Pyramids were built quicker than it has taken us to rebuild after winning the GF, ffs.Quote:

Adopt a similar gameplan to the wanderers dare I say, stay compact and solid in defence, break quickly with the aim of getting in behind the fullbacks. They also crowd areas forcing opposition players into long switches which they pounce on if ill directed. Zane basically had us playing the 442 version of it last season. I'd go with
Birras
Nev. kew. Dash. Gallagher
Celeski. Kanta
Hoole. Griff. Carns
Monty
Ps. Not saying we have to play as dour as they play, just set up similarily
Hmm....Quote:

Give us 1 game of that pls.
That's a decent line-up. No-one other than defenders really weak on the ball, maybe Nuemann and Hoole have a few stray passes in them. Gallagher won't overlap Carney so we won't be caught out there. Neville and Hoole can interchange.Quote:

The only thing i like different to what you have PV4 is maybe play 4-1-2-2-1 and let Griff drop deep to get the ball as well as Flores, let Nuemann drag defenders wide and play off the shoulder. If Griff then wants to join him up front we are 2 on 2 in attack with a little pace and Flores ability to pick out a pass.
True, quicker ball movement then, doesn't have to be leg speed although it obviously helpsQuote:

Even if you're playing poorly, anyone can score from a goal mouth scramble if you can get the ball in there and have a bit of luck.
I don't think Jeronimo and griff can play together up front, they both play the same style, trying to get in behind whereas montano likes to come for the ball and hold it up.
In the game Jeronimo started besides the goal he was shit, didn't come for the ball once. Love PV4s lineup but I would swap montano for Jeronimo.
Unless you have Hoole and Carney playing narrow, that means one man in the middle. Absolute destruction.Quote:

it's actually embarrassing. up until the roar game i didn't really have an opinion on stubbins either way, but now i think he's clearly out of his depth and has to go.
I like PV4's line-up too, with the team we have that's the best we can hope for. As for Phil....... I was hesitant when wr signed him as he's not exactly the guy on anyones radar, but now that he's spomen and shoen what he can do, I'm afraid that my girls will never know a winning mentality in Newy.
Too many excuses, not enough arse kicking and too much putting players and laughable line-ups together. I'd send him to hang out with Theo alla season two and give miron a call. We need someone who has proven credentials and charisma.
Isn't Welsh a centre half?Quote:

Should have interviewed griff. Would have been more entertaining
To be honest I couldn't really give a shite what hutcho has to say and I think stubbins was the same. Hutcho will be without his minder (Montgomery) this Sunday so I'd rather see our response to his comments shown against him on the pitch rather than in some chit chat during the week. The way I see it, our club has the potential to be one of the better in the comp under the right ownership. His beloved club only has the potential to be moved to north Sydney or somewhere else in the future. As the years roll by I have no doubt who's the better club will beQuote:

stubbins should have just called him a tuna eating keyunt and got on with it
**** hutcho, but he is the rivalry ffs
i'll clap the bloke when he retires (****)
legit only reason i care about this stupid league
he's 100% right too

Having said that, the league is only ten years old, it's all manufactured.
That's what I thought too, but he's still a wanker.Quote:

FFA can you guys take some action plz
Until we get new owners, all the player and Stubbins are here to stay. No money to pay out contracts, so we are stuck with this rubbish for a while yet.
More of a chance to turn it around, some might say. :gent:Quote:

That is probably a better way of looking at it. The reality is that Stubbins hasn't been too impressive, but he doesn't have a great deal to work with imo.Quote:

Epic failure on all fronts from Stubbins
I'm with the member. there is absolutely nothing wrong with our squad except coaching and fitness.
Stubbins is the problem but he isn't going anywhere (like the team).
Wasn't this the guy Adelaide fans wanted for their team? Those thoughts are long gone for those pricks!
As much as I think Stubbins is out of his depth I think those that hired him should be the first to go.
Time after time the powers that be have appointed the wrong people. Until those clowns go we have no hope of success.
Clowns are like they are because of direction from the top. Whole organisation is rotten to the core and nothing will change till Stinkler is gone. Once he ****s off and the decisions are made for football and not dollars, don't expect anything to improve or anyone to be accountable for constant **** ups.Quote:

The fault for that may lie with Stubbins and his recruitment, but it's more likely to do with the overall situation at the club.Quote:

They went 1-3-4 in the opening games... the difference (apart from the win) is you could see some semblance of what Gombau was trying to implement. What the **** is Stubbins trying to implement here?Quote:
