We lose and Bert has to go

A win, a statement win, is needed. We have 2 must win games minimum in the next 3 against teams below us in the table.

I don't agree he has to go, but I think the pressure will start to mount.

It the Gypos

No ****ing excuses

If we cant beat an NPL level team we need to get a new coach period

[StannyCFCJET]

Merrick gets next season no matter what. Be if he coaches like he is this season with the same tactical decisions then he leaves season end

[Jeterpool]

Shaun Evans is the referee.

Is it bad that no matter who we get I feel like I sigh in apathy knowing full well I don't trust them? Actually, that's not true about Alex King.

[mic22]

Lawrie wants an intimidating atmosphere.
Yeah, good luck with that at Newcastle Stadium :D

[plague]

Gypos willl be out on the pitch breathing in that crisp clean Newcastle air like they just got out of Shawshank.

You cant intimidate a bunch of blokes that spend every 2nd monday lined up at Centrelink awaiting payment.
They've seen it all.

Great so time wasting is allowed then

[Jetmaster]

Hope Dimi saw how Brattan puts them away again tonight.

[Jeterpool]

Hope we've learned that if you're angry with an opposition player that rolling over as they pass is not on but headlock, direct shoves to the chest and pushes in the back are ok

[mic22]

Hope we've learned that if you're angry with an opposition player that rolling over as they pass is not on but headlock, direct shoves to the chest and pushes in the back are ok

A few weeks ago we also learnt that kicking in the ribs a player on the ground is only worth 2+1 games.
If you're not wearing a Jets uniform, that is...

[Jeterpool]

Derby day. Mind you apparently the Fox Sport dubbed "Desert Derby" is getting more of the attention.

Prediction for the lineup? Mine is

Moss
Gorgeous George
Boogs
Topor
Ivan the great
Cowby
Stevie U-G
Jair
Dimi
Jowic (on the left - we need someoe who can have the discipline to track Millar but also the pace to make him think twice about going forward)
Roy

[Jetmaster]

Just as an aside - Bolt has given up.

You keep Miller at bay by getting our fullback and winger pushed up and going down his side all night

He will then offer little in attack as he running all night already


Wont matter anyway

Gypos are shit

No chance we see Ivan again :(

Jets 6-1

[Tommyjet]

Really? Ernie mentioned him on nbn the other night

[Jeterpool]

Really? Ernie mentioned him on nbn the other night

He was on the bench the other night as well. I suggest he plays tonight so Johnny hasn't played 3 games in 7 days - I'd rather Johnny and Gorgeous George for the Perth game.

[Jeterpool]

Jets 6-1

Would love that.

[StannyCFCJET]

Really? Ernie mentioned him on nbn the other night

Ernie says alot on NBN. He played Jackson at LB for first few rounds over Ivan. Tells you everything

[StannyCFCJET]

Ivan is the best LB we have but doesnt play. Is it a training issue? Fitness? Or Ernie doesnt rate him?

[MFKS]

Too slow
Too small

There 2 main reasons why he will fail as a pro footballer

Best left back??

FMD

I will have George Johhny K Hoff at Left Back before Kibg Vuj

We played our best football last season with king vuj at Lb bombing forward and providing width while whipping balls in. We havent really had that on the left since he got injured last season and we've lost a dimension to our attack

[StannyCFCJET]

We also won and looked our best against Brisbane 1st game with Vuj at LB

[MFKS]

We also played our best football with Dimi at 10 no Vargas and Nabbout in the side

As for your point about we looked our best against Brisbane

FMD have you watched them play lately??

They are horrid to watch

We are horrid as well and when did we play well without Nabbout

[MFKS]

We are horrid as well and when did we play well without Nabbout

That night Vargas didnt play Dimi went to 10 and we put 8 past the Gypos

[The Hacker]

He's made some changes no Boogs, Vargas or Jair. Ivan and Kaine from the get go

[MFKS]

Back 3

**** Yeah

[Couscous]

Opta just tweeted this. Wow.


