that stat is a classic demonstration of "lies, damn lies and statistics" :rof:

[Jeterpool]

that stat is a classic demonstration of "lies, damn lies and statistics" :rof:

It's happened on 5 occasions (ahead at half time) in the last 38 games.

And honestly, it's hard to really pick anything positive out of our trending results.

[Wilso8948]

Good feeling. Good depth. Good bench. Night game. Hope there's a decent crowd. Getting on the beers. Bring it home.

I think the Carols in King Edward park are on Friday night too. I expect this could have an effect on the crowd.

[halo se7en]

This has 0-0 written all over it.

Maybe not a bad shout. The results since Stubbins were:

Carols and big time of year for work christmas parties might hurt a bit!
Sorry ill be missing it for free piss!

[plague]

Can't be assed.
Will cheer on Tarek, Jimmy and Goodwin.

Stubbins to give us a cold serving of Christmas slop.

**** this club.

[plague]

Plague Jnr is getting a new Jets jersey for Chrissy though. He wants a Messi Argentina one. so seeing him cry on Christmas Day will be a riot.
I'll post vid if possible.

[Wilso8948]

I'm with the drawl 0-0 draw too. Justifying Fox and FFA giving us only the one Friday night match.

[rhysd]

Hoole, reportedly, has a league high number of chances created. Imagine if he could finish!

[GazFish35]

Imagine if he didn't lose the ball so often!

Is Puddle starting?

[halo se7en]

$5 on Hoole to score at least twice. Lol no wonder I'm ****ing broke!

[MFKS]

These night games are ****ed.


The hassle of having to organise dinner before game

The hassle of not being able to relax after work before rushing to the ground for this shit.


FFA can **** right off.

More 5pm games in the sun please.



On another note rocked up and caught the last 10 minutes of the women's game.

Seriously the Jets are sit but you have to be sado masochistic on a higher level to want to sit through watching these women play.

Had one of them in a promising position on the flank ready to whip a dangerous cross in and she knocked the ****er out from about 10 yards for a goal kick suh was how heavy her touch was.

Even the A league side can't achieve that

Tidied up your post. No, don't thank me.

You don't have to be sado masochistic to enjoy the women's game. You just have to enjoy the sight of fit young women in shorts getting all sweaty. .......

Time for a cold shower

[Hunter403]

Poor crowd

[MFKS]

How come with the new kick off rules we the only club who passes it forward first too pass it backwards??


Sums up the inefficiency of this club

[Hunter403]

Poor refereeing

[belchardo]

Plague gunna explode - fox just showed most assists as a stat. nabbout is second behind rojas.

[MFKS]

Seriously think Jones should put Hoole up against Elrich


Both state league standard players



Seriously can some **** tell him to actually look like he gives a **** when he loses the ball??

[belchardo]

This is clearly a game between two teams with not that great attacks and even worse defences!

[belchardo]

Point proven!

[Hunter403]

Nice through ball

[plague]

Nice through ball

To be forgotten for eternity because Cluts pass was the all important 'assist' some blokes on here die for.

But yeah I'm sure they''ll be piping up soon letting us all know that one matters and the other one don't.

[Hunter403]

Yeah, it was Brown who made that one

[plague]

Also:
When the Jets (especially the back 4) take that extra touch, or look up for that extra second, they look like they can walk the ball out from the back.

If that's a consequence of the coach then bravo because it's making a huge difference.

[plague]

Yeah, it was Brown who made that one

Nope. All Clut apparently.

[belchardo]

As long as they don't pass it to duncan! :fright:

We do seem to be coping better with their press tonight. Whether it is us improving or Adelaide not being up to it is the question. Hope its the former

[The Dunster]

Agent Holland is basically waving Brown through the midfield. Has he even attempted to tackle a Jets player ?

[plague]

We do seem to be coping better with their press tonight. Whether it is us improving or Adelaide not being up to it is the question. Hope its the former

Even the fullbacks are at least 10 yards further up the park than usual when we are dicking around with it.

the whole team is looking to keep the ball and turn the opposition around.

I'm gonna credit the coach.

[MFKS]

Thing with Adelaide if we can quickly get the ball into midfield and through the first line then they look ripe for the picking.

Problem is we ain't doing it enough.

Too many touches at he back

Too many passes backwards.

Watched Hoole intently the first half.
FMD

Some of the stuff he is doing is NPL standard.

If we had Hoole cam on Foxtel then JONES would have a field day analysing Hooles lazy efforts

[pv4]

Tarek has been phenomenal for the jerks. Outstanding work by agent Takka

[Hunter403]

Hoole back to his old invisible ways. Replace him with Morton

[belchardo]

Do adelaide employ anybody who isn't spanish?

[plague]

If we had Hoole cam on Foxtel then JONES would have a field day analysing Hooles lazy efforts

Come out to Speers Point tomorrow morning Jones is giving a coaching clinic analysing the game.

Legit.

[belchardo]

Classic. ****ing. hoole.

[plague]

Classic. ****ing. hoole.

His confidence has just packed up and left.

Poor bugger.

[Hunter403]

Right bloke on. Wrong bloke off

FMD

[Hunter403]

Nordstrand won't chase like Clut. He worked hard tonight. Wrong sub unless he was knackered

[MFKS]

Even for us

That is pretty special

[belchardo]

Oh ffs. that was always and only ever duncan's ball.

[plague]

When is BK back?

[Hunter403]

Bloody Hoole! Gives away a dumb free kick. Poor keeping

[plague]

Paging Coach Jones...........

[belchardo]

If BLK have gone bust, how can they still afford advertising around the ground?

