How are we two down when we started with 6 defenders in our XI? Whyt he fudge is our best RB playing RM> And why are we staring a RB at DM? Fudge me, Chief OUT!
Sheridan has made 1 progressive pass in 45 minutes, even Rufer seems off at the moment. Geraldes, 1 nice moment but nothing else.
We continue to pass back because nothing is happening in front of players until eventually we run out of options and then try to chip over the press, only to lose the ball and have to defend again.
We are so poor and this is arguably our strongest team (in Chiefs eyes atleast) and we are so poor its embarrasing.

Pretty bleak. Some really poor passing, and cheap giveaways. And often the veterans Rufer, Barba, Chico at fault. Poor game from Chico until the last 10 mins.
Absolutely zero success playing out down the right flank. Payne & Piper not combining at all.
Sometimes I think Chiefy's biggest selection blunder for the season was not getting in a big man striker of any ability (visa or non visa) to replace Zawada. Every time the Nix are forced to go route one, 100% WU win the ball. They don't have the quality of players they had last year to play out successfully, and when a team like WU has a good hard press, it's bad to watch. Surely even an Oscar Faulds would be handy forward outlet, to break it up when you have no sucess playing through the press.
Nix coming into the game a bit more, and hopefully WU's press fades a bit in the heat. What does Chiefy do at HT. Nagasawa or Ishige on. Like to see LBS get some good mins.

Yeah the lack of height up front is a bit of a mess. We would surely have at least scored a few headed goals if we had replaced Zawada with someone with some height.
I do recall chiefy saying that he wasn't worried about the lack of hight up front though so that one's on him
Cant be bothered about the game TBH. You know the A league is in trouble when a side like WU who are fighting for a podium finish cant even fill a small suburban ground in a city of 5 million. There seem to be more Nix supporters in the fan zone. Meanwhile Preston vs South Melbourne played in front of nearly 10,000 this week. I guess the Australian football community are sending a message about the current franchise model.

I really do wonder if Chiefy has started to lose the dressing room at this rate.
Talking a big game all week - trained really well all week, the lads are up for it, players coming back & '8 finals to turn the season around' blah, blah, blah. And then what, we go out there and manage to turn out a massive steaming hot turd of that magnitude? What the f u c k is actually going on?!!?
Called it before H/T of the derby. This horseshark simply cannot go on until the end of the season, it just can't. Something needs to give, and it needs to give pretty bloody quickly.

End of the game chiefy will tell us about how how unlucky we were to concede goals since we dominated large parts of the game and how we should have nicked the win despite having no shots on target. It seems he is never watching the same game the rest of us are.
Chiefy Out Chiefy Out Chiefy Out - he's lost the team, he's lost the fans and clearly thought he was too good for the club when he didn't sign his extension at the beginning of the season.
Based on the way chief thinks the games are playing out, I'd say he probably still thinks he is too good for extension. He can jog on and play his dire football somewhere else.MetalLegNZ