Newcastle Jets have made 238 total shots (inc. blocks) this season, more than any other team; however, they’ve scored the fewest goals (14) of any team thus far in 2018/19. #F3Derby

[The Dunster]

We are playing shit

[Couscous]

Are we 5-3-2?

[Hunter403]

Are we 5-3-2?

Yep and it looks like we've never practiced it

[Hunter403]

Sheppard spilling blood against the scum. Bloody hero!

[The Dunster]

Ball movement by Jets is pitiful. Players look lost.

[The Dunster]

Do our players train together? Watching this display I would swear they had never met before.

[plague]

We are playing 7 at the back and 3 fullbacks up front.

I'm longing for the glory days of Jair running at defenders.

[StannyCFCJET]

Then tripping over or passing it when one on one?

[Hunter403]

Johnny K, NTS and Jackson in each other's pockets so everytime Georgevski and Ivan get forward holes open out wide. Thank Griff the Scum are to inept to take advantage.

Ivan's touch terrible tonight. Pun intended.

[mic22]

What a fantastic game of football...

[Couscous]

Sign up this bandaged dude.

[StannyCFCJET]

Johnny K cooked again left on field. Hopefully doesnt cost us this time

[monz6]

Ivan!!! Goal saver!

[Couscous]

This might not be 6-1 at full time.

[Hunter403]

This might not be 6-1 at full time.

Paging The Captain.....

[StannyCFCJET]

Jackson you hero

[LiamD]

Absolutely spectacular last ditch defending tonight. Obviously better if it doesn't come to that but Ivan and Jackson were immense when they needed to be.

[Couscous]

Just 10 points behind sixth spot! We're doing brilliantly!

[monz6]

We won’t lose another game, including the grand final

[Hunter403]

Bloody lucky.....for once

[Retro Jet]

Forget your Mo Salah's, your Pep G's...your messy Lionel's.
2 outta 3 so far?
WE'RE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!
Hand us the UCL trophy now!!

Agreed

[plague]

Bloody lucky.....for once

i mean, this cant be ignored.
if by rights these things 'even out' then we are gonna stroll this 2nd half of the comp getting kissed on the dick by an angel.

What ??

Look at the opposition FFS

It was a disgrace we didnt win by more


More importantly when is Kanta back because we need him and Ridenton at CM if we gonna play that system

[Jeterpool]

I hope Jackson goes out in town tonight and doesn't have to buy a single drink.

5 straight Derby wins people

[plague]

yeah weve got time to dissect all of this later on but the Ugabooga/Cowburn combo stunk.
Again, its a testament to how freaking good Kanta is but if he aint gonna be there then Ernie has to work out the centre of the park real quick.

Our goal (and best opportunities) came from Ugabooga taking on his first man and beating him. So many times tonight he laid off, and the play was stunted.
The odd times he backed himself, he did well. Can only assume he has no problem going forward knowing Kanta is back there, but all these other jamokes dont fill him with the same level of confidence.

Happy for Jackson, was really strong in some pivotal moments. Vujica the same.

Georgeous George got the holy hell kicked out of him all night and the refs cared for nowt.
it was a joke.

[plague]

also, man oh man, its a 90m game and you can be absent for the most of it, but Roys ball for the goal is what hes paid for.
Big ups the Shep Proudfoot for making the run. but wowsers, what a ball.
some games thats all the difference you need.

[Frodo]

That was terrible to watch. Just terrible.

[Retro Jet]

I hope Jackson goes out in town tonight and doesn't have to buy a single drink.

5 straight Derby wins people

And here we were thinking you were backing off with the stats.
:grin:
Build the statue now, as they say.

[plague]

also, im sure youre all happy to join me in a big **** you to Nick Montgomery.

What a filthy gypo prick that bloke is.

