    So you're saying that GVE needed more than 3 days to realise that someone should mark Rojas?
    Or that he needed more than 3 days to plan for a team he's already played twice this year?
    He could have had 9 months and still come up with the same bollocks.

    Also Member have you already forgotten Week 1?
    Oh yeah Adelaide will be buggered from playing O/S etc etc and they came out and clowned us.
    GVE had 6 months to prepare for that one and still came up with squat.

    the excuse bullshit about having to fly internationally for a midweek game is similar

    we played Friday, Wednesday and Sunday games, compare and contrast with any team who played in European competitions, did they crap on about how this was some great injustice or did they just ****ing get on with it as professionals? four days gap then three days gap for a three hour flight is more than enough for fit professionals
    The only player Popa has got the best out of is Topor, and I think we all realised that if you put him next to someone who tells him what to do (Ljubo and Beachump) he plays well. The others aren't performing any better at WSW then they did here. Hell, the people's favourite, Takka, isn't even getting any game time there, but GvE was wrong to let him go. Credit to Popa though for making Bridge pull his finger out.

    As for the midweek games, squads in Europe would generally have more than 23 available first squad players. When you consider that 4 of those are youth spots, that's 19 spots available and with our salary cap, having those spots filled with quality is hard, unless you're SFC. So playing midweek would take a strain on the squad (eg Gallaway/#13 and Zenon).

    No Plague what I am saying is that a bunch of 19-20 year old kids most of them in their first season of professional level football where they are expected to hold down a spot every week ain't up to developing a sharp degree of focus and doing a short preparation between games and getting it right everytime.

    Ususally this is the domain of a seasoned bunch of professionals to be able to put in performances week in week out in these circumstances. But you and plenty of other people expect that from a bunch of 19-20 year olds as a mandatory when they have shown nothing to warrant any faith in that they are masters of this game yet

    Hence why most of the blokes weren't focused properly judging by their shoddy efforts at representing the city of Newy yesterday.

    They will bounce back this Friday let go of the hate and relax.

    Nah, I just expect our coach and CEO to put together a squad of players capable of dealing with this sort of thing and not resort to bullshit excuses and then blaming those same players when we get spanked.

    Sick of excuses 'tis all.

    This is Newy mate Excuses is all we have got!!!

    Gotta roll with the punches a bit more. We spend so much time on the foz knocking these blokes for their incompetence and weaknesses so why are we devastated when they live up to the incompetence and weaknesses??

    It's all most a self fulfilling prophecy

The back pass that he hit short after 45 seconds that left BK high and dry and played in James Meyer was definitely not worthy of a first team recall and I thought would mean that would be the last we would see of him this season

    And there is a major problem in the club, if its true. The CEO should have nothing to do with the football department.

    Bang on the money Thomas.


    Palmer/Tinks will be the one to fire GVE anyway not Middleby even if it pans out that Middleby is the messenger. The decision will have **** all to do with him at the end of the day

    Getting back to the live chat thing, I think it's rather tokenistic, as most people will be at work and won't have the opportunity to participate at 10am. Would have been interesting if it started at say 730pm, though as #13 said, the most interesting questions won't see the light of day...

    Who should we get in instead?

    Honestly there are not that many options and most of them suck worse than GVE.

    Got a couple of Questions for GVE Grimario.

    Kale Bradbery has been banging goals in for the Jets youth team in both the NBN League and NYL. Bloke obviously has a gift at finishing chances and is showing he can do it as he steps up the levels. What does GVE think are Kales strengths and what does he need to work on to get the opportunity at HAL level that he hasn't had yet??

    With the playing style we play why does the HAL side so infrequently try to play blokes moving forward in an attempt to beat the offside trap and set up one one ones with the keeper yet the Youth team seems to be more interested in this method of attack?? With Taggart Virgili and even Heskey we do have some pace up front to exploit.
    During the recent game V Heart we got Heskey and Ryan Griffiths one on one with the keeper and got two goals. This would be a rare example of this occuring at HAL level. Wouldn't having the in behind threat also cause teams to sit deeper and give our mids and defenders a bit more space to play out and to avoid being caught dwelling on the ball as is too often the case ??

    When we play away matches why is the playing style not altered slightly to force our opponent to take the initiative. A few games this season we have been trying to dominate from the first minute and have been successfully countered and are immeadiately behind in the game playing catch up. Why are we not showing our opponent a bit more respect on their home field and keeping it tight for the first 15-20 mins and working into the game to force them into a position where they have to come at us and open the game up a bit more for our passing game instead of trying to force our game plan onto the game without earning it??? A draw in an away match isn't the worst outcome.

    If Grimario asks the last part for sure he will be sent to do laps.

    Toungue feel good?? FFS Been over this before I just plain well don't hate on the bloke like some of the others here wanting to feel vindicated by a loss/poor form.

    Bloke has issues no doubt about it but I actually want him to suceed coz if he does my ****ing team does and starting again with a new manager will get us nowhere except closer to the Joke that is Sydney FC.
