Subs and a change in formation have made a difference

rufer off?? wtf

 
It should be clear by now that our manager has lost his head. So we gave him another year to keep going.

rufs, kosta and lkh involved in anything that we are stringing together

sheridan kicking it straigh in to touch after being played in to a half space sums us up.

For once Reg, I disagree. Sheridan has been good at breaking up play and making a short pass to a better playmaker, for me that's what you want from one of your pivots. IKH on the other hand, what is he doing in midfield? I've been watching him closely and I'm sorry but he's not offering a thing.

 yeah, you're right re lkh. i think in hindsight he had a decent 5 minutes. but sheridan did just welly a ball in to touch when played in.

Terrified at how low the crowd number could be next week for our final home game this season.

rufer off?? wtf

I this'd that but to be fair he hasn't quite looked himself since the g'fever.

rufer off?? wtf

Well yeah, but he was on a yellow. And with the way this pitch is playing he'd be a good chance of picking up another.

Watched a Japanese JHS volleyball game today. It was off the hook. The game was amazing and the support was unbelievably loud. Roof and floor and a truck load of passion. Only thing is then I overpaid for average craft beer, when the regular beer here is fairly decent. But a decent hot dog with it. Not something I usually do. 

Brisbane are crap. How’re we losing?

Yeah its not a great look - but fudge it, I'll be there. Lets convince Chico and Kosta this is a club worth fighting for.

look at us, giving it a go

luckily i have a short memory and have already completely forgotten our zero intent from the first 65 minutes

Why did it take Brisbane to score for us to start taking shots at goal

100%

and they're looking so shaky. their centre backs are all overt he place. o'shea needs to sit in and protect then, but he's still wandering around

they're a poor side

Imagine getting out coached by Zadkovich

Imagine if we went at them from the start…

They played 3 days ago and haven’t kept a clean sheet for a year so we sat back and invited them into us. WTF.

those socks are definitely purple!

Monto

Imagine getting out coached by Zadkovich

I mean, he’s wearing boat shoes on the sideline ffs.

That’s a red to be honest.

Thought Sutton might very gotten a red from VAR there

My conspiracy is that Johnny Bigg have paid us to keep Chief on. Play like we have this season and their shirt sales will be at a record high. 

Yeah was waiting for a VAR intervention, but maybe not enough of a 'clear and obvious error' for them.

Can never besmirch the style of vanilla chocolate thunder, if you do he'll tell his dad

That Sutton challenge is never a red. Would have had to have made contact above the ankle to be red

We are poor, how are we making this Brisbane team look this much better than us?

This was a great opportunity to play an attacking game but unfortunately on the cow paddock Chiefy still insists on playing sharke, sorry dung.  66 mins and 3 shots with 1 on target.

I can already hear Chiefs post match interview excuses about the pitch. As if that was the problem...

youngheart!

drink for acton

After today’s performance the worry is Chief being poached by an international club. I hope that’s a cast iron contract he’s signed, no family circumstances or out of shirt issues etc

Dang did I just hear the commentators say this would be Brisbane's first clean sheet of the season?

We win the Darwin Award

We have to play these guys again in Darwin? Can't wait

I just can’t believe the way Chiefy approached this game.

Brisbane are shocking. Haven’t kept a clean sheet in a year and we just sit deep for 65 minutes. There was no pressure or desire to win the ball up the pitch in the first half and have a proper go at a shocking team.

I don’t know what he was thinking and further calls into question the owners of the club who gave him another year.

How on earth did we give this man another year. Over 30 shots on goal against us... all this talk of we want to win our final 2 games and we just play the same uninspiring dross.

Absolute fn sharke, pathetic from the top down.

This team is below us on the table, hasn't had a clean sheet in over a year and played midweek and we do what... nothing, absolutely nothing.

Fudge this, cmon the PORT tomorrow, give me something as a NZ Football fan to actually enjoy!!

Given the context, I think that's one of the worst performances I've ever seen.

Fudge this season!!

Just come from watching Karori masters play better than this 

Very poor today 

Doomed to Darwin

Wibblebutt

And their keeper’s first since 2020

If you ever want to watch a game where the manager got the tactics and squad selection completely wrong, go watch a replay of this game. Let's just give the other team 30 shots and take none ourselves. Laughable, shark on Auckland but chief would have been kicked to the curb months ago.

1 of the most telling stats at 60 mins in the game - 9 interceptions to 1.

That shows everything right there. Almost no intent from us a team to do anything other than sit back and wait.

I don't care how good last season was - I care about this season, right now. And we are so sharke!!

If Chiefy had any professional pride he would resign

Sums up the season really.  I hope we get some good experienced players to come in next season

I am in the thought that this could be a player protest?
In the Caribean on  a ship cruise, so couldn't get the game as internet not that great, just as bloody well.

First clean sheet for Acton since 2020!
