TALKING POINTS:

General

• Last week was the first time all seaosn the Jets have lost consecutive games.
• It was also the first time this season they have been kept scoreless.
• Newcastle last defeated Perth at home on November 5th, 2011, through a Jeremy Brockie 2-minute double. They are winless against Glory at home in their last 9.

Players

• Daniel Georgievski will miss the game through suspension after receiving his 8th booking of the season.
• Adam Taggart has scored in his last 2 appearances in Newcastle.

Just a few points this week, sorry everyone. Won't have time to get anything else out this week. Hopefully do better for the derby.

With your lineup there is no width

Maybe start Joey instead of Mcgree/Pato but there isnt much more options with what we have in my opinion

Dimi Pato Mcgree and Vargas are all number 10s or middle players IMO

wouldn't mind if ernie gave dimi a week off (or start him from the bench), he's looking tired, and want to see him rip against the coasties.

as stupid as this sounds, i do think this is a really crucial game for us. we need to get a bit of the belief back from earlier this season.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment I doubt that would have the desired reaction within the squad. He has been a standout performer all season, the game to start him from the bench would have been tha last game.

If we are serious, this is the game we need to win to get the belief back.

Very interesting going forward now

I think we may keep Kanta at the backs and play Brown in the mids this game

I actually think, as much as it was all the talk after his signing that Pato and Vargas shouldn’t come on the pitch at the same time. Might be best to use one of them off the bench to replace the other.

Keep Vujica on the pitch, got turned inside out by Arzani but so did everyone, play him and hoff on both sides, and against the coast put hoff on the wing

That kind of gold is wasted on some people...

Wish the Member was around to remind us the toilet seat is ours.

I was expecting him to pop out of the cave last sunday but seems His return might take a bit longer.

having the Hoff back should give us more of a target down the wing to spread it a bit, would still like to see Johnny K given a go at the back with Kanta resuming his midfield provider duties, was pretty obvious we weren't getting the penetration we should have been getting without Kanta where he should be

seriously hoping Roy sees more of the ball this week, the closest he got to the ball last match was when he was trying to steal it himself from their keeper, Ernie's still got two games to play with till show time so still time to give JK a go... :chant:

Ernie's already ticked his to do list this year, no wonder he's not phased at the end of year fails.

Heard he's booked his OS holidays before the GF.

Perth will make us look like gravy...again

If Kanta is our Boogs replacement going forward then Jackson will be asking for a release post season i reckon.

Is Johnny k signed for next season??

Yes.

Only off contract players are Kosta P, Boogs, Vargas and Pato.

McGree will return to Brugge

Lineup IMO

Duncan

Vujica
Toppa
Jackson
Hoffman

Kanta
Urg
