Fair to say that we are pretty much at full strength now. This will be the real test of how far we have come under Carl Robinson. We need to win this one.
Ibini not in squad, Not fully fit?
Not good enough to make the squad in the first place.Quote:

I think Carl's about to get his first loss. Brisbane are well and truly controlling the game now.
Our passing is to piss poor to even attemp playing this way.
We need to be direct.
seeing the Jets suck is actually making me feel better
finally, something familiar and reassuring in these awful times
Houlihan needs to be hooked. His effort level is piss poor in attack and invisible in defence.
Wes and Dimi are too deep and Roy is isolated up front and not looking like scoring
Kossie must have read this..Quote:

I'd bring on Arroyo for Houlihan.
Get two up front and start playing direct.
Roar will kill us if we keep trying this slow build up passing shit.
As I was typing it.Quote:

Could only watch bits and pieces but it all looked a bit slow and hard going. Brisbane weren't the better side by much, other than shots on target and obviously shots that actually went in. If you don't get them on target, you aren't going to score many goals. Oh well. Still winning where it counts I suppose.
Win next weekend and our season aims will be achieved
Victory against the Gypos will see them 11 points behind us with 3 games to go
Nothing else matters
seemed to lack ideas on how to break the roar structure down. passing was poor. perhaps their minds were elsewhere.
is there a revised draw somewhere? heard on the broadcast that we are playing again on Monday night.
Seems like Robbo is implementing a possession based game, but tempo is way too slow: 3 touches before passing, and Roar had all the time to maintain a decent structure all the time.
Lacked a bit of spark from Dimi and Wes.
Johnny wasn't that good, gave away too many possessions, including the one that led to Brisbane's goal.
Arroyo had a positive impact, but he can't hit a hangar door and seems more and more disconnected from the team.
That said... looks like games are only being played to avoid contract issues with Fox (who are just waiting for an excuse to bail out)

Arroyo plays for him self more then the team no matter how good he's been. We've been playing a little quicker past few weeks but certain players always take number 10 cough cough always take too many touchesQuote:

Arroyo is a winger IMO
Agree about Dimi. Reckon both Dimi and the club could do with fresh starts.Quote:
