16/17 HAL Round 3 | Western Sydney v Newcastle Jets | Sun 23 Oct 2016, 7:00PM

[Superdylan]

I think we are in with a chance yet again. Plus its the first wanderers game at spotless so western sydney won't be used to playing on that surface so that could fall in favour.

Jets 2-1 I'm predicting. Wayne brown superstrike again please.

P.s Jeterpool add your stats

[The Dunster]

Jets 3 - Wanderers 1

Jets to lose the three points a week later when the RBB successfully claim Jets fans were responsible for ripping flares in the RBB supporters area.

[furns]

Jeterpool is away this week so no stats.
If you're coming to Spotless to watch the game, feel free to join the away supporters from 5pm at Whelan's Strathfield Hotel.
If you can't attend in Sydney, then join fellow Jets fans at Premier Hotel from 6pm.

[halo se7en]

Wanderers 2-1. I feel like this game will go the same way as last season's first match against them in Newy.

So you mean 4-0 Jets? :lulz:

[Grimario]

I think we will surprise people this weekend.

[furns]

I think we will surprise everyone this weekend.
We have a better record away to them, as opposed to never winning against them at home

[Grimario]

I left my response suitably vague so that it could be interpreted as "the people who thought we were going to win were surprised by how shit we were and losing by 4" OR "the people that thought we were going to lose were surprised that we backed up a solid performance with a gutsy away win"

[sorefootballer]

Draw 2-2. Hoole finally scores.
Question, whats wrong with kokko? In the jets squad of 17 no mention of him nor is there mention of him in the "unavailable" category

He went off with an achilles injury but no idea how crocked he is.

Wankerers to loose

[Jetmaster]

Question, whats wrong with kokko?

In keeping with what makes the internet great, i watched the 10mins or so of the game he played and he is injury prone and has no intention of playing here.
We should sack/sell/set fire to him immediately.

[380]

Lose

Nabbout to suffer knee injury in first 10mins as a result of Poppa's predictable instructions to take out oppositions most dangerous player from the outset.

And the the other sure thing will be the little shortass grub Santalab to hack some poor unsuspecting bugger from behind or get hit by an invisible sniper from the crowd whilst he is in the box to milk a pen.

PS and a flare or three for those toughies at FFA to very gently slap them on the wrist again, but nothing more.

He can take Noddy with him... he will never be fit enough to play like jerks did in second half last Sunday

how does one actually buy away tickets? I went on the website and it said there were "no tickets that matched my search"

[boz-monaut]

this kit looks pretty damned ugly

why can't they keep it simple? BLK should realise they've git zero ****ing clue in terms of design and make it as simple as possible

[Jetmaster]

Duncan is Birraz 2.0

Can stop a shot but gets the collywobbles if the ball is hoofed in the air.

[steve136]

We're sh*t. Jones OUT

[Grimario]

I'd be happy with that. Biraz won us about 30,000 points on his own. If JD can emulate that, hurrah.

[steve136]

Hoole still turns over the ball endlessly. Still doesn't score any goals.

[BP Super Dynamos]

Hoole still turns over the ball endlessly. Still doesn't score any goals.
Add Ben Kantarovski to that list

[steve136]

Hopefully Jones just worked out what we all realised 3 years ago - Kanta is hopeless

[foti68]

our midfield is non existant

[Hunter403]

Ugly, ugly, ugly. We're turning over possession way too much,

Why did we only have one defender on one post and not the other?

As for Kanta: I'd hook him for that purely for the embarrassment that he is.

Hoole and oxygen thief tonight. Duncan scares the crap out of me.

Huge test for Jones to change things at half time. Let's see how good he really is.

[Retro Jet]

That trumpet is WAAAYYY too Gypo for my liking.
Wankerers & the RBB: confirming they are the Gypo scum of Sh!tney

[leftrightout]

Back to reality, we are bad tonight.
Wanderers are playing well which makes us look even worse!

[Hunter403]

Ten minutes into the second half. It's no better.
Clut had a half chance but no joy.

Bye bye Nabbout. Another injury replacement required?

[steve136]

Can't even blame Jones for this (as much as I want to). Our players can't complete the simplest of tasks out here. Special mention to Hoole, Kanta and Nabbout

[steve136]

We're down 2-0 and they're the ones pressing jfc

[The Dunster]

Wanderers defence all over the park has been brilliant all night. They set themselves up well and completely nullified any possibility of the Jets using their pace like they have in previous weeks.
Not too worried though because last season Jets would have lost by 7 in this situation.
Jets always struggle against Wanderers - Always next week to make amends.

Yep we'll be great as long as no other teams in the league are watching and can see that our players are sh*t if they're under any kind of pressure at all.

