The Championship Chronicles - The Jetstream's review of the 2007/08 season. www.newcastlefootball.net/chronicles
We need a coach. A good coach.
So we lost our 1st game of the season and people want to overreact?
Relax everyone, week 2 should see us improve.
We are too scared on the ball at times. Need to take more risks especially in added time
The young kid at right back needed to be told we aren’t playing in white. Did he pass it to a team mate once
Wasn’t as bad as I was expecting.
Not great, but not abysmal.
Yuel and najarine look dangerous threats. Thurgate looks better for the games over last few years.
Nobody went through Ibini.
New active support? N sector.
Only time ref pointed out way was a mistake.
Looks like the Captain is reading the Forum!
I think there are quite a few positives:
- we played ok, in general
- young players played well (considering some mistakes have to be accepted): impressed by Mauragis, Yuel is a threat, and hopefully will get more composure inside the box
- Boogaard somehow managed to put his hands on Robinson (loved that)
Negatives:
- we lost against a pretty ordinary team (is that all you've got, Robbo?)
- Roy... hhhmmmmm
- Kosta
- Uga's head is somewhere else (although he had a decent 2nd half)
- Boogs didn't send Ibini out in a stretcher
Just 2 more things:
- wore a mask the whole game, wasn't really a big deal (and I don't like masks)
- at half time, Lawrie announced he's sticking around. Mattiske was there too.
see the Welchman has fully assimilated to life with the Wankerers, apparently now claiming to have invented coaching, we're the team he created despite being predominantly the team Ernie created and the rest being the new signings Lawrie and Joel created - but still take credit for it Welcher, just waiting for karma when ya get a better offer and piss off on the Wankerers anyway, can't wait to see it will be such a laugh to see them burn...
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
I said it the other week, Playing this system we have No cover/competition for Hoffman now that Millar has gone.
Antonee Burke was on trial late last year, previously of Jets Youth team and back from the US after a couple of seasons playing for Seattle's B team. Deans publically said he did well in trial vs Macarthur. He could have been playing now given Hoffman is out.
We were ok but we lack mongrel and confidence. Last two matches have supposed to have been grudge matches but I haven't seen any toughness or arrogance.
As usual we find some promising youngsters but unlike other clubs we don't bring through one or two that have swagger and start off saying "I'm gonna own this league".
Overall we look timid, even the coach comes across that way. Roy has gone quiet though I think that is a lack of confidence.
Look at Robbo.....he came across as an arrogant **** last night. Our lot were hugging the bloke.

Following on, I won't be using Ticketmaster ever again to buy tickets, I just won't go. They only did horizontal distance, no vertical. I had 4 people directly in front of me and another 4 directly behind me. That is 8 people within the safe distance. If they let the members sit where they normally sit it would have been safer.
