jw1739 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Adelaide crushing Phoenix now. They will be on 36 points tonight and then have to face both Sydney sides in Sydney. My word, I'm still not confident about City - we are going to have to show something on Sunday. The advantage is that everyone else will have played by then, so we will know what we have to do. But I'm nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None more obvious than in Season 2015/16 where we were first with two rounds to go, but choked to finish fourth. That season we had a record number of goals, Bruno won the Golden Boot and Sorensen was GK of the Year, but we still didn't win anything.

jw1739 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 If Victory beat Wanderers tonight, then none of Wanderers, Perth, Central Coast and Wellington can overtake us in the standings. So we can finish no lower than sixth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every match is worth the same number of points. For me, the classic is the one point we (Bouzanis) threw away in the second derby and the two extra points we gifted MV at the same time. Those points would make such a difference now. We have been like that since Heart Day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head, I think there is atleast 2-3 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our performance was certainly much worse than Newy's, but the two games today speak volumes about the two bottom sides IMO. Wellington seemed motivated to turn up and spoil our party, Central Coast looked like they couldn't wait to cash their last paycheck and go on holiday, they're a fucking rabble.

I'd rather be looking at our motivation than that of Wellington or Central Coast. Some of the sacred cows in our squad need their arses kicked. As does Joyce for his bizarre substitutions.

If we're going to compare our motivation to Newy's, are we also going to look at their atrocious run of form in the previous 3 games or are we just looking at the last one? It was an awful performance and hardly ideal before the elimination final but Newcastle have been absolutely awful for almost a month, let's not pretend they've had a better run in simply because of one game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Actually guys if the club is serious about high performance then surely there’s only one club to compare ourselves to - Sydney. How has their run in been? How did they go in their last game, even though it was a dead rubber? Thats the standard and frankly we are bloody long way off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess that's what I was doing - asking that very same rhetorical question. Sydney had nothing riding on their match. Indeed it could be argued that if they lost it then there was a fair chance that they could avoid Melbourne Victory in the run to the GF. But they did everything they could to win it, and so I ask myself - did we show against Phoenix the intensity that Bobo did to get his touch to Zullo's cross for Sydney's goal? Did we show against Phoenix the intensity that Wilkinson did to (just) prevent George's chip from crossing the line for a Victory equaliser? (BTW, was the VAR called into action for that? - it must have been only centimetres from being a goal.) IMO the club has made many steps forward this season, but I honestly don't think I can answer "yes" to the above. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the club has made many steps forward this season, but I honestly don't think I can answer "yes" to the above. TBF, you sighted Newcastle's 'incredible performance' as the optimum way to approach finals, based on their absolutely horrendous run when the pressure to hold second was off I was questioning that logic. Clearly Sydney is the benchmark and everybody is well behind that as far as this home and away season goes. We've made improvements from where we've been for just about all of our history as a club though and go into this final series with every chance to get ourselves into the grand final, and if we do anything can happen. I've said time and time again on here that some people (not accusing you in particular this time) like any excuse to go back to wallowing in despair and the reaction to this loss hasn't changed my opinion on that at all. Bad loss, however our form to clinch third was very solid in circumstances where we normally would've folded.
