Faaaark, Ball at the centre of it again. Should have been 2-0 H/T...

Right option, just needed a bit better on the execution. Great work nonetheless. Balls vision is on point tonight.

Very decent first half! Reno did everything right there but great save from the keeper

Some of our best football in that half from an attacking sense. Some really good chances created.

Sutton has looked awesome, whether running with the ball, crossing or just harassing his man he is doing everything right. Cacace 2.0

Looks like a wet pitch, is it still raining there?

according to commentators they had the sprinklers on hardcore before the game but it is also raining.

classic a-league stat, just as the commentators are rabbiting on about how this game is traditionally a high scoring affair the "predicted goals per game" appears.
Nix = .48
Adelaide = .22
stupid stats people.
These commentators + the empty stadiums are really doing their best to dull my enjoyment of us playing well
I thought Piney was commenting home games this season, but he only did one or two. Was it a one off?

The form LB in the comp at the moment. The Piscopo/Sandoval combo has been talked about but the key one for me is Piscopo/Sutton. They are working beautifully together and putting huge pressure on the opposition down that flank.

Broken open there. Always feel like Goodwin is going to punish us at some point. He's done it before.

It's turned into a even flowing game. Not as fast as that against Victory but as interesting for sure.
Adelaide are quite lively on the counter, so I would not be surprised if the final 15 minutes would be decisive.

Nice to see OVH get a good half hour run around here. Hopefully Bally can tee up one of his beauty passes for him.

That chance all came from an excellent little bit of battling interplay between Rufer and Lewis way back in our box.

I think Waine is yet to come on for Ball
... and it is Ben Old for Sandoval.

Some of guys starting to look a big leggy. Sutton looked cooked after that last run up the line.

wonder if Waine has fallen out of favour with Talay?

Really opened up now. Good bloody game, much like the other night to be fair.

Time for the younger players to now earn their keep and get us across the line.

The look of impatience on Hooper's face on the sidelines was priceless...

Sutton looks cooked after being beaten at the byline like that.

Would like to see Hoops come on at some point. His hold up play could work well for us here.

Woeful we should have been 3-0 up! The better side losing, now with Ball of the field we got no chance.

If we should be 3-0 up then surely we are the better side....?

Great game Piscopo. Don't think I've seen him so lively and full of running in his time at the Nix thus far. Should've had another goal today, but he's looked dangerous everytime he's been on the ball.

Ball, full of running as usual, a key cog in how we play, fantastic play for the assist. His vision in the first half especially was fantastic.

Come on now lads, heads down for this final 15!

 I'm Frustrated and Adelaide are a prick of a side to be only 1 nil up.

What position did Fenton slot in? He is not in RB slot.
