What's Piddo doing this time of year? Back from his knee injury. Serious though, need a CB signing now as Boogs looks to be at least a medium term injury on first look. Hoping it's not ACL or anything.
City dropped off and looked like they didn't care 2nd half at times but nonetheless, more positives than the Wello game. Nervous about Derby next week...
Can't take a break atm with these injuries. Hoping Boogard is not serious..
How long did city play with 10 men before cahill came off?

Phew, City didnt drop points
Jones has ****ed up big time this week. Take back anything nice I said about him and apologize to those here who summed him up the day he got the job.
That midfield was never going to work.
City though are terrible if they can only get a 2-1 win against that steaming pile of shit.
For anyone that didn't watch the game I've posted a picture of Mark Jones' game plan.
I thought we played ok today. No idea why every jets player refuses to look before they pass ffs. Also stevie U (**** this ug business) needs to be first one picked every week. He is too good for the aleague let alone the jets and we need to use him why we can.
Also sad to say poijak has become a liability atm and Hoole with his millon touches before passing and his abysmal first touch needs a spell on the bench
When we did manage to string more than 3 passes together we looked reasonably dangerous.
We are in trouble next week, Scum seem to have found some form in the back of their caravan and well, we have no defenders.
Maybe Morten can play back there, he did a bang up job last night!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
how good is it having the whole weekend free of having to watch the Jets play like a bunch of cunce?
love these Thursday games
Love the game plan to let City cross as much as they want and put no pressure on their wingers, despite City having the best striker in the comp, plus the greatest header of the ball in Australian history, and us having a pre-pubescent teenager in the middle.
What could go wrong?
Have any of the football sites posted the game stats yet?
Am keen to see our 'mongrel' rating and whether it is up from last week as per coaches instructions.

Not sure what game you were watching the 3 passes we strung together was involving ones where the keeper got the ball. Melbourne city werent at their best, otherwise we would have been pulled apart. Boogard is terrible at the back young koutrombis did a better job of marking fornaroli than his more experienced leader. Hoole is scared to beat his man. Kokko is class but isnt fit. I have to question why we are conceding so many injuries and all these defenders???? Questions need to be asked. Hopefully martin lee can see that we are lacking a bit from the top teams
Boogard didn't have the best game but has been super for us most of the season. Doesn't help he is carrying a whole back 4.
Kokko is looking the goods but just needs fitness. Nobby needs just a little confidence and I suspect we will see a much different player.
Hoole seemed a touch more effective. His first touch was a little more composed.
For next week.. Brown/ug cm pairing with Poljak in CB?
