TALKING POINTS:

Memorable Match - 5th February 2012

• The Jets play some of the most fluid and attacking football ever seen in the club, demolishing Sydney 5-2 on their home turf. Goals to Topor-Stanley, Zadkovich, Abbas and a double from Brockie give the Jets their biggest win over Sydney as well as being the frist occassion the team scored 5 goals in a match.

General

• The Jets are currently 10 matches without a win against Sydney. They've only achieved 2 draws during that time while they have lost the last 5 matches against Sydney.
• The Jets have also only scored in one of the last 9 against Sydney. That was a 4-3 loss in Season 2014/15.
• Sydney currently sit atop the table with 3 wins from their first 3 matches
• Sydney haven't conceeded a goal in either the FFA Cup or the A-League this year - a run of 7 matches.

Players

• Alex Brosque has scored 4 goals in his last 3 appearances against Newcastle.
• Danny Vukovic will make his 35th appearance against the Jets. This is the most of any opposition player.
• Nigel Boogaard is the first Jets centre back to score in consecutive matches. Should he score this week, he will be the first player to score in 3 consecutive matches since Edson Montano.
• Former Jet David Carney will return to Newcastle for the first time since his mid-season departure from the club last year.

Newcastle Jets

• The Jets have remained undefeated after the first 3 matches of a season only once before - 2007/08 when they started with a 5 match streak without loss.
• If the Jets score this weekend, they will have scored in 8 consecutive A-League matches for the first time since the 2006/07 season, when the team scored in 10 matches in a row.
• Newcastle have scored 7 goals in the first 3 matches this season - the most in their history. The previous record was 5 in season 2012/13.
• The Jets have kept Sydney scoreless once in the last 22 matches.

Sydney FC

• Sydney have never lost against the Jets when they score first.
• The Jets are currently 284 minutes without scoring against Sydney.

Injuries

• Newcastle Jets - Daniel Alessi - Knee (Season), Daniel Mullen - Knee (12 weeks), Ben Kennedy - Achilles (Season), Andrew Nabbout - Groin (3 weeks), Lachlan Jackson - Ankle (indefinte)

fvck me that is not a good stat.

Too much hype going into this round. We'll lose by 3. 4-1 to Sh!tney.

Plague jr wants to see the planes fly over?

nah, he's been enjoying Sydney FC play this year so he's keen to go watch.

Flyover would be dope though.

Just another piece of the Jets gone to Sydney.

[The Dunster]

Jets will be too good for Sydney.

Jets 2 - Blue Khunts 0

He might witness the Jets crash

[RAM]

We're ****ed without Nabbout and Jackson.

[Jeterpool]

We're ****ed without Nabbout and Jackson.

We're moving people around because of the injuries, but I'm not willing to throw the towel in.

I expect Kanta will be moved to CB and Poljak comes back into CM. It's a tough move but Brown will move out wide - Clut will work hard to provide the same amount of energy. Nordstrand will come back to lead the attack.

If Kokko is fit, Poljak to go back to the bench and Brown move back next to Ugarkovic, Nordstrand behind Kokko and Clut wide?

Another serious injury, particularly to a defender, and we will really be stretching thin.

[380]

Jones to pull a rabbit out of his hat and play Boogs and Hoff at 9 and 10 respectively.

[StannyCFCJET]

Why cant Noddy or Haliti play out wide??? isnt Kokko back?? and If we are serious about actually winning let alone finals football Kanta cant play Cb reguardless of injuries. Hasnt Cowburn played CB b4?

[hawk]

fvck me that is not a good stat.

Too much hype going into this round. We'll lose by 3. 4-1 to Sh!tney.

Usually this. We lay down to these grubs all to often.

I hope this group can turn it round.

[Hunter403]

Really want a win from us but with the injury toll and our record against the smurfs I am expecting the wheels to fall off this week. To add insult to injury Carney and The Beard to score

(Insert deity here), I hope we win!

[Jetmaster]

35 years ago....nothing has changed!



80's Newy dominate and score two class goals. 80's Smurfs comeback controversially and equalise through ex 70's Newy legend (a 70's Griff).

Pandemonium as we feel ripped off.

[Jeterpool]

I don't think they have the legs to play the expected role of the wingers.

[StannyCFCJET]

I don't think they have the legs to play the expected role of the wingers.

Nobby played wing last year and Hailit played wing for us and WSW b4

[Jeterpool]

Nobby played wing last year and Hailit played wing for us and WSW b4

True. But this year we are expecting a lot more high intensity play from our wingers. Their speed has been a crucial factor in our success.
We saw last year how we struggled with slower wingers in Enver and Carney.
I don't think they are best suited to that role under our current game plan.

[rhysd]

Can see the Hoff getting the nod for the vacant wide spot just for his sheer pace and athleticism. Run the defence ragged and bring on a few clever players together at the end to rip in.

[Poshpom]

Nobby played wing last year and Hailit played wing for us and WSW b4

Both coming back from injury, with the pressing game the Jets are trying to play neither of them would last till half time!
