Scoring a goal every 160 minutes or so before he came here. That’s not appalling.

MetalLegNZ We are really missing Lewis. He's gives so much of the attacking impetus in this team.
But we have other players. At the moment we’re so ponderous in possession and nobody wants or is moving the ball forward.

really good,especially for a Striker that wasnt renowned for scoring a lot of goals.

agreed, it was more a sarcastic comment referring to all those that were worried we'd made a mistake when we first signed him.

Ugarkovic and Rufer should be good enough to do the same as Lewis.
nufc_nz bottom or top of this league this season is almost meaningless, it's very tight.
14 points separate top to bottom.
10 points between top and 4th (us)
4 points between 6th and bottom.
A couple of wins and it all changes.

at a guess it would be due to Kraev struggling to have an impact and maybe he wasnt defending as much as he needed to be?

it's either tactical or a mindset - neither is great, you really want your players to be ruthless when they take a lead, we almost switch off.

Other team they would play it for five minutes in the VAR room to find the angle to give a pen.
it was looked at ... of course we know the result.

Ellliot begging for a second yellow by fudging around with the throw in. The players are there, throw the fudging thing.
Well we just got away with blatantly pulling their man to the ground in an attacking position. I hope that does away with all the anti Nix ref bullshark here.
Yep that would be peak A League: being given a second yellow for time wasting when you are behind in the match. I've seen it happen though.

We are 2-1 down and Zawada had to hold it up for 5+ seconds before anyone else got remotely near him. WTF is going on!?
Ok with the foul being given and a decent fk.
Not ok with us forgetting how to play once we take the lead.

Good to finally see some more bloody subs
Come on Sasse, do somethin' sassy.

should have been red for sure, yellow at least.
We haven’t turned up for the last 60mins
Well we've got to at least draw it after that
Fornarolli stands on Ball's hand - accidently of course.
Rufer for Pennignton and Van Hattum for Ball
Rufer for Pennignton and Van Hattum for Ball
Man we are lucky to nit be down by 4 or so by now. Gotta pick this shark up.
Oh dear, that is a terrible pass from Sasse.
Being dominated by the team at the bottom of the table…
We will be lucky to score if we keep playing like that!!
We lost the plot. We need a wonder.
Why on earth did he sub kraev off at half time old has done nothing

Do they want to keep possession playing sideways or do they want to go forward, score and win??
Playing like we have 10 men

In either defence or attack, our midfield has been absent tonight. No options and movement when playing forward meaning that we pass it across the backline a few times and then have Laws play a ball into the forwards. While we retreating they are taking up space where not victory players are. Just bonkers to watch
missing Lewis big time, Ugarkovic certainly does not offer as much without him
This has been our worst half of football in quite a long time. Subs seem to have actually unbalanced the team.
And can Ugarkovic please stop it with the mad solo runs and wild strikes into row Z?

We have had one comfortable win all season. I've lost count of the leads we have squandered and when we haven't squandered leads we've barely held on a handful of times. We immediately look awful as soon as we take the lead time and time again, there must be something psychological going on

I don’t think Urg and Rufer can play together. Their styles don’t compliment each other’s skill sets. I’d like to see Nic and Urg next week (don’t expect to though)
not sure Pennington plays any better with Rufer either to be fair - they'd both be too defensively minded.
