I'm honestly pretty proud that we were once again able to draw level after conceding, that was non-existent last season.

Man the yellows have flowed for us tonight.

I didn't think there was much difference in either team with the challenges or is that my yellow tinted glasses?
Yet again we pick up some just stupid yellows gotta hope they dont cost us at the end of the season. Happy with point hate to think how the players feel i know im tired after that one.

ref was a little harsh on the tellows, think at one point the foul count was Glory 7 Nix 2 and yet we had the yellow and they had zero!

A draw was a fair result. Both teams had time in the ascendency, without really ever dominating the game.

Zwanda looked gas, and short a yard of pace, but I do really like him as a player. Strong, smart and not afraid to shoot.

Kraev was a little off tonight, and although Sasse got an assist, I thought he was average too. Seemed a little lazy off the ball.

I perfer Sutton at LB, has a better cross, which we can actually use now that we have some good height up top.

As Ufuk said in the press conference, the European players had never played in heat like that. I think they did well to get through the game and do what they managed to do.

That's the first goal and point we've gained in a game that's kicked off after midnight NZT. 3 losses previously: 2-0, 1-0, 3-0.

Results in a 11:45pm KO are similar: 1-1, 4-2, 2-1, 4-2.

Did win our only 11:30pm KO but lost our only 11:00pm game.

Zawada was sucking down a bottle of water after ten minutes. He, Kraev and Ball put in huge efforts.

Dunno who MOM was, but Zawada would get my vote. Could easily have had a hat trick.
