NBN, no audio, but report said Arroyo has done a hammy and could be out for a month, Shep is a chance to return (they considered that a positive so I assume they didn't watch him in pre-season), and McGree is supposed to out - we really will need a miracle now not to get torn a new one by the Barrel Boys...

Hoff has re-signed until the end of the 21/22 season.
Has there been an update on wesi lately that i have missed or does his progress remain top secret away from the supporters ?.
Be nice for a update Laurie !!!!!!!!!.

With no news from the club on Wesi and a lot put on Dimi shoulders in the creative dept and without being all over the new rules re transfers now and Jan fast approaching is it worth sounding out Caceres. Getting bugger all game time at Sydney and could take some of the load off Dimi.
See i don't hate all Gypo's Jetkel just those like Fitzuseless who after 3 dozen clubs in the league have no ability at all, Which in truth is 99.9% of them.
A) why would he take a huge paycut to come here and fight for 7th? We can't afford his current wages and he probably doesn't deserve them anyway.
B) we have enough Gypo trash here. Just sign Hutcho and put us out of our misery.
C) if we really wanted to improve our on field performance, we need to be investing in the right areas.... Jets Shaped Hats!!!!
NBN review of the game, possibility Arroyo may be out for two months

The Newcastle Jets’ goal-scoring woes continued in Adelaide last night, with the visitors beaten 2-1 by the Reds, despite producing almost three times as many shots.
To make matters worse, striker Arroyo’s hamstring injury could keep him sidelined for up to eight weeks.

A-League: Jets look at loan deal in bid to spark attack

THE Newcastle Jets will explore signing a striker on loan from a rival A-League club during the transfer window in a bid to end the club's goal-scoring woes.
A hamstring injury to Abdiel Arroyo, which will sideline the Panamanian for up to two months, has further depleted the Jets' already thin attacking stocks.
Former Ireland international Wes Hoolahan (ankle) is at least a month away from a return. Kaine Sheppard played 10 minutes in the 2-1 loss to Adelaide on Sunday in his first game back from a three-month lay-off and was clearly underdone.
The Jets created enough gilt-edge chances against Adelaide to win three games, but lacked a cutting edge.
It has been the story of their campaign, which has yielded eight goals in seven games and incredibly only four from open play.
"We have done more than enough to wins games but we just don't finish things off," a frustrated Merrick said after the Jets fired 31 shots to Adelaide's 13 at Coopers Stadium on Sunday night.
"To be perfectly honest we just need a goal-scorer, a finisher during open play."
McKinna said the Jets have funds, which had been set aside for a possible return by Joey Champness, and would look at all options in January.
"It is about getting somebody who can come in and be up to the level," McKinna said.
"Maybe, we will look at a loan player - a young player from another club. We will look at that and present who is available to Ernie. There will be a few but they won't be household names. They will be fringe players but they have to be better than we have available in the youth team."
The A-League opened the door last season for clubs to loan players from their rivals.
Danny De Silva spent the season at Sydney FC before returning to the Mariners this campaign.
"You never know, there might be someone in the January window who pops up," Merrrick said.
"We do a lot of work on the front third, on our passing and creating goal-scoring opportunities. The boys are all doing that well. It's just the final touch. We are doing a lot of things right. It's seven games for us into 26 rounds and then finals. We are on track to be a very good team but we need to start finishing in open play and scoring goals."
Champness, who gave up a two-year contract extension to pursue a rap career in the US, has been back in Australia but at this point is still focused on music.
Teenager Angus Thurgate has scored two goals in three games as a makeshift striker and along with Nick Fitzgerald, Dimi Petratos and Hoffman had a raft of chances against the Reds.
Thurgate had a shot blocked on the line, Fitzgerald hit the woodwork as did Steven Ugarkovic.
"We have players in the right position, we get shots off, sometimes the opposition keeper wins man of the match ... we are doing a lot of things right."
Adelaide coach Gertjan Verbeek, though happy with the result, said the Reds had "stolen" three points.
Former Socceroo James Troisi produced a flash of brilliance to score the decisive goal with seven minutes.
"James Troisi popped up at the right time," Merrick said.
"That is the difference. That has been the difference in five games for us. We have won two, drawn two and lost three.
"We hit the bar twice... it was one of those games but we seem to keep doing it."
Actually a few of the above points may have arisen from Ernie's presser:

Ernie states we don't have funds to bring anyone in, so I assume Lawrie's comments we may have relate to that.
Bless this team.Quote:

So there is absolutely no one, not one single player in the youth set up that can come in and change things up front?
there are no strikers in the youth team at all? none? not one? not one that can give us one half of football to at least see what we've got?
i mean, we are desperate, we have no cash, and the only option are other shit teams players who are too shit to get a start for another shit team.
Wonder how many royboy would of banged in by now if Lord gypo knew what he was doing 🤔
Can just see it now my second worst nightmare. Wasn't Blackwood being shopped around just recently by Adelaide ?.
