Round 4 - Victory away

[Forum Phoenix]

Melling on the last goal was just jogging back whilst the victory player was running past. What a flog

I was shouting at the screen. Unbelievable.

If I was captain I’d have torn shreds from him.

That’s how I feel. It’s jusy weird how bad we actually are today.

There's noone really who should be scarred from past failures. The ones still here showed spine.

This has happened a LOT over the last few seasons.

I'm starting to wonder if there's a culture problem at the club beyond the coach. I can't imagine how there could be, I'm just trying to figure out how we've gone from one of the proudest histories, to the joke of the league.

I think the front third has been ok today pain, oar and McCormack. The issues are clearly in the back half of the pitch

We've got a better team and coach than last year. The trouble is, every other team is a lot better than last year, we're only better.

I’ve booked into to see the psychologist tomorrow to ask why i keep putting myself through this shit.

I agree, it getting beyond frustrating watching us just implode week after week

Really? McCormack has harmlessly sent the ball to the keeper everytime he's gotten near it. For our point man, he's not doing anything pointish.

This is reality people ......... a squad of npl, has beens and never will be’s that nobody else wanted but we swooped on them cheap.
Half the team is a-league quality but the others are not stepping up.

My parents taught me if you having nothing good to say - say nothing. So

Yeah but then what would the whole internet do?

We’re utterly shit. But this still isn’t true. Isn’t there more than enough shitness on display that we don’t have to make up shit?

Mariners and Wellington to fight it out for Spoon

I think because of all the issues that our midfield/defense has had, the attacks have been poor.

If only it were, at least there'd be a good, visible reason, but on paper it just doesn't fit... We should be so much better than we are... At this point I reckon the NYL team is worth a try for next week... If professionals can't do the trick, perhaps a group playing for a future contract in Sydney or Melbourne could?

Storm looks good what a difference its makes when surrounded by players who can play

From the look on Mulvey's face, he'll be there with you (or maybe even before you).

It's amazing how all the 'shithouse' players we let go of are looking fantastic in other clubs.

And I don't blame mulvey for this at all, for all of the goals the have been individuals that have made mistakes/not picking up players

That's what I'm starting to worry about.

Maybe it isn't just that we're not an A-league quality team anymore.

What if we're no longer an A-league quality club?

 

[nebakke]

The really galling thing here, is that I don't feel like there's been any sort of response after the first half... They look exactly as disengaged as they did in the first.
