[hawk]

Ok so on to a brand new week with no mistakes made yet.

After making little or no changes to the squad I'll just expect a better performance and an easy 3pts. cool #headinsand

[Grimario]

3 wins out of 4 and we are in the finals, guys!

Andrew Hoole drew 7 fouls - the most in the game.
Hoole has also conceded the most fouls in the team, with 42.


Lets just focus on those two facts alone and why Hoole shouldn't even be allowed on the plane, let alone the park.

[cobra23]

geez i thought it was mad monday already!!

Lets just focus on those two facts alone and why Hoole shouldn't even be allowed on the plane, let alone the park.

What I've taken from the 69 fouls he's drawn, is that those he has drawn have often relieved defensive pressure or created an attacking set piece opportunity.

He leaves, that's an element to our game that'll leave. Haven't had a player that can win us a dangerous free-kick since Griff.

Goodwin used to as well, Wait he left before Griffo didn't he?

[WolfMan]

The Jets have had a total of 2 shots on target in their last 2 matches.


That'll do me. The best stat for our entire season right there.

Teams don't have to defend against us, coz we don't have anything in attack for the most part.

[Jeterpool]

Teams don't have to defend against us, coz we don't have anything in attack for the most part.

It's been well debated on here the different style of play between our current and previous manager, but looking at the Shots on Goal per game, the Jones team only has 1 extra shot onaverage per game than a Miller team. Jones' team have managed more on target.

But Miller parks the bus apparently... pfft stats.

[plague]

Is this season still going?
Geez, that's a shame.

[boz-monaut]

I wonder what new and interesting way these bunch of jerks will lose this weekend

[steve136]

I wonder what new and interesting way these bunch of jerks will lose this weekend

New and interesting?

I reckon it'll be same old same old getting pushed around, having no chances and being all around outclassed.

[Jeterpool]

No Kanta listed in the squad this week.

[plague]

Club sux

[MonkeyKplunk]

Would be better off playing a telegraph pole on the wing than Hoole.
Would probably be able to string together some better passes too.

[The Dunster]

Jones has become too defensive and now the club is failing to score goals and also conceding them because the opposition teams are being gifted a mental edge.
Wellington will have a field day against the Jets knowing they can playing an opening attacking style without consequences in defence due to the Jets ****ing about with the ball at the back too much rather than looking to score or get forward at every opportunity.

[Jeterpool]

Referee is Jonathan Barriero

This is going to be our 4th match under him. We haven't won any of the previosu 3. He's refereed us twice this season so far - the loss over in Perth (2-3) and the 1-1 Derby in Rd 7. The other was 0-2 against Sydney mid last season down there.

[plague]

Wait.
Phoenix paying $2.55

On the aleague ins and outs Kanta is listed

Must have been a change from the Jets listing who said they were taking 17 players and Kanta was listed as an omitted

Errrrr, what?

$3.50 for the draw.
I'll take that...

Edit: checked Jets website Kanta is in the squad

When I copied the list from the Jets website, it had Kanta as out of the squad.

What more do you want me to say?

Sounds like he is offering to take over this thread next year.

Im not having ago Jeterpool just saying what I saw thats all. I wish you were correct though

[Jeterpool]

I was having a think last night and what do people think about this line-up? I've dropped (from last week) Mullen, Kanta and Hoole. Brought in Hoffman, Vujica and Nordstrand

3-5-2

-------Koutroumbis ---Boogs-----Jackson-------------

Hoff------Brown----------Ugarkovic-----------Vujica

----------Nabbout-----------Kokko------------------

Just go for it.

[Macca]

I like it. Maybe Nordstrand up top with with Nabbout or Clut 10. A fan of 3 at the back with our squad though.

Hoole could fit into one of the WB roles perhaps

[Jeterpool]

I like it. Maybe Nordstrand up top with with Nabbout or Clut 10. A fan of 3 at the back with our squad though

I toyed with that idea too. Definitely an option.

Solid line up Jeter.
I'd run with Hoole, Clut, Ma and Mullen on the bench too.

