From a budget point of view they already had him on the books so it's probably a cheaper option than going out looking for someone else (at least for the moment). I wanna see him given the chance too, after all, in comparison to what we've had to put up with anything has got to be an improvement before a ball even gets kicked. I'm giving credit here to Griff as well, hasn't even kicked a ball in anger for us yet and already has turned the club around by plotting the demise of GVE - absolute legend son, well done!!

Olivia Hall asks via email: What has been the biggest adjustment you’ve tried to make to the team since taking over as head coach?

CZ: I watched the pre-season unfold and we don’t want to veer away from the work that was done there and start completely from scratch.

We’re just looking to simplify roles and make sure that defensively, the structure is as good as it can be to keep our goal in tact, because I feel we’re a team that will always threaten with the people we have in the front third.

@Ben_Robbo10 asks via Twitter: Hi Clayton, how will Joel Griffiths fit into the line up tactically?

CZ: Joel is a fairly versatile player who can fit in just about anywhere in the front third, but I see him leading the line in tandem with the likes of (Emile) Heskey and (Adam) Taggart.

We’ll have a number 9 and a number 10 and it will be up to those players to develop their chemistry and learn to play off each other.

Ryan Parker asks via email: What has been the most difficult thing for you to get used to in the past few weeks?

CZ: Adjusting to all the extra elements of the job has taken a little bit of getting used to, because there are a lot of extra responsibilities that come with being the head coach of the A-League side as opposed to National Youth League.

Things like dealing with media, community engagement, getting more involved with set-pieces and video analysis, liaising with the medical staff, having more dialogue with each individual player on a day-to-day basis and just generally making sure each area is running smoothly.

They’re all areas that I’ve had to get my head around in a short space of time, but I feel like I’m steadily coming to grips with those elements of the role.

Mitchell Green asks via email: How do you think the additions of Nick Ward, Joel Griffiths and David Carney will help us towards the back end of the season?

CZ: I think all three of them come to the Club with good pedigree. They’ve played at good Clubs and they’ve had good experiences in different leagues overseas.

I think they’ll improve the standards in the training environment, help people within the group in their individual roles.

You can see that all three of them are very good players, so during the back end of the season they going to be very important for us.

Each game left now has a finals-like importance to it and that’s where you need players with big-game experience and all three of those guys tick that box

@lquiquer asks via Twitter: Why was Connor Chapman left out of the squad last week after playing (and captaining) the Australian U-22 side?

CZ: I’ve been quite happy with the team defensively and although we copped a few goals against the Central Coast I don’t necessarily feel it was through individual errors.

Also, I think it’s important when you come in to show a little bit of faith with the players that you trust for that first game and give them a chance to rectify things.

For the majority of the time, Taylor (Regan) and Kew (Jaliens) have been quite consistent.

It’s a shame that Connor’s season has been broken up by his national team commitments, but the challenge now is for him to try and work his way back into contention so he’s ready to take the chance when it comes.

@soccer_joel asks via Twitter: What are your coaching ambitions?

CZ: I haven’t really thought much beyond this 12-week period. For me now, the job is to make the top six and we’ve got 10 games left to do that.

I prefer to focus on each match as it comes and beyond that, the Club hierarchy will decide which direction they’re looking to take once the season is finished, but I’d like to think this won’t be my first and only chance of being a head coach.

Jared Undery asks via email: One thing that has really been troubling me to understand with what has been going on at the Jets in recent years is the lack of opportunities provided to young Kale Bradbery. Considering his obvious ability at finishing chances and what can only be described as issues with goal scoring in the HAL side why has he had no opportunity?

CZ: Kale has proven he’s a very good goal scorer at National Youth League level, but in recent seasons one of the biggest changes in Australian football has been the gulf between the NYL and A-League.

Having worked as a youth coach and now with the A-League squad, I see the difference in quality between the two on a daily basis and I know it isn’t an easy step to make.

Kale has been brought in numerous times to train with the first team and that’s helped his development a lot.

As a Club, we’re working as hard as we can to make sure the better youth players have the best chance possible to become A-League players, but you have to be careful not to break a player by bringing them in before they’re ready to make an impact.

Owen Fischer asks via email: What are the main things the team needs to focus on to make sure we get a finals spot?

CZ: The big thing is just focusing on one game at the time and that’s the way we’re going to approach it for the back end of the season.

Each game is a chance to climb up a rung on the ladder and we can’t get ahead of ourselves and say that any one match is more important than another.

Every point becomes so crucial at this point of the season and we’ve got to fight to get the maximum number of points out of each game we play to give us the best possible chance of finishing in the top six.

Brian Gould asks via email: As well as the Jets, which five other teams do you see making up the top six at the end of the season?

CZ: At the moment, you would have to say Brisbane Roar, Western Sydney Wanderers and Central Coast Mariners are all in a good position.

It’s so congested in the middle of the ladder that just about any team could fill those remaining spots, but if I had to pick two, I’d probably say Adelaide United and Sydney FC.

Only alternative is to keep giving time to the guy who will retire in a couple of months time and has done virtually nothing for us for years.

stopping the confidence rot in the players giving them a chance to show what they have to offer without GVE in their ear and on their backs. it should show which players were being stifled or those that just don't have the mental strength or ability.

Goodwin for one looks to have done a complete 180 since Zane's appointment, caravella has not changed much at all, ditto bridges. gallaway still can't beat the first man when crossing, hence offering nothing going forward. Gibbs is nothing special so can go as well.

this should give those in management clearer ideas of who to ship out to create room for the new coach to work his magic.

I've been asking myself the same question over the last few weeks.

Pretty clear now that Zane is a rubbish coach. I reckon GVE deserved to be booted based on the lack of results, but what was the point in doing it so early if the club only had this rubbish bloke as a replacement?

tbh, there is a big difference between finishing 9th or 10th to finishing 5th - 7th, which I think was very achievable under Gary.

It was HSG's way of trying to appease the fans while spending no money.

If they gave half a toss, they would have looked for a new manager rather than running to the youth coach. The whole exercise was about spending as little cash as possible.

When Zane first took over he talked about how it was going to be "back to basics", and getting the defence right. See here:


Olivia Hall asks via email: What has been the biggest adjustment you’ve tried to make to the team since taking over as head coach?

CZ: I watched the pre-season unfold and we don’t want to veer away from the work that was done there and start completely from scratch.

We’re just looking to simplify roles and make sure that defensively, the structure is as good as it can be to keep our goal in tact, because I feel we’re a team that will always threaten with the people we have in the front third.

Reality is that he's done the complete opposite. We've conceded 8 goals in 3 games now.

Under GVE we actually had one of the better defensive records in the league. Now it's a complete clusterf*ck at the back, the defenders + midfield look like they have nfi when it comes to defending simple runs through the middle of the park.

Like I said, I think GVE deserved to be sacked at the end of the season, but replacing him with this guy with his poor record was a terrible move. the butcher was right to give him shit after only 30 minutes, this guy is honking.

Don't agree with that PV4 . We may have some quality and personnel issues but galvanise the squad and get them playing for each other, the fans etc.

8 goals in 3 games and some very sloppy half arsed efforts in this show that they don't care.

One bloke come back to the club after 5 years walking the earth curing disease and what have you and showed more passion in twenty seconds after full time than these ****s do.

Have to agree.

Love how when we get a throw in and the **** who is taking it seems to think he has to ignore any free players and wait for our opponent to get themselves organised before delivering it.

Then add in the fact that our blokes aren't even looking to be the recipient of a quick throw in and are not even watching for one.

FFS It is these common sense 1%ers that need addressing

Good reminder for the youth coaches out there (including me) not to forget the basics - cause you look like a bunch of gooses (geese?) if you do....

I am just of the opinion that there are decent coaches out there in not only this country that never get a go due to the circle jerk merry go round but overseas also.

We just need some one to come in. Get back to BASICS, Do the little things right (which we Don't) add a little bit of KISS and actually play with some passion pride and a level of enthusiasm we currently don't.

Back to basics for sure, each player should know exactly where there meant to be and what their meant to be doing in the following situations

- We have the ball
- They have the ball

And how to transition between the two.

I think our players are pretty good at standing. The lack of movement is a disgrace. One particularly time yesterday either Kew/Taylor had the ball and no **** was free. No **** was moving and no **** wanted the ball. Nix were just sitting off us waiting for us to pass it and no one wanted it and our captain is ordering the ball to go 40 yards back to Birraz to hoof it up the park to our attackers who lets face it ain't good aerially and no match for the likes of Durante and Sigmund.

What's even worse is there is no value in these blokes running into space anyways as their teammates have no interest in giving them the ball and are more interested in giving it to someone who is standing still

And yet we still have the lowest pass completion rate of any team in the league.

If pass completion is an issue we can bump that up a bit by playing more ball between the centrehalves and Birraz. Seems we have cutdown on this recently

russjaybee

Well yeah, pass completion is an issue because the other way of wording it is turning over the god damn ball.
When you consider how often we recycled the ball rather than crossing it I'd say it's a fairly damning statistic.

He's not had a preseason nor is it his squad.

FFS people, we haven't won a derby since some of the squadron were born, the wanderers are quality at nullifying games and we didn't get wiped off the park like some feared.... And we lost to Wellington. We ALWAYS lose to Wellington.

The sky is hardly falling. We no doubt need to sure things up at the back, missing Kanta is killing us, but we appear to be going forward with a little more freedom and I don't mind that.


He's he for twelve weeks, I reckon we'd get more out of backing the bloke than riding his arse. We don't need to call for his head, it's essentially already on the chopping block with a sharp knife hanging above it.

