AL 21/22 - Roar v Jets - SUNDAY 3RD APR 2022 4:05PM

[belchardo]

MORETON DAILY STADIUM

Feel like we'll be a reasonable chance in this game. Guaranteed loss.

[My2BobsWorth]

Firstly, thanks for starting the thread belchardo, this place is getting very tardy of late
Could break the world record for shots on goal with no goals

[Mark325]

Squad today isn't filling me with a lot of confidence.

Obviously no Penha, but also no Boumal, Regan or Goodwin.

Also reverted to the back 4 and Hoffman is starting at left wing over Yuel, Silvera or even Mauragis who is on the bench for Murnane.

If this team can't put away chances like against Perth we're gonna be in a lot of trouble

[belchardo]

Beathcake!

[belchardo]

3 cards in the first 25. Beath is in a real "look at me" mood.

[belchardo]

Getting some great audio of pappas. He doesn't sound all that happy.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Alot of cheap turnovers

[MFKS]

These fullbacks of ours are ****ing shit

No Penha
No Boumal
No headless chicken play from Yuel

These two fullbacks are now exposed as offering absolutely ZERO in attack

If they could defend good that could be tolerated but we be better off with Headless Chooks like Gypo Miller or Raheem Hoole playing fullback and ****ing shit up as it would open things up for other players

[mge61]

What a rubbish half of football.

[belchardo]

5 cards! Ah ah ah. (Need to read that with the voice of the count from sesame street).

[belchardo]

7 cards now.

This really is a poor performance.

[The Hacker]

Pitch is a disgrace
Performance is a disgrace
Very poor week

[matty]

Someone needs to tell me what anyone who manages newcastle, what the hell is seen in Dane Ingham. Every week the bloke does more roundabouts and u-turns, and you have Sam Silvera on the bench. Different year same old jets.

[MFKS]

That goal says so much about Arques as a DM

Jockeys a guy in the box half heartedly

Also says plenty about our CDs who should also be not letting people shoot from that area of the pitch after the slow build up

That guy should be getting his shot blocked every time in that situation

[belchardo]

Nice finish

Nostradamus.

[mge61]

The real Jets are back. Make the Smurfs look 2nd rate and then follow it up with a draw and loss to the two bottom and shittiest teams in the competition.

[Bremsstrahlung]

What a rubbish game of football.

Fixed

[My2BobsWorth]

Frodos just happy to watch the brilliance

[Frodo]

Frodos just happy to watch the brilliance

Didn't get to watch this one, fortunately.


But with half our attack missing, I wasn't expecting goals, and with Hoffman, Jurman and Elsey starting, I knew we would concede.


At least it sounds like Papas realised he set us up wrong and tried to change things. Doesn't mean he doesn't deserve criticism for the shitty setup in the first place, but at least he's not arrogant enough to not accept his fault and change things.

[Mark325]

A lot went wrong tonight for sure.

No Boumal and Penha had us off to a real bad start. Thurgate and Savvas behind Beka was a fraction as dangerous and in turn our midfield looked worse with Thurgate mostly higher up the pitch.

Ingham can’t have a starting spot next season, he’s truly awful and it’s amazing he stayed on the pitch as long as he did. Hoff starting at CB was also an awful choice, the back 3 works well but Hoff just isn’t suited to being a CB, should have given Warland some minutes.

Savvas needs to go, possibly one of our worst internationals and I’m not fully sold on Arques hanging around. He’s not a bad player but if this club can find Boumal, Penha and Beka then I’m sure it can find an international midfielder better then him.

[My2BobsWorth]

Papas signed a striker with hardly any goals to his name, saying you can't go on overseas form. What? He's a dud

We've got the 3rd best attack in the league, have already scored 6 more goals than we did all season last year with 7 more games to play. Compared to Ernie's 2nd place finish side who scored 2.1 goals a game, Papas team scores 1.6 a game this season, 0.9 goals per season last year for example.


You're allowed to be unhappy, but I'm still going to think you've never watched the Jets before if you keep coming out with these hot takes that make little sense.


We are all but safe from the spoon already, and still with a chance of either finals football or at least finishing above the Gypos. If you would have offered everyone that at the end of last season I don't know many people who wouldn't have taken that offer.