And actually make changes before the 85th minute so they can be effective

[MonkeyKplunk]

When we've got Koutroumbis, Boogart and Jackson I'm a fan of a 3 man backline too.

[Jeterpool]

thanks.

I'll give Zane credit, he made a like-for-like change with Kokko and Nordstrand and then took off Kanta for Ma all before the 75th.

[Jeterpool]

Jackson and Koutroumbis aren't slouches.

Nix are likely to play a front 3 of Finkler - Watson - Barbarouses. Kosta is the only real pace threat.

Yeah but is there enough grit and mongrel?

[Jeterpool]

Yeah but is there enough grit and mongrel?

Maybe...but they certainly have the engines.

[Bon]

Who are the shaggers going to be missing, due to internationals??

[MonkeyKplunk]

Katroumbis is our best midfielder but never plays there

Just because you're listed as a midfielder, doesn't mean you don't have an affinity for playing in defence.
Has easily been the most consistent out of anyone playing in the defensive line this season

[StannyCFCJET]

Jackson and Koutroumbis aren't slouches.

Nix are likely to play a front 3 of Finkler - Watson - Barbarouses. Kosta is the only real pace threat.

I haven't noticed Jackson having that much pace boogs would have to be central as a sweeper kinda

[Jeterpool]

Who are the shaggers going to be missing, due to internationals??

Smeltz, Doyle, Krishna, Moss and Durante.

[Wilso8948]

0-0 written all over it. Two shit teams who can't score.

[plague]

Why would Jones change anything at this stage of the season. I hope he sets up the same as always as I have good money on a Nix win.

[Jeterpool]

Oh he will. Bank Plague Jnrs lunch money on it.

[The Dunster]

Smeltz, Doyle, Krishna, Moss and Durante.

I'm surprised Barbarouses missed out on selectrion - is he injured ?

[MFKS]

Smeltz, Doyle, Krishna, Moss and Durante.

Least Duncan can sleep easy this week knowing he unlikely to end up in hospital

[Jeterpool]

I'm surprised Barbarouses missed out on selectrion - is he injured ?

No, apparently his form has been off so they went with Ingham.

If I were the Nix, I'd have made a sneaky request to the NZ Football Federation to look outside the Nix for players which would see someone like Dane Ingham from the Roar, for example, getting a call up over Kosta.

[MFKS]

I thought Dane Ingham is a defender at Roar

The bloke who got picked ahead of Barbarousis is Victory player Jai Ingham whom is a wide attacker

Both of these two are brothers if I not mistaken

[Jeterpool]

I used an inexperienced player as an example. You're probably right reserved his position. No clue.

[evanhayes5]

From training today the team looks like its gon be

4-2-3-1
Duncan; Johnny K, Boogs, Jackson, Hoff; Brown, Steve U; Hoole, LeiLei, Nabbout; Nordstrand

but they do have a session in Nz i was told so might change

[belchardo]

mathematical possibility...of another wooden spoon

[StannyCFCJET]

No Mullen and Kanta. Kokko and Nobby starting YAY

[WolfMan]

No Mullen and Kanta. Kokko and Nobby starting YAY

Mullen is on the bench, but not starting so I take your point

EDIT: No Poljak at all, unfortunately can't see that being a good omen for any contract extension

[StannyCFCJET]

Mullen is on the bench, but not starting so I take your point

Yeah i like Poijak and he is an Aussie now isnt?. PS: watch Kanta being resigned over Poijak

[MFKS]

Mullen is on the bench, but not starting so I take your point

EDIT: No Poljak at all, unfortunately can't see that being a good omen for any contract extension

To me it is great news if Jones is actually trying to sign ****s like Donovan and Georgevski who have the CU NT in them

Not re signing blokes like Poljak is also a positive step forward.
It amazes me how anyone can make any case for keeping this bloke unless your only intent is to sabotage this club forever

Jones may well just be the mesiah when he sends Kanta andBK back to the NPL as well

[turbojetfireV8]

don't know if that was an omen but Fox vision of Jones in the pre-show with a look of resignation on his face, if that was live f*ck are we in trouble before a ball is even kicked...

