WPM R3 vs Brisbane Roar | Sat 4th Nov | 5:30pm | RoF/Sky Sports 7

Feel like Alex Rufer might level up and just full on transform into a bear! 

The off the ball stuff that Rufer is getting involved in is unnecessary. He’s looking for a card unless he calms down. 

We are top of the league, I said we are top of the league!

Oh that should have been 3, as well as an elusive brace for Zawada!

Possibly but he’s been brilliant in this first half

I missed the opening goal as the queues for the ticket office were horrendously slow. Felt like after that early pressure we came into the game and deserve the lead so far. The Payne one was my fave, I scared one of my sons though as he wasn’t expecting the loud roar ☹️ hopefully we build on this in the second, zawada so unlucky with that effort off the post. 

With zawada’s 2nd almost goal, he was miles off side right?

He was about a metre offside so saved you the VAR disappointment 

Want to know what was said between Wootton and Paulsen when they argued just before halftime. Scott seemed apoplectic

Maybe not coming for the ball or telling him there was no pressure, as he conceded the corner cheaply given that?

Not sure. 

Damn. Giving them too much space

We need to finish our chances,  this game should have been wrapped up already

Monto

Damn. Giving them too much space

That was just a weak second clearance from Pennington to be fair - Got nowhere near enough on it and Mileusnic obliged...

Kraev what a finish

Well done Kraev - great finish

Phhhh!

And this game is only 2/3rds done!

Wow - good cross by the youngster

Lkh what a cross

Tim Payne doing his best to make Team of the Week two weeks in a row. 

He has been outstanding this season - And I say this as one of his biggest critics last season going into this year. Fair play lad, you've silenced the haters with a storming good start to 23/24. Long may it continue.

Wow - good cross by the youngster

He's got excellent delivery on him. Should have had an assist last week, but for the width of the post. 

Great cross today though, he's had a very solid start to life as a professional. 👏

Zawadas constantly getting penalised for Aldred being shark

Screw that ref- you missed studs into the calf, but you can be a dick about going off the field and coming back…

Happy to see Sutts back. Looks like he's going to be utilised in a more attacking sense this season.

Just happy for all the young Kiwi's who finally seem to have a bit of faith being shown in them. 👏

Zawada hat-trick!

Well Done boys!
Congratulations!
Best start ever. Best team ever. Best coach ever.. 👍 

Wow! I admit I had very low expectations before the start of the season but the team has absolutely been outstanding! Top of the table, best start to a Nix season. 5 goals tonight, it's fun watching this team! A breath of fresh air from the last couple of years that's for sure

NO I will not stay away. Very happy to be one of the few who didn't put the boots into the team before the season had even started  and yes there were plenty of you across social media.

I only wish this team would be more attacking! 

Both the mens and the womans team are currently top of the league.  Happy day for the club

The kids can definitely play. 💪
Who did it better though?

This guy?

Never doubted the lads for a second…

What a performance, especially when we effectively started a goal down!

I will admit I was worried when we conceded after 30 seconds but the team did well to come back and control the match - well done boys 

That goal counter billboard should have Speckmaier, Kraev and Zawada. Somewhere where it gets a lot of eyeballs. 

It’s a pity the women are going to play elsewhere because I reckon they inspired/ shamed the lads into this brilliant performance!

ZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWAAAAAAAADDDDDDDAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Didn’t the lads (and lasses) do well.

Now that's a damn good day to be down at the cake tin

Far out! Great showing from the lads! First time in a long time I've watched the boys play out from the back and not been scared sharkless. Monster mentality to concede so early and take Brisbane to town like that. That and when they equalised not a single head went down.
Great to see Zawada break his one goal per game curse with a hat-trick! Here's to many more.

The Women and Men at the top of the table? I must be dreaming!

A perfect hatty as well. Left foot, head then right foot.

3 news might even run a story this week.

Please continue to take my $45 a month sky.

Loving this view!

Today's game was a blast - I think in part because of the way Brisbane looks to play. Both teams looking to attack at pace. Not sure we will have the same freedome against over sides, but what a win.

Great to see Barbs playing a new role attacking the space and being a menance - looks a different player, same with Payne. Rewally highlights the positive and negative impact a coach can have on a team/players.

The body language of the players is really telling to their success. Must have been pretty toxic the last couple of years because we have had some great players.
