I feel we are a massive chance to get something out of this match if Miller plays Kanta at #10 again.
Otherwise we'll get flogged.
Over to you supercoach.
Jones hasnt shown he studies and does homework on our opponents before he chooses his tactics and selections and i dont think he will start now. 3-0 loss boogard red card
Maybe he does but his dog eats itQuote:

Ffs, cause ugarkovic is the problem. jones is a genius!
And Looks like Cowburn will make way as well according to the Herald.
While I think it's the wrong decision, at least he's making some!
Obviously looks like Uga and Cowburn are getting the ass so he can find a starting spot for Kokko.
Smart coaching IMO.
Does the scoreboard at the ground do three digits or will they stop the match when City score 99 goals ?
All dictionaries will need to be updated with the following :
Clusterf#ck: See Newcastle Jets selection criteria
Are city going to play Yoshi to replace Bratten?
Im still furious the little c"nt snobbed us, we couldve used him last week instead of hoolahoop on the wing falling over all the time.
442 with Coco Pops & Mortigol up front.
The pommy midget & polevault in the middle.
Yoshi to run the flanks as he showed the ground he can cover while looking for a team.
Otherwise devante covic & scHoolies on the touchlines.
Were farked at the back regardless. Captain fantastic is top goalscorrer, so doesnt defend anymore cos hes a striker now.
Id like to have a beer with duncan. And teach him how to catch a ball over head height.
Ive imported better catchers hidden inside lamps. Who knows where jack is hiding his ability.
Seriously......can we rehire Trani so he can get rid of another coach. Only took him 3 months with Miller so am guessing about 6 weeks with Jones should do it.
i likea you!Quote:
