So about 16 degrees cooler than here then.
Jets now 1 point off 9th, taking on the 2nd place team. How quickly times can change. Hey Member, where is your god Jones now?
Can't wait for him to be sacked when we finish below the NPL Mariners.
Muscat reckons we have no fans ;) http://www.theherald.com.au/story/44...sphere/?cs=306
Jones doesn't want Nabbout to play against the Tards like Hoole does when we play Shitney... http://www.theherald.com.au/story/44...-club/?cs=2439
I don't think its just the fans - the stadium at the moment has no soul or atmosphere no matter what is on or how many people are there.
Looking forward to this. I feel in my waters that Nabbout, Sugar and Brown will destroy Victory.
is it just me or does anyone else think brown hasn't done much since about round 2
He started really well, there's no doubt. He was pretty good against Adelaide, when we won at the death as well. He's certainly been shifted around to accomodate absences in the team too.
I think he will start this week and it will be interesting the see if the direct counter attacking play and vision provided by Leilei is reproduced with him in the team.
This will be a tough period for Jones where we will get to see exactly what he is made of. Lose tonight and we then have to back up in 4 days against an Adelaide who will be stinging. Then 2 fixtures against the Mariners who are flying and Sydney still to come.
The Jets are currently in 7th place playing the team that's coming 2nd and you are implying that Jones is a failure if the Jets don't win ? Ridiculous.
Then compare the budgets of the two teams - even more ridiculous.
Then look at Perth who smashed Adelaide 5-0 and yet only beat the Jets 3-2 and the Jets also had a chance or two to win the match and Adelaide didn't.
There is absolutely no logic to your posts these days. What happened ?
You are implying that Jones needs to beat Melbourne or he's not good enough.
Based on form I think the Jets are a chance against Melbourne but if the defence falls asleep they could get punished. A draw would be a good result.
Adelaide the Jets should be expected to beat, and they should also be able to roll the Mariners as well.
Hence, I'll be blowing up deluxe if we fail to win against Adelaide and the Mariners. The Melbourne game, I'm not expecting to win.
Sydney - We have no chance against.
He is praised often and he is loved deeply among Victory fans, but I think Broxham at left back is their weakness. He's had a few poor games there, but no one (Melbourne fans, commentators) seems to be pointing this out.
I hope Jets staff are aware of this, and analyse opponents' games. Sometimes I wonder, though.
I think you are reading the wrong post if you came to that conclusion...
I read it as "this is a period for Jones to show us how good a coach he is/can be. He has a game against 2nd place Melbourne, a game 4 days later against Adelaide who are reeling from a massive loss and then two derby fixtures against the scum and a trip to Sydney". How does that go close to implying "If he doesn't win tonight, he's not good enough"?
Seriously now you are just making up what you want to hear now. Feel free to correct anything I said that was inaccurate, but don't make out that I am implying anything. I didn't even mention MV other than pointing out that our upcoming games will be tough ifwe lose. Which I described it as a tough period coming up. You have the wrong end of the stick here.
I don't think anyone is expecting the Jets to win. But if they lose then Jones has what should be a relatively easier draw than our opposition. 4 out of 7 games against the bottom 3. There should be no excuses.
[edit - should read 4 out of 8 games against the bottom 3]
Kokko in for Clut. Cant argue with that Clut has done nothing for weeks
Mullen at LB again...
Edit: mullen at rb!
Fox mentioned about five times so far that Leilei is probably going to get snapped up by Liaoning
High time the betting companies had a market on the amount of times Raheem Sterling hits the ground each game
Hoole has been fantastic again tonight.
now im not going to put words in his mouth because im sure my good man The Member is surrounded by his beloved TV's at the moment, but Poljak is playing the type of game tonight that the Member wants our centre mids to play (except for a few poor final balls).
but this is not him sticking a foot in and running aimlessly. he's controlling things, and i think thats what the Member was getting at.
We're playing well, but the connection between mid and forward is still lacking. We haven't really looked like we'll score.
I understand we not winning but that was good shit from us the first half
Poljak and Stevie U are controlling the midfield
As a result our back 4 are pretty comfortable so much so Boogaard has a ****ing gypsy in his back pocket
The football has the right intent and we are having a ****ing go.
The only thing holding us back is a bit of class in the front half
Even with the squad shortcomings we have this is showing Jones has us on the right track
Where we struggling at the moment is belief in winning
That will come in time as our club gets used to not being shit all the time
Onwards and upwards and bring on the second half
More of the same with a few goals for the blokes in blue and gold tonight
I'm surprised Cockerill is able to speak so clearly with rojas's dick in his mouth
The Hoff has been good tonight.
Late pen/cock up gonna kill us again though. you know its coming
Commentators going through all the stages of grief because Victory aren't winning by 5 yet.
Hoole's been good. Tame effort there though.
We're certainly creating the chances now, but with all of the near misses, I can just see besart popping up in the 95th minute to convert their one real chance and winning the game.
If only Leilei was half as good at dead-ball situations as everyone keeps telling us he is.
Wait, which one are you plague?
Jones has done some good things with the team this year but his lack of use of the bench still baffles me.
