Forfiet

[MFKS]

I can't believe I reorganised my work roster so I could go this game

WTF was I thinking

[Jeterpool]

Forfiet

At least that'd only be a 3-0 loss!

[Couscous]

I have a good feeling about this.

[belchardo]

yep, new coach bounce for sure.

[Jetmaster]

I have a good feeling about this.

You been asked to cover short term Gaz?

[belchardo]

serious question, what internal options do we have?

Lawrie
The chinese guy
Boogard
anybody else?

He switched from MV to SFC over the weekend

A-league insta says Deans + Quiang Li

[belchardo]

the roar website has the same.

[mic22]

This will be fun... 8-1 for the smurfs

[Frodo]

This will be fun... 8-1 for the smurfs

As if we are going to score against their backline with Hoff up top? My guess is actually 4-0.

[380]

We couldn't even find the back of the net with that Wiggle redmayne in the sheds during the halftime break.

[Tommyjet]

Biggest loss of the season

[MFKS]

Biggest loss of the season

Look on the bright side

We can start a Dean's Out thread soon

5 5 5

[leftrightout]

Most bookies offering around 1.90 for a Sydney win for anyone interested in doubling their weekly pay

[380]

I look forward too seeing us not being able to string more than two passes together as that has been the story of the season for the W League side, Essentially situation normal.

[StannyCFCJET]

Game is cancelled due to the bad air quality around Newy atm

Game is cancelled due to the bad air quality around Newy atm

Bit of an over reaction to rain

[Superdylan]

I'm waiting for the Newcastle jets to make an official post about it before I believe it.

Sad thing is it will likely get moved midweek or something like that.

[mic22]

Season is cancelled due to the bad air quality around the Jets atm
Better?

[Grimario]

Game is cancelled due to the bad air quality around Newy atm

I assume it's expected to get much worse on Friday then? Because right now, it feels like the best it's been in a month or so.

[380]

Decision is being made this morning 9.30am. There was a post about it being not on but that was removed. Fox then reported that the Jets said a re-avluation this morning at half 9.

[Jetmaster]

Over reaction to the current bushfire media mania. I can see people with jumpers and brollies out my window.
No doubting it will heat up tomorrow but calling off the game the day before seems a bit conservative.

Fox were the idiots who started this shit

It was on their website and they were reporting it on Fox Sports News

Pathetic journalism standards when they run with rumours or create rumours

Anyway the game is on but the ladies is off.

It ain't politics where they trying to change public opinion it a sporting contest in an obscure sport

[Hunter403]

Come on, Sydeny are without 3 midifeld payers apparently. Of course the game has to be called off. There cannot be any risk to Sydney going on their winning way.

Sydney are paying $1.72 for the win tonight.

[380]

Busiest bloke in the stadium tonight will be the poor sod responsible for entering the Smurfs goals in to the scoreboard. Poor bugger should be on double time and a half.

[Hunter403]

Just can't bring myself to go tonight. Plastic at last .....

[MFKS]

Deans Out

[The Dunster]

Arroyo is in a different class to the rest of our squad. 11 mins in and he's dragging defenders out of position.

If only we had someone that could capitalise on it.

[The Dunster]

Fitzuseless marking on Ninka was atrocious

[outsider]

Same old same old

Referee isn't helping us with whistle. Sfc grubby shit is ignored we breath on a SFC player the whistle gets blown

Keeps going wide and no one goes central

[Hunter403]

what's the score?

[The Dunster]

Lefondre is a grub. Should be on a yellow for a professional foul but he's a protected species.

Would love to see that khunts knee snapped.

[The Dunster]

Dimi gets a yellow. Lefondre doesn't. **** this league

[The Dunster]

Vander Saag needs a throat punch. What a piece of shit he is rolling aroung trying to get ourvplkayer carded for nil contact

[The Dunster]

Simon Hill. Kill yourself.

[The Dunster]

Kanta and Milla asleep on the job.

[The Dunster]

RIP Bayern Munich Kanta. This ones not anywhere near as good.

[outsider]

Referee isn't helping us with whistle. Sfc grubby shit is ignored we breath on a SFC player the whistle gets blown

Keeps missing tackles-caused both goals because of it-cant blame Kanta and Topor so blame the ref

[StannyCFCJET]

Simon Hill. Kill yourself.

