WPM R8 vs Newcastle Jets | Sun 14th Dec | 3:00pm | RoF / SS1

Was an ok first half... but we have little quality to bring on. If the subs decide this I do not see it going our way

far out, we are on and off so much in this. Need to find a way to attack which doesnt leave us open af for the counter.

Rufer was very slow getting back, was like sorry def you have to handle the 3v2

gah, that was coming

that doesn't take deflection and Josh is saving that easily

We are now equal bottom of the table. If it wasnt for GD we would be dead last

Love Piper but he needs an off season working solely on his touch

Very unlucky goal to concede. Sheridan did well to stop the first shot and then scrambled well to cover the second shot but just didn’t get enough on the block

Why the fudge do we just wait until they have a shot?????

It would be awesome if they sacked chief after this game. This is dog shark, no wonder nobody is there.

oh Eze, we really needed that one....

Eze man gotta score that

ffs

High-line with slow defenders is just an odd odd tactic. 

We are so weak defensively and play such a risky setup that we need to regularly score 3 to consistently pick up points. We haven't once scored 3 goals this season. I think we have only twice scored twice?

Wooden spoon battle and we getting demolished. Id hazard there are people in this forum who could have managed the team to a better outcome then this disaster unfolding Infront of us.

Josh has done well again this game.

Has figured out when to come and stay with this high line and makes his decisions quickly.

Jinxers mofos 😭😭😭😭😭😭 lulz 
argggggh

I shouldn’t have jinxed Josh, should have committed himself there and used his head

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

oh dear

Our keeper is shark.

Just one game of football.... all I am asking for is one game of football where we are consistently decent in BOTH halves. Not gritty in one and completely self immolate in the other.

Just end the season now. Fudge this.

I'm fairly critical of Chief but I'm not blaming those goals on his tactics.

Two pieces of wank defending.

the worst is all but one defender stopped running expecting Josh to get there.

Cant wait to see how Domey spins this game in next week's match programme

Yep his moment of indecision there made it easy for the Jets. That far out of your box you can't second guess yourself

This is all so predictable

Josh wouldnt have had to come out if the defence line wasn't so high btw. 

I mean we can blame Chiefy but a lot of this has to go on the players should’ve had at least 3 goals and they were easy chances 

We’re the bazzball of the a-league.

Getting demolished at home by the bottom side with barely no one in the stands. 

That's what Nix ownership deserve for hanging on to a coach who has long lost his way. I say it again, any other club in the WORLD would've sacked him after that 6:1 derby defeat last year.

i'm saying this now, because we're currently in a bad in-game moment and usually forum heads drop. this helps me not being accused of being a bandwagon jumper when things inevitably come right for us.

the football we are playing is significantly better and also different from in the past. our games are becoming open, i like that, we're giving ourselves a chance and are looking to be positive. 

example of the different style; long pass to a target man who plays it wide and we get 5 players in the 18 yard box for the cross and the wing back gets a shot on goal. great stuff. never thought i'd see that from a phoenix team.

yes, we have a lot to iron out but this is a lot better than not trying to play and failing.

Hard to take seriously.

Oh dear

Midfield tired

Give it another 10 minutes

When our opposition goes up a gear, we just can never match them. 

again, its the space in between defence and midfield that isn't being picked up. 

Chiefy told them they weren't playing out his strategy probably at half time. They back in track now.

Especially when playing with wind behind us, holding their passes up. That cost the second goal.
