sheppard
champness
johnny k
hoff
italiano

over time if need be you can swap in dudes like thurgate or austin but really they are our best crop of players that aren't in the starting XI, or if Merrick isn't high on Vujica at lb then put hoff at right and Georges (who played his best game all season on the weekend) at left

Champness is not back till Mid January, Sheppard deserves to keep starting, Roy can earn back our trust from the bench

Every single player in that team and 99% of fans want Roy to get back on that pitch and start banging them in for fun. Watch what happens now that we have a striker who knows how to play in that position.

As for "key passes", which is the closest piece of data I can find to match "killer pass", Ronny has 21, Dimi has 20.

Passing accuracy in the attacking half for Ronny 77.8%, 71.8% for Dimi. Successful dribbles - Ronny has 21, Dimi 8.

For me, Ronny is doing what we need him to do - just no prick will put in the net! I reckon if he could pass it to himself we'd be sitting pretty right now.

I don't understand the Ronny bashing - the bloke is probably the second classiest player to have ever worn the shirt behind Griff. And remember, it was Griff that recruited him!!! Are we saying that Griff is wrong? I'm certainly not

Disagree

Dimi shoots all the time from 25 yards probably too much in a lot of ways and every time he gets a free kick he has a lash

So to contrast the shots between the pair isnt comparing apples and oranges

As for the quality of his finishing it is at times Fellani like and not.really acceptable for a bloke on his money


Ronny needs to be doing.much more in the front 3rd

For all his flicks and evades how many of them are in the front 3rd??

Skinning some bloke 45 yards out or on the sideline achieves little

The bloke is in the team to provide us the x factor in the front 3rd not on half way

He isnt doing what he is here for

When he starts doing these flicks and evades in the front 3rd then we be going a lot better in front of goal.

If Ronny was doing what we need him to do then we dont have 7 goals in 8 games to our name

You can blame our lack of a striker but he isnt controlling the game for us like he should be

No dispute he is a classy player but the bloke isnt exactly effective for us

No he dont.

He starts Sunday

His energy up front and his point to prove isnt needed on the bench

He is also a better striker than Shephard so he starts

I'd say I have an above average sized penis but both our statements would still be incorrect.


Roy walks back into this team whether we were top of ladder or last. If you can't understand why then no one can help you.

then thurgate or austin get on the bench and not cowburn or ridenton

also we definitely need to start Roy, no way is sheppard starting. this is one of the easiest game we'll be getting all year and gives roy a good chance to possibly bang in some goals for fun so lets have him start and hopefully get some momentum

He is playing with some very average players and one very out of form ex socceroo. Cut the man some slack with the tools he has to work with.

But, once we have a defence that can actually help out further up the pitch, a striker who can hold the ball up as well as actually do something with it once we have it in the box and Dimi finds some form again then you can have an actual go at his impact. Right now he is our best. If he isn't good enough for you then tough titties cause there's no one on the bench that is gonna do a better job.

yo man, this isnt how football works.

Roy has to start on Sunday. Will take pressure off dimi and ronnie.

i want Roy to start, i think Sheppard has done a good job, but his best isnt as good as Roys best.

One thing to add.
I'd say Roys 3 biggest/most hyped up games for us last year were Gypos Rd1, Sydney RAAF round and the GF.
In one he scored 54 goals, the other 2 he lost his head.

Hopefully old Ernie plays things real cool this week with him, maybe no 'thunder and lightning' speeches as they leave the sheds.

**** Off

Bert needs to have these guys like a cat on a hot tin roof this week ready to explode on Sunday at 5:01pm

Roy needs to be also put on notice and wound up appropriately

Either to score some goals or layeth the smackdown on a Gypo

Either are deeds worthy of greatness

Who will ever forget minute 1 of the F3 derby wjen Kitto knocked the Gypo out??
We apparently scored but that was irrelevant to Kitto knocking a Gypo out

I will take another 10 weeks of no Roy if he takes out a Gypo legally or illegally this week

You will take no finals again then?

Roy needs to be out there to score goals, not to pretend to be Conor MacGregor, the only smashing we want outta him is into the back of a gyppo net, if he takes collateral gyppo damage out along the way however that's fine... :popcorn:

Finals ??

Who ****ing cares

All that matters is our 3 game League versus these cunce and the ladder position after Rd 27 and how far we are in front of the Gypos by

Anything else is largely irrelevant

I place utmost importance on this game and the other 2 versus the Gypos that is all that I define the season by