[MFKS]

top 6

You watching this shit??


Now elaborate on how we a top 6 side judging on the ineptness we ate showing today

[plague]

Hoole's been fantastic tonight.

[Hunter403]

Still, with the weakened Nux we should be dominating and now we are behind

[hawk]

wello has a sh1t squad ay.:sigh:

[Jetmaster]

It should be in the criteria that Wellington must use Fox commentators...not their boring biased shit. Who cares about Team Wellington?

FFS....now they scored.

[Hunter403]

Sh!t we are poor

[plague]

Great finish.

[hawk]

Jonny K has no idea going forward although he is only 12 i guess

[weston]

I turn over to watch the end of the formula one for 1 minute and Wellington scores.

I called it the other week that we would get done by wellingtons youth. If only I had of put money on it.

[halo se7en]

You watching this shit??


Now elaborate on how we a top 6 side judging on the ineptness we ate showing today

Because we've got your mate super coach. Any squad is top 4 with Jones at the helm.

[plague]

If only I had of put money on it.


You need to hang out with your boy Plague more often.

He won't let you forget to put your bets on.

[hawk]

You need to hang out with your Plague more often.

Bet sensibly, bet Plague

[Jetmaster]

I truly hope we win the spoon now...the cage needs to be rattled.

[plague]

Only 40 mins til Jones makes a sub hold tight boys.

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Losing to Wellington youth, such a good team we follow.

[hawk]

mullen was marking fink on that one, and he got turned by barbour on the first

[MFKS]

Hey Plague you were right Stevie U is Socceroos material

Basedon how inept the Socceroos are
Based on how inept the Jets are

He should just walk into the side in a like for like role

[hawk]

btw Brown is shyte. mistake count is off the chart

[The Dunster]

A player free on the left and a player free on the right. So the Jets player plays the ball from the back up the middle along the ground with two Nix players in between the ball the Jets midfielder. Niix intercept and 30 seconds later score their 2nd goal.
Where are these great players Parksey keeps talking about ?
jets are useless - fold the club - nothing worth saving. I'm here purely for the lols now.

Come on Adelaide and win your next three games to put these useless khunts into the wooden spoon position where they belong.

Jones, Lawrie, and Mr Lee can GTFO as well.

[plague]

Hey Plague you were right

Cheers mate.
I know this anyway but still it's good to get a reminder from the fans every now and then.


Bless,
Plague.

[Jetmaster]

Jones to make customary halftime panic sub...if that happens we're gone.

At least we can't lose 40-0.

[StannyCFCJET]

mullen was marking fink on that one, and he got turned by barbour on the first

Is Mullen Starting?

[foti68]

It should be in the criteria that Wellington must use Fox commentators...not their boring biased shit. Who cares about Team Wellington?

FFS....now they scored.

They should just give their licence to Wollongong. we are the laughing stock of FIFA with this team in our comp

What about that ball from Boogaard to an unmarked Johnny K??

No pressure Johnny K in an acre of space and he dril it 5 yards behind him and out for a throw in

**** me

Or just before tgat we are breaking over half way and instead of releasing it onwards quickly Raheem takes 40 extra touches and then sprays a 40 yard cross field pass to a bloke who is 1 million to one to keep in


****ing stupidity is contageous

[StannyCFCJET]

Glad im not watching this rubbish!!!

[weston]

Good to see that panic sub.

Good to see it was an attacking one with Daniel "goals" Mullen coming on.

As I speak. There you go. Goal number 3.

[Hunter403]

Mullen for JK? Sh!!!!!!t

And now a third......

[Hunter403]

Based on Jones' logic he will need a whole new squad. Not one has put his hand up for retention

[halo se7en]

2-0 down and Mullen is brought on. That'll ****ing do me.

[Jetmaster]

2-0 down and Mullen is brought on. That'll ****ing do me.

1413

[hawk]

Mullen for JK? Sh!!!!!!t

And now a third......

Jackson again and Mullen didnt even want to contest the header.

[hawk]

So kokko pop monkey is pulled

[The Dunster]

2-0 down and Mullen is brought on. That'll ****ing do me.

Yes., Mullen having not scored in 30 appearances for the Jets seems the obvious choice to bring on when you are two goals down.

[MFKS]

Hoole Nabbout **** that up

Oh my god


They are a ****ing disgrace

Sack them all

[hawk]

Great save Dunk

[Jeterpool]

Wow

[MFKS]

Great finish Hoffman

[Tommyjet]

😂

[MFKS]

Kiwi Commentators

Really hard on the Jets having to play out the final quarter 4-0 down




No **** them

What about us fans having to watch this shit year in year out

[MonkeyKplunk]

4 nil.
Can only assume we're trying to break that biggest loss record in this game

[plague]

Great finish Hoffman
Told ya he was as good as Georgie.
Great finish.

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Where is the all mighty Jones "IN" supporters. Get out.

Jones out.
Squad out.
I'm out.

See ya when we win stuff again, Plastic as.

[The Dunster]

Well done Hoff - that's the way to get this team sorted. leave the fans in no doubt about how aids the club is.

[plague]

So can anyone confirm what cut we get of O'Donovans contract when he signs for that Malaysian club?

[redwah]

I'm not watching this game but have we even picked up a point since Jackson resigned and got slotted in the team?

[MonkeyKplunk]

Reasonably certain theres at least 20 other players that are just as ****ing bad as Jackson at the moment

[The Dunster]

So can anyone confirm what cut we get of O'Donovans contract when he signs for that Malaysian club?

He won't be signing with the Jets so it's not an issue.

[MonkeyKplunk]

If Lee is serious about keeping Jones, then at the moment every single player who is off contract needs to be shown the door and all those still with years to run need to be put on notice.
Jones needs to start recruiting an entire squad right now and showing that he can do ANYTHING

[WolfMan]

The whole argument in defence of Jones "he came in a week before the season" etc. that works for the first maybe half of the year.

The capitulation has come at the ass end of the season, where a coach should have well and truly stamped their authority on a side.

I take the argument about not his team, but surely that doesn't play for absolutely every player he has been given. A majority of this squad would be signed by Jones had he been in Miller's position.

So I ask again, what makes Jones infallible for those firmly entrenched in his camp?

Jones needs to be shown the door as well as any player off contract and a few that still have time to run on their contracts. Like you implied, things have gotten worse not better - and it's got nothing to do with injuries or strong opposition - it's because the players are weak and the coach / manager doesn't have what it takes to manage the team effectively.

I'm certainly not entrenched in his camp. I was happy to give the benefit of the doubt but the past couple of months have been going from woeful performances to downright horrible.

But Lee seems set at this point to stick with him, so no amount of complaining is going to change that.

No ****ing leadership from Boogaard Nordstrand Brown etc


Now the Kiwi commentators were talking the performance up of the Nix but the reality was they were not that good.
If they were any good theywould have put 10 past us

Whole lot of them need to be put on notice.

Forget the 11 or whatever off contract. The rest of themunder contract should be getting shipped out too.

Gutless andc cowardly display

Jones is as much in this as the players. He along with much of the squad need to be shown the door.

Wellington destroyed us with a massively under strength squad. I place that on Jones.

I understand fully the "Jones" playing style.

We were good when he stuck to what formations/players we had early on, only got worse when Jones tried to add his "style" to the team.


The downfall of this squad is purely on Jones shoulders.
He has less points than Miller, and has us playing worse football too.

Hey Member, where are you now saying we never get flogged under Jones? bahaha

You can place it on Jones all you like

I place it on the ****wits on the park. The lack of effort passion committment heart and execution is down to them.

We were not beaten by the Phoenix manager pulling some tactical masterstroke over Jones

We were beaten by the attitude execution of performance and professionalism of those players


Make no mistake about it.


