There aren't that many things you and I agree on Membah. But informing the sheeple about Boogards shortcomings is one of them. I wouldn't mind him sitting on a bench coaching young players and transitioning into the backroom, but why we didn't look for another CB either in the offseason or before we resigned him for next year is worrying.Quote:

Good on him....unless you are at a club for a very long time I have no problem with ex players giving it the big ones. More modern PC respect crap.Quote:

Don’t really have a problem with players celebrating against old clubs. But I do notice when they don’t and I admit I have a little more respect for whoever they are.
Jair’s ball to Hoffman was divine. Shame he picked the only spot that meant he didn’t score.
Thought Ridenton played wel first half V Wellington, but if his trajectory continues he will be riding the pine soon enough.
Can’t believe there hasn’t been much more focus on Jair slipping over in the build up to their goal.
Imo if he doesn’t slip, old mate probably doesn’t put in such a decent cross for Goodwin because Jair would be closing him down.
In this case, though, Newcastle Jets is Goodwin's mother, and GVE is his father, in football terms.Quote:

Ridenton was one of the Reds best players last night he completed so many passes to them.
I actually agree I want Jair up topQuote:

Our attack is being stunted by having Jackson as a Fullback
That is 1 side of the park the opposition can push up on us on as he aint gonna hurt them on the counter
Throw in on the right Dimi dont like to go wide but cut inside it is made for Hoffman to overlap from Right back
Besides stopping Hoffman butchering sitters it should help our general play no end as it will pose consequences for opposition if they push on us too much
Bigger question, What has Vujica done to piss off MerrickQuote:

Vujica is slow as and with his speed I am surprised he is making a living as a pro
Vujica defends well and offers way more then Jackson going forward which is what you need in a Ernie teamQuote:

totally agree with question mark over what Ridenton adds to the team, at this point I am wondering if we can bring in Mullen instead as a special waver for Johnny K, even he would bring more to the team that what Riddy has to date, his runs on the wing and passing are better for a start... :popcorn:
You want Mullen? Ok enough internet for meQuote:

For the sake of trying to be like Merrick, I’ll say, maybe, nah and I was trying, there was no one who could hold the ball and/or penetrate.
King Vuj is slowQuote:

Make of that what you will
Maybe Ernie feels we have enough options in our FB positions and is frustrating Vujica into asking for a move to another club under this newly created Under 23 rule.
What Vujica lacks in speed he more than makes up for upstairs in regards to having a brain for that position. Vujica plays with a sense of urgency, Jackson looks like he just climbed out of the farter half the time and in need of a GPS to get his bearings.
anyone who thinks that Ivan is demonstrably slower than Jackson and that is a difference in their performance is kidding themselves.
Merrick included.
