Nope, Eze missed again.

Fenix

kwlap

Should have been 2!

If not three!

 Four! 

We are the better team, just not getting those goals

Think Josh has been nice and positive today hopefully good signs.

Dominated this game

Should be 4-0 up

And they’re still cursing at the ref. Book the mouthy cheating pricks.

at least 8

Stats: 10 shots to 0. 3 on target. Nix 61% possession.

Draw yr own conclusions 

studs up on his standing ankle.

all good.

Late, from behind, would never get near the ball. How many times? The refs letting them get away with so much. I'd say someones gonna get injured but it's already happened

That’s not contesting the ball with strength, it’s just allowing thugs to injure us.

Positives - 

Eze's runs 
Passing through midfield 
Josh had his best 45 
Dominated 14 shots to 0
Loke brilliant for his first start 
Armientos left foot 
Rufer back to his best 

Negatives - 

Should be 4-0 up and may bite us in the ass 
Fudgeing injuries 

I've been entertained this half. Eze puts in a shift, he is unlucky not to have a couple. Josh has been playing the role in the formation pretty well. Was it perfect, no. Are we winning and playing entertaining football, sure. Fairplay to chief for serving us something that isn't a pile of shark.

We can’t complain about referees after last weeks Eze situation 😂😅

Bullion

No yellow for two "agricultural" challenges from Steele - this is the outcome of challenges refs are ok with at the moment.

Eze should really have got another shot or two on target. But he’s put in a lot of activity. And got the one that counts so far.

Nervous wreck. 

Come on Phoenix! 

Best half of football I have seen from the Nix for a long time

Attractive football.

Good first half. Always a worry though that you don't take advantage of momentum, we should have more in the goals column. 

Im really enjoying the way we play. Its been a fun first half. We really need to put away some of those chances.
The Nix really need to get in the refs face about all those late dirty fouls

Honestly looking at this style of players we are set up for a great season. We may not be the best but we will be one of the best to watch! Chief has already proven a lot of the doubters wrong in my opinion - as has Armiento who deserved a goal from one of those shots this first half.

The main thing we need to watch out for is just making sure we stay fit. These injuries are very concerning.

Too many missed chances. Chiefy should be spitting tacks.

The only thing that can stuff this up is we are made to change jerseys at half time. 

Loke is a good little player. Very composed.
Conchie is brave/stupid for playing against these thugs with no shin pads.

I gave Armiento shark last week, but he has been good today so far.

Entertaining half, but the knocks and injury are a concern. Not helped by some industrious challenges mind you...

Is Cassidy the first to make an appearance for us without even having a senior/scholarship contract? Feel like there may have been another, but my minds gone blank. He's looked assured in midfield since coming on though. Keep going young fella!

Loke, Eze and Armiento (again) putting in very good shifts. Hopefully the injury to Ishige isn't too seriously, but it didnt look good...

Conchie off injured at half time. Another youngster on. 

Bugger 

Should've finished our dinner when we had the chance. Jammy goal.

Too many young kids out there now, injuries have killed us


Was coming 

Unlucky deflection straight to the on rushing striker.

This half so far shows us what Conchie had been doing, unfortunately…

Eze should really have got another shot or two on target. But he’s put in a lot of activity. And got the one that counts so far.

Nervous wreck. 

Come on Phoenix! 

At 91 for a hatrick wish he had put a couple of those away

The switch of Ngor to the right has helped CCM. I feel like they were targeting Loke but switched Ngor to keep Armiento deeper or exploit space Armiento leaves. Lucky goal but well taken.

bum hole

Piper time if any was. Before it’s 2.

Boys against men now. We will be lucky to hold this one

Lbs has been very poor since coming in 

Late again? Did the ref forget his cards? 

good to see matt sheridan get a late one in. nice work.

Fudgejng hell. Couple of great shots from the lads there

All those missed chances in first half coming back to haunt us
