xXCiTyZeNXx Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Yep. Another week of probably a loss as Newcastle were just shit abd niw we have a strong team to beat Edited December 3, 2018 by thisphantomfortress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Not looking forward to this one, we rarely travel well to Perth and now they are getting castro back. Most games I am usually optimistic and very hopeful, but I can't see us winning this one at all. Maybe a draw if Wazza plays 10 defenders which is definitely a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartFc Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 This very much smells like one of them random A-league upset type fixtures. One team is top of the league, playing like a well oiled machine, the other is making it up as it goes along, missing their best player and notoriously shit on the road. 1-0 City with Perth Glory having 17 shots on goal, Eugene MOTM.

Popular Post Cloughie Posted December 3, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 City to put on the display of the season. Perfect football and a 4:1 win over Glory. Supporters to flood Adelaide away the following week in a fever of excitement and expectation, only to suffer the ignominy of a 2:0 loss where we don't even place a shot on goal. Thus it ever was and ever will be. The Book of City/Heart Verse 7, Chapter 11 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter how good you are with the ball, if you're only 12th best in training then you won't get a start... Sounds like a boarding school thing, doesn't it? "Athletics standards." If you couldn't run the cross country under the "standard time" your "reward" was that you had to stagger round the course again. Didn't matter whether you were suited to distance running or not.

Has the Forum found its new whipping boy (along with Wales)? Griffiths has done absolutely nothing with the minutes he's had so far. The way Joyce digs in his heels I doubt we'll see Bruno. I don't know who should come in for Vidosic, but someone should - he's nothing like he was earlier in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Griffiths is better defensively and Bratts is better at creating attacking opportunities. Plus he reminds me of John Legend and that triggers me for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the position he plays in and the minutes given its very hard for him to have an effect. With Griffiths, its his on field leadership that would make me swap him with Baccuss. When Perth had that good year when they cheated the cap he was dominant and crucial to their game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imtellingyou Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 His Perth episode was a long time ago. After he took a hiatus last year in Asia, he has become too slow.

I suppose the excuse will be that we'll be stuffed anyway, Bruno or no Bruno. This club really does destroy the patience of its fans. Fixed. The team is in for Saturday’s clash with Perth. See who’s in and who’s out of this week’s side. It’s an unchanged 18 that has been selected for the trip across the Nullabor as City look to string back to back wins against a tough Perth side. Head Coach Warren Joyce admitted on Sunday that it was unlikely that his side would change significantly ahead of the contest as 17th and 18th men Ramy Najjarine and Connor Metcalfe retain their spot for selection. Osama Malik has returned to full training and is now available for selection after recovering from his calf injury while Michael O’Halloran is only weeks off from making a full return. Melbourne City face Perth Glory on Saturday night at nib Stadium.

Yeh I noticed that as well but a little odd that he's not mentioned in the list for the 'INS'. Take it as being as being a mistake that's been added.
