Terrible first-half performance from us, the goal notwithstanding. It's only the Jets poor final ball and decision making that has kept us in the game. Our second ball pass completion in attacking transition is very very poor, Jenkinson is perhaps the worst offender, it's hard to imagine that he's been an English international on this performance.

Biggest critic here! I’m not watching tonight aren’t we 3-0 up? What did I miss sounds like we don’t deserve our lead.

Its definitely deserved. First half Newcastle gave us a run for our money. But in the second they have been playing like a Sunday league team. We haven't exactly been playing vintage football but we have been miles ahead of them

Thanks especially to Taylor Regan, the poster boy for Sunday league football.

At this point of season, take the 3 points, take the clean sheet and move on. 

I didn't think we were fantastic tonight, couple of really good moments from Tilio created goals, and then it was a passing show after that. They didn't want to concede anymore and we didn't want to use any more energy. 

Can't complain with a 3-0 but I suspect we have bigger challenges in CCM and Sydney next week

Positives:

This is the first time this season our halftime break has resulted in a positive second half

Clean sheet

A win at home, small crowd.

Second half positive play, helped by the extra man advantage but it also led to the play that resulted in Regan's red.

Much more positive when Tilio playing as a 10 and Florin playing wide.

Negatives:

the first half, we were lucky to be ahead based on 40% possession at home, outpaced, outplayed, lethargic.

Pucciarelli will be lucky to get a game now, he's well behind Tilio

Jenkinson's first half was terrible

Watching it again now. Whilst we need to do better against better sides, we did at least gather the points that were on offer against a side who made it hard for us in the first half. Tilio will be aching all over, having being regularly kicked in the air by half of the Jets side. On this, the ref failed to protect him or deal properly with some of the Jets less sporting tactics. Despite the kicking, he had a fabulous game.