What did he do?

[StannyCFCJET]

Kanta is too slow and looks completely past it. Bring him off for Thurgate at half time

[belchardo]

Millar and fitzgerald is a pretty terrible combination

[StannyCFCJET]

This Ref if beyond corrupt

[MFKS]

If you gonna have this cluster **** of a thing called VAR surely it should be used so cheating ****s like Le Fondre get cards for diving

[The Dunster]

We are bombing in crosses Peter Crouch couldn't reach.

[Retro Jet]

We're Deadbrain's feet outside the area then?

[The Dunster]

Sydney must have taken the 2-1 on sports bet.

[belchardo]

Georgevski just walked off a field somewhere.

[Thomas477]

We're Deadbrain's feet outside the area then?

Doesn’t matter, depends on where his hands are. Fox won’t show a good angle.

[The Dunster]

We're Deadbrain's feet outside the area then?
Not sure but he stepped back then gestured for the ref to look where his feet were.

[MFKS]

Give it 1 thing at least these cunce had a crack tonight

Glaringly not good enough

That refereeing display was pathetic though

High time the diving got rained in

[Jetkel]

We were worth at least a point tonight, terrific effort across the park & entertaining to boot. The best we’ve looked going forward for the last couple of months.

Arroyo gotta finish that one in the 2nd half, was on a platter for him.

[380]

Fitzuseless marking on Ninka was atrocious

I though the first 10 mins in here we go Fitzgerald is going to have one of those decent games he good for about 6 times a season. That's all it was a flash in the pan, His defensive efforts are atrocious and piss weak. That first goal could have been any player hitting the deck at that moment , It was his chasing players for 5 yards and then turning his toes up leaving it for others to win what was his battle that was painful to watch. When he was beaten like a training cone he just turned it up.

Anyways Lucas was never going to let us win that game tonight, Bloke officiated like he is a punter and had his house on FC. Sure he got the three points for the Smurfs.

[Aegon]

Much better performance, chances missed by Arroyo & Hoffman cost us as well as a couple of defending brain snaps.

Enjoyed the game even considering the very frustrating refereeing performance.

Nah, he had a good game. One big error unfortunately blots his copybook but outside of that he was very effective with ball at feet & should have had a couple of assists. Extremely surprised to see you say otherwise...

At least we can agree on Lucas.

Nah nah hop on Fox watch a replay and watch his defensive work in that game. Non existent the entire game. Bloke gave up the chase time and time again.

It did not matter which side of the park Deans placed him he was pedestrian when it came to his defensive work. If it were not for our cheap ass approach to this season he would be resting up after having run around in a Blacktown or Marconi shirt for a season.

I'm usually not one to knock Fitzy as he gets a bad wrap on here undeservedly.

Defensively though I thought he (as well as millar) were very poor on that right hand side in the first half and Deans was right to switch him to the left. Deans also made the right call to bench Kanta for Gus.

On a separate note, am I the only one who thinks the Hoff needs to be benched? He's not having a good season.

I saw this on facebook, it definitely isn't clear that the ball is over the line completely. Judging by Steveie's reaction afterwards though (he laughed it off with redmayne) I don't think it was clear cut from up close either.

Hopefully one thing Dean's will do or our new overlords does will be to structure us properly

For a start Hoff ain't an attacker at this level. Sure we can send him in to pinch hit and do a job but he ain't proficient enough to be a regular in the front 4

Our backline is also unbalanced
Whether it be Jackson on the right side and looking unco
Whether it be Johnny K at Left Back getting ripped every week
Whether it be the Gypo at right back who can't defend

It high time the coach started putting blokes in their correct position

LB Jackson
LCB Topor
RCB Boogaard
RB Hoff

That is our best back 4 we have. High time we started playing it until we can bring in better options

LB Jackson? Are you on crack?
We've seen that nightmare previously and it did not end well

[MFKS]

Jackson at LB is just as much a nightmare as Johnny

No he ain't

He is not perfect for the role as he will offer little in the role But defensively he is quick he will not let his man have a field day and will do the job required

Due to a lack of options he is much better than anything else we have for that role at this point in time

[StannyCFCJET]

No he ain't

He is not perfect for the role as he will offer little in the role But defensively he is quick he will not let his man have a field day and will do the job required

Due to a lack of options he is much better than anything else we have for that role at this point in time

Defensively he constantly goes to narrow like a third CB leaving too much space on the flanks, We all saw this issue last year many times, No reason to revisit it

[The Dunster]

On a separate note, am I the only one who thinks the Hoff needs to be benched? He's not having a good season.

Nobody is having a good season - that's why we are bottom of the table. Hoff would be in the first 6 players I pick every week .

NTS
Dimi
Uga
Arroyo
Pele
Hoff

The rest can fight it out at training for a starting spot.

[380]

We tried Jackson at LB last season, Who can forget that failed experiment. Splitting pubic hairs when comparing Johnny K and Jackson at LB. He was atrocious in that position particularly the beginning of last season, Everything going in the back of the net come from down his side.

Fair enough comment, & agree good call Deans switching them. Although they seemed to sort themselves second half & given nearly every attack went through that right channel, you’re naturally goin to leave yourself more open defensively - just not as open as it was for the first half.

Neither Millar nor Fitz are strong in a tackle or seem to have much positioning wise, is it worth swapping Hoff & Millar? Not that Hoff Is a defensive powerhouse but frees up Millar & Hoff has more expensive & is physically more imposing.

[Tommyjet]

Miller is an a-league player when he stays out wide and has open space.
Miller is a zone league level player when he cuts inside and tries show off his 'technique'.
Just a thought from the game

[mic22]

It's not all doom and gloom.
But it is.
Outplayed by Sydney B, who seemed to be cruising the whole game and just slotted 2 in when they needed it.
We send a clear statement at every kick-off, by just throwing the ball to the other team: it's like saying "we have no idea what to do", I find it so annoying.
Kanta is back to what he was 3 years ago: if he's not exceptionally fit (and that, unfortunately, doesn't happen too often) he's a liability. Too slow. Had no idea where Ninkovic was.
Arroyo is great off the ball, but misses 2 easy chances. Has to be said, the service he gets is terrible, but he doesn't seem to be a great goal scorer.
Dimi: where is he?
Positives: Uga, Millar (in attack), bit of Thurgate.

[Jetmaster]

The side we put our last night was the strongest (bar Wessi) we have atm on paper.
No point going on and on and on until we have better. FFS, Membah wants Boogaard back in the team.
The main positive was we played football and noticeably, almost no long ball.

But have you seen how bad these other cunce are at defending??

I will take his one penalty red card or own goal a game if I don't have to watch that shit defending we see every week

[MFKS]

Defensively he constantly goes to narrow like a third CB leaving too much space on the flanks, We all saw this issue last year many times, No reason to revisit it

So he shows them the sideline??

That's a positive

If he is too narrow that is also an easily fixable problem

So as I said he still our best option at Left Back we have

[StannyCFCJET]

Yeah he isnt. Bobby is and has proved this last few games. Doesnt mean he should be a long term thing

Who were Sydney missing - O’Neill & Grant. Am I missing anyone? We were missing Wes, so muchness for muchness imo. For those who have the fortune of following a battler club in the Championship as well as the A League, know Wes is a serious footballer & will add a lot to our side. His omission gets underplayed heaps on here.

Arroyo gets adequate service imo - 2 guilt edged chances is good goin in the A League. He’s getting paid to knock them in, I would of expected Hoff to knock in at least one of them if not the both which is saying a lot.

You forgot Brattan.
I think we're not using Arroyo the right way in in general: speed and power are his best assets.
Agree with the chances he had. Hoffman would've missed the header though...

[StannyCFCJET]

Problem for all his good work. Arroyo keeps missing every chance he gets

[Tommyjet]

He's not the only one

[StannyCFCJET]

He's not the only one

Yeah but he's a foreigner and a Striker. Which means another wasted signing

[Bon]

Yeah but he's a foreigner and a Striker. Which means another wasted signing

A bit harsh...
He's been one of the only shining lights for us this season.. Just needs some decent service and it will all come..

Sick of that excuse TBH we use it too often

[Bon]

Sick of that excuse TBH we use it too often

I understand mate.. Fair enough..

I found it all quite interesting that originally there was no mention of him coming back from injury at all.. Then Ernie gets the sack. Suddenly he is fine and back to play?
Is there something I missed there?