[The Dunster]

We haven't done anything since Clut came off. Morten isn't putting any pressure on them and it shows.

Jack Duncan -terrible effort lad

[MFKS]

This where decent sides at scores level actually ramp it up and take the initiative and force a win


We on the other hand will try parking the bus and either lose it or hang on by the skin of our teeth

[belchardo]

Matter of when, not if we concede a second

[Hunter403]

We haven't done anything since Clut came off. Morten isn't putting any pressure on them and it shows.

Jack Duncan -terrible effort lad

Cause it shoukd have been Hoole off for Morten. Poor coaching. Clut worked his arse off and put them under pressure.

[Hunter403]

Looks like subs were pre planned

[belchardo]

I reckon you're right hunter. ffs, 2 minutes. will barely even get in the same half as the ball.

[MFKS]

How Newy was that tackle by Boogaard.??

[The Dunster]

Morten was a mile offside - but I'll accept it.

[MFKS]

How the **** did we create not 1 but 3 clear cut chances in injury time??

**** me


More importantly who got the assist? ?

That where it at

[belchardo]

Geez Louise that was a rollercoaster. hoole, you're garbage. nobby, you're a ****ing legend.

[belchardo]

I contend that isn't offside. fox footage is frozen just after the ball is kicked and just prior to morten putting his foot on the ground.

[Thomas477]

Hoole is hopeless, has to be on thee bench next week, Nabbout and Leilei pls.

Credit to Leilei for the assist though :wub:

[Guerny]

of: clut, nabbout, brown, nordstrand, hoole

One of these guys is doing the wrong thing...

[belchardo]

Also credit to duncan, great throw to lei lei

[Guerny]

35% possession, just after coach jones comments on doing better with possession... ROFL!!!

[plague]

Lei Lei-O Messi innit?

[The Dunster]

35% possession, just after coach jones comments on doing better with possession... ROFL!!!

The 65% didn't help Adelaide much though. Way too slow in moving the ball and their transition into attack was piss poor at best.

Goals scored is still the only stat that matters and the Jets won that.

[Guerny]

it was more a comment on jones awareness of the game...

[halo se7en]

That was shit. Left at 90 when Nabbout went off instead of Hoole. Don't even care that we missed the winner, at least we got out of the car park straight away!

[steve136]

Nah mate you must be fuming. Watched 90 minutes of mostly crap to miss the most exciting injury time the Jets have played in years.

[parksey]

Man Adelaide are woeful at the back. No wonder they're bottom of the table.

Nobby is a hero.

Nobby is a hero.

They need to be more active than anyone in the January window otherwise their season will be over before February. Their midfield seem to just point at each other rather than make tackles. Holland is absolutely woeful. he's not a box to box type player anymore. The space they were allowing Brown was ridiculous. Something is very wrong at Adelaide to the point where it looks like players simply don't care.

[rhysd]

Hollandaise proved tonight why we shouldn't have moved for him. Seems half the player he was!

[belchardo]

Whatever you say about the technical quality of the game, it's nice to see them playing with some belief amd having a go in the final minutes.

And for a referee decision to go in our favour. Nobs was a mile offside.

[WolfMan]

Yes it was offside - but not a mile. It was touch and go on replay. I can understand why the Assistant didn't flag.

Any doubt and you should leave your flag down

[plague]

Just quickly how many fouls/cards were there? Jets 'seemed' to be less aggressive, but played more football.

Maybe?

[hawk]

Smashed em. Did Adelaide even have a team on the park.

Coming back from being down is rare and a stoppage time winner is usually impossible. cool.

[turbojetfireV8]

ref still made sure we got our quota of soft yellows though and none to the Barrel Boyz

[MFKS]

ref still made sure we got our quota of soft yellows though and none to the Barrel Boyz

I thought the ref was pretty average the other night favouring one side and it wasn't us


But the cards

Hoffman could easily have got red with a militant ref. Diving in the way he did.


As for Boogaard well one of the best professional fouls you would ever see.


Neither of them in the slightest bit undeserved

I can't even recall Adelaide doing anything to warrant a card

So on the balance of it he got it right.

Where he got it wrong was ignoring some fouls on us and playing on and pulling us up on fouls that he should have played on with.

[Macca]

Nobby offside pretty close, agree with Wolfman. A mile offside is the one that got missed in the EPL this week where I think a sunderland bloke was about 5 metres offside. What a way to win though.

Second half we were hanging on a lot and that is why the possession stats are what they are. But I thought the first half, even though possession stats were probably similar we looked far far better with the ball, the composure we had in playing out from tight situations multiple times was notably different from previous weeks. And as someone said, as soon as we found one incisive pass to a midfielder we looked like creating a chance every time. I tend to think that bit of confidence from the result last week and a few more people back available have made a huge difference.

Hoole copping too much stick I reckon, if a different player had that game you'd say a few different decisions or final moments of execution and he would be up there for motm. He did do a lot of good things.

Depends if said player had shown the same sort execution all season. Ultimately execution is what counts. If he struggles to hit the target, or struggles to put a good cross in (or any cross for that matter), then the build up play becomes a little bit pointless. He's scored 2 goals this season, neither of which had any conviction about them whatsoever, and the first would have been saved 99 times out of 100. If we're going to stay in the top 6, we need players like him scoring goals. We don't have a Fornaroli who can carry the goal scoring load. Hoole should be aiming for at least 8-10 a season if he wants to get above the level of average a-league player.

[Guerny]

Hoole: i didn't see him contest a 50/50 even once, gave up on headers, waited for the bounce, lost his man and let them run at the backs over and over.
I could forgive missing shots OR not defending... but missing shots AND not defending.

Their free kick was off the back of his lazy defending...