Andddd we're bringing on Hoffman to save the game. It's so much better not just having a dumb coach, but having a dumb coach that is Newy.

I just made the season bit up but he had a massive pile of strapping on the area and that's what he was holding when he was basically carried off the field.

[OmeletteDuFromage]

surely we dont deserve this

[plague]

hilarious

[The Dunster]

Hooooooooleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 2-2

Wanderers hard pressing early is showing now as they have no fuel left in the tank.

[Grimario]

Jones, master tactician, bringing our regular right back on as a left winger. Game changer.

[Grimario]

hilarious

Hoolearious?

[Retro Jet]

My stream stopped...all I can say is 'midstream', just before that free was kicked.
Lofl Poppa....pity it wasn't 7 minutes earlier.

[Retro Jet]

5+ minutes of Sydney injury time....if Wankerers are attacking?

[plague]

Hoolearious?

this game deserves this comment.

[steve136]

I was wrong. Apparently Hoffman was the attacking ingredient we needed to salvage this game.

[The Dunster]

Seeing those khunts lose after being two goals up is why I love this game.
Sure we were average for most of the game - but that hard press took it's toll on the Wanderers and cost them the win.
The Jets though like in all three games this season have finished the game looking better than the opposition. Good signs indeed.

Jones will be very pleased with the ticker the lads showed to come back from the dead.

[leftrightout]

Hahaha we literally played terrible for 80 minutes... shows what we are capable of when we play some football.

At least we took something from them tonight.

Also, bulut, biggest grub in world football.

We're picking up way too many injuries. 3 games in and I think it must be about 4 or 5 injury subs. Do we have a strength and conditioning coach?

I don't know about profound - he would have added the other tattoo, when by accident he met someone that could actually spell.
It's a shame the kid is such a goose because he's a very good footballer. But he's a long way off being good enough to not one day regret those tatts. If football doesn't work out for him I don't like his chances in any regular capacity.

Blokes a legend.
He wanted to come straight to the fans after the whistle and was calling for the rest of the players to join him. Then one of them reminded him to shake the wanderers hand, players then proceeded to their little huddle before coming to thank the fans after most had left.

Man U have been doing it for years s.

[Macca]

Vujica looks good. Reckon he would go alright on the wing too if we decide Hoole isn't the best option on the left for us. Seemed to skin a few blokes pretty easy yesterday.

[StannyCFCJET]

Hoole should be tried in the centre i reckon. He is good at skipping past last man and can pass decently when he is switched on. Will also put less pressure on him to run and dribble at players which he has shown he shits his pants every time he has to do

yes he is but we need to find a way to get the best out of hoole

[Retro Jet]

Anyone with the game saved somewhere, have a look at this (88th minute):
(Cheers to Omelette for 'help' on acquiring this one :thumbsup:)

Andrew Deadbrain calls for 4 in the wall and goes to his LH post to line it up.
Nico Martinez moves in temporarily after as a 5th player BUT Nico then leaves the wall
to go top of the D to mark Brown. Looks to me that the wall shuffles marginally to the right
for the moment Nico is there but doesn't readjust.
Hoole sneaks it in to see the RBB shower all Jets players with celebratory drinks.

[borat]

You could see the way Hoole lined up the free he was always going around the wall.

[redwah]

Man U have been doing it for years s.

Smartest thing you've ever said!

[RAM]

Nah, Hoole needs to work out how to get the best out of himself.

He should be able to hit a 10m pass. He can beat a man. He has pace. IMO these types of players are better suited out wide. He needs to either learn how to cut in and shoot or hit a cross with both feet. Preferably he'll learn both of these skill sets.

He's not a no. 10 imo. He simply lacks the passing range and shooting ability.

[Mark325]

i'd like to see us run Brown next to Ugarkovic personally, he is good at attacking mid but he also does a lot of tracking back, makes me think he would work better as more of a box to box mid with someone like Hoole or Clut at attacking mid. Gets Kanta out of the mids and i'd say brown would be better then poljak in that position too

Nice analysis.. Hoole though was oblivious to this as they asked him post game what he was thinking when he went there and he didnt really have an answer. More just hit and hope knowing Redmayne is shite!

1st thing hoole the fool needs is control, when (and I doubt he will learn this now at his age) he can stop/trap the ball within a foot of his body, he could go alright.
He gives opposition players to much show of the ball.
Get the basics right and the rest will follow...he has shown some ability?
But he needs this to happen sooner rather than later, why do you think Arnold let him go so easily.

for the moment Nico is there but doesn't readjust.
Hoole sneaks it in to see the RBB shower all Jets players with celebratory drinks.

Mentioned this on the pod...sorry I couldn't remember it was you, RetroJet
