I'll pay that in that context then
Cowley shows a lot of promise and I think he did enough to justify his inclusion in the team.
I thought Hoffman held his own today against Broich as well.
Birraz just keeps getting better every week - I thought he was our best once again.
Overall, I thought the team did very well considering our two first choice centre backs and our two best strikers were not available for selection.
However, I am wondering what's going through Millers mind when it comes to substitutions. With a tiring Brisbane defence and the Jets needing a goal I would have thought Mitch Cooper was the man to bring on more so than Cowburn.
But in saying that I thought we looked better after he'd taken Watson off for Cowburn

ffs furns enough with the look for yourself shite.
It said. Wilson is an alcoholic child abuser
lol.
i did find it in that thread after looking through this thread first. but thanks anyway furns.
RE: substitutions - most everybody could see Leo was cooked after 70 mins. Give Pavicevic a chance to make an impact, rather than a token 4 minutes to keep his confidence up.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the best super sub in my living memory, and he sure as shite got more than 4 effing minutes.
Not sure what game you were watching, Brisbane were all over us in the last 15 minutes, you could have thought Brisbane were playing at home the way they were attacking us, when we attack we have two holding midfielders who never ever get forward, it's becoming a huge issue as numbers in the box are extremely limited, even yesterday when we had the ball high in the oppositions third we still managed to have two holding midfielders holding hands with each other, it appears they are to scared to venture forward, maybe it's an instruction from Miller but at home we should at least attack in numbers
Pretty much agree with you, I going to be blunt here, have a lot of time for Miller and the new mentality he has installed at the club and within the playing group blah blah but he just seems cluleless when it comes to making subs. Leonardo's legs were gone as mentioned by the 70th minute but this isn't the first time this has happened, last week Trifunovic just wasn't up to it (now appears he wasn't fully fit) yet saw out nearly the whole game. Time and again we've seen him not make full use of the bench, Cooper in particular who has shown enough potential since last season needs to be exposed more often at this level is left unused. I'm sure he has his reasons but just doesn't seem much logic his substitutions on when he does them or the players either.
What a passionless, insipid lot we are in Newcastle. Kudos to the Squadron for the Banners and the singing and chanting but for a lively, even game which went right up to the wire that was a overall lame and pathetic home crowd last night.
People around me chatting away as if they were having a little get together not a football match.
I remember of years gone by when we had smaller crowds than the 10,000 or so but there was more noise and a better atmosphere.
The team put in a good shift last night against a good Roar side but the response overall from our home supporters was piss poor to say the least.
You forgot to use "plastic fan".
Or #mysupportisbetterthanyoursupport
Re subs, did you guys see the bench? They all needed permission slips from their mums to be there!
I get the feeling that miller thinks we don't have the depth, and last night really drove that home to me when I saw the bench. I'd like to see more subs too but feel that it would have been lambs to the slaughter last night.
I cannot believe how much of a difference Leo makes. We are jack without him
He is fantastic. But wouldn't you rather give him a rest midway through the second half, injecting fresh legs and potentially winning the game, and have Leonardo right for next week.
Without Leo our attack can be described as pedestrian, with him in the team he gives our attack some thrust and unpredictability. I think he is our key player, if he can remain injury-free for the rest of the season we may yet have a chance of playing Finals, without him....buckleys!
It was hard work in the squadron itself mate, not just elsewhere in the stands. Have no idea why, just seemed to be one of those nights. I don't think bay 60 fully got going until we scored.

That's rubbish belchardo, Cowburn and Cooper are both over 20 so hardly youngsters and both had plenty of game time last season.
Pav and Kitto are both around 20 also, less experienced at this level than the other two but I would hardly refer to the as "lambs to the slaughter". Would rather they get exposed at this level giving them 20-30 minutes here and there rather then we all of a sudden get hit with injuries and they have to be thrust into the lineup....then it would be like "lambs to the slaughter".
Not many memories of great atmosphere at afternoon games. All the good times were at night...apart from the GF of course.
of course, but I didnt think we would go to pieces that much without him.
We did ok against the league leaders. could've been any score but at least we created some chances.
If we were a capital city tweam would the FFA increase our squad roster, fkn oath they would.
they would prob buy us a decent coach too.
Sorry, that wasn't a shot at you Hawk.
More making a point that it looks like Leo will play every second week until he is flogged completely.
Poor bastard gets kicked from pillar to post, no Del Piero name protecting him.
Moreover, the coaching staff should know the players better and how to utilise them to the full potential over the course of a season
