we were flat as a tack straight out of the gates. there was no fire or aggression.they should have been fired up considering it was a derby game. maybe next time they should get some face slapping going on in the sheds like western sydney magpies used to do.
Any word on Leonardo's injury?
Saw him saying on Insta hoping it was only 1 weekQuote:

We needed to keep on going in that instance and push forward to try and get a goal. The referee hadn't stopped play and he didn't have a head injury. That was an invitation to continue.
That's the killer instinct I am looking for from the team.
biraz was either screaming at them to play on or kick it outQuote:

He wanted to play on without a doubt.Quote:

Plus, we'd have more drop-balls, and that can only serve to incite great memories of being 8 years old
best bit was that Austin didn't even have to go off the field after!
that moment and their goal perfectly summed up the night for me: no drive, passion, initiative or accountability.
Austin is a wanker.
Biraz is saving our ass at the moment.
We were crap and there was no excuse for that.
Miller needs to re-think his subs and learn from mistakes (very hesitant to actually make a sub when its needed)
Carney was crap and is too slow on the ball and tries to beat players like he is a 21yr old. ( more effective when used wider where he has time and space)
We will really struggle without Leonardo in the midfield.
Our passing was terrible and predictable.
Just when I was starting to have some hope for this season
I agree except that part! What on earth could Miller do differently? He doesn't have the squad to compete when a few injuries occur.Quote:

Sums up the whole shemozzle. I thought we had put those insipid days behind us. The way that their goal allowed their crowd to have that enjoyment is ball busting.Quote:

It was pathetic. Their attacker goes down deep in our half with a tap to the ankle and we kick the ball out for them?Quote:

I think they all need to start eating raw steak and get the taste for blood.
Legit worst moment in newy history. I put this lower then wooden spoons. Its like when players don't contest throw ins. Bin emQuote:

As mentioned, yes I noticed Birraz too he was absolutley filthy. He is probably of the mindest now that an opponent kicked him in the face making him lose 5 teeth and 48 stitches and got off scott free so fark being all nice and gentlemanly on the park.
Would this have happened if we had the likes of say a Griffo, Rubes or a Ljubo or Tarek or a Kasey Wehrman in the side?
The thing with it was he was fine after the initial challenge and then went down 10 seconds later after the ref ignored his play acting.Quote:
