What an abysmal first half followed by such an improved second half. Wow. I feel like the Phoenix of old would have come out after the break and been even worse but something was said at halftime and the performance really lifted. Funny thing was, as bad as the first half was, we could have scored twice.
I've got no qualms with the ref. He let some heavy tackles go which I'd have blown up, but he was definitely consistent and he let the game flow. Not to bang on about it, but in the first half we were largely to blame for what happened to us. The goal they scored was after our defenders lost the ball 3 or 4 times in their own defensive third when they could easily have cleared it.
Few worries with those injuries but with a bit of luck they can heal over the international break.
Great crowd as well, other than the laziest streaker I've ever seen.
Hoping this win really gives them belief. We are 8 points ahead of third place so it's really going to be a two horse race.
