So basically the ugly chick with low self esteem has turned us down so we might as well hit on Sports Illustrated Models. Because that's about how ridiculous it is to talk about getting a new coach. It's simply not going to happen. The clubs ****ed, nothing has changed, nothing will change, the Jets are headed for another wooden spoon.Quote:

Well whose to say we wont in january? We need to get there first, and by the looks of it we'll be trying to lure players to play for the team coming 10th with a sh*t coach. So Miller made this bed, we're all laying in it.Quote:

If you believe that the club would be in the same position (literally and figuratively) if Miller was still around, then I don't know what to tell you.Quote:

Beat me to it. And to whoever used Hoole to suggest Jones is basically hamstrung with all Miller's 'shit signings' is absolutely kidding themselves.Quote:

His goal scoring prowess
His constant turning in the same direction
His lack of forward running off the ball
??
Exactly what about him makes him a good signing??
Because to me he was a much more effective player 2 years ago than now
Point still stands what support has Jones had from Ledman ? ?
A couple of bargain basement signings in an untried kid and an over the hill Fyfe
FFS people think I am overly critical but Jones is trying to Polish some other clowns turd here with nothing from above in support
As I said 90% of this squad Millertime gave the gig to
Same like who gave Poljak a two year deal
Same bloke resigned Kanta who let's face it has done **** all the last few years to warrant a contract extension
Same bloke signed Nortstand when it is pretty evident he is getting old quickly
Millertime made so many shit decisions yet you happy to pass up the responsibility he faces and blame the poor sod stuck taking the reigns of this ongoing cluster****
I'll hold my judgement on Jones until he has players back on deck. The reality is with the fit players in this squad right now i doubt that any managercould conjur wins.
In saying that, I am concerned that Jones is not gettin the ost out of what he has and that he seems (to me and many others here) to not be using what he has effectively. No No Good and Haircut Hoole are painful to watch. Our passing is inaccurate and our first touch poor. Clut is seemingly on the outer.
Poistives for me. Duncan getting better. Kamboulis is raw and making important errors but he is getting better.
Am willing to back Jones for a bit longer.....but not too much if he can't improve things.
That was the worst game of Football I have ever witnessed.
Can't believe I wasted my Sunday afternoon on that garbage!
Con was a joke.Quote:

but whats a new coach going to do when your only 2 centre backs are 34+ been playing state league for 3 years and an 18 year old kid thrown in the deep endQuote:

Why isn't the team playing with any heart? Why didn't fire up when Kokko got clocked in the jaw by a Mariner no less?Quote:

Decent $? I guarantee you Brennan, Coops & Pav are not on decent $. And would you like us to put all our eggs in one basket and throw all our money at one guy and then have no $ left to sign players.... kind of like now...Quote:

Also. Agreed on Hoole. The only reason he gets 90 minutes every week is because he never puts enough effort in to be tired by the 70th minute.
Ma didn't offer a great deal in his first start, but at least he literally ran his ass off until he couldnt run anymore.
Nortstand in my opinion is over the hill.Quote:

I think the club and Millertime misjudged his fitness level
As a result have made a dud buy
Nabbout has shown something which is missing from the rest of his teammates.
He actually plays direct and doesn't give a **** about GVES keep ball ad nauseum shit his teammates are afflicted by
Injury though has ****ed him twice this season already
Ugarkovic is struggling as the rest of the ****s about round him are shit.
No one up front is capable of holding the pill so who the **** can he pass it too
His colleagues in DM are worse at breaking up play than him.
So he does way too much running in defence
He is struggling due to quality of the ****s around him.
As for Brown being much chop??
People are having a laugh.
The biggest joke this club has inflicted on Members this season was really signing this bloke on the back of 3-4 games.
Since then he has done nothing and is ineffectual.
Let's face it if he was any good he would be making a living in the British lower leagues but is instead over here sucking the mango as they don't want him
I will go as far as Millertime had a better side last year
Milos Carney Alivodic Leonardo
Offered much more than
Kokko
Hoole Brown Nabbout
Point is Millertimes signings are arguably much worse this season as he has assembled a poorer quality squad and failed to address some glaring issues within the squad
The other issue with Brown is that he started him in the 10, he provided a goal threat and looked handy around the box, but quickly realised our DMs and defenders cant pass, and we have noone to hold up the ball, so Brown was not involved.
So he then moved him back to get him involved in the play more, but he then has no forward options to play as Hoole never looks to get in behind as all he does is drift in field and lose the ball. So thus Brown has become frustrated and useless.
I can't agree with MFKS about Koko. He's got a lot of talent and anyone that can continue playing with a fractured jaw is a true competitor in anyone's language.
Interesting comments by MFKS about Ugarkovic and how those around him make him look bad.
And yet Wayne Brown is surrounded by the same players and not afforded the luxury of the very same excuse.
What talent has Kokko got??Quote:

So exactly what has he offered so far??
Not a hell of a lot of positives.
Takes balls to play with a broken jaw?? That the only thing he can hang his hat on.
As for Brown I going to call it.
The bloke is a English player who had his shot at the big time not work out as he just wasn't good enough. He isn't physically big enough to cut it in the lower leagues and make a career out if it in Britain.
Instead his agent finds some dumb **** club and let's him sucking the mango as a pro footballer for a few more years.
We just the dumb ****s who pay the tab
I just don't rate him. Couple of flashy goals mean **** all to me. Thete ain't much to the rest of his game that makes me think we have a great player on our hands. We have just wasted our foreigner spot on this bloke for 3 years for no reason
So you agreed Nabbout has been good, and that Nordstrand & Ugarkovic have suffered this season... but you criticize Miller's signings and refuse to hold Jones accountable for anything. You complain about Kokko because he didn't score twice when he should have, but claim that Brown has done nothing but score a couple of goals.Quote:

How good is it having the Member back on deck. Place was not the same without him.
This place was so much nicer without The Member.
We should make a play for ernie merrick to become our manager!?!Quote:

Let's put it that way:
I don't think Kokko will turn out to be a Fornaroli, Brown a Castro, Nordstrand a Brandan, Hoole a Rojas, Nabbout a BenKhalfala..... etc etc... Cowburn and Vujica are no Elrich.... Boogs and Mullen are no Wilkinson....
Poljack and Kanta are no...things ...and then we've got Hoffman!....:lulzturtle:
So you're saying he's perfect for our club then?Quote:

Ernie has at least won something in his life.
Aloisi couldn't win a game at Heart now he's flying
Maybe Jones should try his luck elsewhere (without the security of his mates backing him)
Just saw this in relation to our NFL named counterparts.

How many orders have been taken so far?Quote:
