TheGaffer Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Mentally shot when traveling.....we are the only team not to win away from home state. Can't see that changing either as the players have no belief. How they can play such a different game when they leave the Victorian border amazes me....

loriente Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 when i made the trip up to sydney in round 9 to witness a 0-0 draw i walked out pretty disappointed. here we are after round 21 and now i'm counting myself lucky because that has been our best fucking result interstate! colosimo is a dead-set spastic with and without the ball, needs to go.

belaguttman Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Another away game, another consistent performance from the team. We really must be the most popular visitors in the league, an easy 3 points for anyone. Streamed it from Malaga this morning, very disappointed, just the same old away performance from the players. On a brighter note, off to see Malaga CF v Athletic Bilbao tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedaik Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Surely the away form is the fault of coaching staff for not getting them up and firing for away games? Its almost as if they are only inspired by the home crowd to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harps21 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 As usual pretty poor performance Redmayne needs to do better, that's the third goal he really should have stopped. Walker it's the first time he had really been found out by Taggart (puzzles me why he doesn't play more) Gerhardt and Colosimo both had poor moments but both made some very critical blocks. The needless yellow to PG hurts us Coyne I thought was alright. He is only one who can play a good long ball into space in our back 4 Thompson and Germano were both shocking. Was one of them ever going to follow Caravella around for a bit. He killed us Garcia was ok but he needs to work back better. When Galloway was bombing down the left why wasn't Garcia tracking back Williams showed why he is most frustrating player at heart. Useless again, I keep thinking of that free kick that ended up in row B Kalmar was ok but no where near last week Babalj - I was ready to put my foot through the tv. Stop trying to be Ronaldo with your step overs and fucking pass the ball. He tries to beat defender after defender, and if he gets the slightest touch over he goes. Fucking stand up and stop whining Of the bench players Fred was alright, got some good minutes Meeuwis I hardly noticed, but cut him some slack GolGol I think is a victim of his good start, I think we expect a bit much of him.He didn't score for 28 games and he went bang 3 of 4. He was very average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attack11 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 This is what I've been saying all along, so much promise that all of us actually believe our team will win away and go on to do some damage in the finals only to be let down again...

Shahanga Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Bitterly disappointing to lose of course, but I think the score flattered the jets. If anything we were the better side in general play, but a mistake by Redmayne and a lack of bite going forward cost us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defibrillator Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Just watched the replay. In all seriousness I wonder if the white shirt with red sash is just psychologically associarted with failure. Every time it's put on we look like shit. Maybe try the third shirt away?? Try anything!!?? JA said midweek that they keep the same routine home and away. Obviously not working - time to change the away routine. We're already losing - only way is up!! Just so poor coming out from the back. With Colossimo in you could see the midfielders just pushing up the park knowing he won't play out - a self fulfilling problem. Even Gerhardt was frustrated with no one presenting. Poor Kalmar, off a blinder last week, just had no service to do his work. Unfortunately Gerhardt out next week means we have more of the same rubbish at home. Why bother getting in DM playmakers if you just hoof the ball over their head?? Are they following instructions?? Going back to the fan forum I don't think so. Add to this both DMs had a shocker - not a great night. Also tactically badly outnumbered in midfield. JA needs to have a look at this. Too easily stifled in there. Coyne was solid -again his fitness will come. We need to bottle Walkers enthusiasm and effort. He is young and makes mistakes, but if everyone had his endeavor we'd be flying. He really busts his guts. And Eli, stand up and stop whining. It brings everyone down. Can't fault his talent and skill, just don't want to see him getting a reputation at such a young age. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems quite hard to get our supporters to watch their own fucking team sometimes. Find that pretty harsh. Unfortunately I work Friday nights. I was stepping out of the shop to phone my dad for an update every 15 minutes. Without working, I've got no money to afford a membership again for next season, petrol money to get to Epping for the reserves, or follow Heart away. I know this is only one person, but to say there's no excuses is a bit OTT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresonlyonebzamora Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Badders understandably everyone has reasons why they can't come - I'm not suggesting you directly but one week it's a mates birthday then next week it's work. It happens and it's understandable. It's the same people there for every away game - there are supporters out there with no excuse who just don't turn up.

We aren't a team that is able to park the bus for 90 minutes to grind out a draw in away games, we just don't have the players for that approach.

It needs to be strengthened in our group and the only way to do that is getting people to pre-game, post-game and away matches at the pub.

We aren't a team that is able to park the bus for 90 minutes to grind out a draw in away games, we just don't have the players for that approach. BG I don't think we know precisely what we expect the coaches to do differently. But IMO we are so bewildered by our dreadful away record this season that we think something should be done. ATM JA keeps emphasising that we prepare the same way whether the match is home or away. Well, for starters, try preparing differently. The first thing new coaches do when they join a club is make changes - Farina and Mulvey good examples. JA isn't new in that sense, but change the training routine or whatever. Next, drop those players who are out of form - and have been for months. Drop those players who are not applying the game plan - which JA has admitted is happening. Keep a winning team...we played quite well against Perth - albeit they are bottom - so why drop Vrankovic? Doing that just smacked of fear of Heskey. Kalmar scores from a free-kick against Perth so next game Williams takes the frees - doesn't make sense. Another thing is that JA is very diplomatic and middle-of-the road in his press conferences - I'd rather see him get angry and animated and show some bloody passion. I suspect that the biggest issue we are dealing with here is that JA is failing to impose his will on the players. He made a ballsy decision on Bolton, and he needs to do the same with a few others.
