I hate to be writing this but... drop Dimi.
He's slowing down the attack to the point where his stats are quite useless: his shots are blocked because the opposition has all the time to put 3/4 men in front of him, and his "passes into the box" don't work for the same reason.
I don't know if it's his fault or if he's not getting adequate support... but it's not working.
Not sure about Ridenton but Victory's 2nd goal is partially on him for not clearing (Ernie was pretty clear about this...)
Also, I'd drop Johnny K and bring back Vujica

Italiano

Hoffman
Boogs
NTS
Vujica

Uga
Ridenton (Cowburn?)
Vargas

Jair/Champness
Roy
Sheppard/(Dimi from 70')

Vjuica is done at the Jets forget about him and while I agree on Dimi, He is an untouchable and will never be dropped reguardless of form

I'd like to see Cowburn into the team. I noticed on the weekend, of the two screeners, Stevie U-G took the "Kanta" role of screening the back 4 while Ridenton took the more advanced role supplying the attacking 4.

I would prefer Stevie U-G back into that more advanced role and I don't trust Ridenton to do this as much - I think Cowburn can do this role.

I would bring in Vujica for suspended DG and drop Jair for the returning Ronny. I think Ivan's attitude will help him - by all accounts in the youth games he's taking it seriously as one of the senior pros. However, my guess is Jackson goes back to FB.

I also anticipate Champness off the bench, not start.

Sheppard is also worthy of a start with his recent performances. He might not last the distance, but he's playing well.

we will be the better of the two teams on the pitch.

this however, doesnt matter much.


7-1 loss (Shepherd to score for us).

wait, what?

He has been a machine since he came back (apart from the last 10 mins v Roar where the coach should have hooked him).
He is the least of our problems ATM.
I'd be fine with Shep starting over Jair.
I like Jeterpools Cowburn theory.
Ronny gonna be back in regardless.

Jackson at LB with put too much pressure on Johnny K to overlap and attack

Ronnie and Dimi also don't work together IMO

Look, I agree he has played generally well, but he was heavily involved in both of Roar's goals, and nowhere to be seen when Troisi received the ball last Saturday: Thurgate tried desperately, but where was the RB? Now, I'm not sure what the duties are in a chaotic situation like that, and the responsibilities are also shared with Ridenton (clear the ball FFS!) and Italiano, but my feeling is he wasn't where he was supposed to be.
IMO he's not reliable as a full back, he could do much better in midfield. Maybe try him instead of Ridenton.

Spot on Stanny

The season is on the line tonight. Lose this and it all becomes about the ACL and recruitment for next season.

I'm confident. Sugar will return to his best tonight. As will Dimi. Hyphen to be best on ground, though.

Same old same old so far.

FMD....Kurt Ams giving us grief as 4th official!

There was no foul on DeJong or whatever his name is just before the break.

Good old Boogs. Reliable as ever

Boogs yet again with the assist for Sydney

Difference between Ronny and Jair?

Jair is at least trying.

Does Ronny even want to be here?

Calver should have received a 2nd yellow. Refs are a joke

Who else can take free kicks other then Petratos? I'd like to see him step aside.

Need a new Manager for that

At least Dimi pulled the trigger. Good sign

So Brosque gives the ref the f bomb in the first half and punches the ball away in the second.... no yellow.

Hoff basically farts on O'Neill and gets a straight red?

Oggie? Red mist?
I'm following this circus on the A-League app in Salzburg.
Think I'll try and apply for residency on the basis of being a genuine football refugee...

Softest ref card ever. Fact that O'neil stood on hoffs leg seems to not come into it.

**** this league is a joke.

O'Neill deliberately stepped on Hoffs leg . That ok apparently.

Ref realised Zullo already on a yellow so puts card back in pocket.

If that's not corruption not sure what is.

We cant blame the refs for our season because we are utter garbage.



But



O'neill's stomp and zullos 2nd yellow that went back in the pocket.
Just wow.

Wtf is this sh|t.

Ref pulling out red and then putting it back.

Total incompetence.

Did redmayne handle thevball outside the 18 yard box? Looked that way.

Worth a look...

Attachment 1595

And Bozza with the truth bombs....love for the man!

We are nearing the point of needing an investigation into the integrity of the game in this country in regards to officiating. Wilson just cannot possibly come out this week and back the performance of his referees.

Has betting finally cought up with the game in this country and influencing results ?.

The investigation would probably somehow find that Sydney and victory deserves more free-kicks, penalties etc. That's how investigations into corruption in football generally work.

Seriously though, Wilson needs to hang and a 3 man board needs to be in control of the refs, 1 former coach, 1 former ref and 1 former player

We are officially not going to make the finals. That leaves 13 boring matches + 1, maybe 2 acl matches.
This team has serious problems which, not surprisingly, were not magically fixed by Roy's return. The mantra "if we keep playing like this, results will come" doesn't make sense. We play good football, but if we keep playing like this, the results aren't going to be much different. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Not saying fold the club... bring on 2019/2020. Not feeling very optimistic i know.

That is very good point re the judging panel for referees performances. There seems from the outside looking in Wilson goes into a default self preservation mode by way of if he can convince the supporters his charges are having good games by extension he is doing a good job and on the flip side to come out and say they had a shocker would be an admission he is not on top of things.

Game is in a lot of strife if the FFA can't or refuse to admit and deal with this shite officiating.

jesus h christ. you get a red card for that these days? these referees are turkeys.

good thing we have VAR to fix obvious errors like that.

Can't you all see Hoffman was wearing a Jets kit? That's unacceptable violent behavior while not challenging for the ball. He deserves 4 games at least.

Will Hoffman challenge the Red card? I’m not sure the replays categorically rule out him intentionally rolling into the guy.
I’m sure you could find 100 tangles just the same though.

I can’t wait to see the new “most violent act of thuggery since Roy O’Donovan” get served an 11 game suspension.