When was the last time he played at right back? 3 or 4 years ago? Last time he played at RM he looked lost.

As for awareness and body shape, last I looked he wasn't a Juan Mata type of midfielder who looks poised and elegant whenever he's on the ball. He's a box to box, ball winning midfielder, the type of rough as guys players you want on your team. Zad's energy and willingness to go into tackles is why we need him in centre mid and not at right back. Surely you can see that our midfield is lacking energy, and you're proposing to remove the one player who actually provides a bit of energy to the mid.

Pico

Middleby is not missing tackles and losing possession in midfield though.

Having energy is all well and good, but I'd rather have a footballer in the midfield.

We can't just ignore the fact that our midfield is terrible, no ball retention and no creative instincts for our front men.

Something needs to change and having a serious look at a bloke who's best attributes are his energy over things like positional awareness, passing, ball retention, defensive duties etc is not the right way to go about it.

I think zads is ok when you have a kanta type player to clean up for him, you can then afford his negatives because as you say his energy and his midfield partner make up for them, but realistically going forward do we want to be one injury away from having our midfield lose its cohesion & brains, I expect more than that.

I wouldn't mind seeing zads at right back, he can at least beat the first man when putting in a cross, something gallaway is still struggling with. His energy would be useful for tracking back after pushing forward too. I'd like to at least see us try a back four of
Zads---Reagz---Kew---Carney

Wouldn't mind seeing zane try ox in midfield either, the coaches have said in the past that he's one of the best passes we have, get him in there instead of roundabout.

Memo to HSG: Either move Deans out or Zane out and bring in an actual senior coach for them to learn from for three or four season minimum. Then they can take over the top job.

Dont just appoint someone because they are cheap. Adelaide have shown what you can do if you hire a coach with a proper philosophy and allow him to restructure where required.

Correct, that's why the Jets copied AUFC's blueprint except they stole the manger from their own youth team to coach the seniors.

The time is not right for Zane to stay on as No. 1. His inability tactically is my main concern. He could not observe the flow of the game and make a change, the goals tonight were coming for some time but Zane left our midfield open for Perth to play through. Things like this GVE would have responded too and changed.
Also other tactical stuff that lead to doubts are we are playing a quite traditional 4-4-2 where he says roles are simplified from Gary's system but perhaps too much and we are sticking to that even when changes might be appropriate, it leads me to believe he doesn't know of much else.
I still believe he can becone a good manager. His press conferences put him in good light as a composed guy but I feel he should stay as assistant (not youth coach) to an experienced tactically astute head coach

Why do we pay $200 plus a year for Jets tickets when we can punch ourselves in the groin for free ?

Just get a ga season ticket next year.
Heaps cheaper.

Have been saying this for weeks. Not a head coach, wont be for at least four or five more seasons under a proper senior coach.

And neither is f*cking Deans

Deadset, we don't really have tactics with the ball anymore apart from the quick counters. If that fails then we seem to end up passing the ball backwards until we give it away.

All successful teams are built on a strong counter attack, but the real winners are the ones who can threaten when they build from the back as well. We don't necessarily have to play like Brisbane or Adelaide, but it wouldn't hurt if we could maybe pass the ball forward a couple of times and craft an opportunity ourselves rather than relying on the other team to **** up.

I'm convinced Zane will get the gig if he gets us into the semis - HSG will have an excuse to do it on the cheap.

So short term pain for long term gain is how I see these few weeks.

Zane long term, smh.

Nothing against Zane personally, but he should enjoy these next 2 weeks at the helm.

Lack of a defensive strategy once we got the late-ish lead is what did us in, amongst other things

That's working out really well for the Knoughts isn't it??

Haven't won a game yet and are achieving parallel levels of mediocrity as the Jets do

They are no closer to winning a comp with Supercoach Bennett in charge as they were before Tinks took over and they had Neville Nobodies coaching them.


If there is one thing that can be said about Tinks he puts the money in to achieve success. The choices of staff he employees across both clubs are what lets him down

Achieving parallel levels as the Jets? Even though the Knights were one game from the GF last season...

Yeah and we win our next 3 games and we would be within a game of the grand final.

Doesn't mean we deserve to be there or are likely to win the GF soon.

Might point is that neither club is anywhere near winning a comp despite Tinks millions poured in as the management at both clubs has squandered the fortune Newy found it in

Coaches Newcastle's elite Yoof to 4 goals conceeded every week

Which Yoof players have progressed into the HAL side under his watch??

Supposedly mcBreen was interested in the role, have also seen kew jaliens a lot at training as well

It's the players fault. Zane is a good Coach. Look at his a league record. Can't polish a turd right?

They obviously ain't selecting players with any heart or passion but cocksuckers playing to the Dutch mango sucking KPIs rather than the scoreboard
