    The biggest concern from me yesterday was how quickly we abandoned the 3 at the back after the first goal. Jackson started slotting into midfield and looked lost to the point I fully expected he would be a half time sub (if not earlier). To change so quickly admits, to me, you got it wrong.

    While we went back to it in the second half, the substitutions were confusing. We were playing at a point with no left fullback and 5 attacking players.

    This is where I start to see concerns with a coach - we can't make sense of the substitutions. Sheppard added very little when he came on.

    Not time for him to go yet, but I'm looking at him differently - wondering what is going through his mind.

    why not try arthur papas?

    Ernie wasn't at the races as a coach yesterday. Bizarre changes to be honest and i don't think Ernie knew half the time WTF was happening. He appeared frazzled from the moment the first goal was conceded and like the players he never got his shit together.

    Ernie has been in denial all season trying to tell people who have a reasonable knowledge of the game we have been playing good football and everything was situation normal. Blind frigging Freddie complete with his white stick and Lab could see this was a load of crap.

    How is it Vujica from the get go has been seldom seen ?. Bloke can barely get game time as a specialist FB at his own club but can perform more than adequately for the National team. Does Ernie truly think we the fans don't have half a brain between us and question this idiocy of selecting Jackson before Vujica ?. Shit like this has been happening from the very first round and Ernie has been just as poor as some of the players this season. I didn't know Uga had to give up one of his legs to earn a new deal because he looks like a player that has lost a leg in recent times. Bloke played like he had concrete in his boots yesterday.

    There has been only one player worthy of his wages this past month and that is Crazy George, The rest should find a charity to give there's to because f%^k knows they haven't turned up to earn it when it has counted.

    Stubbins though was the idiot who signed Flores Jeronimo Celevski Madaschi and agreed to the new contracts for Griff and Devonhead
    He was then the idiot who threw them under the bus when it didn't work out

    Got more time for Miller and Jones in recent times as they had less to work with than Stubbins did

    Stubbins made plenty of bad decisions with a decent squad at his disposal well before things went pear shaped and the mutiny in Adel aide transpired

    He was great last year!

    He also isn't solely to blame for the season. On paper, there was no reason why we couldn't have achieved Top 4 as a reasonable expectation.

    I'm less inclined to jump on the Ernie out bandwagon.

    I was talking about Stubbins. Ernie has his faults and when it doesn't work then it doesn't work as weve seen with his stint at victory

    i don't disagree, but all the off-field stuff played into it as well.

    The off field stuff ramped up towards the end of that season

    It was only really when the team lost in Adel aide that Tinker got involved making it blow up 1000× fold

    The first half of that season our failings were on no one other than Stubbins and his decisions
    By the time the 7-0 result occurred that was the culmination of his ineptness between his arrival and mid season

    This year's team is much weaker than last years team so it's not surprising we missed out on a finals spot.
    We didn't bring in anyone to replace Pato, McGree, or Nabbout - and we have had injury issues with players, suspensions, a shitful draw, and a few ageing types who probably should have been put on notice rather than given contract extensions.
    The future looks even worse as we are going to be losing players and not replacing them with equivalent or better.
    We also have a few players underperforming and yet still on a good money holding us back as well.

    I honestly can't see Ernie hanging around much longer if the budget continues to shrink unless he see's this as his last ever appointment before retiring.
