Stats bitches!
Are you saying he should not of been sacked?Quote:

Also, I'm still saying that McKinna should be sacked if that makes a difference.
Not saying thatQuote:

Our finishing under him for the last 2 years has been wasteful big time
Defensively we were also honking under Bert
Under Bert it wasn't a case of we were not competitive on the pitch. We were just ineffective in both boxes under him
This made me laughQuote:

We are talking the same Ernie and Roy who is now back for a season and a half after half a season with the Roar, That Roy and Ernie yeh ?.
The same Ernie who was not provided funds to find a replacement for Wes, The same Ernie who was never offered the sort of funds to bring players with a wage demand you can be sure Ibini and Ledley would have commanded to come here ?.
The club got serious the moment Ernie left not a moment before. Ernie was given a Morris Minor budget ( not coupe S ) and told to go win Bathurst with it.
C'mon Stanny i know you are not a dill but that post was so far removed from reality.
You can be sure if there was a bloke standing in the goal decked out in Jets gear Millar would have put that out for a throw in on the opposite side of the park rather than scored a goal.
Put your house on that outcome, Christ he can't pass to save himself.
The same Ernie who refused to get a replacement Assistant coach, The same Ernie who said no to new players coming in (Has it been confirmed what type of players they were?), The same Ernie who wouldnt play Bobby Burns over a CM/CB at LB who was getting rinsed every week, The same Ernie who wouldnt drop certain players who were not performing Dimi etc, The same Ernie who only has one style of play and never deviates even when it doesnt work, Same goes for only using certain players in the squadQuote:

Bert went so far as too say the last player offered to him was a player from another A League club who was yet to make his A League debut.
You said we were hopeless in attack, We were nothing of the sort with plenty of shots in a game. Bert said we needed Roy the club said no. If we were putting away half those chances we would be looking down the ladder now at most team as opposed to looking up.
Bert screwed up heaps but having a team incapable of great attacking football was not one them.
You obviously did not pay enough attention last season and earlier this season. Many games of kick and chase footballQuote:

After sitting through years of shite under Couscous Jones Miller Culina Muppet Stubbins at at least we had a go at teams. Even this season we got stitched up in a few games under Bert where the difference in the scoreboard was how clinical our opponents were and how inefficient we were
FFS that game in Perth I think Perth had 7 shots and 6 goals at one point and we had 2 goals but more shots than them
I assume we lost based on the discussion in here.
I think people are a bit sick of Stanny constantly throwing Ernie under the bus needlessly. We all remember how bad this team can be under an actual bad coach.Quote:

We can only beat what's in front of us. We beat them and kept a clean sheet away from home. We're 6 games undefeated - one off equaling our best ever undefeated stretch. We've got depth on the bench for the first time this year.
I reckon things are looking alright.
Adelaide were decimated with injury. We've all been there. We took advantage of it which I'm all for.
