Millar didn’t make the squad, mustn’t be fit enough

[The Dunster]

I'd gladly trade him to WSW for Georgevski.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Apologies if my sarcasm detector was malfunctioning.
Think they just made a comment that he got out of quarantine yesterday. To train this week and be assessed for next game. Also commented that he’s not used to the heat.


Ffs. Why wasn’t he acclimatising in quarantine. Last I checked, the hotel air con goes to 30 degrees.


Goosebumps watching that semi a few years ago. I certainly remember McGrees goal to be a lot more scorpion and a lot less sticking a leg out

[The Dunster]

We look shit.
This 3-4-3 does not suit.
Uga and thurgate are cancelling each other out.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Prso hasn’t had a second touch.
Thurgate hasn’t found a Jets shirt.
Roy looking like that 40 year old playing sole striker in All Age that is full of encouragement, but never a threat cause unless you pass to his feet, he ain’t beating anybody to a ball.

[The Dunster]

I don't know who Connor Otooles manager is but well done getting him a wage.

[belchardo]

Roy needs to be more aware than that. I know it's easy in hindsight, but a fraction delay and he'll get the rebound or yuel scores. Probably a bit harsh but it's frustrating.

[StannyCFCJET]

I know its hot but our football is turgid. A better coach changes things up already. Sadly Deans isn't tactically flexible enough to get the full time gig

[Bremsstrahlung]

Lol. What’s up with Bosnich? Him and peacock at eachother

[belchardo]

Commentary Gold.

Peacock: Boz, can you find out if the sub is injured
Bosnich: no, I'm too busy watching the game to do what they're paying me for. Might ask at half time if I can be arsed
Peacock: ok then

They cut him off earlier too. And when they went back to him, he couldn’t be bothered finishing his analysis and just offered “good save”.

Interested to see when they cut to him next.

Yeah, bozza's been a bit pissy for a few months now.

Thurgate with a header in the box. Don't think I ever thought I'd see that. Good follow up by yuel.

Probs getting silenced like Simon Hill was. Bozza loves football and he can't be blind to how Fox treats it

[Bremsstrahlung]

I’ve noticed a few players when interviewed at half time making some snide comments around mid afternoon fixtures in summer.


Good on Yuel. The poacher we need.
Nice to see new blood making a name for themselves. I’ve really enjoyed seeing younger players step up this year. Wenzel-halls for roar has been great too. Toure for Adelaide. Brimmer for victory. The next generation of a league names is gonna have a massive impact on football in this country imo.

[StannyCFCJET]

Can Prso remain on his feet.

[The Dunster]

Can Prso remain on his feet.
You should ask the blokes fouling him stanny.

[StannyCFCJET]

Hasn't been a foul everytime

[belchardo]

Great work jonny.

Also great work Duncan in the first half with that save

[belchardo]

Great chase by thurgate. Smart work by both him and duncan

[Bremsstrahlung]

Yehp. Fox guys loving it too. Rightly so. The replays, wow. Gives up a few metres at the start and if Duncan didn’t get a hand to it, he intercepts that.

That’s what you want at all levels of the game. Great determination.

[The Dunster]

Boogs should have buried that header.

[belchardo]

Boogs should have buried that header.

Indeed

[belchardo]

How much longer is kostya signed for? Can't see anybody taking him off our hands so will have to wait for the contract to finish.

[Bremsstrahlung]

We really don’t like winning games do we.
Turning ball over very sloppily in these last 5-10 minutes

[Bremsstrahlung]

You know what, Thurgate has impressed me today.
Started a bit reckless with passes. His effort for the header, his run to make that 2v1 a 2v2, the common sense not to float a ball in with 60 seconds to go.
MOTM for mine.

Thought Hoffman was also good.

[belchardo]

MOTM - luna. Big part of the reason we won.

Hah, brem and I posting at the same time. Agree with everything you said. Duncan good as well, yuel good.

[ForeverRed]

Our subs were poor

[Mark325]

Our subs were poor

Hopefully with the new signings and millar kanta and Jackson coming back into the squad that’ll be fixed going forward and we won’t have to see kosta on the pitch ever again

[The Hacker]

Our subs were poor

Just offer nothing do they

[Mark325]

By no mean a perfect performance, but 7 points in our past 3 games is a good sign of improvement going forward and i do think players are improving and continuing to perform above expectations.

For me, the biggest changes needed are a better formation and i think the midfield pairing of thurgate and ugar just doesn't quite gel atm. I'd also like a different striker then Roy but for this season i think we'll have to make due

[Jeterpool]

Yuel is developing a knack for scoring goals. He's on track to be one of the fastest to 5 A-League goals for the club in our history.

I'll put the list out once he gets there.

I also think his 1st goal shouldn't have been disallowed. Roy "interfered" with the goalie when the ball was well past him.

Anyway... not pretty, but 3 points.

Yeah, I agree the first goal should have stood..
The ball was well in the back of the net before Roy got anywhere near Glover..

That was never going to happen
