the biggest question I have for this game is will the ground announcer a) be the same dude as the last couple and b) will he continue to fudge up the players names. and c) will he try the queen video to rev the crowd up again.

Yes, yes, yes

Great day for it. Hoping we can get close to 10k.

Best of luck boys. Tuning in from work this arvo, so hopefully it'll be a cruisy shift so I can catch some of the action. 🤞

Great day for it, let's get 10-12k in attendance and 3 points in the bank.

COYN! Fire up 🔥🦅

Cmon you Nixxxx

Apparently she's a stunner in Welly today. Wish I could be there in person. Had the inlaws staying with us all week but they've left this morning. The missus is working all day, and me dad's taking the kids out for the afternoon at 230. It's been a long week but roll on 3 o clock. Was supposed to use the free time to mow the lawns but eh looking forward to being able to sit down with a cold beer and the nix on the telly with nobody around to interrupt! The lawns can wait.... 

COYN!

Solid lineup harsh on Waine but he'll provide good impact off the bench and hopefully Lewis and Ugarkovic click today.

Uffie has got everyone on notice it seems. Cmon boys, do the job. You'll need to play well.

Be very surprised if the croud is much over 6k. 

Good to see Ben Old retain his spot in the XI. 

Looking for him to become more consistent and feature more heavily in the game as he gets more experience under his belt.

Would like to see Zawada get on the board today. So far he's been solid without being outstanding. It's these type of matches where we want to see a bit of an impact - A goal or an assist or some good pieces of play will help his confidence massively.

Kraev was always going to be in the XI this afternoon, he was on a mission after being very good off the bench last week. Hopefully everything clicks for him this arvo (also want a big performance from him for my fantasy team 👀)

It's looking sparse on the build up coverage so far. Whelp 😥

Not very surprising. It's hard to expect a big crowd with 3 draws and a loss which equates to the same number of points as 1 win.

I’m watching at home. Too expensive and sh!t performances so I won’t bother.

My daughter and I are flying down from Hamilton for the game in mid December. I've already got her a Nix shirt, but man she'd love this pink one.

Clayton Lewis... how sloppy was that

Clayton Lewis... how sloppy was that

He has not been playing well so far this season. That was so, so poor though. Lucky it's not 1-0...

The chance to build a big crowd was wasted when we started poorly. We a know a draw with city is a good result but your casual fans don't care about draws. Gotta win games starting out to get the numbers.

what are the armbands saying Lily about?

I think we might get pumped playing like this.

Either Carter is covered in grease and our defenders just slide off him or our defense is hopeless and no one is marking him.

Really poor start lads. Wake up at the back! FFS.

Uli's late wife. Nice touch from both sides.

Wish he was in Wellington for this one.

disgusting dive

that is the spirit

Elliot is getting cleaned out by arzani. He has to stop diving in.

Callan, get close to him! Standing off like that and then diving in is just asking for trouble...

This game could be a cricket score either way. Our defence appears to be pretty woeful. A few positive signs but it doesn’t feel confident. 

Impressed with Zawada's hold up play so far. Brings so many options off him when he can use his size and get that ball under control. Liking him coming deep & looking for work too.

Lewis passing radar is well off so far in this opening half hour.

This referee is appalling. 

Beautiful round of applause for Lily there. 

Love ya Uli 💛🖤

Yeah this ref…

These late offside calls are going to give me an aneurysm one of these days..

What a header old!

Very good. Yessss!
I approve of that!

The Kiwi connection on that.
Kosta busting his ass to keep it in. Pass back to Elliot with a delightful little cross to the near post and Old with a good header across Kurto and in off the post.

You love to see it!

Good game the first half.  Glad we got the goal just before the break

Young Kiwis > international imports

Great goal, Old. Helped by a perfect cross. 

Oh Sutts, you had to roll that back into the middle! 🤦‍♂️

that defending jesus.
