Just getting in early should Ernie again be playing Hoff at the point of our attack.
Am pleased that both of them read my post realized they were on there final warning and performed accordingly.
Considering Hoffs conversion rate is about 1 in 13 we can now look forward to some normality with him butchering the next dozen sitters to come his way.
Some questions have to be asked of his performance
Bizarre selections
Players out of position
Failure to change the starting side
Recruitment
Not going so well
In addition unless Ernie starts reflecting on his own performance he runs the real risk of losing half the dressing room. We have a few key blokes busting there ass week after week putting in satisfactory efforts only to be let down by the coach.
How long til that starts reflecting in there efforts on the park.
Ernie came over with the players after the game to shake the fans hands.
Plague jnr told him "dont worry ernie we'll start winning soon".
Ernie looked like he was ready to kill the little smart ass
Last 20 mins it looked like Vargas had had a gutful and dropped back into a #6 role to try and get things going.
Not sure if it was ernie's instruction though because Vargas was pointing Cowburn and Ridenton away from him as if to say 'go away I'm playing here'.
Vargas stood away from all of them post game for a few good minutes.
Just watched the post match presser - Ernie very disappointed with the effort of players more so than the result. No arguments here - the players looked like they didn't want to be out there .
I wouldn't worry abut Ernie losing the dressing room - they can sack the lot of them based in that sort of effort.
Hard to imagine Vargas wanting to hang around - he looked more pissed off than Ernie did with the team. The service tonight was terrible.
Vargas in sky blue next year
That was exactly my point. At some stage the goers were going to start having a gutful of sharing the field with only those that Ernie rates. I reckon Ernie having Ronnie at 9 tonight had a massive negative influence on the players. I also reckon some players must be asking themselves WTF in re Jackson being picked each week.
All these numptie decisions Ernie has made since the very first round have just chipped away at some of the players minds.
Bump
If he isnt going to drop Jair and Ridenten or try different tactics/formations then bye bye Ernie at seasons end
can someone text la bazzle to text his mate Deans to get his clipboard ready.
its time.
surely ernie has to have a good long think about some of his team selections now. chalk and cheese last night.
i do acknowledge that perth or sydney would probably have put a few more past us if we'd played them last night.
Not about the personnel....it was about the way we played. Hopefully the "stars" watching in the stands got a good view and took note.....let them have the ball, wait for a mistake and break quickly on the counter.
Pace and quick ball movement........that’s what we had last year, that’s what we had last night.
Got to go
Useless
should have had Vargas and Shep on at the 30min mark. we were bossing them.
yet we wait til 3-0 down?
I am no Ridenton fan but seriously he was far better than Uga tonight and i thought Ernie got it all wrong with that sub. I thought Uga would have gone close to being the Gypo's best player tonight.
huh?
Ugaboogaman and Ridenton were just fine.
they are the least of your problems.
Uga was sadly off form tonight
What you been smoking Plague
Ugabooga was honking tonight
Cowburn was going well in the first half but the pair of them lost the plot for us for about 25 mins and it cost us the game
Ugabooga is a problem. By now he should be able to do the job in the centre of the park without Kanta
Problem is as soon as Kanta dont play he is poor
Ernie has to go. Recruitment has been piss poor and the less said about the teams performances the better.
His only defence could have been if we made the finals. We didn't, we have to aspire to more and i think we should look elsewhere.
That said, if he's signed up for another season i can't see him being fired if the owner is short if cash.
Lets be real, name a better Australian coach for us?
Low budget, shit ~20 players and a couple who are good but lazy.
Did we play a back 5 again?
Phil Stubbins is the answer to why not.
Mark Jones is another answer.
So they club is obviously at a stand still right now. We aren't looking for new players, just resigning everyone we already have no matter how bad they've been. I can't see us keeping all these shit players and then sacking the coach.
We need to get our of this thread and into the Lawrie out thread. He's the problem with our club right now.
