No negativity please.

Well, I think Rojas is a very promising player. Paston made some crucial saves, and we dominated the game. 3-1 didn't really reflect the balance of the game. Ifill, while, he didn't score, looked a threat as ever and came close at the end. Big Mac made his best impact in a while, and he scored! Pretty stoked there. Thought Lia put himself about well, Muscat is the bees knees in midfield.

Discuss. (positively)

Awesome thread.

Think there are some promising signs from the side on attack. Hopefully they don't get too demoralized by the result and focus on the performance they put in,and try to replicate it for the rest of the season.

Would be interested to know how much of the game we were in their half!

Exactly, if they ignore the scoreline somewhat there are plenty of positives to take from that game. A few things to work on but we created a lot of chances and if we do that with Joel Griffiths leading the line I think we could score a lot of goals from January onwards.

Well played Nix. Good subs Ricki.

Unfortunate those goals on the break.

Chin up. Cakes in Quakesville soon. We beat them there last year.

I honestly feel (in a positive way) that we are due a huge blowout score in our favour.

I thought we were good for long periods last night - take that into the match in Chch.  Agree Tyler, a big blow out is on the way!

Didn't see the game but sounds like there were a load of positives, despite the scoreline.

We're just timing our run. Don't want to peak too early.

Really good last night. Unlucky to be hit on the break, they were just a bit more clinical but plenty of good signs. I'm liking the attacking subs too. Greenie, Bic Mac and Rojas (who is looking lively as fk). Onwards and upwards!

Marco is going to be quality.

He might not be that good but I love Vinnie Lia. Resident thug.

Atom walks into a bar. Says to the barkeeper "I think I've lost an electron". "You sure?" he replies. "Yeah, I'm positive"
 
Then they started talking about football.

We don't actually need this thread tonight.

The angry people are positive for once. We'll need it again in a few weeks.

So, we lost.

I didn't see the game. I'm sure there were many positives and it's not the ed of the world.

we need this again. Positives - we didn't get hammered.   Vukovich was pretty good.

The fact that when we looked like getting humped at the beginning of the second half we managed to turn around and play somewhat attacking football, with no more goals against. It was a positive.

It was a pretty even game that we came out the wrong end of.

I'm assuming the main thread is full of stupid as usual?

Rojas again looked very good in the 1st half.
Our back line I thought was pretty good in the main part.
Our haircuts were also of a generally better standard.

Our team in general is much better looking. The other teams seem to be overpopulated with ugmos!

I think we played very well last night showed them who were boss, they only won because we had to let the kiwi in their team feel good.

that a kiwi will be part of the winning A-league team this season.   Has this happened before?
