Would you rather have AIDS or cancer?
I'll call Stubby gone before the restart. Zane and Bridgey to steer.
Now the review which I thought would be a farce has some teeth and has claimed the scalps of Middleby and Baartz surely this bloke is a dead duck??
The issue to me is not the 1 win in 14
The issue to me is the boring playing style which sees us not actually pressure opponents take the initiative in games or better yet actually entertain the crowd.
We have not played good enough in 14 games this season to actually deserve to say we were the better side in the game(regardless of the scoreboard)
Sure you win games from time to time you don't deserve to and you lose games when you don't deserve to (thats football) but we have gotten exactly what we have deserved by not actually being the dominant team every week bar one win where we were still not the best side on the night just more clinical in front of goal than our opponent
Have a go you ****s and play the game to embrace the talents of our players not some GVE 4-3-3 inspired system and style that don't ****ing work with these blokes
That's not even the reason I want Nubbins gone though it's all true. I want him gone for delivering nothing but BS... where is the fabled "I want to play attacking football" that he raved about before the season? To then treat the FFA Cup like a pre-season friendly and dish turd after turd up on the park and then say "things are going well, we looked really good, bit unlucky" when nothing changed... **** off, Phil.
I don't like what Stubbins has done with the squad (a squad that I think is capable of top 4) and would love to see him gone, but hypothetically if he goes all we will see (like we will with Middlebys departure) is an internal replacement.
Some may say fine, they would be happy with Zane. My problem in this scenario is that Zane inherits a basket case that is getting worse by the day, he steps into a job with increasingly less resources where he has very little chances of doing anything but jeopardising future career prospects in coaching.
Like the CEO job, if stubbins goes, you would be crazy to step into the coaching role at this club until the new owners are found or the FFA takes control of the club.
Bring Deans in, gets us the derby victory then **** him off once the club is sorted.
if he ****ing played the best players in the team week in week out in there best positions
we would actually have won more than 1 game.
I want to see this, just once during this season:
-------------Biraz--------------------
Neville--Kew--Madaschi--Carney
-------------Celeski------------------
Griff--------Flores------------Hoole
--------Edson--Jeronimo------------
OK
Murdered in midfield. I don't understand how anyone would expect celeski to hold the entire midfield together by himself. Celeski needs someone doing the donkey work like Milligan did for him at victree, thus allowing him to pick the passes and dictate play a bit.
Close to a very good lineup but not balanced.
Griff and Hoole actually track back, and put in defensive shifts. As opposed to other attacking wingers in the league.
And Neville is a machine, love him.
Carney will technically be a second midfielder with the amount he'll want to get forward.
I think that team would work. I'd love to see it just once this season.
OK
Replace celeski with a defensive minded midfielder. Someone like paartalu would make that formation sing, oh wait.......... He didn't sign with us.
Haha, "Griff tracks back", that gave me a solid giggle. Carney isn't a left back any more, if you've seen him play this year you should know that wastes his talents and exposes his weakness's.
Stubbins won't go, we can't afford to pay him out.
While I tend to agree Tommyjet, I also think why not give it a go. We have nothing to lose.

Really wish promotion/relegation was a thing here so mediocrity wasn't as acceptable as our lot have let it become.
Watch the City game again and tell me Griff doesn't track back.
OK
Yeah Griff tracks back but that is not what makes Griff a god.
Griff is of more use to us scoring goals and playing up front where he belongs. Not being asked to be a pack horse to do donkey work for the side.
Play the players where their skill sets are best utilised. Using him as a workhorse and not at the pointy end of our play is just screaming of stupidity from the coaching staff.
GK (both about the same, who cares)
Nev - Kew - Mad - Carn
Hoole - Celeski - Kanta - Flores - Jeronimo
Griff
I would agree with this to some extent but I think his biggest mistakes have always been in recruitment. He has signed some diamonds but a hell of allot of duds along the way. Then sticks steadfastly to the game plan regardless that the dud players he signed were not up to it. Would love to know what signings were his and what were pushed upon him, if any.
The stint at the AIS gave him this immovable belief that his game plan was the only way to play and sticking to it regardless of evidence to the contrary. In some respects its admirable that he stuck to his beliefs despite what the armchair coaches had to say, but in other respects it was just plain dumb to keep making the same mistakes over and over.
I would have GVE back over Stubbins in a heart beat, particularly considering the article today suggesting we have lined up an ex NSL coach. Has me fearing greatly that Kossie is on his way back to Newie
Agree with PV somewhat...play the Magnificent Seven (Kew, Carney, Celeski, Flores, Griff, Edson, Jeronimo) together, put whatever else you want around them.
They have 95% of the clubs experience and goals between them.
