Season half over.
1 win. Wouldn't cut it in any other league in the world.
It's time for Phil to go.
I'm fully on board now gtfo stubbsy
I'm even more confident now that Stubbins has to go.
Realistically, you bring in a coach to do one of two things:
1) win in the short-term (one season) and bring some glory back to the club
2) bring an overall idealogy/goal/system, but still be competitive in the short-term (like what Ange originally did at Roar and MV)
So we look at how Stubbins has done since he has come in:
Win short-term - absolutely fxxxing not
Have a noticable plan/ideology//goal/system that is evident, and you can feel will reap rewards - absolutely fxxxing not
His player recruitment was mostly older players, or Montano is a one-season loan. Granted, the side probably did need an influx of older heads, but signing older players indicates that you're planning for the short-term moreso than the long-term.
The fact that we won against Adelaide was the absolute killer. We didn't deserve that victory, we were so lucky we didn't concede countless more goals. And what the issue with that win was, it gave what felt like a bandaid fix to the situation. So Stubbins thinks that this 3 at the back, with wide midfielders not used to defensive work, is a grand idea because he knocked off the pissants on a day where they were severely unlucky not to score more. And he thinks that should work from now on. Rather than actually utilise a system which is sustainable.
The fact that he changed the formation, what, 4 times last night spoke very loudly to me. I once had a coach who told me a good way to judge a coach is to see how many formation changes he makes. And I'm judging Phil as a poor coach.
So we have a coach who has got us 1 win out of 13 season games. We have played zero games, home or away, where the team was convincing, and deserved to win. We have played zero games, home or away, where the team has looked the better team of the two. We have played zero games at home where the crowd has been excited.
Time for Stubbins to be removed. I don't have the answers as to whether his contract states he gets a pay-out for being sacked, I don't know if he has KPI's set in his contract (but after the GVE debacle, I fail to see how Jerks management wouldn't put that in any new coaches contract!) - but he needs to go.

Time for Zads Lads to become Clackas Knackas and start a petition. Anything better than Stubbsy
Are the Zads Lads now the Carneys Crew, or is that a whole different bunch?
It's just that I saw a poorly-done sign, barely anyone standing near it, and just figured it was them. Quacks like a duck, innit.
Considering everyone they've supported has ****ed off, maybe they can start going through our whole team
On Twitter this morning
@robertdillon174: There is a rumour circulating that @NewcastleJetsFC have sacked Phil Stubbins. I called CEO Robbie Middleby and he says it's NOT TRUE.
Stubbins' mantra at the start of the season was creating a hardworking team environment. He has failed miserably with this. It has taken until rd whatever this is to get a team that isn't dying of exhaustion after 60 min, something that should be covered in preseason.
Game day hard work seems barely existent too, especially from our fearless leader as he slouches on his bunnings chair like a uni student at a boring lecture. Our midfield is near non-existent. Everyone faps over caravella working hard but are very misguided. His legs move very fast going nowhere and when he does go on one of his little dashes forward to pressure the opposition Centrebacks i can hear kanta's groans as he is left with 3 to mark in the middle.
Anyway I've kinda gone off topic. STUBBINS OUT
The solution is obvious.
We can't sack him, so make him the kit man.
ANDO IN!
