Wow this is bad.

A win!!!!! 2-0.

Yep, and was really needed. First half was excruciating, 2 very poor teams. Second half was marginally better as players tired and spaces opened up.

But we are bang average. In my opinion we have 3 maybe 4 players that you would consider quality A League level but the rest are well below. Can we improve, hopefully the new boss can get that happening but for me I just think the players we got in this season are not good enough. Major concern I really don't think any of the U23 are ready for A League, i did watch several games this season of the NPL.

Anyway a win is a win.

We have a midweek game (Wednesday) at home in the ACL so hopefully we can start putting together a few weeks of decent football.

Online it says over 5,000 were in attendance, but it didn’t look anywhere near that. Do they count season tickets?

By 10 minutes it had filled up considerably, that is from maybe 2K to 4K/5K. But still really low considering previous home game we had around 10K.

Never been concerned about seat counting, I figure less people easier parking and no lines for booze.

Left it late but managed to salvage a 3-3 draw at home to MacArthur. All the goals in the second half and after leading 1-0, City fell to 1-3 before scoring two right at the death.

Another disappointing result, losing 1-0 away to current league leaders Wellington. Missed penalty to get back on level terms proved particularly costly.

Picked up another win (1 v 2) in an eventful game away to Perth on Friday and now have the next 3 league fixtures at home.

Seasons greetings all, wishing you all a enjoyable Christmas. Apologies I've been slack lately but its been a tough time lately. My team stinks. Basically we replaced a winning team with bang average plodders.

Our Asian Champions League adventure was a debacle and our last and new coach are very un inspiring.

Playing in the Christmas derby tonight in a few hours which is always a fun outing but for the first time in probably 4 seasons I've got zero confidence of winning. Anyway the weather has finally resembled a summer so a couple coldies will ease the pain.

Hopefully we get a result, nevertheless everyone have a safe and pleasant Christmas and Happy new year.

All the best to you, just back from a warm holiday and wishing I'd booked a couple of weeks rather one, must be nice to 'barbie on the beach'.

For us in the UK KO is 8.45 this morning.
