jw1739 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 We have lost four away matches on the trot. My hopes are not high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Originalmeme Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Wont be surprised if we manage to somehow pull a result (draw I would say). Flip and coin. Play players in their positions and who knows what will happen. Galekovic richie Bort Delbo Jamo Grififfiths Brattan Mcgree Harrison Jmac Wales pump the long balls!!! fk em with pace. I do believe baccus is not able to play an attacking ball. Griffiths to reinjure honda, mcgree to score the winner, Broxham to get sent off.

Shahanga Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 This year we’ve matched up well vs the Tards, so there’s hope, if you giva. Surely we can’t play worse than last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Call me silly but I have more hope this week than what I did for Xmas Derby, especially if Toivonen is still out It won't be at all pretty, but we might come out of this with a draw Here are the 11 players I'd like to play, I've given up trying to put them in position Birighitti, DeLaet, Jamieson, Delbridge, Schenkeveld, Griffiths, Harrison, Baccus, Wales, Brattan, Maclaren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I can also see a draw, our dull unimaginative defensive play will prevent a slaughter. I'm more worried when we play powerhouses like CCM and roar and WSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Now that its pretty much public that if we have a bad performance etc Joyce is gone.

The damage has already been done - whether it's this week or the next or whenever, Joyce is gone. The players need to give their 100% at all times and if it isn't enough for the result, then so be it. Downing tools is pathetic imo and totally disrespectful to themselves, their team mates, the club they play for and especially us - we expect and deserve to see better than pirma donna Pogba style behaviour out there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I do not dont hold on to some high minded value that says that its not right or its pathetic. I prefer to be a lot more pragmatic and not be morally pure. So if it helps the club in the long run, fine by me. But I will be honest, yes I want us to lose as its the only situation in which we have public information that it will result in Joyce going. Now you might say above, that he is going to go anyway and it doesnt matter. Well, the difference there is there is no information suggesting that, its just a hunch.

I don't think that you can make that claim. There is a line that says the player is not up to it (skill wise or mentally) or basically the coach is crap thus leading to worse results. And the latter may not have much to do with the attitude or effort that the players put in. Case in point is PG new coach, basically same team and what a difference. The other case is City with a bad coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other case is City with a bad coach. I've always found it very hard to believe that players would deliberately not make the effort required to win a particular match (or two or three) just to make a point about what they collectively think about a manager. On the other hand though, some of our results against lowly or weak teams have raised questions in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be a professional sportsperson you have to be competitive by nature, but if you don'y have the right mindset then touches or shots just don't happen, it takes a special someone who can self motivate, there are very few who can dig themselves out of a hole once there by themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rass Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Not sure about that.

I agree with you that Victory is really overrated, but you cannot ignore how shit we are. In saying that we won't get smashed, but we won't score. I'm hoping we can draw and it being a very dour 0:0. Then atleast we can finish the season knowing we didn't lose to the tards. So I've got the feeling it will be another game similar to the Perth game.

Imtellingyou Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 There would be more focus on the derby if the posters are not concentrated on who the first goalie should be. Buy a ticket and support your club in the one and only true rivalry in the league!

They’ve only won three more games than us. The gap seems a lot bigger than it is, especially if we pinch it tonight. But it’s their quality in the front third that concerns me. Toivonen, Honda, Barbarouses and Troisi are all very good footballers at this level. Victory have scored the second-most goals this season so our defence and midfield is in for a huge night.

HeartFc Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hurts to say this but is a heavy loss the best thing for the club as a whole right now? If we cop 3 or 4 against Victory surely Joyce will be on the verge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is such an interesting space to watch - firstly, who takes over? Secondly, would they reinstate Bruno? I suspect they would not for a variety of reasons (match fitness, McLaren and looking ahead to next season etc.) Though the prospect of watching him for City once again is mouth watering.
