TALKING POINTS:

General

• This is just the second Saturday night match against the Nix in Newcastle. The last on 20/11/2010 saw the Jets win 1-0 with a Marko Jesic goal.
• And they have won 3 and lost 1 of the Saturday clashes against Wellington in Newcastle.
• Seven players have scored doubles in this fixture at Hunter Stadium.
• This fixture has produced an average of 4 goals per game over the last 10 between these two

Key Stats from Previous Round

• The Jets are 4 games undefeated for the first time since Round 3 last season (Rd 27 15/16 - Rd 3 16/17)
• Newcastle have managed to gain 5 points from losing positions so far this season.
• Newcastle remain undefeated after 4 games for the second time in A-League history. The last time was 2007/08.
• However, 8 points from 4 games is not the best start to a season. Twice before the Jets have won 3 and lost 1 to start a year with 9 points.

[plague]

not going.
lose.
fold the club.
downfall starts now.

[Hunter403]

We rarely beat these bastards. Expecting the wheels to fall off this weekend.

I'll still be there tho

[Jeterpool]

Positive feel about the heart of this team. Think we will win.

If Kanta is out it's a blow, but offers a legitimate reason fro Brown to feature and Champness to come in the team.

[plague]

even though its a late start its still gonna be 44 degrees at kickoff.

[The Dunster]

even though its a late start its still gonna be 44 degrees at kickoff.

Which in the past favours Wellington as they are frozen on arrival and the 44c heat simply brings them back to normal operating temps.

[StannyCFCJET]

No kanta start cowburb or Johnny k. **** brown off. We gotta stop trying to find a place for him. He isn't performing or offering us anything atm

[380]

Lose

Zane to manage on the weekend as Ernie does not like to show for Nix games.

[boz-monaut]

even though its a late start its still gonna be 44 degrees at kickoff.

Weren't we doomed regardless?

[MFKS]

Weren't we doomed regardless?

**** Me.

Have some faith you ****s

We are mediocre until Ronny comes back at least

But they are worse than us even when we have no Ronny

I expecting 3 points on Saturday night and a ****ing clean sheet

In the bag

fmd, bipolar MK now swings hard the other way in support of jest. Bagging not far off now.

The good results have sent him mad

[Couscous]

I believe we will lose to Wellington.

[MFKS]

fmd, bipolar MK now swings hard the other way in support of jest. Bagging not far off now.

No

I firmly of the opinion that Bert has raised the bar slightly enough at the club that we should be able to win and expect to win this game

These blokes should salute on Saturday night

I be pretty ****ing pissed if they don't as I will feel they have shafted their fans AGAIN

Expectation in Newy is growing

We turned the ship and it onwards and upwards

[Cabaye#4]

No kanta start cowburb or Johnny k. **** brown off. We gotta stop trying to find a place for him. He isn't performing or offering us anything atm

+1

Brown is easily the worst import in the league.

[StannyCFCJET]

+1

Brown is easily the worst import in the league.

Behind Hoole

[belchardo]

possibility that i will be at the game, so guaranteed loss.

[goaliepersempre]

Will be at the game, hopefully bring some overseas luck.


Hopefully not as tired as in Sunday st the match, but most likely pretty drunk 😂

[Couscous]

How good is this? Jets playing the prime-time game.
