a good reflection on Valkanis.

Well we tried to throw it away there! Win our relegation playoff!! 

Fair play to Darwin. Turned out and made it a good one.

- 23 shots to 6 to Brisbane.
- 60% possession to 40% to Brisbane.

Can't complain with a win, well done to the players, but I feel we will continue to be watching this style of football next season. It's so difficult to watch.

Glad we won that. An extra incentive to give a shark about the preseason now - will be good to have early pressure on Chiefy to change our approach

A win, a dull win, but a win.

We better have a couple of reinforcements, maybe still Kosta, and at least some of our shark sorted out for the round of 32.

Round of 32 is likely to happen not long after the Wrexham game.

Another dour performance.

LKH really needs to learn how to header and Chief needs to stop been so scared of losing he sets up to block for 90 mins.

Team is afraid it seems to play pro active passes.

Happy we won, but meh again.

Everyone do your member survey. Demand bold black vertical stripes for the home kit. Use the anything else? question to demand an attractive, attacking playing style. 

I did and it felt good. If enough do, perhaps it will filter through?

And I forgot Kosta getting a yellow for objecting to Hingert kicking through his ankles. So being the victim and being annoyed at a veteran endangering your health is the same as the crime. Beating in mind we’d seen Walker have to go off moments before after a bad tackle.

Gill said on the podcast he was wanting to see a more positive and attacking and attractive style next season. So at least the expectation isn't there that we are going to do more of this negative sitting stuff next season. Achieving it is another thing entirely but was good to least hear him pay lip service to the idea.

Man I got so caught up in that corner I completely missed the 80th minute - tonight I have failed you all as a representative of the Fever.

But the players have been making up for it by throwing their shirts to kids in the crowd, there’s a whole bunch of them round the back of the stadium now pleading for Phoenix swag.