**** him.

[Retro Jet]

Deadset big lolz at Connor Pain.
Watch the replay of his 79th min cock up.
Ball come to him off the woodwork, brings it down with his right thigh but does an Irish dance in the middle of it to bring it onto his left peg...just enuf milliseconds for Jacko to intervene.
Btw, Moss is flapping flagless semaphore whilst all this is going on...from behind the line :wtf:

[Bon]

Seriously, that last minute diving tackle by Jackson to block a Pain open goal was magnificent..
A few of our last ditch defensive efforts last night were superb, however I'm trying to forget how they originated or even got in to that position in the first place.. The sooner Kanta is back, the better..

The rest of the game, not so great, but I'll take the ugly win..
Excluding the one froth up when Clisby went through Georgie and Hoole came running in wanting to hug, it didn't feel like a derby at all..

Can you imagine what would have happened if that was Boogaard ??

Being we only now 8 points from 6th spot I am pretty confident we can run down not only Pissants and Wellington and be close to fighting it out with Melbourne Heart for 4th spot

From there the title will be ours thanks to VAR and refereeing incompetence

But most importantly 2 from 2 Champions of Europe AGAIN and lengthening our lead at the Top of the table

Jesus the drugs must be cheap where you are. I'd say gimme some, but I don't think I want to come across as deluded as this.

We're not making the 6.

[Jeterpool]

The next few games against Nix, WSW and Adelaide will have a big influence over whether we are in the conversation or not.

A point in Perth will be a bonus.

[Frodo]

We're not making the 6.

The competition is so rubbish this year we could probably go on and win the whole thing. This has to be some of the worst football in A league history this year. So if we learn how to play even half not rubbish we could go on a 5 game run and we are in the 6. 36 points still available.

Making the 6 this year won't be down to us playing well, it will be down to others playing worse than us.

But also, we could easily go win the spoon. Meh, either way I'll probably be disappointed.

exactly.

Victory with Honda are the only 'good' team.
If he is out, or they dont click back into gear when he comes back, then they are just another bunch of dudes.
Sydney are garbage, but have had all the calls.
Wellington are exciting, but playing semis away from home wont help.
Perth will choke, Perth always choke.
City will cock it up, City always cock it up.
Adelaide can be red hot, but are inconsistent.
We can beat anyone, and can lose to anyone.

That gives us just as good a chance as anyone.
Wanderers, Gypos and Brisbane are trash.

[Mark325]

Wanderers, Gypos and Mariners are the only ones who’s fate feels pretty set in stone at this point, all of them will finish below 7th place.

If we make the 6 I think it’ll be at the expense of Adelaide over Wellington, Wello are playing with better form atm and seem more likely to threaten in the final series

Adelaide need to hold on to Goodwin. If he goes, that's a massive dent to their goal scoring capacity.

[mic22]

A simple observation here:
- we only won games against the bottom 3
- Adelaide and Nix haven't lost any games against the bottom 3.

If we don't start winning games against top teams now, we're done. That means beating Perth away, and so on.
At the same time, we need to hope that either Adelaide or Nix will start losing points in easy games.
I'm not very optimistic...

[The Dunster]

Wednesdays match was proof enough for me that we will not be playing finals football this season.

We don't counter / transition like we did in the past and that was pretty much what brought us success.

This season we haven't really set ourselves up to play the same way and the players essentially look lost.

Neither Jair or Shepherd have the attributes of a Nabbout or a McGree - they would not have made the starting team last season.

Mitch Austin I thought would bring us a lot more than he has in replacing Nabbout - but still looks a long way from showing what he's capable of.

Agree - a good thing was that our goal had that speed of last years transitions. But we don't do it enough now - the lack of speed is telling.

[Negative Police]

Stale football. Trying hard without the belief looks obvious. They kicked us in the first 20 and we took it. Bk was the better keeper wtf.

The speed that Mitch Austin can provide is exactly what we are missing IMO. That two minute cameo in the first round should have been enough to convince Ernie to provide him more game time but like so much of Ernie's decisions this season they leave you scratching your head sometimes.

Ernie no doubt realising Austin is a filthy gypo who was thrust upon us by the gypo CEO in order to further white ant us.

Ernie might just be a bit more woke than some of you blokes.

[Jetmaster]

Many Gypos come here and and are rehabilitated. None go the other way and succeed.
