Hope dimi gave arroyo a proper spray for not giving that pass

Boogaard bullying Berisha: I never get tired of that
Wtf has happened with Dimi? Injured Ibini looked more effective
Terrible decision by the ref.
A yellow on Berisha is always well spent.
(that wasn't even a foul btw)
I hope we give Boogs another contract.
Maybe Carl has said stop dicking around with the ball.Quote:

Soooo..... Y da fuq isn't Dura off for that sh!t effort with the free kick? (2nd yella)
Have decided the collective description will be a Griffiths of Petratos
:thumbsup:
Young Maki’s leave will give him nightmares. Not that he would have scored as the last chance was the best he had, but it was a chance.
Wish we signed Berisha. Would be nice to have an absolute c*** of a player that everyone else hates that scores goals.
I think we have one of those already....and ours scored more than Bes last night ;)Quote:

For interest, attached is the 10-game moving points average for the Jets. The red line is the point Deans transitioned to Robinson.
21 points from a possible 30 isn't our best. We achieved 22 in a 10 game period in the GF season under Merrick. But for comparison, that's the rate we're accumulating points.
Note - the line down from the 21 is the last game we have this season - graph is set up to cover the remainder of the year

More on Carl:
In the matches before Carl came in, we were conceding 2.13 goals per game this season and scoring 1.06.
In Carl's 9 matches, we've scored at 1.22 (11 in 9) however we've conceded 6 in 9 (0.66) goals per game. Such a massive turnaround
I think a big difference is that now we play from the back, no matter what.Quote:

And it proves we had the quality to do that: we're handling pressing very effectively, we've lost only a bunch of balls in the last few games.
Ugarkovic has a huge role in all this.
We still need some work in the front third.
And yes, Boogaard beating and abusing the sh*t out of Berisha, while smiling at him, has made my week.
It's great we keep talking up our finals hopes, but my opinion is the season is over after results in a few games last week.
Firstly, Adelaide and Perth need a point from the last 2 and 3 games respectively.
Secondly, Western United and WSW have 4 and 3 games (respectively) in hand on us and need 5 points from those possible 12 or 9 to knock us out.
Thirdly, our goal difference is inferior (-11) to the others, with Perth +11, Adelaide -5, Western United +6 and WSW (-2).
We will aim to finish on 34 points, which i think will get us 7th or 8th. Interested in people's thoughts.
