yeah but you realise that he had his best run straight away.

so if the pre-season was a shambles why did he go good early doors?

not like there was a steady incline as he worked his magic was there?

If Miller says "in terms of" again I will hunt him down and shove his loafers in his mouth.

Never a great loser. Yes. Annoyed and injured.

Various reasons.

Squad depth was challenged earlier than what Miller and JP would have hoped for. Labi out. Leo getting injured. As soon as we had Leo return to the team on a more consistent basis and January windo opened.. The results picked back up.

Not rocket science.

Well I'm no rocket scientist but why did he then get rid of the bloke who was fundamental to his success?

Injury prone has been not working hard enough off the ball for where he wants to take the squad this season.

Just a hunch from another non astronautical engineer

As an actual astronautical engineer, I'm not qualified to comment on how we played like we did at various times last season.

??

I thought we parked the bus and mugged teams early on as they struggled to find their form

Once they got their act together we were found out

Millertime persisted with his park the bus plan until he had no other choice.

Then the handbrake came off and we started to have a go

The signings of Nobby and Stevie U helped but let's not forget we had Leaky G and DevonHead at the start of the season so it ain't like our squad depth was any greater at the back of the season as it was at kick off time

Had a chuckle to myself last week at the Kotara Forum when in reference to a former striker being off-side quite a lot, McKinna mentioned how Miller was real big on analysing and stats.
They seemed to have a little laugh about the whole thing as if it was some inside joke....maybe they do check out comments on here! :rof:

This is why we are friends Plague.

I can just picture one of Mr Lee's translators looking at Lawrie's blank expression and scribbling down a little picture to explain things to him.

i imagine it the other way

1. Plague says thing on foz
2. 'Foz user X' offers a very poor understanding and opinion on it.
3. Gypo assistant reads post
4. Gypo assistant assists Gypo in understanding.
5. Gypo relates post to Mr Lee's translator.
6. Mr Lee is convinced Dani Alves is an overall more effective player than Iniesta and Xavi.
7. Mr Lee hates Plague.






well, looks like we got the result we were after huh.

The name 'Plague' is more of a persona rather than a real person so the forum user behind it would sometimes acknowledge that either intentionally or inadvertently.

That's not very obvious. Kudos to you for realising this point.

So you saying Plague is in fact a multi??

But instead of one person having multiple accounts we are through the looking glass where multiple people operate the one account??

Yes.
Just don't tell Plague that.
He's a bit fragile at present.

Whooaa

Blown away

So bloke has failed to beat the ****ing useless GYPO SCUM twice in pre season


Days are numbered with this shit

While it's frustrating, I couldn't give a f*ck if we lose to the gypos in preseason.
I care what the result is when there are points up for grabs.

However to get this back on topic, I think that the club will give Scott until Christmas to prove he should get a contract extension. If not, they will install their own choice.

doesnt matter its only a trial against struggling team. We'll be undefeated when the real stuff kicks off cause playing for points makes us heaps better

It's bad enough that we even play the gypos in pre-season let alone losing to a team without a coach.

See Furns that's where this club falls down

It is the couldn't give a **** attitude amongst the coaching department fans and admin that lets us all down

Losing to these ****ers in the coin toss shouldn't be accepted
Losing in a game shouldn't be accepted
Losing in pre season is still not an excuse

FFS they got tossed out of the Cup by an NPL side and they just sacked their coach and have an interim ****wit in charge.

Losing is not acceptable to these ****wits

Damn frustrating I agree but we went into these games with zero recognised strikers!

Noddy - injured
Labi - injured
kok - not here yet.

Anyone any idea on the time frame for Noddy and Labi? Clearly our new striker is here as of this week.

Having some firepower up front and playing brown in behind could dramatically change the outcome.

No Boogs either so I guess that saves us a send off.

Prepared to give him to the start of the season to start to really get things in shape but if he starts talking about "work in progress" and 2nd half of the season and stuff I will be less impressed.

Kyle Chalmers's pre-Olympic form meant diddly.
So does our pre-season.

Focusing on winning meaningless games and ignoring the bigger picture - you know, "competition points" - geez that plan sounds brilliant.

Yeah sure we want to beat the Gypos everytime we play them but whether it's Jaffas U/14C's or Man U, pre-season games are about looking at new players in the squad, experimenting with players in different positions and playing different combinations/formations so that come round 1 the coach is confident he is putting out his best starting XI and that the players themselves know what is expected of them.
Come round 7 and it looks like the players are still clueless and unsure of what their roles are as a unit then.....we have a problem.

look at the bright side. scum are now crowing like they are world beaters, can't wait till round one when they get smacked off the park and have to face reality they really are too s'hit to be in the league, will just strengthen the Gong's cause... ;)

Worked well for Muppet when we were unable to win games in Pre Season

Just carried in into the season

I think your being ridiculously optimistic.

This isn't Barcelona getting beaten by Liverpool knowing they are able to let Iniesta and Neymar loose in the future and that Messi and Suarez will find form

We are still one of the least talented teams in the League.

Ain't gone turn our blokes into World beaters just because the points are on offer.

Didn't know you had a crystal ball Stopper2.....:tongue:

while you lot are all foreseeing the future so clearly here - albeit the pessimist's version - come up with a useful bit of foresight and give us all the f'n lotto numbers thanks, otherwise I for one aint gonna believe your doom and gloom predictions are anything more than off-season keyboard warrior boredom... :deadhorse:

No it isn't but we went into all 3 pre-season games so far without a single recognised striker. Brown in make shift role, 3 main strikers either injured or not here yet. Also first choice centre back not yet playing.

That is pretty significant. None of them are Messi or Suarez sure but we aren't playing against Chelsea or Madrid either.

I think any A-League team would struggle without their 3 first choice strikers and first choice centre back. Depth isn't there for any team to cope with that well.

Time will tell however.

It'll all smooth over once the Clown gets here.

Don't agree with this logic at all.

Melbourne Victory or the Wanderers would not be happy losing a game to the Mariners even if it was in pre-season. It just shows a lack of a winning mentality and a poor all-round attitude to brush off these types of results as "meaningless".

Of course we don't get any points out of a game like this but winning is winning, especially when it's against not only a local rival but a team without a coach.

Don't worry the coach said he was happy with the effort despite the 1-2 loss....:brrr:
