Was actually upset that Heart didn't score more. They were inept also and it says a lot that they scored 5 yet rarely pushed or tried for the ten that were on offer
Bit harsh for the second goal memberQuote:

I was talking to Birazz last week and he implied to me that he was told to look elsewhere as his services were no longer required.Quote:

Also great save in the second half to parry a shot straight back to the penalty spot. Surprisingly it Didn't end up in the net cause that is where shit like that deserves to :whistling:
It's a shame we are so shit because Montano is an absolute beast, if he were in a team that were actually decent he would have a ton of goals by now.
He stopped then kept on coming. I reckon if he had come full boar, he may have got to it.Quote:

I see the forum as a comforting blanket, a warm bosum or perhaps an internet version of the foetal position.
Tiring - Birraz is leaving in January and will probably never play for the Jest again. Even allowing for one or two judgement errors, BK still doesn't look like the flapping cat on a hot tin roof Birraz became.Quote:

And he has yet to concede a "howler".
Keeper tends to be number one topic when you have the worst defense in the comp.Would rather winge about all the goals our forwards keep missing.
Time to promote the Jaffas.
BK is pathetic. But so are the 10 guys in front of him. Should bring back Biraz, he had cooler hair.
HSG can't afford any more mirrors !Quote:

BK failed in the basics of goalkeeping and made it easy for a player of Korens talent.
Seriously bud, the whole team was diabolical. How about we talk about caravella's need to pass backwards when he has other options or even despite trying hard, hoole's desperate need to flop every time he is confronted rather than going in with the play.Quote:

If we had the majority of possession in their half, then I would agree with you, but we didn't. We just held it in our own half and hoped for the best.Quote:

Just saw the highlights.
I have BK at fault for all 5 Heart goals as well as both the Jets ones.
7 goals in one game is a disgrace.
BK out.
So you bag me about using percentages in my argument then go right ahead and use percentages in your own.Quote:

Wasn't bagging out your using percentages, just pointing out that the possession stat didn't mean much if the majority of our possession was in our own half.Quote:

I also did like how Jeronimo decided to artificially boost our shots at goal stat by shooting from kickoff in a vain attempt to catch Tando out
The difference being is that City played the correct tactic against us, sit and wait for the inevitable **** up and ineptitude of our defendersQuote:

I blame terry venables.
Until end of 15/16.Quote:

snake - that crowd was pretty similar to the other crowds we've had this year, that all were stated around that 9-10k mark. I think the Western Stand is deceiving and has more people in it that it looks, because the hills aren't exactly packed and the SunStand (aka Eastern) has a lot of seats.
Would like to put my opinion on 2 topics. 1 - Who I'd retain at the club from last nights squad. 2 - How/who I'd play based on who is currently on the books at the club.
Last night.
BK - gone
Neville - give a chance
Madaschi - gone
Welsh - gone
Hoole - give a chance
Virgili - gone
Kantarovski - gone
Caravella - give chance
Carney - give chance
Griffiths - keep
Montano - keep
Bench
Birra - gone
Kew - give chance
Neumann - keep
Pepper - keep
I'm happy to explain a couple of those above that draw strong opinions. Caravella, in a decent footballing side (which we would welcome) is an asset as his work rate and ability to keep the ball moving is very good. Yes, he does go backward and sideways too much but we are incorrectly expecting him to be a creator in this shambolic setup. It's not his game. Carney I think could be massive for this club if he wants to be here! His versatility and quality on the ball would be important in a decent side footballing side (again assuming). Kew - many love him but take the blinkers off and watch his positional play, sometimes its nothing short of awful. I think he has become a favourite here maybe because of a distinct lack of others for fans to gravitate to. Kantarovski - I've pushed him out the door because I think he needs it. I nearly wrote "kid" there and there lays the problem, he's not a kid anymore and his game hasn't gone to the next level and a change may be all he needs to fulfil his potential.
Provided fit, the 4231 for next game assuming all fit;
Scolari
Neville. Kanta. Kew. Carney.
Pepper. Caravella
Neumann Flores Griffiths
Montano
The only pair that gave me anything to think about were Celeski and Hoole.
Thoughts anyone?
Solari is terrible. If he started yesterday, it would have been double figures on 1 side of the scoreboard
I'll second that. You think Biraz is bad in the air, wait until you see Scolari.
Just fold the club
Can't believe Stubbins used the "short turn around" excuse..... Sorry should say CAN believe he used that excuse..... Was more expecting the hot conditions excuse, but then it was also hot for city......
and then we can all join the RBBQuote:

Short turn around? Team off the pace? Deal with it Phil!!!! Other managers did!!!!
Simply put, City had obviously watched the videos of our last two games (if we don't have a VCR I can dig one up) and tore us apart in the first 10 minutes down the flanks. Blind Phil should have acted then and reverted to a back 4, hauling the Virgin off and getting Kew on the field. That would have created
BK
Neville Kew Dash Training cone Welsh
Carney Kanta Roundabout Hoole
Griff Beast
But no. Phil did NOTHING.
My team for Smurfs
BK
Neville Kew Dash Pepper
Carney Kanta Hoole
Flores
Beast Jeronimo
If Flores isn't fit enough use Roundabout or Griff when he runs out of steam
I really think Pepper is not the answer at left back but he will give his all and is better than Gallagher, Galloway and Welsh. Do we have a youth player worth blooding here? After all, the season is gone.
Cowburn?
