Kinnibari Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 So the members function is on after the game. This is going to be fun Possibly the most courageous action we've seen from the team this season. After this week we have a week off and then the Darby. From all reports it looks like JVS will survive at least until the Asian Cup break. the players will all go away on a training camp in Abu Dhabi. So if the results don't come in the next 2 games I expect a new coach to take over for the 2nd part of the season... Either way this season is a write off, and it's only round 9... Fucking joke when you think about it.. Well we can still make finals if we lift our game, which although not enough to be counted as a successful season I'd still like to see b/c we have basically no finals experience so it would be good to get some going in to the season after.

KSK_47 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 So the members function is on after the game. This is going to be fun Oh goody. I remember the last time we had one of these Sidwell told us they were looking to bring in some more investors but we're still considering a fan owned model, then he told us it was up to the fans to convince people to come to games followed by Aloisi giving loads of excuses why he was failing and how he needed better players before he would be able to start winning. Yeah. Can't wait. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moops Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Some need a stint in the NYL. Redders Hoff, Kisnorbo, Chapman, King? Portaloo Mooy, Duff Gooch, (a striker, Marino?), Williams Subs: Velaphi, Murdocca, Mauk, Espendola, (a striker, Dekker?). I would almost consider putting portaloo upfront, someone with some muscle and can head a ball, could defend up front, but his movement would be poor I think. Duff would suit AM as he is getting older, can pass, dribble, has smarts and get in a scoring opp. Gooch had a great time on the right wing, played his best there. Williams is a winger, when playing for the all stars was a standout there, start playing him in position, a striker he is not. LB and CF we have a hard time, but I'm sick of Duga and Ramsay. So king comes in, with maybe Marino and Dekker as the sub. Serious question, what happened to Schroen? I thought he was killing it last year? Dont we randomly throw Kisnorbo up there? which has done nothing every time its happened? He would only be there to get on the end of crosses and play others in. He would be different to Kisnorbo being a midfielder, he has better creativity, passing and dribbling, his movement would be poor though compared to a natural forward and I have no idea how he would do with the ball at his feet. So you do have a point and I respect that and as I said it could be considered, but unlikely. Edited December 2, 2014 by moops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moops Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 And a tifo with 'you're all spuds(except mooy)' I understand this is a reactionary post, I've had my moments too. But the lads would be low on confidence already, we should try to encourage them. Take it out on management that we only have youth specialists in CF and LB and two mediocre GK because of poor recruiting. Also poor club culture and as Bela says, lack of a sports sphycologist. Also letting Gerard Nuss go, he is quite astute. Take it out on JVS for poor tactics and persisting with Ramsay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I think active should all bring potatos to the game. If we go down by 2, rain the field with spuds to let them kniw what they play like They play like spuds? That's too generous. They play like mashed potatoes.

Red or Dead Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 If we beat Brisbane this Sunday they will become only the second team of which we will not have lost more games than what we've won. Sydney is the only team currently where we haven't lost more than what we've won. In fact our record with Sydney is 4 wins each and 6 draws. If we beat Brisbane we'll move to 6 wins each with 2 draws. We do not have more wins than losses against any current A-League club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Watching Roar play tonight, I can't see them scoring unless they get a penalty. The way that we are defending, I can see us conceding at least 1 penalty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial Pints Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I reckon this one has got 0-0 written all over it. We should get Chapman back, giving us some much needed speed & mobility + jvs will no doubt clog up the midfield with defence-first players after last week's debacle. Brisbane struggle to create scoring chances sans Broich so I think it's a lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 With round 8 completed Brisbane are now in the six. We're eighth. It was nice of the Wanderers to play Brisbane into form.

I don't take too much notice of these Thursday FFA squads. There are usually changes before match day. I'd say we have very little depth anywhere.

Nate Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Does it even matter who's in the squad? Until we bring new players into the club, we're still going to concede bulk goals due to our glaring defensive deficiencies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