We are use to watching these blokes lose but that tonight was ****ing spineless even for us.


We can whinge all we like about coaches and ceo and owners

But the buck stops with these players who don the shirt

nine goals to nil in last two matches says a lot for the direction the team is heading in, good work Jones, seriously considering whether I want to retain my membership next year if that khunt is at the helm again (I've been a gold member for years, only time I got a GA season pass was when I was unemployed, but this is seriously the first time since Stubbins I've wanted to go to the park, find a dogshit, and post it and my membership card back to the club telling them where they can stick it - actually, even Stubbins didn't make me feel like that, I think they've finally broken me...)

That is awful. I understand you're trying to be funny, but if something terrible was to happen, you'd feel pretty rubbish.

Back to your original argument - if you can praise a manager for a team's success, they should be open to criticism for their failures.

The teams continually worsening performances reflect the quality of their management.

At the end of the day the buck stops with the coach and Jones has been shown to be not up to the job.

Teams worsening performance reflects on them

They have not shown the slightest bit of fight
They have not shown the slightest bit of execution

They have proven to be incompetent and not up to the task

This game is not that hard. When you have 11 blokes not showing any effort or commitment to play for their fans the shirt or even for themselves as footballers you are ****ing going nowhere

These blokes have shown that as soon as the blow torch of pressure is applied they go to water

Because they are not good enough

Jones may well not be able to coach but the players are responsible for their efforts


They deliver little

So clean out the coach and let the new one clean out the squad.

The players are merely playing the way they are coached. Jones drives the culture and it's been exposed.

Jones isn't up to it and letting him have the offseason to build will leave us in contention for the spoon again next year.

clean out the CEO, then the new one can get a coach preferably from outside his network of polling booth volunteers.

That ok if you have a competent side at your disposal to change the coach and get some results

We not talking about a side bristling with elite level players not aiming up

We talking about a squad who are second best to most squads in the league not getting results

Players playing the way they are coached??
Bullshit

Hoffman playing the ball into his own net??
Nabbout and Hoole ****ing up their best chance??
Passing the ball to no one??
Not making tackles??

No players are responsible for execution and these blokes failed tonight

One thing I will say in Jones' favour - he really does care about the club. Refreshing to see that from a manager, the pain etched on his face realising this season has been a failure.

Give him the opportunity to put some spine and mongrel into the squad and see what he can do.

I backing him being a hard nosed bastard will see us flogged in pre season and drilled into a unit with some grit

what struck me last night was just how awful players like Koutroumbis and Jackson were playing, these are players who will be with the team next year and yet they were every bit as dire as the rest of the rabble out there if not more so at times, in fact practically from kick-off JK was honking and LJ not far behind, that just reinforced to me that this coach has lost the team, even his golden kids couldn't give a shit...

Like the players give a shit about us. Heard Nabbout was talking to fans after the citeh game apologising for the performance with promises to do better the following week and we saw how that went.

[StannyCFCJET]

Jones has lost the dressing room, no doubt about it.

So you either give him another year allowing him to reshuffle the entire/majority of players bring in guys who he thinks wants to play for him or sack him and sign another coach who can come in and perhaps work with whoever will be playing here next season.

With that being said I have seen a few posts here who have said we have played better in possession under Jones than we have under Miller. As someone who watches a lot of training sessions I can say this, the passing structure drills that Jones has implemented arent something new, these were/are the same drills that Miller did in preseason, which leads me to believe under Miller we would have been a possession based team rather than counter attacking. The passing drill is the same the pattern of passing is also the same, in fact Jones more often than not doesnt really even take this drill he lets Clayton Zane run it. He will only step in if someone makes a mistake.

Jones has implemented a lot more small sided games into training than compared to Miller, hence why I think we are fitter team than we were under scott miller. However there seems to be less shape work or even tactical walk throughs.

Now if you give him a season you have to think a) does he have the pull to sign players b) can he make finals with a full preseason with the players he wants c) if he goes who replaces him

Useless being fit if your crap with and without the ball
