WPM R24 vs Brisbane Roar | Sun 16th April | 3:00pm | Eden Park / Morningside Tavern

BK has been worse than Sasse over the last few games but not as useless as Kosta so surprising yes. More surprising is Elliot dropping to the bench - one of our best at crossing to Zawada. 

Zawada getting plenty of ball up front is key to our win today

No idea how Kosta has shown he deserves to start.
The cynic in me says it's a lineup selected by a departing coach.
But I'm sure he knows what he's doing...

Still has a lot to prove. A good finals run and it raises his stocks for a move overseas

he doesn't have a new job yet so he still needs results

Can’t see how Kosta or sasse deserve their spots a head of BK, but for the next 3 weeks, in uffie we trust

Coming on as a sub might be pressure off or a bit if a change of mindset and unlock the (to mix metafers) the deep deep goal well and also power us home in the second half? 
Nothing worse as FB looking at the bench as Elliot gallops past you thinking about the fresh legs about to run at you…

Oh right- Elliot not starting! Maybe keeping our powder dry, rope a dope kind of deal? Plus these other guys need to stand up and earn there crust rather than steal it! 

Firing up 🔥 !

Crowd looks, umm, a bit sparse to say the least...

Haha! WTF!

Fudgeing hell Sasse

well, that was frikkin daft

I don’t even…

Feel sorry for those fans who were drinking Jameson premixes already 
…

Dumb ass pen to give away.

That's the kinda pen the All Whites went for and we looked dumb when we didn't pull it off.

Good news- Sasse isn’t playing for us next season.

This start has filled me with a sense of dread for what's to come.

Wake the fudge up lads! Sharkhouse.

Apart from Sasse's clodhopping so-called tackle I don't know why Payne wasn't wider towards Lofthouse who was in absolutely acres of space to at least put some pressure on him receiving the ball. Just crap defence all round.

We are really bad. Holy!

Outpost

 he was drawn across after we got scrambled on the left. it was a recoverable situation

It's not just that we are behind, I can't believe how bad we are playing. Just no prospect of stringing decent passes together yet alone scoring. Cannot believe we are just going to anoint Talay's assistant as his successor after a season like this where we have looked awful all season and finally at the end results are matching performances 

We look like absolute shark out there, basic skills gone missing. We need a refresh next season but if we appoint who I think we will I don't see things improving much.

Hah! Now Sasse is channeling Totori.

The number of times that they are passing to the opposition is bloody annoying.
Keep doing that it could be  a very frustrating time

what planet is sasse on? are we going to see a first half sub?
also, clear signs of dissention there too from kosta too, and fair enough. this is not a happy camp (i reckon ifill knows something...)

Sasse is just one shark decision after another. Why the fudge is he even on the field?

did anyone notice kosta doing a solo press in multiple directions with no one backing him up?

We're playing like a team who dont like each other. Looks like Kosta and sasse are not happy campers at present 

Have we ever had a good end to the season 

ball just lurking far post. not making a run across the centre backs when ugarjovic broke down the right

we have sasse on aldred??!!

Sloppy again from Ugarkovic. Not leaving much on the pitch for us tbh. 

that was tasty from sasse. more please!

Sutton! Wow!

Sutton with the rocket! If that was slightly either side of their gk would’ve gone in

Where do we get those deflections Paul Ifill was talking about earlier? That was traveling! Just a bit either side.

We are getting better, keep on going boys.

he witteveen'd the feck out of that!

Pen! Great!

um.... really?

number8

Pen! Great!

We'll see about that in a few seconds!

This has been an awful watch for the first 22 minutes. 

As much as I want to remain positive as we chase a spot inside the six to close out the regular season, it's becoming more apparent that we've become a club with an identity crisis. 

We don't know whether we're coming or going, we've got players and a gaffer seemingly already focused on their next opportunities and that comes across clear as day in our play - tepid, one dimensional and often bereft of any exceptional quality. It's scrappy, and we've got results this season, but my god I've aged years just this season alone.

Just as I say that all, and we go get a penalty 😅