To further support this, we've scored the second most goals at this stage of a season in our history as a club - NSL and A-League. We're free-scoring compared to our history.

This is why you're the master Jet. Love your work as always.

[My2BobsWorth]

The use of meaningless and irrelevant stats to prove your points is a disgrace. Read the post. Shame on both of you

[Bremsstrahlung]

Beka is 2nd to maclaren for goals, not bad for a striker with no form.

Penha leading assists.

Think the bigger concern is our defence.

Maybe pappas can get us a few defenders with no overseas form.

I normally ignore people who have a go at me on here, but you've particularly triggered me on this occasion. Well done.

So I can use meaningless and irrelevant stats to discuss your point to avoid being a disgrace, which striker are you talking about?

Are you talking about Mikeltadze?

Did he sign a striker from overseas with few goals? Yes - it's is a statement of fact he signed a striker but it's your perception the number is "few". But who cares what they did somewhere else? It's what they do for us.

So with that in mind here's my meaningless and irrelevant stats:
* Beka is in the top 10 of OVERALL Jets players in the minutes per goal (mpg) with a goal per 177 minutes in competitive fixtures - A-League, NSL, Pre-Season Cup, FFA Cup, OCC and ACL.
* His MPG rate is better than Griff, O'Donovan, Nabbout to name but a few..
* At the top 3 on that list played a combined total of 9 matches which is hardly a large sample size....Beka has made 18 appearances so far by comparison
* So, he's scoring at a high rate compared to other Jets across history, he's 9th of 129 scorers, which is Top 7%, or if you want, he's 9th from 252 players to pull on the shirt (Top 3.5%).

If that's what you want to call a "dud" then so be it. I'm happy with what he's delivering, as are many others.

I'll now depart in shame and disgrace.

For those interested, here is the Top 10
1. Kwabena Appiah-Kubi - 2 appearance, 1 goal, goal every 36 minutes
2. Chad Mansley - 3, 1, 45
3. Joey Gibbs - 4, 1 ,97 mpg
4. Archie Goodwin* - 10, 3, 136
5. Sasho Petrovski - 42, 11, 150
6. Eli Babalj* - 11, 1, 163
7. Daniel McBreen - 36, 9, 166
8. Adam Taggart - 44, 18, 168
9. Alex Moreira - 19, 4, 177,
9. Beka Mikeltadze - 18, 9, 177
9. Riley McGree - 12, 5, 177

It was tongue in cheek, I'm not usually that tolerant. A lot of people including me don't rate stats that include penalties

Hey, hey, hey... insult me all you want, I love it when people like yourself get offended with very minimal prodding, but talking crap about Jeterpool (and specifically his stats) is definitely crossing a line around here


If you don't understand how important the man is to this forum, and the Jets community in general, I'm sure many people will be happy to politely explain it to you. I'll even show you my Jeterpool tattoo if you'd like, it's quite large so I might need to show you in person to really understand how much I love the man, the legend, the stat master...

[My2BobsWorth]

Is it a target on your bottom?

[Jeterpool]

What do you mean by that?

[Frodo]

Bottom, hehe.

If that was meant to be humorous, you missed the mark. Pull your head in.

[The Dunster]

Unlike past seasons I think players will genuinely be happy to come here and be part of what Pappas is building.
Even on our worst day now we are still worth watching - which is not something I'd have said in the past.
When we get it right I think we play the best football in the league.

I just hope we have some cash reserves for when the other teams start bidding for Beka and Penha.

Nice pun there Furns :rof:

Beka has another season on his contract. Penha is the one who will be hot property should he be loaned again.

BUt you're right - we're more appealing than last season despite no real change in the financial outlook of the club.

I wonder what happened to all those "potential buyers" reported a few months back?

I suppose you want an answer that doesn't involve they were bullshitting us ??

[Jeterpool]

I'm happy to take whatever. You, I and many on here have been around long enough to take ANY news about "potential" owners with a truckload of salt.

[Buddha]

Buying an A-League club is a massively unattractive prospect. Losing money constantly with low levels of income/revenue, zero infrastructure as well.
