Newcastle Jets A-League Coaching Records –

• Phil Stubbins - 3 matches (0 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses = 0% win ratio)
• Gary Van Egmond – 7 matches (3 wins, 1 drawn and 3 losses = 43% win ratio)
• Richard Money - No matches
• Branko Culina – 6 matches (1 win, 1 drawn, 1 loss = 33% win ratio)
• Nick Theodorakopoulos - No matches
• Craig Deans - 1 Match (1 win, 0 drawn, 0 losses = 100% win ratio)
• Clayton Zane – 1 match (1 win, 0 drawn, 0 losses = 100% win ratio)

Melbourne City Coach Record – John Van't Schip 45% win ratio (5 wins, 2 drawn, 4 losses)

KEY FACTS:

General

• While the Jets haven't beaten City in Melbourne since 2010/11 Season, their last trip to AAMI park produced a win against the Victory.
• There has never been a scoreless draw between these teams, and only one of the games has had less than 2 goals.
• Melbourne City have scored 9 goals in the last 2 matches against the Jets (2-5 and 0-4)
• When leading at half time, the Jets have never lost. However, the Jets haven't scored a first half goal in the last 4 matches against City.
• The Jets have won 3 of their last 4 away games.

Players

• Lachlan Jackson became the 134th player to make an A-League appearance for the Jets.
• Should he play this week, Mark Birrighitti will equal the number of appearances of Ante Covic.
• A visa player has scored for the Jets in the last 4 away matches.

Coaches

• Scott Miller has equalled the best start to a season by any Jets coach. He is equal with Craig Deans and Gary Van Egmond (v2). A win this weekend will equal the start from 2012/13.

Doomed.
No chance.
Miller out.

Shouldn't the heaviest defeat be the 4-0 loss last time we played them and not the 5-2 loss the time before when we played them???

Our attacking imports look a little heavy

Will be happy with a draw - check out the podcast for further thoughts ;)

yeah, 0-0 will satisfy me, but I think it will be 1-0 to heart.

I was impressed by the structure and organisation of the Jets on the weekend against Victory.

I have decided to support Newy this coming Friday.

JG said on Twitter that Leaky G was training today but Leo was not. However, have since seen photos of both of them from today, so maybe Leo is just on light duties.

Untrue. I was very pleased with the Scott Miller Orchestra's success against Victory. I love Newy. I love David Carney's lack of pigmentation. I love everything about the Jets ... except the lunatic decision to ditch the emerald and cinnamon.
